prises put up by radio shtwst
Does hitting Uie Jackpot put them

wife of a Olendale. Clif.. enmneer.
cleaned up 26.000 on the "Hit the

they ever meet. she could probably

Bpangler.
Seeklnr Ways
Mrs. Spancler is tiU in the ex
cited stage. But although she has
yet to receive her new sedan, diamond-crusted
wrist watch and $1000
worth of dancin lessons, she is
already mulling wars to get out
from under the deluge.
She's worried, too. about income
tax. The bureau of Internal revenue
told her. she says, that it will be
at least 90 per cent of her winnings.
Mrs. Spangler bit her Jackpot via
telephone. But Mrs. Oeorge got the
full Hollywood treatment. She was
flown to filmland from her Lebanon,
Ore, home and quartered In
plushy hotel. On her big night she
answered the $20 000 question to
the pop of flashbulbs and the click
of press agents' typewriters.
Hers was what the program glow,
lngly termed "a complete new fu
ture." It was to Include: A three-bedroom
home. $i600 worth of furnish
ings, double, a $2000 lot ol her
choice in Los Angeles. new car
and her pick of a Job in any of a
score of Southern California in
dustries. In Lebanon Mrs. Oeorge had
lived with her husband in what she
described as a 16 by 30-foot shack
built of lumber rejected by a nearby
mill. They were $600 in debt on
the $850 purchase price.
Her husband suffered from ma
laria and a nervous condition con
tracted overseas and was listed as
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. Oeorge got her house, a
production line Job in a large tract
in the San Fernando valley. But
she didnt have it long. She learned
that gifts, even the radio variety.
are classed at earned Income and
art taxable.
Howe reddled
Uncle Bum's share was 6S8O0. says
she. And she had to peddle her
home and furnishings to raise the
ca-sh.
Most people look on our having
to tell the house as a stark tragedy."
say Mrs. Oeorge. "However, we do
not consider this the case. There
are a great many factors besides
the dollar sign."
It is these olher factors, she says,
that make her a contented contest
w inner despite the loss of her major
prise. They are:
1. They salvaged enough to make
a down payment on a smaller home
which they can more easily afford.
1. A w inter of sunshine has Im
proved her husbands health. Mrs.
Oeorge says his disability was re
cently reduced to 60 per cent.
3. They still have the car and
have rolled up 30.000 miles on va
cation Jaunts.
Although both were offered Jobs
at part of the prise, neither ac
cepted. Mr. O., who wanla to be
an ornamental horticulturist, tnkea
courses at an agricultural colXne.
Mrs. O. keeps busy making a home
tor him.
Would she enter another contest?
"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, Mis. Spangler.
