LUCKY BAKER

£12,000 IN TATTS

“STILL FEELS DIZZY.”

[Per Press Association. — Copyright .] WELLINGTON, This Day.

“I still feel a bit dizzy about it,” said Mr. P. S. Taylor, of Lower Hutt, when interviewed yesterday after he received word that he had won the first prizd of £12,000 net in a Tattersail’s consultation. The prize-winning ticket was entered under .the nom-de-plume of “Three of Us” syndicate, but actually, said Mr Taylor, he was the only person concerned. Mr Taylor is a well-known baker and pastrycook in business at Lower Hutt, and a reporter found him busy making sponge cake in his bakehouse. “We have still got to bake, £12,000 or no £12,000,” he said. “It is a wonderful Christmas box, and it will come in useful in these difficult times.

“I felt pretty good when I received the news, I can tell you. No, I don’t know what I will do with the money. I have not had time to think about it yet. I think I will still remain in business, even if it is only to give myself something to do. It is a bad thing for a man to let himself deteriorate. I have been a hard-working man all my life, and I -would feel lost without something to do.”
