Healthiest
Clista Millspaugh, a chunky (127 lb.), (5 ft. 5 i in.) youngster (17 yr.) who lives on a farm at Mount Pleasant. Iowa, was in Chicago last week to recite her little speech. Recited she: "I eat all kinds of food we have on the farm and I get lots of work, play and sleep. I love to milk cows, and pitch hay, and ride horses, and play baseball and basketball."
Pretty Clista Millspaugh first made that speech at Chicago's International Live Stock Exposition last December when she tied with Shirley Drew of Fayette, Mo. as the healthiest girl in the U. S. (TIME, Dec. 18).
Last week in a prize contest which the Century of Progress conducted Clista Millspaugh, heels down, head up and chest out, again won the title of healthiest U. S. girl, this time alone. Reward: $100 as a preliminary winner; $250 more for the finals. Shirley Drew came in second.
Miss Millspaugh's running mate as "healthiest U. S. boy" was Mortimer Foxman, 16, 5 ft. 7 1/4 in., 133 lb., who after high-school hours works in his mother's Chicago electrical shop.
