Fortune-Winner Still Saves On Smokes. Twice in a month the biggest-ever football pool prize has gone to Aberdeen. Four weeks go Edward Cross, a bus driver, was stopped on his Aberdeen bus-route and told that he had won ?61,456 in the penny points.

Despite his fortune, Mr. Melville is still keenly alive to the duty of saving. Celebrating at the Waldorf Hotel, London,
