Needed for the contest are poise, talent and a winning smile. Girls must be at least 18 years of age. The contest will be run according to Miss America rules. For entry, girls must send their name, address, background, a recent picture and proof of their age to Miss South Miami Contest, South Miami Jaycees, P. O. Box 15, South Miami. Winner of this contest will be the city's entrant in the Miss Florida contest to be held in June at Sarasota. The trip will be an all-expense paid venture.
