The Second Annual     ' I
Spring Concert by j
The Y. M. C. A. Band
A Varied and Interesting Programme; Commu¬ nity's Appreciation Shown by Attending in Large Numbers.
Repeated Encores De¬ manded; Director Howard H. Haas Ren¬ dered a Baritone Solo Entitled ''Bonnie Scot¬ land", by Request.
Another very interesting concert was rendered in St. Jolin's Roforniea | Church on Tuesday evening by the , Y.M.C.A. Dand. This v.as the second : concert of a series to be given at stated inteiVaJs. The program as rendered was well balanced and of sufflcieut variation to make it botli Icteresting and attractive. That th.. people appreciate tho efforts of this musical orgaiiizaion and the splen did progress it is iiial<iiig was not only plainly shown by the large num ber that gathered on this occasion tut also by the many favorable com¬ ments which Vi-urc heard, after tin; concert. The community's begin¬ ning to realize what a v:i!uablo asse; Jt has in this group of performer^ on musical instruments. Their accomplishments under the elHcieitt amiable and devoted leader, ProC. H. H. Haas aro no longer localized but are widely and extensively spoken of. A band such as the on to which the people of this localiiv can lay claim is a most effective method of advertising the conimui-- ity. The personnel of this organ- liatlon is of a very high type being made up (jf men, young and old. who with tlielr culture and refine¬ ment make membership nut only attractive but desirable. To attempt to discriminate between the selections would work an In¬ justice und incite prejudice. Th^' audience as a unit greatly appreci¬ ated every number as their repeated uncores concretely proved. Hut if one were obliged to make ;^seli>ction under pressure it would seem reas¬ onable to infer that thc,s(ilo by Prof. H. H. Haas und the "Songs From the Old Folks" l)y the B.ind were the most popular. |
The former appealed  to every one i not alone because  it   was a  variation of 11 familiar song,"but .ilso because; it was very gracefully and effectively [ rendered.    The    latter    undoubtedly Impressed every  one,  for  try  as one niuy.  «L- cannot   fall  to  be  insinred and tli:-il!i.(i as he listens to the songs 0' Iimg ago.
The various selections of the b^md Were interspersed by vocal solos ol a very high order. Not only in Instrumental music does the com-, "Bunity excel, but In vocal talent as' well. The soloists William Cano and Mrs. Warren Geary were uccom- Danied by  Charles  Hess. |
"Keep right on going. noys!"j Stand by und support your present | flevoted letider! Maintain the high ¦¦ tnoriil standard of your organization., The imblic will not only greatljp-I apprcciao but also willingly and* cheerfully support you. Wi' arr anxiously Waiting the annouiicrm.'iit 0' the dale for tho next concert.

Wood-Using Industries Coming Together
Tliat the restoration of Pennsylvania to a timlier-prodiicing commonwealth i- not a matter of interest alone to any particular branch of l'eni!s%-lvania in¬ dustry was well brought out in a con '"leiicc or" wood iiser^ ledd Wed. j riiiir>. in the Supreme Court room- at ¦iie ( apitol. The conference was called l.y Covernor Sproul and participating in it were leading representatives of the inaniifacturing. mining, agricultural, and trajisportation organizations of the .state. Organized lalior was represent^ on the program by a vice-president ol the   State   Federation  of  I>abor.
(ioverniir Sproul presided over the loiirercnce an.l made the opening ad¬ dle--.
The < io\ crnor said :
'For the lii-t time in the history of this ;;reat Commonwealth repre-eiita- ti\e- of the wood-using industries have mine together to con-ider the vital cpies- tion of forest supplies and the effect of forest deva-tation upon agriculture, com¬ merce, and manufacture in the Keystone Shtte. There is no industry in Penrf??-!- vania that can be condm-ted without the assi^tance of the forest. X'ot a pound of coal caii be mined, not a pound of ^teel can be produced, nothing- can b.- transported without the liel[i of the for¬ est. Therefore, in tact and in effect, every indu-try in onr State is directly dependent tor it- c\istcn'c on supplie- wliich   the   forc-t   alone   can   vield.''
