Hunt Up Your Treasures

Many fascinating family treasures are promised for the exhibit at the school house for Thanksgiving Day in connection with the community-wide all-day festival at church and school house, to raise money for Christmas for our town friend of Feves.

A silver candelabra, used by the Deetjen family when they were barons in Germany, and which once graced the banquets in a castle, with walls seven feet thick, will lend glamour to Morganville. Pearl Furrer will show the pewter plate, now museum pieces, used for every day a hundred years ago by the Schwab family in Switzerland.

A painted oak chest, which brought the belongings of Olaf Johnson from Sweden to America in 1848, will be shared by Mrs. Leda Holte Nelson for the event.

Items from Japan, Italy, France, England, Scotland and Ireland are among other antiques already listed. There will be many heirlooms of early American vintage as well, not to mention local things kept and cherished for this generation. Names dear, but vanished from the Morganville scene, will live again on many of the treasures. For instance, Dr. C. C. Stillman's mother's brown stone mixing bowl, carried overland from Vermont, will be present. We expect to see Lucinda Silver's cake stand again.

People are asked to bring their things to the school house on Wednesday evening for arrangement. They will be under guard or lock and key at all times. The judging for first, second and third prizes for the authentic with the most romantic history will be Thursday morning by unbiased out of town judges.

Dutton Schooley is lending us a glass show case for the safety of jewelry and other valuables.

People are asked to pin or paste their names securely on the underside of each item and to write out a short detailed history for the public and judges.

Mrs. Betty Hughes Hanson is chairman of the art committee and can answer any questions concerning entries.

-Velma Carson.
