PAGE 14—T 4 A Team of Rocking Horsés For the Auction Prancing steeds for the Library Auction dangle meekly from Ziba Smith’s hands. Somebody saw the sturdy little rocking horses Zibe had made for his grandchildren. “Why don’t you make a couple for the Auction?’ was the obvious query. Here they are. The offhorse has a mean look in its eye. Prob- ably throw its rider. Zibe stopped in his job of putting up foundations for the Auction tents to model his rocking horses. COUNTRY AUCTION By Eleanor Alletta Chaffee “Who wants a platter— cracked?’ I want it, Whispered the old one, sitting in the shade. But no one heard so low a voice, or noticed The tiny trembling that her fingers made. “Who wants a rocker— the arm has been repaired?’ I want it, she thought. Where the arm is worn Is where I leaned and rocked them all at twilight; Rocked them years past when the youngest one was born. “Who wants a clock? Broken, but can be fixed.” I want it, she said fiercely to herself. That was the voice of time that never faltered, Wisely chattering on the kitchen shelf. All that they saw was a tired old woman dozing; But across the lawn and up the deserted stair A girl ran smiling, touching the things she loved, Setting her slipper on the empty air . . . NO KITTENS! General Solicitation, Mrs. Carlton Davies, chairman, is asking for everything, up to and including the kitchen sink . . . everything but Fkittens. PLEASE do not send Ekittens to the auction. Each year somebody smuggles a litter of kittens into the grounds, and looks blank when the frantic auction committee tries to lo- cate the owner. Word fromthe top brass is that kittens are not to be received. And DON’T send any piece of furniture that would look well on the public dump. This auction is to make money for the library, not to relieve the householder of sending forthe trashman. Auctioneer The man who is stationed at the door does not pick people’s pockets; that is done within by the auctioneer. SAMUEL JOHNSON: Bos- well’s Life, May 8, 1775 NEW GOODS New Goods is a big subject to handle in an Auction Brief. Too big. Things are going fine. And important items, as was done last year, will be on display again, with prob- able time of auctioning. Jim Alexander's committee is really going to town. BOUGHT The Key Club will again man the Barn; John Butler's Explorer Scouts, in white hel- mets, will run goods from the auction block to the pur- chasers. Auction block is going to be enlarged. Some mix-ups oc- curred last year, when bid- ders thought they were bid- ding on one thing, and were actually bidding on some- thing entirely different.
