Original Toronto Star caption: New entrant in Millar will race West Indian native. Claiming to have nine children born and registered in the 10-year period in the Millar will race, John William Carter, 50-year-old West Indian, father of the first negro family to enter the stork derby, is shown here with his wife and family. If he wins the $750,000, he says, he will divide it evenly among all the mothers who have had more than six children in Toronto in the past 10 years. 107-SB-065
