MISS N.Z. QUEST

Any organisation can nominate a girl in the “Miss New Zealand Quest” it is not confirmed only to the Air Force Association, as some people seemed to think. This point was made by Mr A. J. M. Manson, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Quest. He said that the fact that the first three candidates nominated were being sponsored by the various branches of the Air Force Association had apparently given rise to the misapprehension that girls could get nomination only through the Association branches. “This, of course, is not so,” said Mr Manson. “As in the previous quest, nominations can be made by all sorts of organisations —social, sporting, women’s, business or professional —in fact, by any organised group of citizens. Or, there is nothing to prevent a girl making her own nomination and finding her own entry fee.”
