BUYING CHAUTAUQUA TICKETS

Very soon you are going to face the
annual purchase Of season tickets for
the chautauqua. THE committees sof
guarantors are going to face the annu
al problem of disposing of sufficient
number to bring them clear of digging
up a deficit 1t seems that new COM
mittees Of guarantors would learn
thing or two from the experiences of
former ones, yet every year one hears
large rumble of complaint about
chautauqua time. In most towns where
chautauQuas appear the matter Of sign.
ing guaranty list is one of mere
formality Enough tickets can be sold
without solicitation. Here in Hood
River we have limited population and
the distribution Of the tickets requires
some diplomacy.
1t has always seemed to us that the
way the season ticket sales solicitors
often approach business men or orch
archardists tend to put damper on
their sale. Instead of citing the real
worth Of the piece Of pasteboard, it is
often the case that the prospective
buyer is impressed with the civic duty
that confronts him. He is asked to
buy and help get something out of the
hole. And that purchaser overlooks
the fact that he is getting his full
moneys worth, or will get it when he
goes to the entertainments and lee
lures. The chautauqua is worthy
enterprise. 1t will be worth all that
Hood River people pay to see it, but
we wish that some means might be de-
vised to eliminate the annual bilious
spell that is always generated during
the week the season tickets are being
sold
