tunity. every two weeks, to hear the
big pipe organ in the auditorium. The

Dean Whitehouse and Commission
err w. L. Porter have had these con-
certs in mind for some time. 1t is
planned to ask in other local musicians
to assist in the rogram at each of the
concerts The promoters are not ex-
pecting to jam the auditorium at each
concert but they do expect a good at
tendance by music loving people. The
Washburn Glee club will probably be
asked to assist in one or more of the
programs. The auditorium pipe organ
is one of the largest and best in this
