Mrs America finalists begin in house dresses at Ormond Beach
Fifty contestants from all states plus District of Columbia and Canada enter the 16th Mrs. America contest in Ellinor Village. They will live in a modern gas-equipped home for four days to simulate the life of an average housewife while judges evaluate homemaking skills. The bathing suit segment weighs, but cooking, mending, cleaning, and daily chores count more. Notables include Mrs. Cassie Toresdahl of Montana, famed trout fisherman, and the youngest entrant, Mrs. Betty Jean Donaldson of Kansas, 22, whose Army husband is stationed in Korea.
