dations for tents. For the past
three years, the Auction has
been under its own canvas.
Prior to that time, tents were
borrowed. Tent making wasa
colossal job, but it has paid
off in convenience. In charge
of grounds are Ziba Smith,
Tony Hudak, Stefan Heller-
sperk, and Bob Casselberry.
Plenty oflollypops this year,
promises Nancy Kozemchak,
who is enlisting more Girl
Scout Troops to make them
by the hundred. And the hot
buttered popcorn will smell
just as heavenly late at night
as it did last year.
I's nice to see Hazel Berti
handling the Odds and Ends
booth. Save her your odd
dishes and anything else you
feel you can spare. Her co-
chairman is Mrs. James Hus-
ton. Every auction day is a
bargain day at the Odds and
Ends booth.
Dan Flood Sends Flag
Flown Over Capitol
Offered for auction this year will
be a five by eight flag flown over
the Capitol at Washington. It
comes with the compliments of the
Honorable Daniel J. Flood.
Dan arranged with J. George
Stewart, Architect of the Capitol,
to have the flag flown over the
Capitol building, and sends it with
his ‘best wishes for success of the
Sixteenth Annual Back Mountain
Memorial Auction. Heis recuperat-
ing at hishomein Washington from
surgery performed early this
spring, and each day takes on
more and more of his accustomed
work.
One of the pictures taken some
years ago at an earlier auction,
shows Dan trundling an entire
wheelbarrow load of books se-
lected - from the book booth, and
another picture shows Dan auction-
ing off a puppy over the block.
I LOVE OLD THINGS
I love old things:
Streets of old cities
Crowded with ghosts
And banked with oranges,
Gay scarfs and shawls
That flow like red water.
I love old abbeys
With high, carved portals
And dim, cool corners
Where tired hearts pray:
I join them in the silence
And repair my soul.
I love old inns
Where floors creak eerily
And doors blow open
On windless nights,
Where heavy curtains
Dance a slow waltz.
I love old trees
That lift up their voices
High above the grasses.
They do not sing
At the light wind’s bidding:
They chant alone to storms.
I love old china,
Knowing well the flavour
Of great, strong men
And fair, sweet women
Lurks at the rim
Of each deep brown bowl.
I love old books
_ Frayed from the searching
Of Truth-hungry fingers:
Their warm, soft vellum
Leads me up through sorrow
Like a dear friend’s hand.
I love old men
And old, dear women
Who keep red cheeks
As the snows of winter
Keep the round red berry
Of the winter-green.
(This verse to be chanted)
I love old things:
Weather-beaten, worn things,
Cracked, broken torn things,
The old son, the old moon,
The old earth’s face,
Old wine in dim flagons,
Old ships and old wagons —
Old ships and old wagons —
(This line softly)
Old coin and old lace,
Rare old lace.
