Discussions

WASHINGTON, July 7. (UP)

which will take him through states
in which there are bitterly con
tested primary elections ahead in
volving the prestige of the New

In view of current talk Of

attracted a newspaper retinue

The trip will combine a series
of speaking engagements, a sea
cruise in the southern Pacific, a
trip through the Panama Canal,
tropical fishing in southern Allan
tic waters. Stops in southeastern
states will be made on the last leg
Of the tour.

C. E. Wilson they organized and
established The Flower Mission in

then set in motion to build an
adequate plant for disqualification
and in 1912 the institution open
ed its doors to the public.
During the 26 years of its life
the hospital has striven to serve
all, but has been especially inter
csted in underprivileged children
and much has been done for this
group by the combined efforts Of
civic clubs, doctors and the hospi-

Horse
SHOW IN CITY
FOR One week
VIII Be August liz;
7. B. McGahey New AS
ISOLATION President

The dates for HcnderSonviIlc ;
third annual Horse Show, orig
inallv scheduled for August 1 and
), we're changed to Thursday and
Friday, August II and IL, at a
meeting of show officials last
night.
In changing the dates, officials
of the show expressed regret that
the original dates could not be
used so that the show would fol-
low Immediately after the Ccntcn-
NAL Celebration. Reasons for
moving the dates forward one
week were given as follows:
The Bristol, Va, show Is schcd-
uled for July =, and the Blowing
Rock show for August 5 and q.
These dates have been maintain
ed by these shows over a long pc
Rod of years and these shows are
senior i'm the circuit to the local
show. In consideration of these
older shows officials said they
could do nothing but change the
local dates.
Should the local show be held
at the same time as the Blowing
Rock show, the exhibitors would
probably be divided between the
two places, lowering the quality
of both shows.
Lloyd Tate, widely known
hOrseman, is the director of the
Blowing Rock show. He has serv-
ed as judge of jumpers here for
the past two years and has CO.
operated in every way with the
local show. Officials yesterday no
titled Mr.. Tate that the local
dates would be changed and he
pledged cooperation with the To-
cal show.
