Ruling 0fBand
Masters Assn.
Is Protested
Local Lions
Club Asks
Review Of
Action Taken

The Key West Lions club
has gone on record as Wig
orously protesting the rul-
ing of the Florida Band
Masters Association which
prohibits high school bands
from participating in con-
tests with the high school
bands from other states at
national conventions, or
elsewhere.
Local elubmen urge that
all in authority demand a
review of the action taken
by the Band Masters AS
ISOLATION to the end that
this unfair and unreaSon-
able ruling may be quickly
rescinded.
Copies of the resolution were
forwarded to Honorable Thomas
Bailey, Superintendent OF schools
of the State of Florida; the Mon
roe county board of public in
struction; the Florida band mas
tiers association and The Key
West Citizen
The civic organization lists six
reasons why they feel that the
band masters action was hasty
and ill-advised.
Reasons are listed below:
Travel to national conven-
tions is educational. and affords
many high school students the
opportunity to visit places thay
might not normally get to see.
participation IN contests
with bands from other states r
duces a keener competitive spirit,
and fosters the feeling Of good
sportSmanshipS
3EThe possibility of being
chosen to participate in a nation
al contest provides an incentive
for the high school bands to
strive for greater perfection in
their musical studies.
Since High School Bands
from other States are customarily
permitted to enter competitions
at national conventions, it appears
that the objections OF the Florida
Band Masters Association are
narrow. provincial. and without
basis in fact
5-The primary function of the
Band Masters is to teach music.
and not TO presumptiously AFRO
gate to themselves administrative
powers that properly belong IN
the higher levels of the School
System
6-The School System is sup
ported by taxes paid ay the citi-
zens. including about eight thou
sand $1,000 Lions within the
State. The Band Masters are paid
employees, hired by the various
School Boards to teach music, not
to make arbitrary decisions at
fecting the lives of the taxpayers
children.

Delicate Magic Of Lace
BY Betty Miles

die, she believes. She has
noted With pleasure that
many of the old books on
lace-making are being re-
printed and she herself has
been invited to lecture about
lace and to teach the work.
AS far as Mrs. Powers has
been able to determine, the
origin of bobbin lace is un-
known. Some say Egyptian
mummy cloth had a lacelike
texture and the Bible refers
to curtains of a fine lace
texture. Italy and Flanders
both claim the invention of
bobbin lace. After printing
became possible in the 18th
century, there were many
references to bobbin lace
and before then mention of
it appeared in household
records.
Catherine de Medici, who
married Henry II of France,
is said to have set the fashion
for lace in Paris. In Russia,
the origin of the vogue is
traced to Peter the Great.
The church has played a
great part in the history of
lacemaking, Mrs. Powers
explained. Some of the most
beautiful laces were made for
vestments and altar cloths:
Bobbin lace is sometimes
called bone lace because, it is
said, small bones were first
used as bobbins and later
beautiful bobbins were carved
out of bones. Fishbones were
used for pins before metal
ones were invented.
An imaginative type of
bobbin Is the token bobbin,
which has names and notices
carved on it. These were
given to the lacemaker by
her sweetheart or husband as
a token of his affection.
Evening star., 1950-12-24

THERE is magic in the
Il names of lovely lace
Chantilly, Torchon, Cluny-
that conjures up pictures of
delicate, imaginative crea-
tionS.
There is magic, too, in the
making of such lace by flying
fingers. Although the machine
has, for the most part, taken
over the work of nimble
fingers, the art has not died.
Mrs. John Powers, 1905 Wis
consin avenue NV, an &C
complished bobbin lacemaker,
Is one of those determined
that it remain alive.
Mrs. Powers, a native of Bel
gium, attended lace school
there during the First World
War. She still uses old Belgian
bobbins today. Bobbin lace
making Is actually a form of
weaving. The thread, kept in
a form by pins placed in
prepared holes, is twisted,
woven and plated into a
memorable design. Lace Is
made also with a needle, with
a crochet hook and on a
loom.
1.-The 18th and 17th CEN
turies were the most glamor-
Gus as far as lace Is con-
cerned," Mrs. Powers pointed
out. THAT is when men wore
lace! Maybe If the men would
start to wear lace again, the
women would start making
it again"
Such an event Is highly
improbable in our Goth CEN
tury world, Mrs. Powers real
ICES. Machines make the
lace so we'll and so fast and
so cheaply, one can see why
it Is not made extensively by
hand now"
It is a fascinating craft,
though, and too lovely to let
