Mrs. Timothy Henne ssy, who has so ably tra ined choruses in the Palmer School this past year, has e7pre ssed her will ingne ss to train and conduct Community Chorus if enough people are intero sted. She believes that chorus of about 100 voices could be found in the Valley.
 If you are interested in some thing of this kind, you can make it known to the Valley Settler and VIC will relay the me ssage to Mrs. Hennessy or-let Mrs. Fenne ssy k1oU what you think about it.
 This might be good subject to bring up for di scu ssion at HOmemakers' Clubs. The opinions of the different communities could be obtained in that way. Anyway be thinking it overland tell others.
