Hundreds of area residents, students, and faculty members at tended. 1-1 undreds Chat, Bid At Annual Auction A flashback to the "good old days" took place Saturday as State College area residents, students, and faculty members participated in the University's annual auction to rid the University warehouse of used equipment. Beautiful spring weather brought hundreds of youngsters and grownups out to an old-fashioned auction to converse with their neighbors and to leave with their'' cars stacked high with bargains. , Everyone Didn't Buy However, not all came to buy. Many just sat and talked with friends. Topics of conversation ranged from national politics to "my daughter-in-law had an eight-pound baby boy last week." Auctioneer Harold Leightley put hundreds of items on the block. They ranged from carpets from Prexy's house to used auto mobiles and from a complete soda fountain from the Temporary Union Building to an Internation al little genius. Business-like Leightley had lit tle trouble in getting the bargain hunters to bid, except when he offered a huge wooden box for sale. What the University had used the container for, no one seemed to know. After showing the box, Leightley received no bids. "What's it good for," some one yelled from the audience. Leightley avoided the question and proceeded to try to sell it. Bids Go Wrong Way "A dollar?" he asked. But he still got no answer. "Seventy-five cents," he then said. Still no bid. "Fifty cents," he yelled. He was still talking to himself. "Who'll give me twenty-five cents—use it for kindling," he pleaded in a do or-die attempt. He sold the box. Prices received for items ranged from ten cents to hundreds of dollars. A 1949-model Ford sta tion wagon went for $490, while an exact duplicate in less good condition brought $135. As the shadows lengthened, the audience of buyers grew smaller and contented people could be seen leaving with many bargains that will probably find a place in their attics IrADVENTURE TRAVEL to every corner of the globe ...
