Woman Returns Home
To Feed Dog, Turns On
Radio, Wins $20,000
By«th« Associated Press ,
1 NEW YORK, June 28—Because
she was conscientious about get
ting home to feed her dog, a 42
year-old grandmother was there to
receive a radio jackpot telephone
call which made her $20,000 richer.
Mrs. Mary Farber won that much
in prizes last night for correctly
naming the title of the “mystery
melody” on the ABC network’s
“Stop the Music” program.
The title was “Get Out of the
Wilderness,” an 1860 song later
corrupted into several other melo
dies.
Among the prizes are a $1,000
United States savings bond, a 38
day cruise to South America, a
$1,000 fur coat, an automobile and
a $1,000 diamond ring.
Plan to Build Home.
Mrs. Farber and her husband, a
taxicab driver, plan to sell some of
the prizes to build a home and
gasoline station in West Palm
Beach, Fla.—something they have
wanted for a long time. People
started telephoning trying to rent
their three-room apartment even
before they announced plans to
move.
Mrs. Farber said the only reason
she was home when the telephone
call from the radio program’s Bert
, Parks came was that it was feeding
' time for her pet Boston terrier
Puggy. She had the radio turned on.
She had spent yesterday visiting
relatives.in Englewood, N. J., with
her husband Milton, 44, and cut
the visit short to meet the dog’s
feeding time.
uvu nut a i uui iMutuvn
Mrs. Farber said she learned the
title of the song from her brother,
Mack Lazarus, of Stamford, Conn.,
who got it from a musician friend.
Her brother was w'ith her when the
call came.
A practical joker, claiming to
represent a radio station, telephoned
that the whole thing was a mistake.
There was momentary gloom until
the big win was verified.
The “mystery melody” was intro
duced into the radio program eight
weeks ago, and Mrs. Farber was the
100th person to get a chance at
naming it.
The Internal Revenue Bureau esti
mates the tax on the jackpot at ap
proximately $7,000.

After Hoaxing Boys in Home
Howard Weinberg, 9 years old (left), and Roger Camras,
his 8-year-old playmate, told yesterday of the fun they had
playing hide and seek with a stranger in the Weinberg home.
The stranger said he would hide $10 bills for the boys to find.
The $10 shown here under a jewel box was the only one found,
but $17,500 worth of jewelry was missing. So was the man.

By th« Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD, June 28.—Two
youngsters counted $10 profit today
from a game of hide-and-seek with
a stranger but the parents of one
of the lads figured their loss at
$17,500 worth of jewelry.
Howard Weinberg, 9, and his play
mate, Roger Camras, 8, were alone
in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben
J. Weinberg Saturday afternoon
when a man came to the door and
announced himself as “Mr. Rob
bins,” a friend of Howard's father.
Then, police related, the man
asked the boys if they could use
$10 apiece. The lads said sure.
"Okay,” said the stranger, “we’ll
play hide and seek. I'll hide the
$10 bills and if you kids can find
them you can keep them. Now go
into the bathroom and close your
eyes.”
The boys did and on the signal
from the stranger they began the
search. While they were looking
“Mr. Robbins” departed.
’Later, Howard’s parents returned.
Mrs. Weinberg reported a $10,000
platinum and diamond bracelet and
a $7,500 diamond ring missing from
a jewel box.
But under the box was a $10 bill.
