Only five coupons are necessary to enter The Jewish Daily Bulletin’s Seventh Biggest Jewish News of the Week Contest. The Bulletin did not appear Tuesday, December 25, because of the legal holiday. Coupon No. 3 appears today and entry blank No. 5 will appear Friday.
“To any young man at college $25 must seem like a gift from heaven and I am no exception,” Daniel Raylesburg, City College student, who won first prize in the Fourth Biggest Jewish News of the Week Contest, told a Jewish Daily Bulletin reporter.
“I can tell you that winning first prize was a grand and glorious feeling. It is, however, very difficult to state just what I am going to do with my money. I intend to spend it wisely, probably setting it aside and using it as my many and varied school expenses occur.
“I have been a casual reader of The Bulletin for the last two years,” he continued, “but it is only recently that I have begun to purchase it daily. I truly believe that your paper can be, and undoubtedly is already, of tremendous value to the Jewish community.
“Through The Bulletin we are made aware more sharply of the problems besetting Jewry and can keep in intimate contact with Jewish events the world over. All this tends to awaken that sorely-needed ‘Jewish consciousness’ and it is for this reason that I feel The Bulletin is serving a worth-while purpose.
“I hope to participate in many more of your contests and wish my luck holds up.”
YOUR CHANCE, TOO
Not only does $25 “seem like a gift from heaven” to a college student, but it is also greatly appreciated by readers of The Bulletin in the non-student division. Florence N. Burg was pleased. I. B. Padway, Milwaukee attorney, was very much surprised at winning. He immediately turned his $25 check over to a Talmud Torah. Samuel Adler was greatly elated.
Everybody has a chance to win. Everybody is eligible to enter this biggest news contest. Full rules and information on how to enter this current news competition appears elsewhere in The Bulletin today.
“What do I have to do to enter your Biggest News of the Week Contest?” asked a charming voice over the telephone yesterday. “I’ve been getting The Bulletin regularly. However, I’ve never bothered about your contest. Only the other day I read something in the paper and I felt that I had to express my own mind on that subject. Then I thought that I might write that letter and use it in the contest.”
Many people are feeling this way. Something is published in The Bulletin that gives them the urge to write and “tell it to the editor.” On second thought they are sending their letter to the contest editor. Not only will they be telling it to the man they want to express their thoughts to, but there is a chance of winning one of the contest prizes.
This contest, now in its seventh week, will run for at least three more weeks. We shall announce later whether the Biggest Jewish News of the Week competition will be continued indefinitely. You still have an opportunity of winning $25, $10, $5 or $2.50 prizes by submitting a 250-word letter to the Contest Editor on what you think is the most important news of the week.
Eighteen high school students in New York are sporting gold, silver and bronze medals they have won because of their excellent letters, to say nothing of the $88 in cash that has been awarded to them.
SEVENTH CONTEST ON
Eighteen college students have received a total of $240 that will enable them to further their education.
Eighteen men and women, general readers of The Bulletin, have also been awarded a total of $240 that was spent for various purposes, from a Talmud Torah endowment to a gadget on a typewriter that has earned the name of “Becky.”
You can be among the nine winners in the Seventh Biggest News Contest. Send your letter in before midnight Monday. December 31. Enclose your FIVE entry coupons and you are all set for a share in the seventh week’s cash awards totaling $100.
