We use the word “even- tually” because through an error at the local post office the letter containing the hundred dollar cheque came into the hands of John Car- ter of “The Liberal” editor- ial staff and last Saturday morning John had the pleas- ure of delivering the cheque in person to the “other” Carter residence. py to see both John Carter and the prize money, and when asked by “The Liberal" how she came up with the time, “within four minutes and 30 seconds of the time radio announcer Dave John- son fell asleep", Mrs. Carter said it was just a hunch that paid off. Her hurband had told her her guess was way out of line and th t no one could stay awake 7 hours, 47 minutes and 10 seconds â€" and do a radio broadcast besides. But she sent in her wild guess of 67 hours. 42 minutes and 20 seconds any- how, thus winning her $100 prize. Highland Park .LANGSTAFF Correspondent: Mrs. A. A.
