Alan Densem, husband of Mrs. Densem, Silver St., Bow- manville, and son of Mrs. Fred Densem, enlisted with the Hast- ings and Prince Edward Reg't and has been overseas more than 4 years. With his unit he was in the first wave that stormed Sicily and the Reg't has stormed for- ward in the thick of the Italian campaign ever since.

Bowmanville Girl Decomes BMiss Ajax of 1944" Thursday night, at Recreation Hall, in Ajax, twenty-one finalists for the coveted title of "Miss Ajax" paraded before the judges in a convincing proof that groom- ing, poise, personality, grace, figure and general loveliness are to be had in abundance in this war working plant of D.I.L. For those are the points on which the girls were judged. And the judges were: Miss Adele White,, Beauty Editor of Chatelaine Mag- azine; Mr. Ronald York-Wilson, a Toronto artist; and Mr. Tom Wil- son of Oshawa. T h e eliminations proceeded slowly as the judges later admit- ted such a bevy of beauties made the final choice a difficult one. Not particularly glamour girls were these-with the expected cheek-swinging eyelashes, volup- tuous curves and blonde, blonde tresses-but twenty-one whole- some looking, trim-figured, well groomed girls with pleasing per- sonalities and all obviously the kind of girls we'd like for pals, or-sweethearts. They reflected radiant health - pleasing self confidence and complete surprise that any one of them had lasted through to the finals. And of them all, Betty Welsh was the most completely surpris- ed that she should have been chosen as "Miss Ajax." Perhaps in this fact was a great part of her charm. Later, surrounded by happy friends and admirers she still disbelieved the fact that the golden trophy in her hands was rightfully hers. Betty is an employee of the Cap and Det. line in D.I.L. as are her mother, Mrs. Ann Welsh, and her grandmother, Mrs. Mary Cartwright, all of Bowmanville. The proud grandpa of Betty is a well-known citizen being Tom Cartwright, veteran of the World War. Betty and her Court of Beauty (twelve lovely runners-up in the finals) will go to Toronto next week to compete in the prelimin- aries of the Miss War Worker Contest. And four further girls, who, although employed at Ajax are not actually on the production line (being Staff) will compete in Toronto for the title of Miss Toronto. Here are the twelve girls who compete in Toronto for the title of "Miss War Worker"-Cecelia Arbing, Violet Hoskett, Kay Hagerty, Aleda Kirk, Juliana Konarski, Ethel Ponto, Doris Smeltzer, Betty Welch, Ethel Longman, Helen Eýrfle, Gladys Crofts, Phyllis Montgomery. And the four "Miss Toronto" contest- ants whom D.I.L. is sending are: Hilda Burgin, Ruth Pratt, Eve- yh School Results Evans, Algerba, Physics; E. Gil- more, Physics; J.
