To Back Tobacco Market
Very Encouraging Response
Made in Raising Fund
for Increasing Sales
Locally
CONTRIBUTORS WILL
MEET NEXT MONDAY
Definite Plans of Procedure
To Be Outlined At That
Time; Not Nearly All of
Prospects Have Been Seen
As Yet for Contributions to
Campaign.
A must encouraging response from
♦he business community wss met with '
by solicitors who combed the city yes
terday for pledges of financial coop
eration in a movement to put forward
the Henderson tobacco market dur
ing the coming season, reports in
dicated at a meeting of the workers
held last night. One group reported
only one outright refusal, and most
concerns willingly offered, the a
mounts they had .been asked to suh.
scribe to the pool for publicizing the
market for the 1935-36 selling season.
Several thousands of dollars were
pledged during the day’s canvass, and
not all of the prospects had been seen j
itw as stated. Tentative amounts con- |
sidered assured, but which had to
wait for outside approval before he
coming definite, will raise the totals
to much higher figures, it was ex
plained
Announcement was made of a meet
ing called Monday evening
of all contributors. At that time a
definite organization will be perfect- |
ed and officers elected Committees !
will be named to handle various an
gles of the program, and particularly
with reference to the advertising cam
paign that is contemplated.
H is anticipated that all prospects
will be seen by that time, and that
the committee by then will have a
fairly accurate figure in hand ojj
which to base their plans for spend
ing. The movement is to get going im
mediately. and the organization will
not wait until the time for the mar
ked to open to push their plans.
ST. JOHN’S DAY AT
OXFORD ON JUNE 22
Announcement has been made from
the Oxford Orphanage at Oxford that j
the annua. St. John’s Day celebra- |
tion there this year will be on Satur- !
day. June 22 The historic day is
June 24. but the intervention of Sun
day and the necesisty of making pre
parations on the Sabbath, presumably,
was the reason for the holding of the
aniversary on the previous Saturday.
The event usually attracts Masons
and the public generally from many
parts of the State, and is expected to
do so this year. No announcement
has been made as yet as to the pro
gram to be offered.
