5—THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE imm AuguM 10, 1950 page Mehama Husbands Face Another Sale Idanha Woman Tells Of Canyon Life By JEAN ROBERTS Mehama—This week marks the an nual rummage sale sponsored by the Mehama club women, and held in the I Stayton Civic building. The yearly sale is greeted with enthusiasm by all | club members enabling them to clean house and turn a neat penny for their | organization doing so. A favorite discussion at the month ly Mehama club meetings are the humorous happenings of rummage sale time: Mrs. Ercill Wilson generously do nated two pairs of her husbands trousers—not bothering to search the pockets. Much to the purchaser’s surprise, a $5 00 bill was found. Keith Phillips still complains that he was left with only one pair of overalls—the ones he had on. His wife, a zealous club member had do nated his remaining clothes for the rummage sale. Even children enter into the spirit of a sale complains Mrs. Harry Mon roe. Her children ransacked the bu reau drawers and contributed most of their underclothes. Outgrown clothing, household fur nishings, nick nacks, or anything us able is collected at the club house and transported to Stayton where it is sold at nominal prices.
