New York Poet Wins Prize With Ode To A Cow
George Roth, 58, of Yonkers, won 500 cash instead of a 1400 pound white black cow awarded by Ice Cream Co. after supplying final line for Ode to a Cow. The prize delivery sparked amusement among Roth and his landlady on Manhattan’s West Seventh Street. Mayor Lindsay led Operation Main Street events along Madison Avenue with stage, fashion show, music and a folk singer as crowds gathered.
