The spring sale of last weekend gleaned over $1,300 from the selling of wierd and wonderful items that stuffed the racks, piled the tables high, and were picked up like hot cakes in the Canadian Legion auditorium. It's not quite as easy as it sounds, though, and takes around 75 women working steadily for two straight days to make the sale one of the most successful in the country. First thing Friday morning, groups of volunteers were out in two station wagons, a half-tone truck and a large furniture truck to pick up the tons of rummage cleaned out of attics, basements and cupboards and set along the streets. It all had to be unloaded again at the hall where dozens more ladies unpacked, sorted, priced and stacked the goods. "Where does it all corfie from?" "There's more than ever before", were the familiar cries as box after box was opened and the piles reached higher and higher. Funny things happened too, "That dress is back again!" calls one worker to another, ap she unpacked a garment that's been shuttling back and forth from rummage sales for two or three years. Apparently, it can't find an owner that it fits. Up on the stage a member pulled on a black wig, that came in with a box of hats, over her light colored hair to the amusement of her fellow workers. By six thirty, when the doors opened, everything was marked for sale. For the next two and a half hours eager customers streamed in and the hall was soon packed with buyers looking to counter the high cost of living by picking up a pair of boy's pants for ten cents, a Harris tweed jacket for $1.25 or a dress for fifty cents, not to mention shoes, electric irons, dishes, curtains, blankets, books, toys and a million and one other things that sold for next to nothing. All departments were replenished Saturday morning — Please turn to page 13 Mrs. Rufus Kestle and Mrs. Sylvester Taylor have some fun trying on a wig that came in with the hats. A happy boy finds a hat that 'just fits' Sorority members attend conference on arthritis Mrs. Ross Tuckey, Mrs. William Essery and Mrs. William Schaefer represented Beta Sigma Phi at the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society's campaign conference at the Westbury Hotel, Toronto, April 17 and 18. The theme of the campaign is "Arthritis Control . . the Immediate. Goal." More than 200 volunteers from across Ontario attended the conference, designed to assist them in carrying out the Society's plan for attack on arthritis 41 their local communities. Two full days of activities in- cluded a tour of the University of Toronto Rheumatic Disease Unit, seminars on fund-raising: a special presentation of C,A.R,S. research program, and displays of the Society's physiotherapy and education programs. The conference emphasized that disability can be prevented in four out of five patients through early diagnosis and treatment but that we are only on the threshold. A major increase in research funds for C.A.R.S. now is necessary to achieve control of arthritis in the next decade. Campaign goal for 1971 is $852,000.
