And about the only thing that
wasn't sold was a tiny cocker
spaniel offered by Eldred Hick-
man. The highest bid was only
a little over Sis.
Hickman said the puppy was
worth much more than that, and
would not consider letting it be
sold for less than S25.

the sale of the pup goes to the
March of Dimes, but just the

dog, and l know it is worth ev-

money from the sale goes into
