= Il
Editor Missoulian We believe the
community singing is one of the best
things that has been started in Mis-
sonla for long time. but we would
like to suggest Il few improvements
which might be made. We were told
that 500 people were turned away
last Sunday. Yet there were fully five
hundred small children occupying
seats. Some Of these children were
too young to read or get any benefit
from the service. The other children
ali have training In the public schools.
The people who were turned away
probably have no other opportunity to
sing.
We do not believe children should
be allowed to occupy all the best seats
In the boxes and throw spit balls and
newspapers on the people below. And
at the risk of being considered very
old fashioned. we will venture to say
that so much cheering and cat-callinS
