QUEEN CARNIVAL RESULT
ON Wednesday, May -14, when the curtain was rung down on Wellington's Victory Queen Carnival, Station 2ZB was on the air at frequent intervals, giving progress reports as money flowed in to the central fund. In the twelve hours between mid-day and midnight £42,000 was paid to the
central treasurer, enabling the apparently impossible figure of £100,000 to be reached. Nearly all the Queen Committees had substantial funds in hand, and as more and more progress results were given over the air, it became apparent that there would be a close finish. A few minutes before the closing ‘time, the Public Services Queen, Joan Young, emerged the winner, just a few hundred pounds ahead of the Commerce Queen, Patricia Luckie. The final result was announced from 2ZB’s studio by J. AnnandSmith, Chairman of the Victory Queen Carnival Committee, and he was followed by T. C. A. Hislop, Mayor of Wellington, who introduced each of the Queens in turn, and J. Abel, Dominion orfaniser of the appeal, who was also chairman of the Commerce Queen Committee.
