Antique Auction To
Be Held October z

Unusual Collection OF Antiques
Donated For Historical Socie-
tvs Auction Sale In Interest Of
Jonathan Hager Home Restor-
alton Project.
A Hepplewhite desk, of the rarest
Winthrop style, will be among the
choice objects offered to the public
at the Washington County Historical
Society's Auction Sale, which will be
held in the basement of the Market
House from 10 a. m. on the morning
of October 2, through the day and
evening.
The desk, which is only one of
an unusually distinguished collection
of pieces, is described by Simms
Jameson, general chairman of the
project, as being probably the most
beautiful desk ever offered for sale
in these parts. Mahogany, it is
magnifcently inlaid across the drop
boagd and interior.
Proceeds of the sale will go to the
Society's fund for the restoration of
the original Jonathan Hager Home
and thus far, according to Mr..
Jameson, donations of fine antiques
and household wares are much too
large for public listings
Among the highlights of the sale,
however, will be a Chippendale type
Grandfather's clock, with a sun and
moon face and eight-day, brass
works, in perfect running condition.
Beautifully carved from crotch ma
hogany, the clock bears the name
of Alexander Wiley, was made in
1778 and as far as is known has
never been repaired.
Of definite local interest will be
an original porch bench (refnished),
which was made at the Dufresne
chair factory in nearby Williamsport,
which was closed in 1886.
Another exquisite piece is a ma
hogany shaving mirror, with a swell
front, and among rarer items there
will be an unusually handsome Sher-
atom. card table, with a folding top
and delicately twisted legs. One set
of six Adam chairs have been re-
ceived. The decorations have been
retouched which destroys none of
their charm for dining room use.
Some eight or ten fine Hepple-
white, Chippendale and Empire
chests of drawers in mahogany,
cherry and walnut, will be offered
and among smaller items are listed
lovely old quilts, fine old Sheffield
silver, remarkable pair of fintlock
dueling pistols, 800 years old, antique
lamps, lamp bases (both marble and
clear, candleabra, several pieces of
colored satin glass, Bohemian and
cut glass, Waterford wine bottles
and Bristol vases.
For collectors of small goods there
will be large collection of paper
weights and antique dolls, and fine
china enthusiasts will be interested
in 81 piece set of Bavarian china.
Also listed as of unusual interest
are dough tray and spinning
wheel in original condition.
All of these things and many more
may be previewed by the public on
Tuesday, October l, between / and
5 p. m. Persons having additional
items to be brought in for sale are
urged to do so after II noon on
Monday, September 80. There will
be police protection from that hour
until the close of the sale.
The Salem U. B. Church of Keedys-
vile will serve luncheon during the
entire day and evening of the sale.

Isaac WOOdard
Pension Claim
Is Turned Down

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
The Veterans Administration
has disallowed a claim for $240 q
month service-cOnnected disability
pension filed by Isaac Woodard,
Negro veteran who was blinded by
a white policeman on the day Of
his discharge, II was learned here
last Friday.
Although the VA refused to
comment on the case, 1t was learned
that Woodland has fled a second
claim asking for a non-service
connected disability pension which,
If granted, will allow him $50 q
month.
Woodard's first claim for a serv-
ice-connected disability pension
was based on the fact that he re-
ceived the beating which resulted
in his blindness on February IL,
the same day he received his army
discharge.
Official records show that
Woodard was paid by the army for
the day February IL. This led
some people interested In his case
to contend that he was still in the
army on that day and, therefore,
blinded while in the service and
entitled TO q service-connected dis
ability pension.
The Veterans Administration re-
fused to say on what grounds
Woodard's first claim had been dis
allowed, but Major Robert Le-
Compte Of the War Departments
Bureau Of Public Relations said
that for pay purposes the War
Department looked upon q man as
being discharged as Of midnight Of
the day for which he was last paid,
but that for the purposes Of mill
tary justice and pensions, It as
sumed him TO be discharged the
instant his discharge papers were
handed to him.
