Also growing in popularity are yard aales ? which also may be a sign of the times. t Garage and yard sales make up a Urge listing on the classified pages of the newspapers, especially during the spring and summer months. The ads read something like this.. ."Moving, everything must go" or "Neighborhood garage sale ? clothes, baby items, toys, ap pliances." You name it and it can be found at a yard sale, especially one like the yard sale sponsored by the Hertford Grammar School PTA each spring and fall. According to Mra. Carolyn Rennie, PTA preaident, over 20 families participated in the ipring sale, which was held Saturday on the grounds of Hertford Grammar School. Using trucks, vans, tables and blankets as showcases, the wares included such items as clothing, tools, records, hats, toys, carpeting, appliances, furniture and much more. Mrs. Rennie estimates ap proximately 200 attended the sale which was held from S a.m. to noon. "We had a pretty good day," she said, adding that the fall sale is usually bigger. She said the participants in the ?how came from as far away as South Mills. Proceeds from the booth rentals and sale of refreshments will be used to help purchase a computer for the library at Hertford Grammar, according to Mrs. Rennie. There are several reasons why so many people are turning "trash into cash," according to Paige Un derwood, Perquimans Home Economics Extension Agent. "One person's junk is another man's treasure" is the idea behind "yard sale-ing," said Underwood. "At yard sales people find things are offered at prices they can afford," she commented. Underwood said yard sales give people an opportunity to get out of the house. "The idea of browsing makes people want to be a part of it," she Turning trash into cash and finding unexpected treasures add to the appeal yard sales. (Photos by Val Short) said. For those selling items at yard sales. Underwood said that changes in taste and interest could be one reason for the abundance of castaway items. "Many of us find that we have accumulated more things we don't like and are over stocked in things we don't need," she said. "With more careful planning in our purchasing, we can probably eliminate the problem of excess items," she continued. Whether you "yard sale" for sport, pleasure or necessity, it is an ex perience that appeals to the young and old, the rich and poor. It gives everyone the opportunity to trade trash for cash or cash for treasures. Service news SHEARD Pvt. Rooservelt Sheard, Jr., son of Martha N.
