ROBERTS PLANS
THIRD ANNUAL

Elaborate preparations are being
made for the third annual band con
cert and dance to be given in the
Community Hall at Roberts on the
evening of March H., under the aus
pices Of the Carbon County Band of
Roberts. The musical program to be
rendered by the band is composed of
both popular and classical selections.
1t is doubtful if there is town in the
state the size of Roberts that has a
musical organization that will even
approach the Carbon County Band
when it comes to real merit. G. e.
Hudson, its conductor, is a recognized
musician and band conductor and
when he organized the band at Rob
erts he used much care in the selec-
ton and training Of its personnel and
he is more than half responsible for
the high standing It has taken among
the musical organizations Of its kind
in this section Of the state.
It's personnel is as follows: Solo
Cornet, James Hunter-first cornet,
Alfred Heikkila- second cornet, Os-
