Peoples Choral Union Proposed.

A meeting will be held tomorrow
Afternoon at Civic Centre hall at 3
O'Clock, for the purpose of organizing
a musical and social organization
along the line of the Peoples Choral
union of New York City.
The New York organization was
started some twenty years ago by
Frank Damrosch, and has since
grown to such proportions that the
sections Of the union now meet in
over twenty-five different halls in diff
ferent parts of the city, the entire
chorus being brought together only
when rehearsing for some civic or
national occasion of rejoicing. Today
the New York union numbers many
thousand voices.
There should be room for such an
organization in Fargo. There mus
be a number Of young people who are
at liberty on Sunday afternoon, who
should welcome an opportunity for
training In ensemble work. The So
cfety would in no wise conflict with
the work of Professor Stevens Phil
harmnic society but would rather be
preliminary to that club Inc would
really be an adjunct to it.
The plan suggested for discussion
Sunday afternoon covers a self-goV-
erning, self-supporting society, with
the prime aim of making a progress
sive study Of ensemble music begin
ming with simple works and working
along definite lines toward the more
advanced forms. .
With Sunday afternoon given over
to serious study and rehearsal, with
an occasional informal programme,
the social side of the work will be
emphasized by a social session on a
week night, onee a month or o~ftener,
which will be devoted to the "get-to-
gether' spirit. Such a chorus would
be available for civic and national
demonstrations, and combined with
the Oratorio society. would give Far
go one Of the greatest musical organ
iZations in the northwest.
1t is hoped that everybody, who is
interested in such an organization will
attend the meeting tomorrow after
Don The committee Of young peo-
pie in charge of the affair is COM
posed of Mrs. N. H. Hinkle, Miss Ray
Dodson, Miss Mabel Fanset, Roy
Drummond and F. A. Clarke. The
meeting will be addressed by Julian
f. Richards, former choirmaster Of
Gethsemane cathedral.

about $1,000, and this sum viii be
expended during The coming sum
mer IN Improving the public high

automobile licenses. Out OF each So
automobile license fee paid during

OF each license fee going 10 the state.
Jan. LIST Of this year the automo-
bile fund OF the county had reached
$1,661.75, and on Feb. LIST this had
