CONCERT At

mas Program of
Song

Sunday afternoon at the AL.
Ringing theatre the fifth concert
by the Baraboo Community Singers
delighted a large audience. Pro
lessor e. B. Gordon of Madison di-
rected the chorus as in the past
and his remarkable gifts in this
particular never were more mani

Joined in the singing of several
we'll known Christmas carols in
Guiding the lovely Silent Night
which Professor Gordon spoke of
as the most beautiful Christmas
song in existence.
The program included numbers
from Gounod, Mendelssohn and
other we'll known musical authors
closing with that glorious compost
ton known the world over and
sung in numberless localities every
Christmas tide, the Hallelujah
Chorus from the oratorio of The
Messiah by Handel.
The second number on the pro-
gram was given by the High School
Girls Glee Club and the fourth by
group of singers from the fifth
and sixth grades under the direc.
ton of their teacher, Miss Leila
Stillman. The singing of the
young people was delightful por-
ton OF the program and gives rich
promise for future musical appre
citation in Baraboo.
This Christmas festival of song
has come to be SO much part OF
the Christmas celebration of the
community, that the people would
feel the city had lost her browning
expression of JOY in the season
were its activities stilled.> The
idea of the organization originated
with the Kiwanis club Through
the interest and public spirit OF
the Misses Gattiker, Professor Cor
don was induced to conduct it and
it is through the continued interest
of these and through the enthusi
assn and faithful attendance of the
members that Baraboo enjoys the
Christmas concert and Easter pro
gram each year
1t is a fine thing in the city. May
it go on forever.

A conference with members of
the state highway commission by
local officials was related by Aid
erman r. w. Prothero and Mayor
Adolph andre. Thes conference
was in Madison relative to state
aid for the construction of the
Oak street bridge, possibly in

expenses of the bridge construc-
ton and the county the other half.
The county then has the right to
assess the city a reasonable pro-
portion of its share in the expen-
SEES. In the event that an over
head bridge across the North
western tracks is decided on, in
all probability the railroad would
hear some of the expenses of the
construction, it was thought.
Those who appeared before the
commission included the follow
ing: Mayor Adolph andre, Super
