In celebration of the first ami
versary of the founding Of the I'M
perial Valley Boys band, dance
will be staged at Veterans Memoir
ial hall in FL Centre May %, TO give
the public an opportunity to con-
tribute to the expenses of the or
ganization.
New music, additional accessories,
and more uniforms are needed by
the 40 boys who will play in the
band under the direction Of N. No
yak. The boys usually play for var
ious events without compensation,

purchase Instruments.
Membership in the organization
is open to any boy who plays a
musical instrument, who will obey
rules, and attend rehearsalS.
Backers of the band offer ii as
another means of providing some
