MINERS To SING
| WELSH SONGS

In spite OF the fact that yesterday
was a holiday and there were all
sorts of exciting things navigating
| the wave lengths--the evening will
bring to loud speakers programs of
equal meritorious potential and will
give the holiday week-enders an adj
ditional reason for being glad to be
| home.
There will be two rather interest
| ing things on the outer wave lengths
| that might be mentioned at the top
| OF the column-the new series OF
Edison Hours from WRNY and a
choral endeavor of WIP. each of
which has promise of unusual in

be heard beginning at 2 o'clock, and
| it Is the purpose OF the director to
| produce a program each week which
| will emphasize the value of some
special orchestral instrument. No in
dication is given in this weeks an
/ nouncement Of the instrument to be
starred tonight. But any sort of a
concert which attempts to show the
values Of the various instruments Is
interesting. 80 1t makes little differ
ence what the basis of tonight's pro-
gram is.

particularly of choral music--is in

result that many fine songs have
come from that country and many
fine singers.
