Encourage the Orchestra.

FL Paso's High school orchestra viii make its first
public appearance Friday evening and FL Pasoans should
lend encouragement to the pupils by attending The
Herald believes the orchestra should have made Its
initial bow big free concert, but since this IS not
the case The Herald believes the music lovers should
attend anyhow the admission fee is small and IT IS foT
d good cause-to aid the athletic association OF the
school
FL Paso ought to feel proud of the organization
of such aggregation Of young musicians in the city
and should give them encouragement and support
The orchestra should, if properly encouraged, grow
into something that should add many pleasant hours
to the social life of the city Besides teaching the
boys and girls the rudiments Of and love for real
music the orchestra is designed to afford pleasure
to many of their youthful associates and elders Out

telegraphed attractive offer by large south
western city school board and he consequently tried
TO get his release from the Ell Paso board but that
organization would not hear of il; consequently Mr.

It is of the most worthy charities The Herald
knows of and that ought to be encouraged, for
what is better than to make boy or girl happy on

law amended so that the punishment
for first degree negligent homicide
would be from two to 10 years in the

to exceed two years There is no
greater crime than ruthlessly running
down a pedestrian and leaving him to
his fate, but IL is impossible, under
the statutes as they stand today. to
