DISCUSS PLANS R'tnember BORAD OF TRADE NAMESPRKIDENT IrW RED-HEAPED OFFICE toy, WELU- Uft rSIPENlTOFE (OMMNY NOW Ifl A. S. Truex, Former Secretary Board of Trade Render Statement; . Discusses Situation. To the Members of the Board of Trade in Annual Meeting Assem bled, January 6th, 1922. Gentlemen: Considering the general financial depression of the past year, Hender- sonville enjoyed a fairly prosperous season. The Board of Trade has done some good work, the special features being mentioned in our President's mes sage. As to actual memberships, it is a proposition to compute same., owing to the fact there has always been some difference of opinion as to de linquent and non-paying members. borne, who were members in 1920 were carried over as members for 1921 and did not obligate them selves by renewed pledges, have paid nothing for 1921. Others -who did sign for 1921 have made no payment. Eliminating those that did not sign and holding those that did sign, regardless of non payment, we have approximately 119 members representing 417 memberships. This is not what it should be. For the coming year we must have strong active membership committee, on. the job 12 months of the year. Our total receipts for the year, in cluding money carried ovef from 1920, amounted to $5,510.79, our total disbursements were $5,431.47, balance on hand $79.32. Our outstanding obligations are, balance due Redfield Kendrick Odell Co., for booklets, $200; due Philadel phia Record for advertising (due in April) $175.00; note due Redfield Kendrick Odell Co., on booklets, $1,667.00; total $2,042.00. We have approximately $500.00 still due on 1921 memberships. We need a full time Secretary just as soon as we can finance the propo sition, whether that time has come or not depends on the members of the organization and the help we can secure from the City Council, from their advertising fund. We must take into account the fact that other incidental expenses come with the full time Secretary, office and office equipment. While on this subjet let me express my personal opinion that we do not need to go out of our city to find a good man, at least let us not be too hasty in calling in some stranger. I know from experience much of the work of a Secretary calls for a knowledge of local affairs and local conditions (especially during the summer rush ) that would have an ? i li ui, ci i. 1 in nave lius iuii time secretary V,ve to increase our revenue we t rnll im a hiir memhershiD. One man cannot do this; the matter of memberships will always be com mittee work. We must not get the idea that with a full time Secretary we can sit down and do nothing. While the discussion of any mat ter that means reduction of revenue may be impolitic, knowing the many other demands made upon our mer chants, hotels, and other business men, I am not in favor of asking any one to take 10 memberships. I be lieve the burden should be more evenly distributed. Instead of having 119 members we should have 1000, which would lighten the burden on those holding 10 memberships and at same time in crease our revenue. I believe the next five years will witness a growth for Hendersonville equal to the past 10 years. As this is probably the last time Mr. Bland will appear before us as President, and the last opportunity I will have, as Secretary, to bring this to your attention, I feel it my pleasure and duty to' speak of the services rendered by our President. But few of us will ever know what Mr. Bland has done for our organiza tion and our town. Not for the past year, but for the past three years President Bland has sacrificed busi ness and personal affairs for the good of Hendersonville. After serving 'as President during 1919; in 1920, due to fact that our President and Vice President left town, Mr. Bland was recalled to lead us, and again pressed into service for the past year. His work should be appreciated by all. I would also mention the good work done by S. Maxwell in putting over our White Way. Also the committee work done by the Messrs. Ewbank, Penny, Rozzellc, Stillwell and others. We should outline a program for our work for the future. Keeping up the work and sentiment for good roads, let us support the new golf grounds and do what we can to make that self-supporting. Then we must increase-our membership, get all the financial help possible from, the City Council; then being able to have a full time paid Secretary, let us go after the Northern business and make this something more than a three months 'town. In conclusion let me say my work for the brgariization has been a K pleasure, and that I have been fully . r compensated; for my services, the ' - Board of Trade is under no obliga . tion to me. If I have "been of some service to my community, it has been a ; pleasure, , I will thank the President to ap- Doint some-one to' audit my ac- counts. A. S. TRUEX ALLEN RHODES, CHAIRMAN NEAR EAST RELIEF FUND Allen Rhodes of the First Bank and Trust Co., of Hendersonville, has been appointed chairman for the Near East Relief in Henderson County according to an announce ment from Raleigh by Col.

