Recipe for a successful picnic:
of sunshine and several thousand

in North. Burnaby (No. 14 ear
east to Boundary Road, where

buses will. be waiting) for the
season’s best progressive picnic.

High on the list of interesting
events is the contest for the Miss
B.C. Labor title, which ‘carries
with it a prize of a lovely cedar
chest.

Leading with the most votes at
Pacific Tribune press time was
Barbara Stewart (Miss North
Vancouver) followed closely by
Peggy Kennedy (Miss Burrard )
and Brenda Keely (Miss Shipyard
Worker). Past experience shows,
however, that the winner is never
determined until late in the after-
noon of the actual day of the
picnic,
