Kiwanis sale:
Bargains galore!

er. There were mothers with chil-
dren in tow, students looking for
cheap furniture, the old looking
for remnants of the past. All min-
gled in search of the jackpot, and
jackpots there are.
ANTIQUES, JEWELRY, TV's,
ice skates-the treasurers that fill-
ed the three story building were
endless. Even puppies, an upright
grand piano, and a limousine
awaited eager shoppers.
In the three days of the sale,
crowds will ruthlessly pick through
the merchandise that Kiwanis club
members collected from the com-
munity throughout the year.
Explains Springer, "Three weeks
before the sale, the ladies sort
mounds and mounds of goodies.
When we start, the rummage is
piled right to the ceiling. We have
everything from soup to nuts,
everything except room."
home. The largest beneficiary is
the Forney Clement Foundation for
Crippled Children at the Mott Chil-
dren's Hospital.
This year the Kiwanis Club hopes
to top last year's $30,000 profits.
BUT THERE is more to the sale
than bargains and charity. Sport-
ing 'Have a Good Day' buttons,
the 100 Kiwanis workers smiled
amongst the p u s h i n g jostling
crowd, communicating a warm
sense of camaraderie.
"I enjoy the sale because I get
to meet with many people I don't
see from one year to the next,"
says Springer. "It's the one big
thing where the Kiwanis wives get
together."
For the most part, the friendli-
ness was shared by the customers.
The excitment and the fun ran
tampant, and the prices were
great. Coats went for $10, refriger-
ators went for $50.
"WE'VE COME here for 20
years," said one woman. "I used
to be able to outfit all my kids
here. Now I think the prices are
too high. I don't have to come
anymore, but I still love to strike
a good bargain."
Most of the things are the usual
household junk found at rummage
sales, but some is valuable. A deli-

of their rummage while giving it

One marcher, having donned a
paper mache elephant's head rep-
resenting the council Republicans,
who tend to favor the new restau-
rant, danced hand-in-hand with a
disheveled Ronald McDonald cari-
cature.
Several others in the merry mob
carried cardboard boxes painted
like gargantuan "Big Mac" con-
tainers emblazoned with the slo-
gan "a quarter pound of crap."
The demonstration culminated
several months of concern and out-
rage over the proposed greasy
spoon-and a plastic spoon at that.
BESIDES destroying the Nickels
House - "an oasis of greenery"-
with its lush ivy and handsome
garden, the citizens fear that the
IMcDonalds will bring a flood of
cars, garbage, and other plagues.
McDonalds has tried to placate
the critics byhdesigning a unique
building for the lot next to the
arcade. "It will be a real special
animal," comments one company
representative.
Under the proposed plan, there
would be no garish golden arches.
The two-story structure is suppos-
edly designed - through land-
scaping and lighting - to fit in
with the older surrounding build-
ings.

EVEN THESE assurances, how-
ever, do not satisfy the opposition.
"The thing will be the best look-
ing ugly McDonalds in the world,'
said one of the demonstrators.
"It will be an outrage . . . an in-
sult to the people who live anc
work in the area," lamented an-
other.
The McDonalds representative
claims traffic won't be a prob-
lem since the eatery will be a
"walk-in facility" and that two em-
ployes will be hired exclusively tc
pick up the discarded cups, pap-
fers, and other trash that encircle
fast food joints like a blanket of
snow.

They both came into the world
shortly before the turn of the cen-
tury. Although now grey and
weathered by the years they re-
main warm and friendly.
Ms. Hall spends most of her time'
sitting in the prim, pastel yellow
livingroom; a heating pad across
her knees provides some comfort
from the chronic arthritis she suf-
fers.
SHE DOESN'T want to leave the:
home where she has spent over
half a century. But it's the leaving
that hurts - not McDonalds mov-
ing in.
"I always expected to be carried'
out of this house feet first," she
says, "But I never planned to get
arthritis either."

The Washington settlement was
reached by negotiators for the gov-

ally dozens of independent 'truck-
ers' groups which have sprung up
overnight to represent drivers who
own their own rigs and do not 're-
ceive hourly wages as do the
Teamsters.
BUT THE INDEPENDENTS are
highly disorganized among them-
selves, and drivers and spokesmen
for groups of strikers across the
country said they were not satis-
fied. The truckers' spokesmen who
made the agreement said they
needed 48 hours to explain it to
independents.
A few of the truckers and their
spokesmen took a wait-and-see at-
titude until they could hear details
of the proposal; spokesmen for
two of the groups of independents
said yesterday afternoon they fa-
vored acceptance of the offer.
