(From tht Kantat CU Journal.)
Secretary of Labor Davis advocates the cre
ation of a federal bureau of recreation to de-
velop music and drama in the United States.
He favors particularly the small town band.

a Marion musics segregation "m the days when
he was just beginning to' develop the -character

Much may be aaid of the small- town band
and the part ir play ia community life. But
the sorry fact remain that small town band
are neglected. : The truth must be faced that
they play good music very badly and poor music
only fairly well. The instruments are poorly
balanced and harmony is sometimes lacking.
The playera are martyrs to a noble cause. If
every village in the country had a band- which
it could call its own on whose maintenance
it wa liberal ia spending money and in whoa
perpetuation it took an alert interest one of
th most 'necetsary need of American lift
would be met. Perhaps Secretary Davis' plan
