i, The opening night Of the "Festi-

very popular and both merchants
and shoppers have expressed their
approval of the idea of such an op-

the gift merchandise available in
Ell Centre shops. Saturday accord

stated that the individual tours of
the stores made Friday had helped
greatly in deciding on gifts as well

ed for Christmas giving. However,
it is expected that unusual crowds
will visit the stores on the two Sat.
urday nights before Christmas,
when the stores will be open for
sales, and it is to carry out the hol.

the chamber Of commerce has ar.

OUR LOCAL BAND

One OF FL Centros newer organizations perhaps the
newest mas been much in the public eye for the past
week, and residents of this city are waking up to the
Iact that we now have band of which the citv NAV
well be proud IVY "'
The band is the result of an idea by Professor Hor-
ace Williams who determined that Ell Centre should
nave such musical organization, plus the assistance
OF several members who have had previous band ex-
perience and the whole-hearted cooperation of the
Dand members who have given much of their time to
the organization.
Starting only few weeks ago, the band now num-
befs between 30 and 40 members. At present it con-
sttutes no threat to the aures held by Sousas or
ganlzatlon or the famous u. S. Marine band The per-
sons knowing this best the members of the band
VINO realize that while they have made splendid pro-
gress, only continued practice and hard work will
round out the finished organization which each and
every one OF them desires the band shall be-
1t takes considerable sacrifice to purchase an nsru-
ment, give two perhaps three nights week to re-
hearsals, and respond to the many calls made on q
small town band, frequently without any expression
or appreciation, to say nothing of financial reward
The men and boys in the Ell Centro band are deserv-
ing of the wholehearted support of the community.
Some of them business men who can i'll afford to
give up so much of their time, except for their love
OF music and their desire to do something for Ell Gen.
tro we have all been youngsters and we know what
means to subject ones self to discipline and nstruc
tion during the juvenile period.
Those who have known of the band only through ac.
counts in the paper agreeably surprised at it's
ime showing and excellent playing several occas-
ions last week. With the Legion drum and buge corps
1t gives the city two musical organizations of which
can be proud and which it should be glad to support.

THE MEN WHO DO THINGS

The story writers who picture business and military
leaders who really do things as square- -awed, fist
pounding, bu-voced indviduals-quick of action and
emphatic Of purpose-are all wrong
Take it from Colonel Leonard p. Ayres of Cleveland
o. He is vice president of the Cleveland Trust Com
pany and of the nations most celebrated ex-
perts business. He chief statistcian of the A.
+. F. during the Thus Colonel Ayres is in position
to know the leaders in both of these fields
Addressing convention the other day, Colonel
Ayres recalled many of the and business leaders
with whom he is acquainted and declared that not one
of them is the fre-eaer that is usually pictured In
stead, his experience has proved the who
plish the most of the quiet, unassumng type who
their brains more than their voices.
There dashng leaders in commerce or in war
he said 1t is the unassuming person-perhaps just
little bit bashful but nevertheless thinking all the
while-who does the most to whip the enemy in
and the business competitor in peace.
Thus, it seems that the moral of all this is: Never
mistake noise for ability real ability needs no theatres
to advertise it because the best advertisement
can have is the ability to get results.

NEW AIR PROBLEM

The recent crash of an airplane on roof in the
heart of New York City, in which the pilot was killed
and his passenger escaped by parachute leap, has
brought to mind again problem that threatens to be-
come increasingly serious time goes
Certainly air travel expands and the number OF
planes in the sky increases expect more of these
dangerous crashes in thcky populated city districts
unless preventive steps are taken. Thus menace
to life and limb like the traffic problem brought by the
automobile appears inevitable unless the situation is
met now.
Every city should have adequate laws to protect itself
against this new from the sky. One plane fall
ing into the heart of theatre crowd, for example,
might kill and main scores of persons. Then, OF
course adequate steps would at be taken to pre-
vent the recurrence of such catastrophe.
But why not prevent it from happening the first
time?
