being outstanding -and one which
will be highly profitable to the
club members whose stock will

dell, Hubbard, one of the best
known of the valley stock auc

DOWN TO LAST TWO CENTS
Veteran's Love for New York
Brings Him Cash Instead of Jail
New York. Aug. 23 (U.PJ A 25-year-old veteran from Kirk-
land, Wash., has begun job hunting in the city of his dreams with
$16 in his pocket from well-wishers in Qjueens leiony court.
Jack W. Davies was arrested Sunday for sleeping in an apart
ment house hallway and arraigned on a vagrancy charge. He
told Magistrate David McKean
that it was his first day in isew
York and he was down to his
last two cents.
Davies said he fell in love
with the city when he passed
through en route to Europe as
a soldier in 1943 and vowed he
would make his home here.
When the war was over, he re
turned to his home in Kirkland
and went into the roofing busi
ness to save money for the trip
east.
The veteran said he began
hitchhiking in June, but the
$185 he had saved and his lug
gage were stolen in Minneapo
lis. He worked at odd jobs until
he could continue his trip and
arrived here Saturday. He said
he spent the money he had left
on a hotdog and fell asleep in an
apartment foyer.
The judge found him not
guilty and gave him $2. The de
tective who arrested him, Leo
S. Troffolino, and sympathetic
spectators also contributed for
a total of $16.
