Good Program For
Better Homes Week
MUSIC HAS IMPORTANT
PLACE in THE HOME
Discussion Of This Subject Will Be
One OF Features OF Better
Homes Week.

The home where the spirit of de-
votion and unselfshness prevails can
hardley be possible without good mu-
sic, according to Mrs. Edgar Stillman
Kelley, president of the National Fed
Grafton of Music Clubs. In an article
en- Emusic in the Home" in the cur
rent issue of the Child Welfare Maga-
zine, which is devoted entirely to the
Better Homes in America campaign,
Mrs. Kelley writes interestingly on
this subject.
No longer is it absolutely essential
that there be musical talent in the
family for the enjoyment of home
music of a high order, Mrs. Kelley
points out in her article. Her article
says:
"The admirable new inventions Of
superior mechanical musical insEru-
ments make it possible nowadays to
bring even the Symphony and the
String quartette to the bonneville
radio when it's musical messages are
freed from aerial interference - will
literally envelop every home in mu-
sical atmosphere.
However," she continues, nothing
will ever take the place of personal
music making upon the various avail
able instruments from the mouth or
gan to the pipe organ, or the grand
riano-not omitting the human voice,
one of the most perfect tone-produc-
ing mediums.
every lovely, indeed, it is when diff
ferent members of the family are able
to sing together both secular and sa-
cred music as occasion demands. The
various high-grade publishing houses
can supply the printed pages best
suited for this purpose. Among the
rare editions of very simple and valu-
able piano pieces is series of ar
rangements of the worlds best clas-
sizes in the field of symphony chamber
music opera and solo numbers which
have been prepared by Godowsky for
the smallest hands. Even the read
ing over of these pieces would bring
into the home much Of the beautiful
thematic material of the best music
of all countries.
"In closing, I repeat that the title
of this article should be changed
from Music in the Home to Good
Music in the Home It. is a we'll
known fact that the world at large
often errs in the choice between a
poisonous or nutritive mushroom, and
it is also true that the heads of fami-
lies are unable to choose music that
will build up the musical appreciation
of the child instead of bringing into
the home via record or radio, that
whichwill vitiate the taste and lower
the moral standards of both old and
young"

Mrs. Lednum was the daughter Of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Whitby,
and was born at Ridgeley, Caroline
county, Sd years ago. She lived con-
ftinuously in that section until her re-

Mrs Lednum was one of Pocomoke's
most highly esteemed women, and
universal regret is expressed at her
death. She was a great sufferer, and
everything was done to prolong her
life, but she did not respond to treat
ment. Over two years ago she under
went serious operation, which de-
veloped into the ailment that ended
her life. About seven weeks ago, she
consulted eminent advice, but her case
was beyond human skill.
The sympathy of the community is
extended to her bereaved husband and
ether relatives.

Early Morning Blaze
Wednesday, Barn Burns

About a A. NJ, Wednesday the town
was awakened by the fire siren which
called the Department out to fight
flames enveloping the barn in the rear
Of Mrs. Clarence Barnes residence.
Nothing could be done to save the
building but the boys did effective
work in preventing the spread of the
flames to adjoining houses; indeed,
they extinguished several ignitions
which would have resulted in serious
loss.
Mrs. Barnes automobile, a very
valuable machine, was among the ar
ticles burnt. It is not known just how
the fire originated. There is partia
insurance.
