THE a /)•j 46 -PIECE SERVICE `only FOR .8IN•y�� 9s TARNISI-t.PROOF CHEST SHOP AT AVAUGE IT PAYS HURON -PERTH BAND AS'N MAY BE ENLARGED The spring meeting of the Perth - J uron Bands Association, held on Sunday afternoon in the recreation room of the Stratford boys' ,.band, brought together bandmasters and delegates of all member bands. These include Stratford Boys' band, Sea - forth Highlanders band, New Ham- burg Citizens band, Tavistock Citi- zens band. Milverton "Red Seal" bandand the Clinton Pipe band. Mr. E. H. Close of Seaforth, president of the association, occupied the chair. In his opening address, Mr. Close made particular reference to the suo- cess this association had enjoyed during its flrst year of operation. Co- operation had been 100% by all member bands, and a most gratify- ing spirit of good fellowship built up between them. Before this associa- tion was formed, they were all more or less strangers to each other, but now they are joined together for the sole purpose of helping. not only each other, but the advancement of bands and band interest throughout this district. He suggested that the time was opportune to enlarge the memb- ership beyond the present six band limit, and that applications from oth- er bands who may be interested in the movement should be given full consideration, provided they are pre- pared to comply with the rules of the association as at present consti- tuted. He stressed the fact that the association does not intend to permit any organization connected with bands or bandsmen, to interfere in any way whatsoever with the pres- ent set up. It is not the policy of the association to seek new members. At the same time, they would welcome applications from any bands qualified and prepared to enter wholehearted- ly into the work they are pledged to. A program of massed band numb- ers was adopted for use at tattooer during the coming season. together with some other details which it is hoped will co-ordinate the work of the bands at these functions. A com- mittee was also appointed to prepare plans for a monster picnic for bands- men and their families to be held sometime during the summer. Those in charge promised this would be an outstanding event. The meeting then adjourned to, meet again at the call of the president SEAFORTH W. 1. The regular meeting of the Sea - forth Women's Institute will be held at the home of Mrs, Leonard Strong on Wedneaday, May 14, at 2.80 p.10.
