BANDS PROGRAM
FOR THIS SUMMER
is COMPLETED
Concerts. Dances To Be
Continued: Trip Planned
As Award to Musicians


Considerable discussion was
raised over summer band pro-
gram at Band Parents meeting
held in the recreation room of
the high school building, Tuesday
night.
Predominant issues brought up
were the summer band award
trip, types of entertainment,
methods of raising money in
connection with the street dances
and the use of band tags as ad-
mission for the dances.
Most of the discussion in con-
nection with the award trip was
due to the fact that the length
and kind of trip was indefinite
in the minds of most of the mem
berS. Mr.. Euverard then explain
ed that nothing definite had been
decided about the trip. The whole
idea of the trip was to incresae
the interest in the summer band,
he declared
Planned as Award
The trip was planned as an
award for attendance at practices
and concerts during the summer,
with the length and elaborateness
of the trip to be decided by the
amount of money made during
the summer.
Nothing definite was decided
by the Band Parents on the trip,
but committee was appointed
consisting of Joseph Maxwell,
Mrs. Clifford Heimlick, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chester Wilson, Mrs. Ell
wood Sawyer and Frank S. Smith,
to act with Mr.. Euverard in work
ing out the details.
Divided opinions were voiced
on the question of entertainment
at the street dances. Some felt
that the presence of side booths
would do more harm than help
to the band in the long run. AL
through the subject was thorough
ly discussed, and all ''had their
say, it was finally decided that
only CONNECTIONS, pop, sandwiches,
etc. could be sold in connection
with the concert and dance.
Will Use Dance Tickets
The issue of the band tags sold
as dance admission was brought
up in the fear that it might hurt
the sale of tags on Band tag day
in the fall. 1t was decided to
use tickets marked admit One"
or something similar in place of
the tags.
All the members present at the
meetings agreed that the concerts
and dance be continued, not only
for the enjoyment of the listeners
but for the experience it gives the
band. Mr.. Euverard felt that the
summer band would undoubtedly
make better band for next years
season.
Mr.. Euverard is also pleased
with the prospects of a larger
band in the coming year. Due to the
fact that in the schedule for the
coming year, he will be relieved
of the grade school music classes.
he will be able to give more in
Strumental lessons.
Need Ample Funds
The question was asked, SIS
the band trying to become a COM
merial organization, in view of
all the ideas brought up to make
money!" 1t was pointed out that
it takes quite a Bit of money
to run band for a year, buying
new instruments, making repairs
and buying new music. The band
by no means wants to be a.
money grabber", Vernon Swink,
vice president of the board of
education declared.
1t NEARLY wants to have suf-
ficent funds to run, making
steady improvements at the same
time.
Many pupils want to take up
instruments, but can't afford their
own. The band parents would
like to buy some instruments to

There is no true religious freedom

luncheon given in his honor at the
Hotel Fontenelle this noon. (Wednes-
day, sept.24l
Reporting IN a recent Journey
through Europe, he said: those who
say that there is religious freedom
under Communism mean that people
may worship within the walls Of
churches" He added that Outside
those walls there is no religious action
discussion, education, or religious
press that is free anywhere that the
Party controls"
DR.. Clinchy gave IN eyewitness ac-
count of the desolation wrought by
Hitlerism in Germany, which he ex-
planned as due to Hitler's violation
Of universal principles and laws. THE
Kremlin now appears TO be following
in these matters the line Of Hitler's
Dictatorship he added.
These violations OF universal prin-
ciples and laws he enumerated as dem
ial of the rights and dignities of min

the end justifies the means, the use Of
hate as an instrument in the struggle
for power, and the employment Of
secret police in the consolidation Of
that power.
DIR. Clinchy stated that it is the
business of the International Council

is also President, TO build up resis-
lance to any such trends in the Give

the pigskin season here. against the
Wilberforce University Green Wave
on Saturday, Sept. II, at Lincoln field,
according to aan announcement by
Raymond H. Kemp. director Of athle-
tics. Pre-game dope stacks the game
up high in quality, and promises a
light as to the Tigers gridiron pro-
poets for this year.
The Wilberforce eleven, playing Lin
coin for the first time, is not to be
confused with the now designated
Wilborforce College of Education and
Industrial Arts and referred to as
state side," which is coached by
Country Lewis and will play the
Tigers in Xenia on November /. The
Green Wave appearing here in the
opening game is tutored by Dwight
Fisher, who only a few weeks ago was
called up to coach the Ohio gridsters.
Fisher formerly coached at Alabama
A and M from l937-l94l, where he
piled up an impressive record. This
will be the fourth year Of mentioning
at Lincoln for Coach Rains, whose
Tigers last year won five, lost two and
tied one. No bones are being made to
Rains charges hoping to better that
record this year.
The new Wilberforce squad will not
be looked upon as easy pickings by
the Tigers in the opener, and Lincoln
will use its Tiger paws to probe deep
into the Ohioans' inner defense works
to start the football wal off with a win.
