AUCTION SAT J] AT MOCKSVILLE Hie late Dr and Mrs. R. P. Anderson's household items were so
numerous that the Wachovia Bank A Trust Company of Winston-Salem, N. C (selling agents) for this
vast estate, had to have several extra days to dispose of the fine antique merchandise. The estate included
14 rooms of furnishings, glassware, silver, jewelry and the property which included the homepiace and near
ly five acres of land located on Main Street in Mocksville-
Hie crowds attending this sale were very congenial and the bidding kept moving right along, but the
fact was that the quantity of these items took a long time to fprfag out of the house and then after they
were sold, most of the things were put back into the house until the buyers could arrange for them to be
picked up.
Wachovia Bank Trust Office, Mr. Miller A. Nifong, and his associates, are experts in their pro
fession of handling a sale of this sort in every respect. Everyone seemed to enjoy the sale, in spite of the
hot weather. C. H. Fishel and Neil Bolton were the auctioneers-
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Sell of Mocksville purchased the homepiace and five acres of land.

Meet Report
Is Gives Here
Mrs. Shelby Nichols and
Miss Janet Ridge have just re
turned from the national meet
ing of Future Homemakers of
America, held in St. Louis,
Missouri, July IS-16.
Janet was one of 1100 FHA
delegates representing a na
tional membership of over
600,000 high school students
studying home economics.
The St. Louis meeting laun
ched the 21st birthday cele
bration of the Future Home
makers of America. Janet re
ports that the historical pa
geant "The Past Is To Build
On," presented by FHA mem
bers on the second day of the
meeting (July 13), was a real
inspiration. She said:
"Our historical pageant car
ried out the conference theme
of *2l Years a Foundation
for Progress.' Some of the peo
ple who were in on the origin
al plans took part and the
pageant ended with a repre
sentative of the Home Econo
mics College Clubs lighting
the Betty Lamp (symbol of the
American Home Economics
Association) with these wacds:
'We have before us the light of
home economics a light
which radiates throughout 4jbr
world. This is tbeTts?of our
ideals our purposes, which
enable us to make our homes,
communities, nation, and
world s happier place to live.'
"The entire meeting was
planned and executed by FHA
members. Each state delega
tion had a particular respon
sibility. Our state was respon
sible for ushering for the fifth
session.
"We learned so much at the
meeting it's hard to say what
was the most outstanding
event. We heard from leaders
in the education field, held
some wonderful workshop ses
sions, elected our new national
officers, had s chance to do
some sightseeing, and enjoyed
a night at the St. Louis Muni
cipal Opera seeing the Broad
way hit Can Can."
Janet is a senior in the Da
vie County high school. She is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Ridge. Mrs. Nichols is
the District VIII FHA adviser
for the 1966-67 school year.
