Wedding Pictures JERVIS STUDIO Phone 482-7006 S From My Window— Going Once Going — Gone! At the risk of becoming an incurable addict, I threw cau­ tion to the seven winds last weekend and uttered two words I am quite apt to regret for the rest of my husband’s life. The words? Seventy-five. The place? An Auction Sale! I used to scoff at the ardor of some people as they follow­ ed .blindly after the gabbing auctioneer, hardly able to breathe Until the very last pickle crock and cider jug had been sold to the highest bidder. Then, in elated jubilation they carried home th dir treasure’s—a leaking feather tick, two rusty flatirons, a -nightmarish study in watercolour of George Drew, a musty butter churn. In truth, I scoff no longer. I have experienced the ex­ citement of purchasing merch­ andise at a price I can decide, rather than shopping via the m oxr e conventional method where’ articles are tagged at a certain. price •— take it or leave it. I really hadn’t intended to open my mouth, I’d always been very careful at an auction sale not to move my hands, my lips, my eyes, a muscle un­ til the bidding had ceased, In fact, until Saturday I was root­ ed to the spot, paralyzed with fear at the mere thought oif placing a bid. I think, perhaps it was a ser­ ies of three tiny remarks which loosened my tongue sufficiently to shout to my own surprise “Seventy-five1’ when Some cur­ tains were on the block. Earlier, I had watched my neighbour enjoy her first ex­ perience as a bidding customer. She assured me, “there was nothing to it”. Then I observed my friend-, Obviously a sophisticated bid­ der. She nodded so' slyly as the auctioneer’s watchful eye To enjoy holiday shopping at your convenience. < /■> ( / * scanned the crowd, indicating so silently and easily the am­ ount she was willing to spend. She told me with pride, “I go home with .a lot of little bar­ gains.” The clincher was the con-* versation I had with an ac­ quaintance whom I admire greatly. She said, “I just started to go to sales this sum­ mer but I have a bail. You get the bug you know, Mostly the things I want go to high for me, but it’s lots of fun to bid until it gets out of your range. And once in a while, you get What you want at a price you want to pay. What could be nicer?” I didn’t get started to bid until the sale had nearly ended; and it took only one' bid tor me to “geit the bug” as my friend had predicted1. Every time the auctioneer took a breath, I was tempted to inter­ ject a bid. I found I was eager to bid on everything I saw, useful or not, and.' the excite­ ment mounted each time a new Goderich Pair Married 52 Years Mr. and Mrs. Peter Young, Huron Rd., Goderich, will cele­ brate their 52nd wedding anni­ versary tomorrow.
