Luck of the draw merits new car for SD woman
Be Kind to Animals Week turned out more like Be Kind to Carmen Abello of 7570 SW 82nd St. Miss Abello was the lucky winner of a 1976 Ford Granada in a drawing held by the Humane Society. Topping her luck of the draw was the fact that this year's push for better treatment for animals resulted in more homes being found for pets than in any previous campaign.
