4, because an important parsonage

sibility of putting on musical festi-
val at some point in the tableland,

various communities in the tableland
helping to organize and train local
groups for the final joint festival in
August, Bushrod Grimes, secretary,
has announced.
Expenses and cost for this have
been provided and the meeting June
a is not to attempt to raise money but
to find out if the people of the table
land think musical festival is de-
sirable.
Music lovers everywhere are invited
to attend the meeting on June A at
1880 and to discuss with officers of the
Allegheny Tableland Association the
prospects of this venture. This means
all kinds of music, vocal, instrumental,
bands, orchestras, stringed instru-
ments, individuals and in groups. No
one will be paid for performing but If
this becomes an annual event people
will be attracted to it from long dis
tances, Mr.. Grimes said.

Forge and at Yorktown, Va, where

them home. Of the seedlings that
grew, only three are still alive. One
is planted in the garden of the Exec

others are at Washington's home at
Mount Vernon. All are full grown
trees now.
The tree which was presented to

dren" trees of the famous elm. 1t is
to be dedicated next year when it is
