Lbs Pupils Given
Chance For Band

With the intentions or recruiting
a large number of students for the
school band, Bandmaster Ray
Creighton has announced that all
students will be given an opportu-
nifty to enroll in the new band in
strument classes to be formed in
the near future.
All students are being tested
with a scientific test to check their
musical ability, and arrangements
are being made whereby instru-
ments can be rented for three
months to determine the inStru-
ment best suited to each individual
child and his interest in it. This
method of starting children on mu-
sical instruments is being widely
used by schools throughout the
country with great success.
Lessons will be furnished by the
school. Now is the logical time for
children to start, and it will only
be a matter of months before they
will be given an opportunity to win
a chair in the regular band and to
participate in all of the school
band functions.

Reorganized Here

The Madisonaires, London mems
chorus, reorganiZed Monday at
meeting in the Methodist Church,
with DR.. M J. Chakeres chosen to
head the group.
The chorus was organized about
six years ago and had been tenn
porarily disbanded since rehears-

the summer about two years ago.
When the meetings ceased the
membership totaled 26. At the
meeting last Monday night, 18 of
those 20 were in attendance.
Weekly rehearsals will be each
Monday night at 8 o'clock in the
Methodist Church. Any person in
the community interested in good
music, good fellowship etc, is in
vited to come at that time and join
the group, especially are tenor
voices desired, according to Dr.

others will not be welcome, it so
happens the tenor section is a tri-
file weak, he concluded.
The Madisonaires gave a great
deal of pleasure to this and other
communities where they accepted
singing engagements, and more
than one person has been heard
to express their delight that they
will soon be ready for public con-

SAVE A LIFE

The State of Ohio has an ex-
cellent record for cutting the
number of accidents resulting
from autos striking children
boarding or alighting from
school buses.
The problem is, with success
has come complacency, and
now the violaters of the school
bus law are becoming more
merous. Complaints have
been received in m ounting
numbers, and the careless mo-
torist goes on his way. No
tragedy here yet, but
The law was passed with one
purpose to save the lives of
children and the most i'm
portant factor in the law is
you the motorist.
Take time to obey the law
everytime you are under obli-
cation to do so. The few min
utes you spend are an invest
ment in some child's future.
