BUY AT Home
TO AID idle
More Trade, More Workers
in Store, Idea of Chamber
of Commerce
FAVOR BUILDING
LOAN ASSOCIATION

A buy at home- campaign has
been inaugurated by the board Of
directors Of the Chamber OF Com
merce with the object OF assisting the
city's unemployed.
At a meeting yesterday afternoon
the board authorized the president,
A. ID. Warner. Jr., to appoint a COM
mittee to take up with other civic
organizations the question of boost
ing Wilmington's home industries.
II is argued that II the people pat
ronize their own merchants this
gives the merchant power to en-
ploy more people in addition 20
keeping those already employed;
when he in turn buys everything pos
sible from local wholesalers. It has
a similar effect. and II local whole
salers will purchase in Wilmington
from Wilmington manufacturers
every article OF merchandise they
can handle. that will stimulate
work here. and the more work the
local manufacturer gets. the greater
number OF employees. and the greater
the purchasing power of the people
and so on in an endless circle. Every
dollar. II is contended. spent In other
communities has had the effect OF
stimulating business conditions
there to the detriment OF this city.
The directors also endorsed the
proposal Of some OF the members OF
the Chamber 20 organize a building
loan association for the purpose Of
assisting the building trades and
providing employment

PALMER COLLEGE
SHUTS OUT HIGH
Local Twirer Pitched Fine Game
Against ColIegians.

The local high school went down in
defeat in their first game of the season
to the tune of to at the hands Of
Palmer college at DeFuniak Springs.
The Palmer battery was no other than
Glen Bludsworth, the former Cushnoc
pitcher, and Lee Work, who caught
for the University of Florida two years
ago. The excellent playing of these
two men spelled defeat for the local
lads for Bludsworth struck out II men.
Raymond Marsh, the 14-year- old
freshman, actually pitched as good a
game if not better than his much more
experienced opponent for Palmer only
touched him for eight safeties while
the locals tapped Bludsworth for seven.
Timely hits by the Palmer team and
failure of the locals to give Raymond
proper support in the pinches caused
the defeat for him. Raymond's pitch
ing was commented on by the DeFuni-
lax people as being of high class for
a high school youngster as for several
innings during the game he shut out
the palmer team one-two-three Ray
mond worked like a veteran in the
box. He got the signal from the catch
err and shot the ball over while Buds
worth was slow and took too much
time. The locals played their innings
a whole lot faster than the Palmer
team did.
The locals got men on the bases time
and again but could not get the neces-
s2ry hits to score. In the last inning
Wilson was safe on an inffeld hit and
Vaughn made a miraculous stop of a !
drive off Tom Johnson's bat and dou-
bled Wilson at first, then Will Wolfe /
flied out, ending the game.
