IRISH SWEEPSTAKES WINNER
GOOD-BYE TO WORK. [BY CABLE—PRESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.] LONDON, November 23. When Prescott, a member of the Civil Service at Belfast, who shared the first prize in the Dublin Hospital Sweep, reached ’his home town, he said: “I shall resign my job! I cannot go to the office and receive the bosses’ orders when I am a forty pound a week man. Besides, Ido not want to keep another man out of a job. I shall return to England. I have been in Ulster for twenty years. There are only my wife and my terrier to share my luck. We shall make a world tour.” Prescott landed with his hat pulled down and his coat collar pulled up. He ordered a couple of beers. He told the barman to keep the change out of 20/-. His wife met him at a friend’s house. They were afraid to go home, their house being besieged all day long. The workshop widow, another prize winner, says that she means, first to help some needy folk whom she knows.
