Gently among it's members and
about one of it's first acts was to
ask their secretary-treasurer
Jesse j. Tromanhauser, to di,
rect communication to the
White Bluffs Community Club
and through the Club to express
the Bands appreciation for the
moral and financial support the
community has given the Band.
Mr.. Tromanhauscr is responsible
for the following which was di.
rccted to the Community Club
and was handed to the Spokes-
man for publications:
Sec'y White Bluffs Community
Club.
White Bluffs, Wash,
Dear Sir.
We have arrived at a time
when the place in which we live
has In it an organization which
a small community can be proud
of, namely, The White Bluffs
Band.
1t was only thru the moral and
financial support Of our many
public spirited citizens which
made the project materially sue
cessful, prompted by the fact
that we are favored with except
ional talent and lovers of music.
We are very fortunate to have
in our immediate midst, con-
genial, agreeable character, Mr..
Il. A. English, whose accomplish
ments, selfdenial and sacrifice
in furthering public interest
must not be overlooked. AS Di-
rector, we owe our rapid pro
gress in instructions; our ease in
grasping the work, only thru
mild but forceful training.
1t would not be well to ignore
the majority of the members
who are placing themselves re-
sponsible for a valuable instru-
ment and who have resolved to
learn it so as to make it possible
for the community to possess a
band. 1t is these we must admire,
who find it difficult to afford the
time and money for such a cause;
realizing that it means incon-
venience and sacrifice to make q
success of this venture.
We are very proud to have
with us, members who have play
ed in prominent well-known
bands, men who understand
music and who are willing to
assist the beginners in their
work. This, alone harbors the
moral of our organization, which
is a profound necessity.
Last, but not least, we are
very grateful to the Community
Club; The Sponsor of the Band,
whose efforts have been thu
cause of this young organization
and i'm our first step, we take this
as a ways and means of extend
ing our appreciation and thank
fulness for the time and laborf
expended, and while on the rocky
roads of the future, may we feel
that a spreading wing OF the
Community Club is over us, as
we will need support, encourage
ment and patience.
Respectfully submitted bJ
unanimous vote of band mem

tend the territorial jurisdiction OF

shore.
such q method of gaining our
point, one high spokesman for the

Permanent and general extension OF
