It's Purpose

Its Purpose
Community Concerts is SER
vice that brings great concerts to
small towns all over the country,
towns which, like Marysville, can
be proud of presenting many of
the same artists whose concerts
draw top prices in New York
Everybody loves good music
and everybody knows it is nec-
essary factor in the artistic
grow of the community. But peo-
pie cannot be depended upon to
come to a boxoffice and buy tick
cts because good music is just
not a hox-offiee attraction ex-
cept for the most famous-n name
artists and shows in the large
cities.
However, most communities,
like Union County, have large
group of citizens who want good
concerts enough to contribute
some of their time and effort to
make the concerts possible, 1t is
these people who are out calling

and working this week toward a
self-supporting Community Con-
cert series for next season. And
every person who buys a ticket
from them is patron of good
music.
The Service
Community concerts provides
intelligent service based on 30
years of experience in over ten
thousand concert campaigns. 1t
provides a representative to help
form an association which will
satisfy the concert demands OF
all grous of the community
BY following the Community
Concert PLAN, it is then possible
for this association to assemble
and maintain an audience large
enough to present a complete
series each year at fraction of
the cost per member of these con-
certs in metropolitan centers.
Mr.. Jack Howells, representa-
tive from New York who first
helped organize Union County's
series three years ago, is at the
Oakland Hotel this week, AS
sisting the local association in its
current campaign.
The Plan
The plan calls for a local as
socation composed of officers and
board of directors who organize
staff workers for an intensive
one-week campaign. This year be-
gins with dessert meeting of all
workers at the Methodist Church
at 7:30 March Is, and ends Sat-
urday March Is.
Memberships in the association
can be taken only during this
week on the basis of annual dues
which admit all members to all
concerts. No admissions to single
concerts are sold, except to out
of-town guests of members. Tick
cts can be transferred, however,
if a member finds he is unable
to attend a particular concert.
And membership in the Marys-
vile series entities the holder to
free attendance of Community
Concerts in surrounding commun-
tiles where extra seats are avail
able.
BY the end of the campaign
week, the association knows ex-
actly how much money it has
to spend on artists, and thus is
enabled to book concerts within
the limits of the budget. No-one
needs to assume a financial risk
or an inordinate amount of work.
Unfortunately, it also precludes
the possibility of knowing what
concerts will be on the series be-
fore the tickets are sold, but the

CANDIDATE
Mary Vaughn Named Candi.
date to Represent Region 8
for Trip to Switzerland
REQUIREMENTS HIGH

At a recent meeting of the
Smyrna Girl Scout Troop 1, 1t was
voted by members and leaders to
send the name of Mary Vaughn to
the international division of the
Girl Scouts of the United States
as candidate to represent Region
at the Juliette Low session, which
is to be held at "Our Chalet, in
Adelboden, Switzerland on July 26
to August 16. The chalet, which
was given to the World Association
of Girl Scouts and guides by Mrs.
James Storrow, an American Girl
Scout, provides a meeting place for
girls of all creeds, nationalities,
and races, for the purpose of pro-
noting international understand
ing and friendship. This year four
girls from the United States will
be chosen for the three weeks of
life with girls from nine countries.
Region 3, from which one of the
Smyrna times., 1950-02-23

American girls viii be chosen, COM
.prises Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia, and Delaware, and the re-
quirements of candidates are very
high. A girl must be at least six
teen years old, have been a scout
for four years, and have attained
first class rank. In choosing Mary
as their candidate, the members Of
the troop felt that she, in every
way, measured up to the third re-
quirement of the national commit
tee. The endorsement of the troop
must be that she be representa-
tive of the finest scout traditions
and have a firm conviction of the
significance of the promise and
laws. Her attitude should be such
as to make her a fine ambassador
from her country" The require
ments are also for proficiency in
outdoor living and pioneering.
Mary has learned these during her
four years through camping with
the troop and at the established
camps which she has attended. The
entire expense of the four girls
who are chosen for the session are
paid from the Juliette Low World
Friendship Fund.
