pot 26 en WINNETKA TALK June 25, 1927 Name North Shore Chairmen for Gold and Silver Sale Unique Sale Will Be Held in October as Schod¥ Benefit By JEAN TEN BROECK The many parish branches of the Woman's auxiliary of the Chicago diocese of the Episcopal church are selecting their individual chairmen to carry on the plans now underway for the Gold and Silver sale to be held in the loop in late October. At this time of summer departures, summer rentals, and summer changes, heads of households constantly find the disposal of certain lares and pen- ates a debatable question. To many this Gold and Silver sale, a benefit for St. Margaret's school in Tokyo, Japan which was completely destroyed in the earthquake of 1923, will prove a happy solution of their what-shall- we-do-with-it problems. The parish chairmen stand ready to help and to give information. In Evanston the general chairman for St. Luke's is Mrs. Vance Roberts, with Mrs. Charles Rees chairman for the Junior auxiliary, and Miss Jane Cluett chairman for the Evening guild. Mrs. Harry Wells is chairman for St. Mark's, and Mrs. E. C. Koogle for St. Matthew's. Mrs. Thomas Hardwick is chairman for St. Augustine's church, Wilmette; Mrs. S. D Flood for the Church of the Holy Comforter, Kenilworth: Mrs. Harry L. Street for Christ church, Winnetka; Mrs. C. C. Coldren for St. Elisabeth's, Glencoe; Miss Elizabeth Towner for Trinity church, Highland Park. The chairman has not yet been decided upon for the Church of the Holy Spirit, Lake Forest, where Mrs. Alfred Granger is chairman of the auxiliary. On Sunday, October 9, and again on Sunday, October 16, a Gold and Silver offering will be taken up in each church. The chairman will provide a basket into which the collections made by parishioners and their friends will be poured. Those pieces of old gold and silver particularly desired are old rings, nap- kin rings, chains, old cuff buttons, watches, bracelets, pins, tea pots, vas- es, cream and sugar bowls, spoons, forks, badges, and dental gold, which is of greater carat than any other. Any article which its possessor does not care to have sold, because of past association, may be marked "for the melting pot only." After the gifts have been gathered at the church they will be sent to the sorting and appraising committee, of which Mrs. Paul Noyes is chairman, and passed upon, before being sent to the store for a two-day sale. Proceeds from the sale are to help re-build St. Margaret's. Give Dance for Daughter Mr. and Mrs. Frederick W.
