nR. LOUIS MITCHELL, who
~ is q Navy doctor with the
rank of lieutenant commander,
is the truly lucky person. He
just won f100 on the Sweep.
stakes, and thereby hangs an
amusing story. 1t just hap
pened that a well known Navy
matron had book Of Sweep
stakes tickets, which she wished
to dispose of and-did.
Naturally she could have
taken her pick Of the tickets,
but didn't, and after she had
sold DR.. Mitchell one, she her
self, took the one and only re-
naming sweep ticket. Well.
when DR.. Mitchell called the
Navy matron to tell her Of his
good fortune, she .1roceeded to
strangle on the phone, throw
out q few good, old AngloSaxon
cuss words, and forbid the doc
tor to her house forever. Right
now, she is laughing over this
incident and has forgiven the
Doctor and his luck, long
enough to have him for dinner
next week.
