The Washington times., 1937-03-09

The Times in pictures of Govern
ment workers, yesterday pointed
cut Grace B. Smoot, Mrs. L. R.
Van SAINT, Walter S. Helm and Har-
old P. BrookSmith, of Farm Credit
administration, for tickets to the
opening American League game
here April 10.
Two other Federal agencies like
wise saw Fate shine upon en-
ployes on their rolls, Helen Con-
rath, of Agricultural Adjustment,
and Eugene r. Kenney, of Treas
ury Departments Loans and Cur
rency Division, receiving the prize
stubs after proving they were the
people whose pictures had ap-
peared. Expressions of pleasure
were unanimous.
Miss Smoot and Mrs. Van SAINT,
both native Washingtonians, were
particularly benefited by the fact
that they are chums when away
from work. Consequently, they re-
quested that they be given seats
together when Clark Gritfith'S
Mats play host to the Philadelphia
Athletics, and the adjoining tick
cts were granted them.
On the other hand, Mr.. Brock
smith said he wants to take a
friend with him to the opener and
plans to turn his ticket in at the
ball park on pair Of adjoining
seats, paying for the second stub
From indications, quite number
of folk favored by the Lucky
Rings" will do this.
Several employees, apparently
winners, have called to ask if they
must collect their prize tickets the
same day that their picture ap'
pears in The Times. The answer
is no, but winners should collect
their tickets as early as possible
