DIRECTOR AND W1FK HF.RK Mr. and Mrs. Marshall M. Harthol omew, the former being director of the Yale Glee Club, which gave a concert in A sheville Monday night, spent Sunday night in Waynesville on , route to Ashoville, While bore they expressed themselves as .being favorably impressed with this town. They were at the H otel Le'Faine while here. The Waynesville Chamber ' of Commerce is sponsor ing a "Try At Home; First" campaign, which will be for an indefinite period, and during Which time every effort will be made to impress the buying public with the im .portance of "trying at home first." ; In beginning the campaign, the. board of directors discussed the matter at length, and the fact was stressed that it was not a point of selfishness in trying to keep the business at home, but a matter of civic pride and good business for the community. ' ' A conservative estimate, based upon a close check-up shows that between $15,000 and $20,000 each month goes out of town for merchandise and sen-ices that were available in Waynesville. This staggering amount going away from the community monthly, is cause for serious thought, one director stated. "If this continues," he said, "within a year almost a quarter of a million dollars will have been sent to other communities which should have remained in Waynesville. In the end our schools, churches and everything in the town will have suffered." Plans are underway to make a survey and check-up on the different so urces through which money is spent in other communities. Each individual is requested to "Try At Home First" before spending money out of town, J Certified Bill Of Changes In Collect ing Taxes Received 1). A.
