Chairman Harper and members of the
committee recently made an automo-
bile trip over the feeder and were
more than pleased with the enthu-
siasm showp.--The- committee has like
wise been encouraged by the enthusi-
astic manner in which the Board Of
Trade, Chamber of Commerce and Re-
tail Merchants Association have
pledged their memberships to support
a preliminary showing of the film in
order to meet the expense OF taking
the picture.
After this has been consummated the

bodies and other representative organ

mittee that this should be done without
cost to any of these organizations, ap-
preciating the great benefit that will
accrue to Washington and other cities
represented in the feeder.
