Bible Expert Won't Let Jackpot
In TV Quiz Game Change Her Life
Harrisburg, Pa (UP) Win
or lose, Mrs. Catherine Krietzer
has no intention of letting the
largest jackpot in television his
tory change the even, pleasant
flow of her life.
The 54-year-old Camp Hill
grandmother laughed heartily
when asked whether she would
quit her job as a clerk-typist at
the Mechanicsburg Naval Sup
port depot should she try for
and win a $64,000 cash bon
anza on a nationwide television
show Tuesday night.
"The Navy was good enough
for me when I needed some
thing," she said. "If I should
. get something now, it will still
be good enough."
Even if she tries and loses,
she has no intention of learning
to drive the new Cadillac con
vertible which would be her con
solation prize.
"I have never driven and I'm
not going to start at my age,"
she said.
. Mrs. Kreitzer, who has six
sons and nine grandchildren, ar
rives in New York Tuesday she
will have her own cheering sec
tion, i
"There are at least 14 persons
planning to go up with me we
may have to take over Central
Park," she said. .But she smil
ingly declined to identify who
would accompany her on the
trip.
Decision Tuesday Night
With the same good humor
she said that she will not make
her decision on' whether she
will accept the $32,000 she has
already won or risk it on a
"double-or-new-car" basis until
she walks out on the stage Tues
day night.
She said she has been , read
ing the Bible regularly and will
depend on it for guidance in her
big decision.
"But then, I have always
turned to it for guidance," Mrs.
Kreitzer said. "And it has never
failed me."
"Of course, I read other re
ligious books," she continued.
"But the Bible is the book
the biggest influence in my life."
Mrs. Kreitzer appeared little
worried about the decision which
means a small fortune despite a
deluge of advice by mail,
telegram and phone.
"Yesterday there were 106
letters and the phone never stop
ped ringing." '
normal things by the national
publicity she has received.
The Poor Mailman
"The poor mailman is dragged
down,!' she said. "Such a bundle
as he has to deliver here every
day since I've been going to New
York. And the way that phone
rings."
For the most part, however,
she has kept her life on the
same even keel. For one thing

"Uncle Sam must get his
share that's only right," she
said.
And she has made no attempt
to do any. additional studying
or research on her specialty
the Scriptures.
"Where could you possibly
start cramming for something
like that," she said.
With one exception, Mrs.
Kreitzer was willing to answer
freely without hesitation. When
she was asked whether she
would have a Bible expert ac
company her if and when she en

They all look alike, don't they? Yet there's a world of difference
the way we figure at Mercy Flights. Those 360 circles represent 360
patients we've flown to either save their lives or spare them pain, and
120 of the circles represent pre-paid subscribers who were flown free
of charge. The others had to pay, if they were able. Actually, we wish
that all of the patients had been subscribers and flown free of charge.
That would mean that everyone in Jackson County was subscriber,
plus a few more out of the county. Both the patients and ourselves
would be better off financially.
Right now, whether you're a subscriber or not, you enjoy the com
fort of knowing that a Mercy Flights crew and at least one of our
two planes is standing by day or night to rush you or someone in
your family to specialized medical centers in the larger cities. As
subscriber, you pay-only $4.00 a year for your entire family, and for
get about the high costs of operating airplanes.- Otherwise, a 50c per
mile charge is made for non-subscribers. Which do you think would be
easier to pay?
Mercy Flights is a non-profit, public service organization which is
vital and necessary for the safety and health of everyone in the com
munity. It can exist only with your support as a subscriber. Ifs so
simple to join, so do it NOW. Send your name, address, number in
