Mrs. Cecil Hawley spent the week
end with friends in Albany.
Friday night was marked by tho
number and variety of unique school
entertainments, given throughout the
vicinity at the different school houses,
observing Washington birthday by
a host of novel programs, OF more than
passing interest was the one given at
Liberty by the Liberty school, COM
bining an evening of genuine enjoy
ment for the audience which crowded
the local hall to capacity, and a most
remunerative Red Gross benefit, which
netted proceeds of $500.
The Qualifications opened with a ca.
feteria supper served by the school,
followed by a decidedly entertaining
program, including a wide range of
songs, drills and general selections
given by the pupils A significant fea-
ture was the talk given by Walter A.
Denton of Salem, who cOmplimented
the townspeople on their up to date
school, its recent improvements, and
the broadening character of the com.
munity life which they are fostering
so energetically Mr.. Denton S remarks
on the pressing needs of the Red Cross
organizations and of war relief activi-
ties in general found a hearty response
among the audience, who for some
time past have been making their lit
tie local center, a dynamo Of forceful
endeavor in stimulating enthusiasm
and practical assistance in answer to
the vital, war wants of the day.
A large share of the success of the
benefit entertainment may be placed
to the credit of Miss Catherine Fowle,
one Of the teachers, who was assisted
by Mr.. Arnold, the principal of the
Liberty school and Mrs Robbins, also
a teacher in the school.
The members of st. Agnes Guild of
st. Paul s Episcopal church will hold
their regular meeting tonight at the
home of Mrs. L. C. Shipley, 245 North

COMMUNITY CHORUS.
Interest Grows With Each Succeeding
Weekly Rehearsal.

The more the local Community Chorus
rehearses the greater becomes the interest.
This n not so with every new idea, LOT
often. Az soon as the new edge Is worn OH,
tie idea becomes Hat
The local chorus has made wonderful
progress under Harry Barnhart and the
great outdoor "sing' that he ~ TO direct
will no doubt be the largest affair ~ its
kind ever held in Wilmington.
Americans have never yet discovered
q hundredth part of the possibilities oi
popular music. They have never had
bands play daily in the public squares OF
their cities They have never met
together, naturally and often, IN open
places to sing songs expressive of national
enthusiasm and pride. They have, IN
deed. MS vet no accepted body of national
music and the fine simplicity OF which 's
worthy to he the lasting expression oi the
patriotism of great people,
All this America ought To have. NJ
n time like the present, and through coming
months of strain, 1T would mean much 10
the nation To he able to cheer and strength
en- it's sarit by great, instructive soul
refreshing bursts OF music.
More than any movement hitherto
started in this country, the Community
Chorus has shown Americans the way
Ia musical sell ll-expression. 1t has appeal
cd to them simply and directly: II has
not made them shy 10y presenting them,
with patronixing insastence, to "cla'ssic
cornrsscrs' H. has raised no question
OF musical training or even AFFINITY I"
rpad muse IL has asked no ices or dues
II has merely invited ''all who desire To
sing for the pure Joy OF singing TO come
and lo,n in "Old Black Joe" and The
"sSwanee Rive" have had full rights along
with 'eThe Messiah" and ''rhe Creation.
For these reasons the community music
movement has offered and still offers the
best hope Of providing the American
national hsartswith a means of immaculate,
spontaneous, deeply popular musical
exnressslnn. H. also offers tn American
composers the hroadost opportunity, Tor
uIpplying the true, simple, heart-reaeh'ne
music which the American spirit IN It's tame
of trial needs In both directions 1t is
capable Of producing great nanohal
benefits during an epoch OF war
