CHAUTAUQUA FOR SMYRNA
SECURE BY NEW CONTRACT
los GUARANTORS PLEDGE ST.. 400
TO ASSOCIATION FOR EVENT
Season Tickets Cannot Be Sold After
The First Oay-Ur to Public toCo-
operate With Guarantors

With a new contract such as is in
effect with all towns. that no course
tickets are to be sold by the Century
Club and Guarantors after the first
day Chautauqua arrives on the ground
next June, the Association found il
necessary 10 declare null and void the
paper signed last June while the
Cnautauqua was here and get out an
entirely new one that suited the new
iron clad conditions. With this in
view. Miss Hershey of Swarthmore.
Pa, representing Director Paul NJ.
Pearson of the Chautauqua Associa
ton. assisted by Mrs. Alice M. Read
OF TINS town. now in ChsutaUqla or
ganizatiOn work, have been canvass
ing Smyrna the past two weeks. Sc.
curing names 20 the revised contract.
As a result of their active and
strenuous campaign. and much to the
qualification Of many in Smyrna. they
secured 105 gusrantors which list
will probably be increased seven 10
ten more. Last Friday they reported
their results TO the Twentieth Cen
tury Club and that afternoon, Miss
Hershey returned with the contract
for 1916 Chautauqua in Smyrna.
While the contract places more re-
sponsibility upon the guarantors.
1t is To be hoped that the public.
those who patronize the Chautauuua.
will cooperate with the guarantors
by purchasing THEN tickets in advance
from the local committee and not
wait until the big tent and its talent
gets here. A season ticket purchased
of the local committee assures the
stability Of the enterprise from Smyr-
mas standpoint; a ticket purchased
at the bOx-office at the tent after
Chautauqua gets here helps to swell
the Golfers Of DR.. Pearson's organiza-
tion in addition to the S14OO paid him
by the guarantors. Therefore. il is
up to all to help Smyrna and purchase
your season tickets in advance.

in his vigorous sermon at Jerman

MeCann. the pastor. raped Smyrna
severely by calling attention to the
nasty habit of expectorating on the
pavements and at public places. in
which respect he said Smyrna was
the filthiest town he ever lived in. He
contended it was bad for the health
of any community TO allow such
conditions to exsist. that il was not
only disgusting but hrsedes dis
ease. He felt it was high time
for Smyrna Town Council or the
Smyrna Board of Health to mt a
ban on such habits in public places
aud If there was not any law covering
the subject to make law at once.
Pastor MeCsnn's remarks have the
endorsement of leading citizens all
