Little Marilyn Jean Walker, the community's "favorite" baby, with her gigantic loving cup, $500 award, represents the best group of babies this universe has for posterity.

To them .11 th ntte. as reoresentative of with the cooperation of seventy nine of the community's business concerns. The Gazette wishes to extend its appreciation to these merchants, as well as to the citizens who made this election such a huge success. Photos of the candidates endorsed In the election, as published In these newspapers during the election, proved conclusively that this community's babies are exceptional babiesthat they are the most beautiful babies possible In life or in imagination. Thanks to all candidates, to all the mothers, dads, sisters, brothers uncles, aunts, cousins, grandmothers, grandfathers to the entire citizenry of the community who took active interest in this election through nonpartisan views; they are in the hearts of the Pittston Gazette and the cooperating business houses all closely Identified with the election.

The Pittston Gazette, as an organization, put Its best efforts into the promotion and feels Is amply repaid in the satisfaction from serving the greatest, most wonderful and most friendship blessed community in the world. It has been a great race. that a "land office business" was enjoyed by them also. Many old accounts were cleared up and many new customers were secured The election, as a newspaper circulation builder, established ft fine record unique and outstanding In publishing chronicles. Never before did a newspaper receive such support in a community enterprise of this type.

Parents, relatives, and friends of the individual babies combed the community clean for votes and subscriptions that meant votes, which might be cast for their chosen ones. Telephones, the mails, and personal visits were called into use by the citizens conducting campaigns for various children. Hundreds of new subscribers were added to the lists as well as a large per cent of renewals were secured. The Gazette has enjoyed a wide subscription patronage and are now in better position than ever before to best serve the needs of its advertisers. Inspired as a business reviver and as a means of establishing bank accounts for a number of this community's' babies, this election was conducted by the Pittston Gazette unity the recognition that is their due, the election brought out the most strenuous though friendly rivalry the people of one community can have among themselves.

The stores and business houses were visited by busy shoppers right up to the closing minutes of the election and their attention was Immediately directed to seeking the election returns and anxiously hoping that results favorable to their chosen nominee would be advanced. A large number of persons congregated in front of the Election Headquarters this morning awaiting the official announcement of the winners as soon as the business men's committee and their assistants could finish the task of verifying the totals for the large number of contestants. The telephone was busy with anxious inquiries as to the progress of the count. Numerous inquiries were received from points in the county last night, further emphasising the widespread Interest the babies, in their quest for fame and fortune had created. The committee (with assistants from the Gazette) were: Capt.

Paul Seller, of Salvation Army; E. W. Smart, Mgr. Krcsge $1 store; Wesley Perry, Mgr. Sales, Roy Stauffer.

The Gazette, on behalf of Its own organization and the people of this community, extend to them now their slncercst thanks and appreciation. Thirty listed prizes were Awarded the winners. Every baby who was supported by subscribers as provided by the election will receive a cash remuneration. The thirty prize winners, with the number of votes polled by each, are listed elsewhere in the Gazette today. Every one of the thirty had more than one million votes as the published list attests and some outside the highest thirty voters were in the "big' class also.

The election was a Shower of Cash in the fullest sense, as it aspired to be when it began February 21st. Even until the last votes were cast last Saturday night the rivalry was intense, though friendly. While the votes cast for the nearly 2S0 nominated babies proves the election a "landslide," the hundreds of thousands of coupons Issued by the merchants upon each fifty cent cash purchase proved conclusively WH the people, pay homage. ifiiitillf The total of millions or votes cast turn ilMttlAn tAAtlflM tn th mm port given it by the people of Pitts V' 1 toB anS sajacent territory, it wu a successful promotional enterprise.
