due to the finicancial condition of |
Decatur no advantage can be taken
of that despite the fact that the I
average citizen would agree to the j
proposal.
At the present time the local band
enjoys the best organization, the
best interest, more young boys learn- ‘
ing to play and more chances to
make a permanent going organize-
tion than it has any time in the past. ’
It is felt that it would truly be a
misfortune if the band were allowed
to collapse now, inasmuch as t„..
band is filled with new material, i
confronts a good future and that j
arrangements are possible for stated
weekly opeq air concerts throughout ‘
the summer. Considering all the'
circumstances and the constant pop- ’jut -
ularity of a band organization in De- [ !An . y‘ '/Lw,s.:. „ .
catur, an effort is to be made to keep i oaKlas, Melvin Crisp,
the enterprise going. An appeal will
be made for wholesale support,
taking every man, woman and young-
ster who may be induced to make
the very small monthly or quarterly
contributon that a large subscribing
population will make feasible. Sup-
port the band when you are asked
for your small mite and help to
keep a beneficial organization in
action.
DEATH OF LEONARD H. FOX
