Make it With Wool Contest Entries Urged
Mrs. Victor Karren of the Ashley Wool Growers Association urged girls to enter the 1949 Make It Yourself With Wool Contest. Utah plans a Salt Lake City event on November 30 with a national contest soon after, and Uintah County will hold its qualifying event in early November. Any girl may enter if she makes her own garments, regardless of home economics class enrollment.
