a rnwBMPm m vo rm tc LOCAL AWL CXNSftAL H*W« AND THU INTERESTS Of CKDAJL VILL& AND VICINITY. Supplementing; whatever musi­ cal activities have been planned for the coming season by local or­ ganizations ami without interfer­ ing with individual choirs of - the various churches of the commun­ ity, Prof. John A . Talcott, direc­ tor of music at the college and in the schools of Cqclarville, is form­ ing a choir of mixed voices to render secular and sacred musical numbers upon such occsaions as may seem most fitting. He is extending an invitation (herewith) to all interested per­ sons who think such an idea beneficial to themselves 'and to this vicinity regardless o f their connection with other organiza­ tions. I t is of course to be hoped that the better and more experienced vocalists of the surrounding, area will consider their services apr preciated and will join such a choir but the invitation is not for such alone, Young girls and boys of high school age (whether they attend school or not) will be very Welcome and the ability required of the individual vocally will not be overly stringent. • _ . Men, mature and young w ill be needed in order to obtain balance .in the. different parts o f such a choir and the number enrolled -in membership w ill be determined to sortie extent by the male voices who can see fit to take one night weekly for rehearsals, While the organization will at first do it’s work in Cedarville, possibly in the auditorium o f the High School, one night"- at 7:30 o'clock early'in each week,, it is hoped that public appearances can be made as often as once a month. I t is-Mr. Talcott’s idea first to render music such as is generally used in religious services and if agreeable to all the local churches one o f the union services, each month shall be taken charge o f bv 'ffiis proposed organization. The President of Cedarville Col­ leges in favor of this plan; the Superintendent of Schools alsd, and thru Dr. White the matter has been referred to the local min­ isters for their consideration. I t is to be understood that ev­ ery one is welcome who .sings be they from Cedarville or elsewhere but the one item that will need to, be insisted upon for membership is that rehearsals be attended regularly and with a view to making the choir efficient and to be able-to do good work. Practice and willingness of •co-operation will no doubt bring about, in due time, the desired end. Monday night September ISth will be the first rehearsal and next week's issue of this paper will an­ nounce the place. No membership fee is to be charged and the organization is to be run on a basis o f mutual helpfulness toward all concerned. It may be found desirable to ask members to purchase .their own music but such charges will a- mount to very little. Mr. Talcott whose plan, the above is’, is hot to receive a. fee for his services in directing such a choir but he does desire those who sing to respond by helping the venture' with their enrollment as members. The above is especially ah invi­ tation to those belonging in any way to the chorus who gave a Cantata here last Christinas time and also to members of Cedarville College. Published reports! that the klan has not control o f the Republi­ can central committee is causing some itching in .some quarters. W e questioned a Klansman the first o f the week and find that trouble is brewing. Such reports are not to the liking of Klan members we find, This JClansman while reluctant to talk much gave assurance that the faction of the party that would have the public believe the com­ mittee is anti-klan may be given ,a demonstration o tw h a t can and will be done if certain1things on program.are not carried.out to the wishes of the Klan.-. What we would like to see is a published statement on the au­ thority o f the "Gowdy-Marshall leaders just who o f the central committee are-not Klansmen. W e want to, compare it with a list of the members given us who are said to be members. "Senator” Marshall- as the Kleagle of the Kounty Kommit- tee is in the saddle. Just at pres­ ent he is wrestling with the Xenia post office situation, a rather balky problem as to how to keep i promise with the Klan and yet please the anti-klan 'element.
