MAN WINS 'UGLIEST DALMATIAN' TITLE IN SLOVENIA

LJUBLJANA, 26 Feb (Hina) - A 40-yrs-old Split resident won his second "Ugliest Dalmatian" title in Ljubljana Monday. Slovenia's main broadsheet daily of Delo ran a picture of Josko Karanusic in its column called "The World is the People", after a panel composed of solely the representatives of the fair sex, had again chosen him for the title. Josko has beaten many competitors and won the title of "the ugliest man in Dalmatia" primarily thanks to his crooked and many times broken nose. Not containing his joy, the winner recieved the prize -- a 2,000 German marks worth set of pots, even though he stated that he won't be needing them yet. "What's the use of the pots when I haven't found myself a wife yet to cook for me", the 'Mister Ugliness' said. (Hina) jn ns 261331 MET feb 96
