Auctioneer’s Enthrallment Sparks Return Bid for Lost Suitcase
A Toronto auctioneer attracted buyers while an elderly resident seeks the return of a suitcase containing valuables not offered for sale. Mrs. Lillian McClure offers a reward for the missing personal belongings. Kansas campers raised 500 for a 13 year old Wichita boy’s electric wheelchair at a Labor Day convention, with 400 more donated at a national Canadian gathering. Larry’s new chair enables independent camp mobility. In a separate incident a factory safety record of 4,404 days ends after a fingertip injury, but no time was lost.
