Arkansas Mothers of the Year May Skip National Conference
Arkansas state leaders report the Publicity and Price Commission will not fund the $500 travel costs for the Mother of the Year, Mrs. Ben A. Lincoli of Little Rock, who was slated to attend America Mothers Award Week in New York. State chairman Mrs. Tullio Wytick says the contest is limited in scope and not a true state contest, so funds are denied. Legislator Colay calls the move insulting and considers appealing to the Legislative Council after the 196b resolution to fund yearly support was rejected.
