EXCITING FOR LEBANON WOMAN, BUT
' Winning Big Radio Prize
Isn't Always Pure Fun
By JACK QLIGG
Los Angeles Pi Ever wonder what happen to people who
win those fantastic assortments of prizes put up by radio shows?
Does hitting the Jackpot put them on easy street? And how
do they pay their income ux?
t-ft's look in on a couple oi
them and see if winning a pot
of gold is as mucn lun as
minds. '
Mrs. Marie Spangler, 25-year-old
wife of a Glendale, Calif
engineer, cleaned up $26,000 on
the 'hit-the-lackpot" program
only a few weeks ago. Her
nrnhlems such as what to do
with a $3,000 gold-plated lawn
mower are Just beginning.
The other winner qualifies as
vteran. The "people are lun
ny" show handed her $20,000
worth of prizes more than a
year ago. Her life is Just now
settling back to normal. She
is Mrs. Ward George, 33, of
Chatsworth, Calif., and if they
ever meet, she could probably
nana on some good advice to
Mn SDaneler. .
Mrs. Spangler is still In the
' excited stage. But although she
has yet to receive her new se
dan, diamond - crusted wrist
watch and $1,000 worth of danc
intf lHinni ah fa already mull
ing ways to get out from under
the deluge.
She's worried, too, about In
come tax. The bureau of in
ternal revenue told her, she
says, that It will be at least 20
per cent of her innings.
Mrs. Spangler hit her
Jackpot via telephone. But
Mrs. George got the full
j Bollywood treatment. She
was flown to filmland from
her Lebanon, Ore., home
and quartered in a plushy
hotel. "
On her 1 night she answered
On her big night she answer
ed the $20,000 question to the
pop of flashblubs and the click
of press agents' typewriters.
Hers was what the program
glowingly termed " a complete
new future." I
It was to include: A three
bedroom home, $4,600 worth of
furnishings, double garage, a
2,000 lot of her choice in Los
Angles, a new car and her pick
of a job in any of a score of
Southern California industries.
In Lebanon Mrs. George had
lived with her husband in what
she described as a 16 by 20-foot
shack built of lumber rejected
by a nearby mill. They were
$600 in debt on the $850 pur
chase price.
Her husband suffered from
malaria and a nervous condi
i tion contracted overseas and was
T listed at 100 per cent disabled,
she said. Though they had long
wanted to come to California
for his health, they had been
unable to afford it.
Mrs. George got her house, a
production line Job in a large
tract in the San Fernando val
ley. But she didn't have it
long. She learned that gifts,
even the radio variety, are class
ed as earned income and are
taxable.
Uncle Sam's share was $6,800,
says she. And she had to ped
dle her home and furnishings to
raise the cash.
"Most people look on our hav
ing to sell the house as a stark
tragedy," says Mrs. George.
"However, we do not consider
this the case. There are a great
many factors besides the dollar
sign."
It is these other factors, she
says, that make her a content
ed contest winner despite the
loss of her major prize. They
are:
1. They salvaged enough to
make a down payment on a
smaller home which they can
more easily afford.
1. A winter of sunshine has
improved her husband's health.
Mrs. George says his disability
was recently reduced 60 per
cent.
3. They still have the car and
have rolled up 20,000 miles on
vacation jaunts.
Although both were offered
Jobs as part of the prize, neither
accepted. Mr. G., who wants to
be an ornamental hortlcultur-
alist, takes courses at an agri
cultural college. Mrs. G. keeps
busy making a home for him.
Would she enter another con
test? "Why should I be a glutton?
I like to see other people get
the break I got. And besides
I think I'll let somebody else
pay the taxes this year."
Take over, Mrs. Spangler.
"Unripe gold," Indians of the
Andes .highlands scornfully
called platinum in the days of
the Spanish Conquistadores.
They threw the supposedly in-
feriod metal back into the
streams to ripen, says the Na
tional Geographic Society.
