OVER SSOO TO GO TO VALPO CHAPEL FROM AUCTION Over SSOO will go to the new chapel-auditorium of Valparaiso University from the Saturday afternoon and evening street auction and food sale, Mrs. Herald Hollman. treasurer of the Decatur chapter of the Valparaiso University guild, has stated. “Good crowds, cooperative weather, and enthusiastic auctioneers combined to make the Valpo Guild sale a success,” declared Mrs. Louis Jacobs, publicity chairman, today. Goods for the sale were collected by the key women of the ten churches of the Decatur circuit of the guild, and ten local members, led by co-chairmen Mrs. Fred Schamerloh and Mrs. Edgar Thieme, called for “merchandising leftovers" for the auction Friday. The ten ladies reported a cordial reception, and the results were a variety from beet knives to dog houses, sausage grinders and homemade doughnuts. Saturday morning the city street department was on hand to fence off the half block of Madison street for the guild. The city light service men wired the food tent which was donated by Bryce Daniels, Fort Wayne Tent and Awning company. By 1:30 the ladies of the guild had assembled all articles for the auction block, and the first selling session began. After preliminary singing and practice calls by die auctioneers, the sale got underway, with calling in both German and French. A big hand went to a 16-year-old auctioneering student who “wangled” $3.25 out of the crowd for a homemade coffee cake. Students were coached by Colonels Petit, Chaffee, Pollock, and Elliot, this being one of the fledgling auctioneers’ practice experiences in their three-week course at the Reppert auctioneering school.
