Come to Town in Fancy Dress

(Photos: Peter Cooper Studio)
Mr and Mrs R. W. Wallace, of Beatson's Road, Nelson, were at home one afternoon last month when they heard over the radio that at 3 pm there was only one entrant in a fancy–dress contest being run by the Columbus Radio Centre, up to that time. The contest was to close one hour later. A hurried consultation, a quick change of dress, and the Wallaces headed for town. There they competed against 10 other groups and came out on tops. Their prize was the lovely radiogram displayed by the centre's manager, Mr Max Pamment (left). Radio 2XN broadcast their entire programme for the day from the store.
