Clarifies National Rules
Miss Belle Menus, Junior club coun-

rulings on the student musician and
young artist events from which win
ners may be advanced to district and
national competition.
Student musician contests are
sponsored to prepare those who are
not yet ready for q concert career for
subsequent young artists contests.
These contests end with the district
and the winners do not proceed to
national competition. II, in q state
or district contest, the judges decide
that there Is no one worthy to be q
winner, no contestant shall be given
the rating Of first place and no state
or district winner shall be announced.
Only those who intend to follow
music as . career may enter the
young artists competition. All con-
testants obligate themselves to enter
the district contests should they be-
come safe winners and to enter the
national contests should they become
district winners. II, In q state, dis
trict or national contest, the judges
decide that there Is no one worthy
to be . winner, no contestant shall
b given . rating Of first place and
no winner shall be declared.
The rules are among those covering
the competition given in the biennial
contest pamphlets issued by Mrs,
John Alexander Jardine. Fargo. presi-
dent Of the national federation.
