COMMUNITY SINGING
 ON OCTOBER 18th

Friday night at the meeting of the joint committee from the B. Y. P. U. Christian Endeavor and Epworth Lea que it was decided to continue the monthly joint entertainments of the three young peoples societies. The first entertainment which was given two weeks ago at the Methodist church under auspices of these three societies proved such success that it was then decided that the next pro- gram should be community singing which has become so popular at the various army camps. The committee appointed Mrs. Roberta Miller as leader for the evening and authorized her to select any number of leaders for the singing which she might deem needed. Dr. c. P. Bridewell was nam ed to speak on "Our National Anthem and What We Should Do When It Is Being Sung" The songs that every body knows, like "Dixie", Arkansas" l" and Star Spangled Banner" will be sung by those present. The next pro- gram will be rendered at the First Baptist Church, Friday evening, at 8 o'clock, October 19, 1917.
 This singing is not just for those who are accomplished singers, but fol all who wish to sing and it will be con. ducted very much like the good ole fashioned country singing conventions
 Everybody is cordially invited Bring your singing along and leave your money in the banks.
