Two Mere Days to Pile Up Winning Score

PARADE FRIDAY MORNING

.-Only two more days remain before the contestants will receive their just Rewards. Make these two days count —l-there are dozens of contestants separated by only a few votes. By making a final drive some contestants are going to forge ahead sufficiently to give them choice of prizes over their fellow contestants, who are not so aggressive. Don’t figure that the race is over—it is just in its most Important stage and these last two days will de termine the final position of numerous contestants. You may regret having lost that beautiful radio-gramophone by a few thousand votes. Step out and seeure those iast-minute subscriptions now. so that you can claim the prize of your choice on Saturday evening. LAST PARADE FRIDAY MORNING Tomorrow morning at 11.30 there will bo a final parade of the five beautiful motor-cars which The Sun will give away to the winning contestants at the Civic Theatre on Satur day evening. Any contestant who would like to ride in any one of those cars is invited to be at The Sun Office at 11.30 a.m. tomorrow morning. The cars will be attractively decorated and will proceed from The Sun building, making their way in and out of the main business streets of the City. BALLOTS STILL OUT Still some few contestants have not sent in their reserve ballots for checking. These reserve ballots absolutely

must be in the ballot box by 4 p.m. Saturday. Before they are placed in the ballot box—every contestant fhofild have a final check of his or her account. Don’t wait until the last minute —come in tomorrow and see that all of your ballots are correct and in the box. This is the final warning, as no rechecks of ballots can be made Saturday. No cheques for more than £5 can be accepted. Contestants are instructed to have all personal cheques certified or cashed before presenting them in payment for subscriptions. This rule is final and no exceptions can be made. COUNT AT CIVIC THEATRE

In order that contestants may . not be disappointed in securing seats for Saturday evening, it is suggested that' they make immediate bookings, as there will be a full house. Some few contestants have misunderstood the last published count. This was by no means the final count —it was simply the last published count. The final count, which will be made by judges selected by the contestants, will include every ballot published in the paper and all reserve ballots. It will cover every ballot issued, and every 60-vote coupon which was published in the paper early in the campaign. Not one vote will be overlooked and every contestant is assured of a fair and impartial count. A Dalton adding machine has been kindly loaned by Messrs Armstrong and Springhall, Ltd. for the occasion, thus ensuring accuracy in the count.
