UUUNCE
The V .F.W . ladies Auxiliary
has set the date for their annual
Fall Jumbo sale, Oct. 31, Nov. 1
and 2, at the V .F.W . hail.
These sales of old and new
goods have been a semi-annual
all-community project of these
groups for several years and
have become widely known.
As per usual, the VFW hall
will be filled with attractive bar­
gains contributed by not only the
members themselves, b u t by
people who have surplus goods
someone else may make use of.
It has long been the custom of
the ladies to display nothing but
what can immediately be used,
and as the merchandise is do­
nated, keep their prices so low
as to be of real service to many.
Those having any goods they
wish to dispose of may contact
any member of the Ladies Aux­
iliary or VFW post. Mrs. Alice
Bordwell is chairman of the sale
Proceeds are, for the most
part, expended in the commun -
ity. Some of this money, in the
past, has helped with the Walk­
ing Blood Bank.
