Photograph caption dated September 30, 1958 reads, "Duties of Fiesta Queen Joyce Blackstone never end as shown when she gave a boost to the wooden nickel program being sponsored by Valley Federal Savings and Loan whereby motorists who shop in San Fernando receive wooden nickels in exchange for their patronage, and the nickels may later be exchanged for $1 for every 20 handed out by retail merchants. Joyce gets moral support from, left, Frank Modugno, president of the chamber; George Hanawalt, membership chairman, and James Wilson, manager of the savings and loan bank."
