    Notes 
    • Worker Is Calm Over Lottery Win
      "It doesn't excite me too much, William J. Winebrenner of the Slabtown area of Mt. Savage indicates when he refers to his purchase of a ticket worth 50,000 in the June 2 Maryland State Lottery drawing. "It will make my pension easier though, since I plan to retire when I'm 65 in August," Mr. Winebrenner added. The parents of nine children, Bill and his wife, Eleanor, are lifelong residents of Mt. Savage, where Mr. Winebrenner has been employed at the brickyard in various capacities for 51 years. Mr. Winebrenner's good news concerning his winnings was only slightly offset, by the necessity for surgery which was performed in a local hospital last Thursday. He came home Tuesday and is recuperating well. Of the Winebrenner's nine children, six are married, three are single with one of the latter a sophomore at Mt. Savage High School. No one has as yet officially notified Mr. Winebrenner that his ticket was a winner, he says. He purchased the ducat at a local Safeway market. "1 have won $25 and a couple $5 tickets were winners, the 64-year-old man says, "but this is the first big one." Mr. Winebrenner says he "has no place to go," in response to a question regarding plans. "I have never had a car because I couldn't afford one," he added. At one lime he enjoyed fishing and hunting but has given up those pleasures for two reasons: decline in game and a decrease in activity necessitated by advancing years. Mr. Winebrenner has been purchasing four 50-cent tickets and two $l tickets weekly.
