(Continued from Page 2 A) A beautiful pai of blue satin vases given to the antiques com- mittee by Raymon Hedden were bid in by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Ray Turnér, who was aware of their beauty and value. Mary Frantz, co-chairman of the antiques committee, who man- ages one of the most delightful families and homes in the Back Mountain area, was appreciative of an old crotch mahogany chest of drawers that had lain hidden in the barn for the past three years. She bid it in for a song—while others sat on their hands. Among the half dozen. or more very ancient carved sofas, and love seats sold for little or nothing, was one mahogany piece more than 150 years old from the home of the late Samantha Mills, whose benefactions made the fine new Nanticoke Library, possible. Harrison Smith of the Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company, pur- chased the first framed set of six auction prints done by Gregory Beisel to go over the Auction Block for $50. The frames made from weathered wood from an old barn were done by Stefan Hellersperk. Later Mr. Smith purchased the original signed drawings from Mr. Beisel to go with the frames. : Among old timers back for the Auction were: Mrs. Paul War-* riner, Montrose; Dick LeGrand, Montrose; and his brother, Joe, Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. Ray Evans, Trenton; Dan and Iola Robin- hold and Judy, Camp Hill. i Strapping Ira Frantz, whose forebears helped carve out the Back Mountain wilderness, loves the Auction. Thinking the final sale would also be held in the afternoon, he came over early on Monday, lay down on the sofa puchased Saturday night by Mary Segara, and went to sleep until the night sale opened. Many who contribute to the antiques committee fall in love with the item given and buy it back at a higher price than they originally, “paid: It was thus with Mitch and Janet Jenkins, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Slaff and Myra. Myra bought back for $17 a fragile little piece of cranberry glass that had originally cost her $12.95 from Harry Fassett. Dr. Charles Perkins took time out of a busy day to deliver his “ham in person. Said he enjoyed giving to so worthy a cause. There was spirited bidding for a 25-pound turkey by those who know the quality of the birds grown by Harold Bertram of Chase. It was beautifully drawn and dressed by Harold. Marilyn Mumford, Westfield, N. J., teacher of English at Bucknell University and Pat Paden, Atlanta, Georgia, teacher of Greek at Bucknell, spent a delightful two days as guests of Ann Peterson. Just before leaving Lewisburg, Friday morning; they rushed in to the postoffice to mail a letter, bumping into a lady. They apologized and left. Later they met the same woman on the Auction grounds. Marilyn Bought a panel thistle compote that she had been seeking for five years. The girls also bought an antique chest of drawers. Dr. Gordon Guyler, and his brother who came on from Pittsburg, made a striking appearance at the Ox Roast. Blessed with fine phys- iques, neat iron grey hair and mustaches, and wearing Scotch plaid jackets they were as handsome a pair as will be found in any group. Dr/Guyler couldn’t resist coming back to the other night sessions of the Auction. i Tt was good to see Mrs. William Conyngham looking so well. Last year she was unable to attend the Auction, having been stricken at her home at Hillside during the height of the severe storm on Friday night and taken to the hospital in Kingston Town- ship Ambulance. = A loyal supporter of the Auction since its begin- ning, she was kept busy renewing old friendships. “There was no harder worker on any of the committees than Jack Conyngham who served his apprenticeship for two years on the grounds committee and this year with Frank Slaff had charge of promotion and ‘publicity. It was he who procured the Stegmaier Band and handled radio and television. Edward Eber got a bit excited before the microphone and forgot to mention whether the cute little dachshound which he and Mrs. Eber gave the Auction was male or female. The little boy who bought it didn’t give a hoot. A dog is to love and sex makes no difference. The Ebers come by their love of the Auction naturally, since Mrs. Eber is the daughter of Mrs. George Schallenberger. They bought the registered buck lamb given by Hillside Farm as a companion for the ewe at their daughter's place at Beaumont. They hope to use them as the foundation stock for a flock that will produce other lambs for the Auction. Chauncey Turner of Long Island with his two daughters and his aunt, Emily Trimmer, of Wilkes-Barre was on familiar ground at the Auction. It was his first return to Dallas in more than twenty years. Chauncey played with his sisters and other neighborhood kids in the barn when he was a boy and his parents the late, Atty. Arthur and Mrs. Turner, lived in thel home the Risleys now own. Eugene Goldstein of Golden Quality Ice Cream bid in the giant yew, one of two given to the Auction by John Blackman who grows them in quantity at Idetown. Mr. Goldstein graciously contributed it to Dallas Méthodist congregation for foundation planting on the church grounds. : : Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Rafferty drove up from Daytona Beach, Florida, especially for the Auction. Mrs. Rafferty, sister of Mrs. Henry Peterson has been a frequent contributor. Thid was her fifth Auction. * Montrose Sesquicentennial, Free Methodist Camp Meeting, and the opening sessions of the Democratic Convention had no effect on the size of Auction crowds. The wee baby lamb with its tail still undocked stole the show in the livestock division. The lady who bought it also bought for its companion the lamb auctioned by Alice Thomas. She will need some expert advise on tail docking which she can get from Harry Goeringer who gave the lamb from his flock. Many thought Alice Thomas was the best auctioneer on the grounds, rivalled only by Louise Marks, Dallas Post advertising man- ager, who sold women’s wear. The colorful sports coat contributed by Ann’s Apparel of Luzerne went to Mrs. Lee Tracy whose com panion at the sale was Mrs: Patricia Reed of Stamford, Conn. A true collector’s item was the 100-year old glass paper weight depicting the death of General Reynolds at Gettysburg. It. went to Arch Brooks, a Civil War buff, for $17. Two similar ones; badly damaged, brought considerably more than that at a new York State sale where a collector offered $100 for one in perfect condition. The historic little paperweight was picked up by Helen Heffernan in a New England antique shop for less than $5. 4 While Dorothy Hedden was supervising the antiques table she met a former Wilson College classmate that she had not seen for twenty-seven years. She was Harriett Davenport Guernsey, now a widow, who with her children is spending the summer at Wyoming Camp Ground. Mrs. Guernsey teaches in Maryland. She came to all Auction sessions and at the final one said regretfully: “I don’t know what we'll do for the rest of the summer without the Auction.” Six brand new steam irons given by U. G. I. went quickly one after the other for $14. each. The work done by the Rotary Club clean-up crew every morning after each auction was out-of-this-world. From my point of view it was the best thing about the auction and always in times past the hardest to accomplish. ‘Headed by Red Ambrose, who had a silk stocking crew composed of architects and engineers, the work was done early and with dispatch. When I went out of the house Sunday morning, I found Harvey H. W. Johnson, cleaning Coca Cola cups, picnic plates and waste cellophane out of my hedge. Mr. Johnson is as old as I am, and is vice president of Scranton Springbrook Water Co. When I protested that I'd get a boy to do that work, he replied: “This is my job, it’s my part of the Auction.” That, I think, expresses the spirit of the Auction and the reason for its success. Everybody pitches in, and everybody has fun! - Many Out Of Town Visitors Neglect To Register In The Auction Book New Jersey is -always well repre- , Memorial Library on their way Ruction Contributors Not Included In Last Week's List 14 - THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1960 dren’s Apparel. 2 pr.

