The locked box-stall in the Barn
that holds articles accumulated by
the Antique [Committee for the
Tenth Annual Library Auction, is
well stocked this year with chairs
for small children. There are
already two nice sturdy high chairs,
both the pull-up model that per-
mits a child to sit at the table with
adults and learn how to manage a
place setting. One of these is an
ox-bow chair with plank bottom.
There is a little splint rocker,
very low and broad of beam, diffi-
cult to tip over, which will be re-
splinted by July 6. And two little
bent wood chairs with arms, one
already caned, the second ready to
e seated. These items will all be
'spic and span with fresh paint by
Auction time. Mrs. Dwight Fisher
expects to decorate one of the high
chairs. The high chair she decor-
ated last year proved a good at-
traction, and brought brisk bidding
on the auction block.
In a safe spot is a crib 100 years
old, given by Mrs. William Vivian,
Dallas. The folding type with no
necessity for nuts and bolts, only
eight inches thick when folded flat,
the crib is long enough for a six
year old child, just the ticket for
a couple who expect grandchildren
for the summer. It needs a coat
of paint.
Fiesta Women
Speed Up Work
Ham Dinner To Be
Served On Two Nights
The Women’s committee for the
, 1956 Dallas Fiesta have been work-
weeks to assure the success of the
fiesta which will take place Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings, June
27 and 28 on the grounds sur-
rounding Gate of Heaven Church.
While the annual affair has been
successful in the past, there is every
indication that this year’s will be
the best ever. Stands used are all
being gaily repainted and many new
attractions will be added for young
and old alike. 5
The women of the church will
don colorful garments, prepared es-
pecially for the fiesta. A country
ham dinner will be served each eve-
ning and there will be a variety of
baked goods offered for sale.
The biggest attraction of the
fiesta will be the awarding of a new
Ford Ranch Wagon. In connection
with the automobile, there will be
ten other valuable gifts awarded.
Members of the women’s com-
mittee are Mesdames Leo Czajkow-
ski, Louis Vitale, Frank McGarry,
Ray McDonald, Thomas Makravitz,
John Elenecik, Victor Borzone, H.
R. Bagnal, Michael Campbell, John
Kupstas, James Regan, John Poa-
Jerome Gruver and Hugh
Last Of Forest
Giants Felled
Wilson Carries Out
Lumbering Operation
Ted Wilson is putting the finish-
ing touches to a lumbering-off pro-
ject that takes the last of the white
pine giants from the old John Wil-
son farm in East Dallas. This is
one of the last stands of old trees
in the area. Ted says he has taken
the big trees from twenty-five acres,
leaving lesser trees to grow to prof-
itable size, so that the hills are not
denuded as many Pennsylvania hills
were, during the days of the timber
\ boom.
Pennsylvania hills are once more
clothed in green, where once they
stood naked and eroded from reck-
less lumbering operations of a by-
gone day. Mr. Wilson and his son
Tex, in operating a sawmill on the
Demunds-Lake Catalpa road adjoin-
ing the Abram Nesbitt place, are
to be congratulated on carrying on
operations on a conservation basis,
a necessity for preserving the water
table and controlling run-off and
erosion.

Helen Gross is decorating a large
tray. This will be one of the items
which will be chanced off. Mrs.
Gross has studied extensively, turn-
ing out a completely professional
job of decorating. She finds her de-
signs for stencils by browsing
through the Early American Wing
of Metropolitan Museum in New
York. Each year she decorates a
piece for the Auction, in either
Early American or Pennsylvania
Dutch.
Marble topped chests have
zoomed into popularity. Ten years
ago they were a drug on the
market, but since folks have dis-
covered their delightful immunity
to spilled liquids, no antique dealer
can keep up with the demand. The
Antique Committee already has a
marble topped chest.
Mrs. Mitchell Jenkins and Mrs.
John Wilson, co-chairmen, report
that all forty-seven members of the
Antique ‘Committee are rounding up
the required. five good antiques
apiece, their yearly quota of dona-
tions to the Auction.
Glassware and breakables are be-
ing kept in their own homes until
time to assemble the collection two
days before the Auction, insuring
the usual dazzling display of colored
glass on the long table under the
cherry trees.
