neht committee on entertainment OF
tourists was appointed by the Blow
ing Rock ChamOer OF Commerce at
its meeting last Thursday night in
tne school auditorium. Although
this committee will have general
charge Of entertainments for tour
lists, its first work will probably be
to provide amusement tor the tour
lists who will come on series OF
tours being arranged by Green's
boro touring firm. The committee is
composed OF c. S. Prevette, chair
man, Mrs. Z. G. Underdown and
Miss Ethel Norval.
The committee on town beautifi-
cation reported that pines had been
planted around the standpipe on
Blowing Rock hotel hill and that
scale OF fees for garbage collection
had been prepared. Mayor Sudderth
pointed out, however, that as the
town has no way OF enforcing the
payment OF such fees, this play will
probably prove impracticabie.

ly opened Monday night with an ad-
dress by Mayor George NJ. Suddertn
and another By Dr. K. b. Scales be-
fore the large crowd that attended
the first performance. Mayor Sud-
derth pointed out that this theater
Is entirely d local institution, since
it was built and is owned and oper-
ated by local men, and therefore,
deserves local support.

whimsical advice to both the owners
