The Columbus Boychoir School, in

are selected for the school, which is

selected on the basis of voice quality,
musical aptitude and character ex-
cellenceS and pay no tuition fees,
since the school is maintained by
public subscription. In addition to
their musical education they pursue
complete academic courses, which
parallel the fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth grades in Columbus grammar
schools.
The school has been tremendous
success, obtaining national reputa-
ton in the short space of six years.
Regular concert tours of the choir,
coupled with regular broadcasts over
the national networks, have captured
the imagination of thousands of
American music-lovers. The result
is that applications for admission to
the school are being received from
all over the country. So far, Mr.
Huffman has chung to the original
conception of the school: the Column

sing but how to become good citi-
zens. The second, he thinks, is even
more important than the first.

Campaign Started Yesterday

Judge Joseph d. Mish has again
been appointed Washington County
director of the Maryland Chapter,
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, for the annual March of
Dimes campaign in Washington
County, which started yesterday and
will continue until the end of the

Funds realized from the annual
campaign are devoted entirely to
combat the disease, with so per cent
of the funds being used to further
the work right here in Washington
County and the remaining so per
cent being used by the National
Foundation headquarters for re-
search and educational work.
Contribution boxes are now in the
stores in Hagerstown and throughout
the county, and also in the schools,
and you are urged to make liberal
contributions to this truly worthy
cause Judge Mish has also mailed
March of Dimes letters to many peo-
pie throughout the county and those
receiving them are asked to act on
them right away and return them to
Judge Mish as soon as the necessary
dimes have been affixed.
While Maryland-and Washington
County in particular = have been
practically free of polio during the
past year, there have been many SER
ious outbreaks throughout the nation,
with the result that the national fund
has been seriously depleted and for
that reason the need for your help is
more urgent this year. Drop coin
or bill-in the March of Dimes col
lection box whenever you come
across one. You won't miss it and
you will be helping to fight-and
conquer-the dread disease.