TO THE WEATHERMAN We have seen many protein ar tists in our city during all these years, but none of them can compare with you in making: quick changes and in assuming various roles with in a short time. If inconsistency was a towel, you'd be 4t whole turkish bath, and if va riety is the spice of life, you're the entire West Indies crop. Basketball Team Organized, Minstrel and Other Activities Are Planned by Local Pott. A well represented membership of the Hubert M. Smith Post of the American Legion met on last Friday night in their new club rooms over Patterson's Department store, this being the first meeting of the new year. A number of important matters were discussed. One of the first mat ters to come up before the meeting was whether it would be advisable for the Metropolitan Shows to come to this city for a week or so under the auspices of the American Legion. W. M. Logan, promoter for the Metropolitan Shows presented his proposition in person to the legion at this meeting stating some of the wonders of this famous show, and also told how he had helped many different organizations to raise money and how he could help the legion to raise money. After Mr. Logan had presented his proposition several of the members expressed themselves very frankly on the mat ter referring to former instances of this kind. After the proposition had taken up quite a bit of time the mem bers came to the conclusion that for this show to come to our city under the auspices of the American Legion was . not the proper thing. Al though it was believed by the mem bers that this show was above the average, morally and otherwise. But the undivided opinion of the legion was that this was not the proper un dertaking for an organization hold ing God and Country as the ir motto. One of the next important mat ters was the organizing of a basket ball team, which is expected to stage several good games before the basket ball season closes. The main objects of this team are to keep up enthus iasm among the legion members and to furnish a little amusement for the basketball fans. Although this post has a credit able membership, it is the undivided opinion of the members that every ex-service man of Henderson county should become a member of the post. As a result the commander appointed a committee to do some canvassing and see if more members cannot be enrolled. For the amusement of the public and the benefit of the legion a com mittee was appointed to investigate the possibilities of staging some kind of a "show" within the next few weeks. The nature of this show has not been - decided upon but it will the "American Legion Minstrel When it comes to blowing bubbles or building air castles the legion is not different from other organizations or individuals, as a number of the members expressed their wishes that they hoped the legion could some time own a club-house of its own (ene specially arranged and con st .in led fr "sure enough" club room O . As a ii inber of important matters are pressing at this time the com mander called a special meeting for tonight (Friday 13th) urging all members to be .present and bring a new member with them. BIND ENGLISH OVER FOR MANSLAUGHTER P. W. English, of this city was bound over to Superior court, March term, under bond of $5,000 after hearing before Judge Guy Weaver in police court Tuesday morning on a charge of manslaughter. English's car ran over and fatally injured Miss Kathleen Wyatt, 19-year old nurse at St. Joseph's hospital, several days ago. The accident oc curred shortly after 10 o'clock, di rectly in front of the hospital, on Biltmore avenue, after Miss Wyatt had alighted from a street car. Death followed a little more than two hours'. Bond was made by English for his appearance before March Superior court. Mr. English is known here as a young man of good character, is steady and hardworking and those who know him are firm in their be lief that the accident was unavoid able. BOARD TRADE MEMBERS Following the usual custom next week this paper will carry a full list of the Board of Trade members for the year 1921 who are in good stand ing, having paid their dues in full. It is the earnest hope of the Treasurer that delinquent members will send in any balance that may be due for 1921. A. S. TRUEX, Treasurer Board Trade BIG BUFFALO DIES IN BARBED WIRE FENCE A large female buffalo of the herd in the Mount Pisgah game enclosure was found dead recently, by a war den. The big cow had become en tangled in the barbed wire fence, broke her leg, lacerated her body in the wire, and died, helpless, on the spot. This reduces the herd to four. The buffaloes had been doing well during the winter and apparently were at last well acclimated. Pre serving the herd brought here from New Hampshire three years ago, has been a discouraging task. Elk in the park are thriving. Members of Board of Trade Hold Banquet at Hodgewell; J O. Bell Elected President.
