Of Local Band (Continqed twin page one) Entitled "Land of the Czars", the band played two movements of the typical Russian music with Carol Taylor and -Carol Plurnsteel having solo parts, The number was very well clone and showed that if they do as well in the next few months practice as they have in the past; they should make a very good showing at the highlight of their summer per- formances, Maurice Huard filled in for his father to take charge of the color party and their al- most flawless performance was greeted with, a well-deserved round of applaase. And there were few in the audience who chose to argue with George Wonch when he noted the girls in the color party and the majorettes, "are the best looking in the coun- try". After some more rousing marches and a serenade, the band drew their performance to a close with the familiar hymn, "Abide' with Me", and then closed off with a Slue march, "The Thunder". A description of the various numbers was given by the band master and he also drew atten-• tion to the fine work done in many of the numbers by special. segments of his charges. He also extended an invita- tion to any musicians to • join the popular group for the com- ing season. Your local merchants keep the economic wheels of your community turning throughout the year.
