Show Rummage Sale Sponsored For U.N. The Sixth Annual Community Rummage Sale sponsored by the Utah Association for the United Nations will be held March 7, 8 and 9 at 115 South Main Street in Salt Lake City, according to Mrs. Bryce J. Fairbanks and Mr. Obert C. Tanner, co-chairmen of the event. A new feature of this year's event will be a pre-sale auction of special merchandise to be held at the same address from 4 to 6 p.m. on March 6 under the direction of Mrs. A. Q. Howard. Items to be auctioned may be viewed in advance ad-vance from noon until 4 p.m. L. H, Kirkpatrick, University of Utah librarian and chairman of the Utah Association for the UN, Rolf Peter, son, radio-television personality, and H. F. Kretchman, Salt Lake Tribune editorial writer, will serve as auctioneers. Although held in Salt Lake City each year, the sale is a statewide project. Rummage is collected by UN chapters in Logan, Ogden and Provo for the event. In the Salt Lake area, some 35 civic groups and women's organizations are participating. Proceeds are used primarily for fostering United Nations interest and understanding among young people. Most important single project is the statewide high school Model UN Assembly held in the spring on the University of Utah campus, an idea begun in Utah three years ago that has since received re-ceived much national recognition and is now copied in many states. |
