There were six contestants in the
annual event sponsored by the
Lancaster County Poultry
Association and chaired by Mr .a
and Mrs. Walter Mowrer,
Columbia.
Each contestant was required to
give a promotional talk before the
audience, and Darlene spoke in
rhyme, encouraging mothers to
look to poultry products when they
need menu ideas.
In part, the new Queen said:
‘Eggs, higher in protein than any
other food you can buy, contain
all vitamins except C so their
nutrition is very high. And for

those watching their weight
eating eggs is very wise. For
only 80 are in an egg of

Darlene said later that the idea
came to her one night about 11
o’clock. She wrote two verses that
night and the remaining ones came
to her the next day. She said the
hardest part in creating the
promotion was “getting started.”
Sara’s .promotion was extolling
the virtues of chicken hot dogs.
