MKMORI.VI. DAY SFKVICKS AT FARMER.SVII.I.K, -MAY
Memorial Day services will be held at Farmersville on Sunday, May 27 at 2 p. m. A fine program will be rendered. Prof. M. J. I.uch, Ph. P.. head ot the Department ot English in Lehigh miverslty. will deliver the address.
The P. O. S. ot A. Reserves ot Freemansburg will attend and have charge ot the military end. Twenty- two girls will place a poppy on each soldier's grave. Special music will be rendend by the choir.
Tlie flrst open-air band concert of j the season was rendered by the Y. .M. 1 C. A. band, under the direction of' Prof. Howard Haas, in the N'azareth Circle last Saturday evening. May, 111. and its success was in a great] measure due to the large and appre-i ciative audience. |
While the condiiioiis under which I a hand must labor and the accommo-l dations  to the public leave much  to | be desired, nevertheless the crowded Circle and the fact that   the    entire ' available parking space surrounding | the Circle as well as some ot the   ad¬ joining streets was occupied by auto¬ mobiles, proves conclusively that the people of the surrounding communi¬ ties ns well as the pejple of Nazareth thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the entertainment   value   of   these  open- air concerts.    Naturally such an an- usual   crowd   of   people  and   number of machines, as well as the four dif¬ ferent   trolley    lines     .entering     the town,  proved an  added  hardship  to the police   officials.    They    certainly deserve praise for the efficient man¬ ner In wiiich traffic   was    conducted and the public safety maintained.
The program rendered was of an extraordinary high standard consid¬ ering the age and experience of the organization and especially fine were tho cornet solo "Barbara." played by Harry Miller and the clarinet solo. ".Alicante," played by Walter Bend¬ er, while the Improvement ot the band as a whole over last season was remarked by a number ot people wiio were unable to attend the various winter concerts, made possible through the generosity of the Luth¬ eran and Reformed congregations of N'azareth. The concert started at S.l") and required 1..10 minutes. The program follows:
