In the “Princess of the Pacific” contest, conducted by Associated News papers Ltd., on behalf of metropolitan hospitals, Miss Jean Hatton, now Mrs. L. Hibbard, the well-known Bexley singer, proved to be the winner.
She represented the Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, and topped the poll with 323,611 penny votes, representing £1,369/4/3.
Many other surf clubs were represented in the competition.
The first prize for the winning club was £100, and for the “princess” £50.
Miss Hatton first became popular by winning many local eisteddfod prizes and later became a well-known radio, stage, and film singer.
About a month ago she married Mr. Laurence Hibbard, and now lives at Balgowlah.
The second place was secured by Miss Nancy Blackmore (North Narrabeen ).
Mrs. Jean Sebire, representing the North Cronulla Surf Club and the St. George District Hospital, was third, polling 97,631 votes, valued at £406/15/11.

How very sad for a man to have given service to the community with the Police and then the nation with the Airforce to have passed so young. Lest we forget!
