The colored community in music Is
| a chapter in itself. The music Of the
| colored people is the one national
music that America may claim.
These musical circles OF Washington
are keeping alive their rich heritage
Of folklore, and are developing the
real ability OF their people in dra-
matte work, in choruses. orchestras.
and in the many fields OF artistic ex-
preston that is coming into it's own
through the encouragement given by
cooperative endeavor.

of the entire community in music

through the Community Centers OF
the Public Schools" and also in the
Community Service" activities among
the colored people, that is soon to
have a Community home of its own

streets.
Washington still has it's problem
for caring for many hundreds of
strangers-both civilian and men lin
service-that Community Music is in
large part solving.
These many people who have no
home ties in Washington are still
needing a social as we'll as a recrea'
tional outlet. The community should
appreciate this fact and>Uo its part
in sustaining these efforts. Only those
who have been privileged to look
inside these works know how great
has been the service.
