While here this week, Mr. Knight renewed acquaintances with friends he knew when he wan a school boy here. He spoke of the time when one of hta teachers In the Waynea-vllle school gave him some advice which has been of great help to him. He said that he had been in the habit of sllrhtlng some of his school work and taking up his time In drawing cartoons of his class mates, and perhaps some his teachers.

He waa mildly reprimanded one time for it, but his teacher told him that his pictures were good and that perhaps he would be able some day to make a good thing of his talent as a cartoonist; but what he needed at that time was to study history, literature, and English grammar, which would give him the breadth he would need in cartoon work.

Ottls Green, president, Aahoville Chamber of Commerce, said: "Ashevilie people should remember that the Comunity chest campaign Is not for merely one organization, but la to finance the activities of 11 of our welfare agencies for the ensuing year, I believe that if this were borne in mind, the peopl would substantially increase their subscriptions. Saves Effort 'If It were not for the Community Chest, we would have 11 separate campaigns for funds each year Instead of only one. The Community Chest provides a competent, business administration of the af-lalra of these agencies, to prevent not only waste In operating cost but to eliminate duplication of effort. The Community Cheat and Its member agencies constitute one of the moat valuable assets which we have, it would be a grevious misfortune If the full goal 1a not attained. Charles A.

Webb, president of the Ashevilie Cltlzen-Tlmes company, declared "The 11 agencies which are financed through the Community Chest are indispensable to this community. They are Just as necessAry a part of this city as our municipal government. If they were disbanded or gravely crippled In their usefulness by seriously Inadequate support, this community would sustain a grievous loss, a loss which, reckoned In dollars and cents, would for exceed the money now noccssnry to keep them actively and, helpfully alive. Requests Very Modest "The amount of money which Is sought for their support during 1935 overestimates neither their needs nor the community's capacity to give. All citizens who are familiar with the work; of these organizations know that their financial requests are very modeBt and that these agencies cannot continue to do their highly useful work If they are forced to cut their budgets still further.

Bide shows, consisting of freaks, fortune tellers, and refreshment booths, were on the mid-way and a program by Rtudcnt and others was presented string music waa furnished by Ed Queen and daughter. Stella, Frunk Carrlnger, Kufus Holland, and others. The program was In charge of Mrs. tivities. 'To my mind there Is no more serious moral obligation resting upon as lndlvldiiRla than providing the necessary funds for this Important work.

"Ashevilie people have alwnvs met every emergency with which we have been faced and I believe they will do so in this emergency," The Ilev. Dr. R. F. Campbell, pastor of the First Presbyterlnn church said: "It la hardly conceivable that the people of Ashevilie will allow those Institutions that stand for the building and conservation of character to lack adequate support.

The material Interests of the community are Important but the moral Interests are of vastly greater Importance. "Surely when the facts Indicating what is yet needed for the Community Chest are set beforo the people there will be a liberal response to the appcAl constituted by these fact." Mayor Wickes Wamboldt declared: "Those relief agencies and character building Institutions which, through the Community Chest, are now seeking financial support from the people of Ashevilie are not ellifl-ble to receive awlstance from the federal emergency relief administration. If they are to be supported they must be supported by private contributions. "Should the Community Chest campaign be allowed to fail the effect upon the morale of the community would be unfortunate from many different angles. And should there be wldecpread announcement that Ashevilie had fallen down in this drive our city would rocclvo harmful publicity.

"Ashevilie has gulned a nation-wide reputation of having held her nervo and kept her pluck In the face of almost overwhelming adversity, She has earned universal admiration for having maintained hpr institutions and kept herself going where other cities similarly placed would have collapsed. "It la my opinion that the Community Chest campaign effort should be continued and extended In one way or another until the goal la reached."
