He first had planned to work as a stock clerk in a Lubbock auto supply store through the summer. He plans to enroll at the University of Florida. John walked into a Lubbock employment office Friday looking for a job. A clerk recognized him from a newspaper photograph. He was overjoyed when told he had won a scholarship. John and his mother finally got together over the telephone and she sent him money. He said he leaves for home today. John said be had “just been bumming around” since he left home. He was carrying his clothing in a paper sack. The university had been his last hope before he left home. He had gone to see school officials there about working his way through school, but they turned him down. He saved $5 earned from delivering newspapers and working at a gasoline station. He then left home to look for work.
