THE DALLAS POST, AUG. 28, 1969 sunshine helps Zion complete big auction Mount Zion United Methodist Church never plans for more than 300 diners at its annual auction, for 300, divided into three shifts, is all the dining room will comfortably hold. Saturday afternoon, begin- ning at 4, the auctioneer intoned the numbers of the tickets, and there was a general exodus from the chairs under the oak trees, where bidders had been sitting, waiting for dinner to be served. It would be another hour before the next batch of hungry ticket holders would be announced. No figures are yet available on the annual auction which helps maintain the church, but the dinner, which attracts the maximum number of per- sons each year, went off ac- cording to schedule, country style. Women gathered the night before to peel potaoes for the pot, women supplemented by one man, handy with a knife. Catherine Gilbert presided at the pot. Mashed potatoes are her department. Blaine Lewis, Freda Krum, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Smith, Rachel Miles and her daughter from New Jersey, and Minnie VanTuyle, skinned 150 pounds of potatoes. The roast beef is prepared in various kitchens, brought to the church kitchen still hot, and kept hot until serving time. It was a perfect day, the first weekend since mid-June that the weather has coop- erated. 40th reunion held The Perry family held its 40th annual reunion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Bedford, Orange, Sunday, Aug. 17. Luncheon was served after which new officers were elected. A corn roast was held later in the afternoon. Officers for the 1969-70 year are: John Perry, president; David A. Perry Jr., vice presi- dent; Doris ‘Perry ‘Bedford, secretary; Lois Perry, trea- surer. WATER - SKI SHOW! SUNDAY, AUGUST 31ST win [HEE AVANTI'S FREE!

There were more cars parked under the oaks and alongside the cemetery than ever before. Trees had been carefully trim- med to provide maximum space beneath them for easy access, the grounds raked and readied. Mount Zion has a practi- cally fool-proof system for getting articles to the auction block. The block itself is a flatbed truck. Parked behind it are two large trailer trucks whick con- vey items from the Lewis barn and the Harris barn to the auc- tion site, rolling up the day be- fore or on the morning of the auction, when empty. In charge of getting goods from the trailers to the auction block was a young man re- cently returned from Vietnam, Jake Bell. The sale started at noon. Auctioneers found that large items went begging, bringing slim results, while small articles brought aston- ishing prices.

Catherine Gilbert’s painting of cattails and Jo Pyweed in a swamp, still damp from a hasty finishing the night before, went to a man in Noxen. Catherine’s painting is a tradition of the auction. One year it was of the church itself, given back to the church by the lucky bidder. Brainerd Daniels and Leon VanTuyle were auction chair- men, Bob Earl and VanTuyle, the auctioneers. Responsibility for the kitchen was divided between Alice Daniels and Mae Lewis. Millie Krum had charge of the dining room. auxiliary has annual picnic Members and guests of American Legion Auxiliary Unit #672 recently held a family - picnic and corn roast at the home of Mrs. Leonard Harvey, Dallas The more athletically in- clined played several games of volley ball while others were content to discuss and resolve the problems of the world.
