Popularity Campaign

Contestants Making Final Effort

THREE MORE DAYS TO GO

"Have you voted'.”’ This is the question everyone is asking. Saturday The Sun's great popularity campaign will be at an end. The Campaign Department will be open all day Saturday until four p.m., when the polls will close and the campaign will be no more. Get that last subscription, get it in as early as possible—then go out and get more. The contestants are on their mettle now as this is their last opportunity to show themselves. Subscriptions mean votes and votes mean prizes. The last few minutes of the race are the ones that count. Just as in a horse race—the last spurt puts the winner past the winning goal! On Saturday some contestants are going to win big prizes and some are going to lose the capital awards and win smaller prizes. If you win the big prize, smile because you did just a little more than someone else; if you lose the big prize, smile also in the satisfaction that you did your best and were beaten In a fair race by a better contestant. All the world loves a winner and the world also loves the one who tries but does not win. But the man who said: "I would have—only ” is the poorest loser in the world. Exactly 145 con testants are making toward their goal; are you striving with them or are you lagging by the wayside? COUNT AT CIVIC THEATRE The count of votes will take place at the Civic Theatre during the performance on Saturday, August 2. A special programme has been arranged and the count will proceed during the show and the results announced from time to time. The prizes will be

awarded from the stage at the cJok of the picture. BALLOTS MUST BE SENT IN On numerous occasions the C**’ paign manager has requested the c©t slants to send in the ballots.
