Expect 800 Civilians
At Local Meeting
Boone Club VIII Receive Charter
September "a; Backing Move
ment For Fire Truck

Three hundred delegates from
Civitan clubs in all parts Of the Uni
ted States are expected here Sep-
tember "a, when the Boone club, re-
Gently organized, will receive its
charter. This announcement was
made at the clubs regular weekly
meeting last Thursday night.
At the same time, a movement
was started to obtain for Boone a
modern fire truck, costing something
like $1,000. A committee, composed
of |. G. Greer, H. W. Horton and
W. H. Gragg was appointed to con-
fer with the town council in regard
to buying the truck. 1t is under
stood that representatives from one
or two manufacturers have been here
consulting with the town board in
regard to the best type of fire appa-
ratus to purchase, and those behind
the movement are OF the opinion
that, if any truck is purchased, it
should be of the type that would give
the town the maximum of fire pro-
lection and at the same time lower
fire insurance rates.
The years program of the Civitan
club was outlined Thursday evening.
1t will be mainly one of beaut flea
ton of the town, particularly the
front yards.

HORSE SHOW ATs
BLOWING Pf *
$50 Horses Entered F .nnual
Event; Other Featu, Include
Polo Game, Potato Dough-
nut Contest and OthS orts
By RUPERT GILAETT

Blowing Rock, Aug. 17.-At least
$50 horses were expected to be at
the post early Wednesday morning
for the opening of Blowing Rock
annual horse show.
An all-day program was in store,
with contests in which both grown
ups and children were to participate.
Keenest competition was expected in
the contests in which cups were Of
fered: best lady rider, best man
rider, best pair of riders, best rider
under IA years old, best five-g gated
horse, best three-gaited horse, and
best horse in the show
But the greatest entertainment
was expected from the polo game
between men and women, with the
women riding horses and the men
riding mules. A large rubber ball
is used instead of the regulation
polo ball. This event each year
proves to be the most amusing of the
show.
Irrerest was also manifest in the
Jumps, the potato race, the dough
nut contest, TIE balloon race and the
musical chair race.
Cups were donated by Mrs. J. F.
Matthewe, Elliott Daingerfield, L. P.

Activity In Realty Circles


With the summer season in full
swing, real estate activity here has
taken on unusual activity. Several
important sales have been reported
recently, among which was the pur-
chase by w. Howes Arey of the sum-
mer home next to the home Of r. A.
Dunn of Charlotte. Mr.. Arey plans
to move into the cottage at once.
Nearly all of the hotels and room
ing houses are full and the highways
leading to Blowing Rock are crowd
ed each day with tourists.
The Green Park-Norwood golf
course is enjoying one OF the
best seasons in years.
Probable Tax Reduction
Blowing Rock will probably have
a reduction in the town tax rate OF
Is cents for the current fiscal year,
it was said by town councilmen We'd
nesday after a discussion of the
budget by the council Tuesday
night. 1t is hoped that the new rate
can be made $1.75 instead of S1.90
of last year. This reduction, it was
said, depends upon the number of
public improvements to be made
during the year. Among the i'm
provements discussed were cement
sidewalks alnog all of the principal
streets and a large water main con-
Meeting the Mayview and Blowing
Rock Hill reservoirs.
The present connection between
the two reservoirs, it was said, is too
small for a rapid transfer of water
from one reservoir to the other.
Band Making Progress
Such extraordinary progress has
been made by the Blowing Rock Band
since it's organization five weeks ago
that it was ready to play for the
Blowing Rock horse show today, said
Joseph Warren of Mt. Airy, director
of the band.
"When l came here five weeks
ago." Mr.. Warren said, "only three
of the men on the band could make
a tone on their instruments. The
rest could not even read notes. Now,
they are ready to give public con-
certs of at least ten numbers. 1t is
most unusual that a band can be
brought to such condition after only
five weeks training"
