Fairfield Boys Band
Proving Successful

The Fairfield Boys Band, which
was organized about a year ago, has
had remarkable progress under the
competent leadership of Harry j.
Libby. The membership in this band
is open to any boy in town who can
secure an instrument. After joining
he can receive free instructions two
evenings each week, which offers the
boys a splendid opportunity to learn
to play some instrument.
The band is supported from what
money the boys can obtain from
their playing and contributions
which have been made by their
friends. At the present time the fund
in the treasury is low and they are
badly in need of funds to pay their
musical instructor and also to pur-
chase new music.
A number of leading citizens are
planning drive this week for that
purpose and the committee is COM
posed of the following members:
George n. Smell, Warren SWEET,
worth Greenleaf. John Eastman.
Augustus Burke, Arthur Savage and
Lester Glazier. Contributions may

''Inasmuch as the Supreme Court
