HOW TO SPEND MILLION PRIZE
TOPIC OF BABY DERBYISTS

our own. Anu-Oh Sufe-l Will
give lots Of 1t to the other fam
lilies. A million dollars Pooh!
That is plenty for everybody l
think"
Secretly Gus thinks that 1t
would be nice to send to Los
Angeles, Cal, and bring on a
couple OF children he had by a
former wife. who died, to live with
him and his present family.
Mrs. Graziana has nothing
much to say. She just mods In
assent to Gus's day-dreaming.
Plans Of DarrigO
Steffano Darrigo, the fruiterer,
seems deeply confident Of deriv'
ing wealth when the "Stork
Derby" has run its course. He is
planning seriously on opening up
a chain of fruit stores. Because
even with a million dollars he
would still want to keep on work
ing. To stop working would not
be a good example for the chill
dren.
AS for sharing-the-wealth, Papa
Darrigo doesn't have an awful lot
to say, except like Gus:
Pooh! A million dollars.
That's a lot Of mOney-enOugh
for everybody. Nobody have to
worry any more"
Mrs. Timleck has a far.away
look in her eyes when the question
is put to her. She smiles, then
shakes her head as though trying
to get rid of some optical illusions.
She says:
"Well, Of course, a lot Of It
would go right off for clothes
and things. But the really most
important thing would be to get
a lovely home in the suburbs In
which to live. A lovely, large
home with nice grounds around
it-near the schools for the
children.
Eyes, / would certainly share
all that money with some Of the
other families. It's no more
than fair"
The Timlecks feel that they have
a pretty good chance of getting in
on the sweepstakes prize unless
something unusual happens.
And as for the Harrisons-
Madeleine and Ambrose-they do
an awful lot of laughing and jok-
ing about it. But deep down one
can see they are really somewhat
concerned. For they are awfully
proud of that brood of handsome
blond children-two sets of twins.
An education and a lovely home for
those kiddies to live in would mean
everything in the eyes OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Harrison.
Willing to Share 1t
And if they were the winners
why, of course, they would share
it with everybody else!
John and Kathleen Nagle are
the shyest and most retiring of all
the "Stork Derby" contestants.
They don't have an awful lot to
say at any time. But when con-
fronted with the problem of what
to do with million dollars, should
they get it, both Mr.. and Mrs.
Nagle laugh and looked as pleased
as pudding. Mrs. Nagle says:
'You see we were both born
and reared on farms, and John
always has wanted to go in
for farming. i think we would
look around for the incest
farm we could buy and just
move out Of the old city for
ever. 1t would be wonderful
for the children, too. especially
If they didn't have to work as
hard as John and I did when
we were young"
The Nagles think it would be
nice to share the wealth with
most Of the other Maternity
Marathon families.
Guardian Predicted
Meanwhile, behind the scenes,
the British government, keeping
a benevolent eye on things, is not
missing a trick. There are those
who predict that when the Millar
estate is finally settled and the
"Stork Derby" winners selected,
the government will see to it
that a guardian is appointed-in
some cases at least-just as a pre-
caution.
Because a million dollars is an
awful lot of money to be in.
herited by a family that has
never seen more than $1,000 all
at once in their laves. let clone
having that much them selves.
Charles Vance Millar may have
had a lot of fun of devising his
last will and testament, but there
are those, on the other hand. who
express the opinion that maybe he
would have done better if he had
left that million-dollar estate to
some worldwide charitable or
ganization which Specializes in
caring for large families.
