That each PIT. A. unit in the

dard association at present in the
valley.
The council voted to recommend
to all units that the county group
purchase a life membership in the

ent associations. Mrs. r. L. Glasby
of CaleXico. county president, viii
appoint a committee to suggest the
different amounts which each as

Concert Here

In presenting their second concert
of the season, Imperial Valley Music
Teachers believe that in the Com
pinsky trio they have secured a
group of brilliant musicians which
are certain to continue the fine pre-
cedent set by Nelson Eddy, baritone,
who opene dthis years concert SER

The trio will be presented in con-
cert Tuesday evening, Jan. %, at
8.15 o'clock in Wilson school.
Versatility of this trio, composed
of a sister and two brothers, who
were born in Russia but who, as
early children came to England
making London their home, is SAID
to be remarkable. They were at one
time invited by a group of musical
connoisseurs to appear before them
and to present the usual number OF
program selections on this occasion.
This audience of musicians, COM
poserS, critics, and chamber music
enthusiasts, was puzzled over the
fact that no printed programs were
placed before them.
Before starting the program, Man
uel Compinsky, speaking for his sis
ter, Sara, who is the pianist, and
his brother, Alex, who is the cellist
for himself, the violinist, remarked
that in their repertoire they were
able to play over 1900 compositions.
Not wishing to play something for
which the audience had no desire,
they had left the program open 10
the suggestions of the auditors, max
ing it request" program.
During the hour and three-quar-
tiers that followed, seven difficult
compositions were asked for by the
audience and each one was per-
formed in brilliant manner, as
founding to those assembled and a
demonstration of the versatility and
ability OF this talented trio.
The concert here will start
promptly and no one will be admit
ted during a number.
