Jackpot Lifts Burden: $600 C-P Prize Arrives in Time To Pay Hospital YOU USUALLY WIN SOMETHING when you don't need it, but not so with Mrs. Muriel Bobkowski. She won third prize—$600—in the Courier-Post Lucky Jackpot Puzzle Contest, and received it just as her husband returned from a hospital. Making payment here is Harold M. Snyder, Courier-Post circulation manager. By VICTOR KELLER The $600 third prize in The Courier-Post's Lucky Jackpot Contest was won by Mrs. Muriel Bobkowski, of 754 Sylvan st., Camden, at the world's luckiest moment. The day she learned some prize money was in store for her, she got her husband back from the hospital. Although the amount was a happy surprise, she said the whole $600 will go toward doctors' bills and hospital expenses. "It will put us back in health," she declared. Someone else will have his or her name in the paper Friday, when the second prize of $750 in the puzzle contest is announced. Fourth prize of $275 and fifth prize of $100 were disclosed Wednesday, following announcement of 56 winners of $5, $10 and $15 cash prizes. First Prize on Saturday And on Saturday, the name of the winner of $2500, plus another $1000 if the entrant is qualified to win prizes in both "A" and "B" classifications, will be disclosed. The Bobkowskis made the contest a family game and study, puzzling out the words together, several times consulting by telephone. Until he went to the hospital. Bobkowski, a furniture salesman at Hurley's for 10 years, suddenly developed a blood clot back of the right eye. He was taken to Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia for an operation. "When the doctors sent him home, they told him not to get excited," Mrs. Bobkowski said. "But this $600 is the most exciting thing that could happen to us!" Married Eight Years Since their marriage eight years ago after his War II Army service as a staff sergeant in the field artillery, they have had their share of medical costs. Three years ago she had an operation for a thyroid condition. So the prize money will be used for both of them. A battered, unabridged dictionary which was handed down in the family for generations, saw him through high school, helped Bobkowski help his wife win. As the contest got difficult during the last two weeks, he said, Mrs. Bobkowski worked at it like a job. Before his eye trouble, he said, he read The Courier-Post from front to back, even the want ads, because "it gives all the South Jersey and local news." "And Life Hereabouts," Mrs. Bobkowski added. Now he is not supposed to read, but when the paper comes he cheats a little with one eye. "I didn't know what a smart woman I married," said the assistant to the third prize winner. "Well," answered his wife, like a wife, "I had your help."

Gunman Gets $40 in Store On Broadway A gun-wielding bandit held up a Broadway shop shortly before 9 a.m. today and escaped with about $40 after binding and gagging a woman clerk. Mrs. Elsie Bobkowski, 754 Sylvan st., the clerk, told police she opened the Style Shop, 703 Broadway, a few minutes before 9 a.m. As she opened the door, she told police, a tall Negro, about 18, entered and asked for two nickels for a dime. As she went to the cash register, the bandit whipped out a "small, black gun" and said, "This is a holdup." Empties Cash Register Mrs. Bobkowski said the bandit emptied the cash register, which contained about $40. He asked for her handbag but she convinced him she did not have it with her. The bandit then forced Mrs. Bobkowski into a small room behind the store, bound her hands and feet with leather thongs which he had taken with him. He then gagged her with a woman's kerchief which he also had in his possession. Mrs. Bobkowski said the bandit then sat her down in a chair and fled. Unties Self After struggling with her bonds for about 15 minutes, she said, she managed to free herself and ran out into the street screaming. Daniel Finkel, owner of the New York Fur Factory, 701 Broadway, ran to Mrs. Bobkowski's aid and called police. Ptl. Frank Mignogna and Louis Quaranto responded to the call and searched the neighborhood in an effort to apprehend the gunman, but without success. Mrs. Bobkowski said the bandit wore a black suit, white shirt and white tie and was carrying books which gave him the appearance of a student.
