Super Grand Rummage Sale Delights Visitors (by the Rev. Win O. Hanner, rector emeritus of Holy Comforter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth) On the morning of August 4 at 7 a.m., the Hamiers left their comfortable home and headed for Milwaukee. The credit for this morning exodus belongs to Lou Alt. She had told Rose about the Farmer's Market near Milwaukee. It starts early. In fact, I was there before J was out of bed, in a manner of speaking, On the first Monday of each month (summer and winter I understand) farmers west of Milwaukee gather with their products along Wisconsin Route MM, which is also known as St. Martin's road. From this it follows that the market is also known as St. Martin's market. It is held in the town of Franklin, two miles west of Hales Corners. The farmers bring all kinds of local products to the market. It is over around noon. The best time to get there is "early". Therefore the departure in the freshness of the dawn. They had everything. Parking was a problem. We found a place about four blocks away and walked over. Then I found you could park for 50 cents. The market stretches along the road for a mile or more. We did about half of it. We walked up one side and back along the other. There was everything for sale-name it and it was there. My first idea was that produce was the chief element of the market. Well no! It was a large part of it. Folks who have anything to sell were out. It was a super grand rummage sale. It was a Parisian Flea market. \ There were coins, stamps, rolling pins, acres of old 'paperbacks' (often a good buy), there was an used car, baskets, tools (used, but at antique prices), jewelry, mostly bad, archery equip­ ment, cushions, needlework. Then there were indeed elegant farm products, Rose got six heads of large, crisp Bibb lettuce, 2 for 35 cents, beets were about half the price we had paid nearer home. Fresh corn was on all sides, beautiful dill (fresh) (for pickling) was to be had for 25 cents a large bunch. I saw squash, 'cukes', potatoes, red and also white, apples for pies, sauce and frying, (say by the bye, did you ever have fried apples for breakfast?) (great dish in the Virginia mountains where I first got the habit, great day starter), black walnuts, rutabagas, and cabbage. One truck had a sign - "we grow what we sell". There was livestock. Kittens were for the asking. Duckling, $1.25, doves, rabbits, chickens Fate Of Fair Grand Champion Is Death The Illinois State Fail- regulation requiring that grand champion livestock be slaughtered within two months of the fair remains in effect after the defeat of a bill in­ troduced in the State Legislature last session. Currently, fair rules require that the grand champion steer, barrow and wether be slaughtered at the University of Illinois Meat laboratory so that the quality of their meat may Ik ' assessed scientifically. State Rep. Fred J. Schraeder (I)-Peoria) introduced a bill in the House of Representatives which would have allowed the governor, or his designated representative, to suspend the slaughter rule at the request of the animal's owner, "under special circumstances." At last year's fair, Gov. Dan Walker granted just such a reprieve to the grand champion wether, which was then donated to the Lincoln Park Children's Zoo in Chicago. The House-amended version of Rep. Schraeder's bill stated that the fair could "make no rule or regulation requiring the slaughter of any animal in a contest or exhibition." The House unanimously approved this version of the bill in March, but the legislation was later defeated by the Senate Agriculture committee, and never reached the floor of the Senate for consideration. This year's Illinois State Fair, Super Fair '75, runs Aug. 1-17. with cocks-a-crow, ban&ms, eggs and honey. One lady had a very nice Shetland pony for sale, kind and gentle - be careful there! Don't put your fingers in his mouth!! He'll think it 's sugar, (this to two children). The price of the pony was $65 with the saddle going for $20 more. The lad who had once prided himself on having a pony looked on, sort of unconcerned, he was 'too big' for a pony now, Scat Childhood! A young goat (kid) was of­ fered nearby-his price $20. I thought of William Green Hill who as a child prayed to the dear Lord on behalf of his maiden aunt, beseeching the Almighty to bestow upon her a "Billy goat-or a little Nanny if she'd rather." Down the line was a beautiful burnished copper (old style) wash boiler, priced at $30 or a rugged old cheaper metal one for $12. Nearby were two heavy jingly leather straps of long unused sleigh bells*. The bells were heavy. The shorter strap was $7.75, the longer with thirty heavy, shiny bells was $24. Every block along the road was a refreshment wagon purveying all sorts of sustenance from sandwiches and coffee to popcorn balls and cotton candy. Then there were the farmers in overalls, the ever present teen-agers in blue jeans, the girls in bare midriffs, some plump, some skinny, some just right in all colors from sickly white to lush tans. The farmers' wives husky and busy, happy and pleasant. There were flowers and plants, too-sure thing we got some of them. It was a good outing. We spent about<$10 for fresh foods- must have saved 50 cents. And the cost - oh, about $5 for gas, and "eine zweite Frustuck" (German for second breakfast) in Burlington on the way home was $3.25. But we "saved" 50 cents. Have you ever excused yourself thus? Aw nutz we had a good trip and it was fun r. Milwaukee is too close to miss. Go on over. See a brewery sometime.
