The minstrel is being staged to

i In musical circles it is often a
matter of interesting discussion as
I to what are the essential points that
! go to make up a really fine trio of
musicians.
/ The most important quality is
sympathy. The individual players
! who make up the trio have to be
in complete accord, not only as mus-
clans, but in all their relations with
one another there must be no fric.
ton or jealousy; either in their pub
| lie or private life. The second
essential quality is ensemble, or unity
of idea and expression during in

semble thus being the most i'm
portant factors in really great trio
how the Cherniavskys are what they
are today. Brought up side by side
taught what belongs to one belongs
tc each other, playing together not
only trios but solos, accompanied by
/ each oJher for the last 20 years, all
these factors, joined to their phen-
cmenal native talent, have combined
to produce these brilliant eXponents
of trio playing.
Their expanding intellect and de-
veloping emotions, united to their
artistic genius and musical enthus-
iasm, enable them to grasp the sub
tleties of the great masters with a
clarity that has baffled many stu
dents, who see complexity and per-
plexity where these young artists
see order and harmony
Leo, Jan and Mischief Cherniavslly
have an unusual amount of tempera-
ment, and this, rich gift, is great

, refined to understand its qualities and
power. 50 We'll under control is this
force that their ensemble work is
notable for it's restraint. It's possess
sion, together with the smoothness

three instruments, gives new
esthetic appeal to their music. And
that is one of the secrets of how
the Cherniavsky trio has fascinated
the people of many lands and has
gained the recognition of the music

New Membership Basis

"a A.
Members of the board of directors
of the Y. w. c. A. at their regular
meeting Tuesday evening formally
voted to present a possible new basis
i for voting membership in the local
Young Women's Christian association
to the community at large and for the
rejection or acceptance by the mem
bers at their annual meeting in
April.
At the present time any woman
or girl over 18 who is in sympathy
with the purpose of the association
or it's work may become general
member of the association. Voting
and board membership is limited to
those members who are also mem
bers of Protestant and Evangelical
churches. 1t is this latter clause
which the new basis of membership
seeks to modify in accord with the
right granted to the local association
at the last national convention of
the Y. W. c. A. Prior to this time,
no association except that of stu
dents could remain affiliated with
the national association unless it's
voting membership was restricted to
women who were members Of Protes-
tant Evangelical churches The new
basis would still require that three
fourths of the board members be 50
affiliated
The possibility of such change
has been noted for number OF
years and the national convention
approved it for the second time at
its biennial meeting in Milwaukee
last April, leaving to local associa-
tions sthe option of remaining on the
basis upon which they have operated
in the past or of accepting the new
plan in accordance with their several
constitutional requirements. The local
association is required by it's consti-
tuition to present such an amendment
at two successive annual meetings for
the vote of it's members
Ultimate decision for the first vote
Will of course be in the hands of
voting members, but all women in
terested in the association are urged
TO become Informed on the matter
and to consider values if such a
plan is adopted in Douglas.
The notable tendency of this age
to re-evaluate and consider carefully
things religious is evidenced in
this suggestion of making more per-
sonal and less Institution the matter
of membership in the Y. w. c. A.
There are at present 235 voting adult
members of the local association and
Is other general members.
BY the proposed basis woman
becoming a member of the association
would be required to sign the follow
ing declaration: Il desire to enter
the Christian fellowship Of the asso-
ciation I will loyalty endeavor 10
uphold it's purpose in my own life
and through my membership in the
association"
