Youngster Wind Gold Medal for Refusing to Sell Liquor
NEW YORK. March 25 - Satisfaction of the existence of a non-bootlegging bellboy was the feature of a medal bestowing ceremony at the Hotel Prince George today.
The young dry hero was Russell Woods. He stood at attention while A. M. Gutterson, manager of the hotel, pinned a gold medal on his breast.
Documentary evidence that Woods earned his medal exists in the form of a letter from a thirsty guest who wrote that he admired the boy's principle, though angry with him because he would not get him a pint.