These past ses- sions have not been consecutive, Many of our first “Listeners” have graduated from college, and a few the second ° generation attending They will be most welcome. The primary purpose of this get- together is to give the.children a happy time. However, beyond this delight, important as that is, there are tremendous educational values in reading aloud to children. bring a few of these into focus, per- haps ' more parents -will become aware and: take advantage of ‘the | golden ‘opportunities before them. Reading aloud, -and being read to; are among the most treasured links between adult. and child; and a long remembered experience. There is something very rewarding and comforting” as a little one snuggles down to look and listen,” matching the real pictures in the book with the mental pictures formed by the words. A teacher of kindergarten can easily tell the child who has had reading aloud. at home. He has developed the habit of careful listen- ing, a very important habit to have established before first grade. . He has a knowledge and understanding which only comes from books. He ‘has confidence and ‘poise, so great- ly needed at the age of five. This child can express constructive ideas and he shows keen interest in new words. He talks in clear and direct sentences. He may not be the child who talks a great deal, but his speech is characterized by a wide and fluent vocabulary. ~~ Peter Is ‘Curious A little-five-year-old described her three-year-old brother to me by saying, ‘Peter is so serious about everything.” The word ‘“‘curious” is not a spontaneous choice: for a young child. However she had at- tended Story Hour regularly and under her arm. day until I‘'come to the Library nex favorite . books “twas; “Cu very curious: monkey. had been widely read to -at home and had acquired a’ meaningful vo- cabulary beyond her years. ; but over a period of fourteen years. | completed high school, some have | have married.

Learning to read is work, very hard work, for a six- year-old. Assuming that a child has reached general maturity to acquire the skill of reading, and has a keen desire to learn, he will make rapid strides and find much happiness and satisfaction in his efforts.

Actually the wise and patient parent has a highly important role to play in making reading a delightful and significant experience. Happy are the parents who read to their chil- ' dren; fortunate are the children who have such parents. The results of reading with your children cannot be measured. It -is a gradual accumulation of values, but over the years you will be repaid an hundred-fold.
