AL Applications Tor
Membership Eusi Come
Through Lodge

We have had some complaints from
local lodges that some of our presi-
dents have been bringing applica-
ton blanks to the General Board to
be o.k'ed by the General President
without having had the lodge to
vote on said applicants. We would
like to inform all concerned that all
application blanks for membership
in the local lodges must come
through the local lodges as our Con-
stitution provides.
Your secretary record should show
when these applications were re =
ceived and turned over to the pro
per committee; when the candidates
were initiated; when the certificates
were issued, etc.
Presidents, you are requested to
keep an accurate record of all ap-
plications that come through your
lodge.
If you do not have an official sec
rotary record, you should get one
and help us to keep your records.

know where a president has a men,
Der who happens to live in a diff

take more than eight days to get the

French Music
Becomes Part
Of u. S. Store
By Alice Eversmon

Very few American musicians re-
alize that they are particularly
minded as regards the music
Of other countries. Americans are
not so hidebound in their national-
ism as not to appreciate what each
country has to offer in all art forms.
In music especially, it Is their good
fortune to be able to assimilate the
best of each foreign country, to
make 1t their own, and eventually
to melt 1t in the crucible Of their
own talent. Because American mu.
sicians went In such droves to Eu.
rope before the war, they learned
a great deal about music from va
rious standpoints. As was natural.
imitation was the first step: and
gradually, from this solid founda-
ton, the American Is not only
standing on his own but beginning
to break the chrysalis Of his inhi-
bitions.
From the three great art cul-
lures the French, German and
Italian in particular, Americans
have learned style and q different
concept of music. Each Of these
three nationalities has been less
elastic in taking on the good Of the
other. Perhaps 1t Is just as well,
since they have preserved their in
dividuality intact for the greater
benefit of the musical world. What
each has done Is now ready for the
New World to use, to perfect and to
advance. The Germans have given
us accuracy, the French polish and
the Italians warmth. These must
all be blended to form the future
great American music.
Orchestre National Coming.
This winter the local public has
had several opportunities to become
better acquainted with French mu-
sical art. So far 1t has come by way
Of soloists, but Tuesdays concert by
the Orchestre National of France
will demonstrate 1t in broader ways.
The Orchestre has been unusually
hard pressed in the IL years of its
| existence. 1t not only survived the
war but took part in the defense Of
France. Many Of the members were
military prisoners and others were
under close surveillance by the oc-
cupation officers. They reassembled
finally In the free zone" and began
their active life as an organization
again.
The concert will mark the first
local appearance also of Charles
Muench, whose devotion to French
music, especially through the war
years, won him the decoration Of
Chevalier of the Legion Of Honor.
Next season he will assume the
dictatorship Of the Boston Sym
phony after DR.. Koussevitzkys re.
tirement. AL through his conduct
ing career, he has been q propa-
gandist for American composers and
will feature on the present tour o
"Toccata," by Walter Piston, which
he requested the composer to write.
Among the many American writers
introduced to the French musical
public are COPELAND, Diamond, Gould.
Ives, Douglas Moore, Wallingford
Riegger. Bernard Rogers and VIII
