Mayor George A. Smock, 2nd, of Asbury Park, is shown crowning Frances L. Cloyd, the mother of three children, "Mrs. America." The beauty from San Diego, California, represented her state against stiff competition, and stopped the other contestants in cooking skill as well as personal appeal. She stands 5-feet, 6" tall, weighs 127-pounds, and is a blue-eyed blonde. Her measurements are a 36 1/2 bust, 26" waist and 36" hips.
