MR. MANEY DIES
Since the Office news column on
Page 10 went to press, word has
been received of the death of Mr.
L. D. Maney Sunday night in an
Asheville hospital. Mr. Maney was
66 years of age and had been sick
for the past six weeks. One of his
surviving sons is William Robert,

With entries totalling almost 50
per cent more than last year and
with competition sharper than ev
er, the 1947 Harvest Festival held
September 5 in the Cafeteria will
go down as one of the outstanding
events of the year.
There were 1,453 entries in the
Festival this year as compared
with 1,090 a year ago. Carrying
home the grand sweepstakes prize
in addition to three other awards
and $51 in cash was Mr. and Mrs.
A. D. Harrell. The Filter Plant
employee and his wife racked up a
total point score of 6,600 points
against 5,900 for Mr. and Mrs.
Ralph Paxton, and 5,500 for Mr.
and Mrs. Charlie Cook.
The awarding of the prizes was
one of the highlights of the eve
ning’s program. R. F. Bennett pre
sided over the program which was
opened by the Ecusta band with a
fine performance.
In a short talk, Mr. Harry H.
Straus expressed a deep interest
in the Harvest Festival. He en
couraged those present to study
carefully their food purchases and
to buy intelligently when consider
ing items which at present are
priced at unjustifiable and unrea
sonable levels.
In introducing Mr. W. Kerr
