Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Riding a winning streak; Bessie Jacobs gets some advice from her husband; Bob; as she lines up a billiard shot in the home they completely refurnished with the winnings they got from a lucky Irish Sweepstakes ticket just over two years ago. It brought them $486;000; but they haven't acquired any snooty airs.
