THE EISTEDDFOD MOVENENT

The Press hopes the idea of a valey-wide eistedd-
Tod VIII take hold here. Why eisteddtod? Because
this great national musical festival developed through
centuries IN Wales, is the most democratic and adapt
able form of recreational activity that people
engage H. 1t comes from the ground up and is not
sentIally superimposed upon community. 1t grows
out OF an elemental need in every mans soul for an
emotional outlet.
Says George Eastman, famous multi-monaire
kodak manufacturer. who has just added S3,000000
to his original endowment of $2,450000 of the Eastman
School of Music at Rochester. 4 am not musician.
come pretty near being miserable moron, because
unable to whistle tune, to carry a tune, or to
remember tune But love to listen to music and
in listening I've to think it necessary part of
life. In other words, for well rounded life
must have music Furthermore, music offers the best
way of using time As leisure increases through short
ening work hours the of music becomes and
necessary. There are no drawbacks to music.
You can't have too much of it. There is residual
bad effect, like over indulgence in other things.
Now we have more or less knowledge of music
and carry heavy load of tunes but we doubt
if could have expressed the for music we'll
as Mr.. Eastman has done, and certainly we could not
endow Imperial Valley eisteddfod with s3O00,000.
We believe however there is real demand, on the
part Of few music lovers, for and better music
There may be an inartculae need the part of many
others, and the extent of this need is just what the
newly organized Ell Centro esteddfod proposes to find
out.
Why the name eisteddfod, which is hard to spell,
harder say and harder still to remember? Because
it stands for big idea The Welsh people developed
it and why shouldn't they keep the credit for 1t?
Esteddfod stands for the Development through the
medium of ntercommunity contests not only of music
but of any and all of the other arts handicrafts
There is nothing that you find enjoyment in doing,
whether it be writing verses dancing singing making
sealing wax hatpins raising flowers that cannot
come into the eisteddfod plan 1t is for amateurs,
dilitantes buffers and plain you and 1t offers
incentive for everybody to get out and have fun rid
ing his or her particular hobby
Another thing Don't get the idea that the els
teddfod is trying put any existing organization out
of business. Nothing could be further from the truth
1t should be cooperative agency and if it is developed
to its logical outcome, clearing house for the recre
ational activities Of the valley
