Show December 9, 1949 Friday Meet Mrs. Williams HILL TOP TIMES Page 3 CHRISTMAS TRIMMINGS rap Sowe People Have All the Luck - "I was so shaky I couldn't even talk!" were the words used by Edward Sandoval, winner of the car at the Christmas party last year, in describing his feelings on hearing that he held the lucky ticket. "When friends called me and told me I had won the car, I thought they were just trying to kid me. I had been so sure I wouldn't win anything with my little lone ticket that I hadn't even gone to the party. When they convinced me they weren't fooling, I didn't waste any time getting dressed and getting up to the field to claim my car!" "I only had one ticket. A friend of mine had put my name in on a drawing and I got that ticket for a dime " "It was a thrill of a lifetime," said Sandoval, who lives at 332 West 7th South, Salt Lake City, with his wife, L.illi, and son, Jimmy. "And it sure has been a help. I was paying on a new home and car at the same time, and winning that car really straightened things out," he concluded. Is Sandoval getting tickets for the Christmas party this year? He has five in his pocket that he's sure will do the You bet! trick. How did Sandoval get the five tickets? Oh he won them for a quarter? . . . How LUCKY can you get? m ! Let's get acquainted with some of the inhabitants of "Siberia" and "Lower Slobovia" that is, the peo nle who work in the lower ware houses at Hill AFB. Although the natives that inhabit these ware houses do not get up to the main buildings on the field very often, their customs and maners are simil ar to other Hillfielders. Take for instance, Mrs. Elberta Williams (above), who, in the words of her is "the sweetest little want to meet." Mrs. ever you'd lady Williams works in warehouse 7A, publications, supply, and helps with the initial distribution of publications. Formerly from Denver, Colorado, she has worked at the base since 1943 with the exception of a year she spent at home. Mrs. Williams is the wife of the late Bryce Williams who worked at the commissary for several years. She lives at E-- ll Navy Way, Washington Terrace. In addition to keeping her home spotless, Mrs. Williams' hobby is keeping scrap books on poetry, interesting people, gardening and such things. Her favorite scrapbook is one on Hill AFB which contains Major Hill Is Retired Charles D.
