Group To Meet Today
Plans for observance of the

500 Attend
Telephone
Open House
Some 500 persons trooped
hrough the telephone company
wilding Wednesday night to see
low a long-distance call goes
inouvh, to listen to the incessant
dicks in the equipment room, to
vetch a cable-splicing demonstrat
ion involving thousands of wires
?and lo eat 75 dozen cookies,
drink uncounted cups of coffee and
lottled drinks, received souvenirs
elephone key-rings, and generally
itake themselves at home in the
immaculate modern building of
.he local exchange.
Last night's open house program
ivill be repeated this evening be
.ween 6:30 and 9:00 o'clock and a
general '.nvitation has been extend
ed to residents of this area and the
surrounding communities. Admis
sion is free.
Attracting particular interest
Wednesday night were two "gad
jets" not, strictly speaking, part
af the telephone set-up. One was
i "voice mirror," which played
bark the visitor's voice to enable
him to hear himself as others hear
liim. <The result was generally
disillusioning.) Another was a
'tic-tac-toe machine" utilizing the
same relays as the telephone sys
tem. A few souls managed to tie
their mechanical adversary, but
everybody learned that "you can't
beat the machine."
No part of the exchange is omit
ted in the tours conducted through
jut the building, and even the
parking lot is used to display three
different types of trucks with their
equipment.

Director Of
C.ofC. k
Considered
a.
The directors of the Chamber of
Commerce took under considera
non Tuesday night, the proposal
if employing a full-time director
af promotion for the organization.
President John Johnson, said he
felt the work, of the organization
would never attain its fullest po
tentials until a full-time person
is emploved for the promotion of
projects, which are needed
No definite action was taken, al
though officers are conferring
with other Chambers of Commerce
nn the inauguration of such a
plan.
The directors went on record as
opposing the early opening date of
school. "This defeats the very idea
which we are spending so much
money in trying to get the season
lengthened," James L. Kilpatrick
said.
James W, Fowler. Jr.. superin
tendent of Lake Junaluska. pointed
to the hardship eases of where
students were employed on sum
mer jobs, and these students had
to return to school before the of
ficial end of the season.
President Johnson named as a
committee to confer with the
schoolmasters club, in an effort to
work out a later opening date for
next year: James W. Fowler. Jr.,
Dr. Boyd Owen, James L. Kilpat
rick. and H. P. MeCarroll.
Charles Hay, a director of the
Carolina Motor Club, was author
ized to invite the Club's board of
directors to meet here next fall.
The group is meeting this weekend
in Charleston. There are 30 to 40
who attend the fall meetings, Mr.
Hay reported.
President Johnson named James
\V Fowler. James Kilpatrick and
Charles Ray on a committee to
