Mandolin Club Plays Well
To those unramiliar with the niusiial possibilitlei of the mandolin the fine work of the Club under the leadership of Jlr. Oliver F. liittiiij.' was a revela¬ tion. About twenty-five pii-ees. divided among tirst mandolins, second mando¬ lins, tenor niandola, guitars, bass viol, flute and piano, proved ample for Mr. Bitting's purpose in rendering niusic of filch li'jli grade as "Lustspiel Ovefture,'' "Reverie." ami Kaehnianinoll", 'Preliide in C." In this last number the Club played a special arrangement made by Mr." Bitting to a piano solo part, which Tas very ahly bandied by .Miss Helen Moyer, "whose work as accompaniest to the Club in the otlier numbers was also of n high order.
Original Compositions Please
Great interest was shown In several of Mr. Bitting's own composition- jilaysd by the Club, notably "Valse i'oinsette,'" "l. U. ilanh," and"','.Martiii Mareh," in vhich evidence was shown of the <om- posei's wide knowledgv of tlie mandolin and its possibilities, as well as of his real musical ability. These numbers have just been published liy the Smith Music company of N'ew York City, anA it is of interest to note that the "Mar- tih March'' is dedicated to F. 11. Martin, of Xazareth.
Possibly  tbe  strongest   feature  of   the work of tl'.e Club was the line i|iiality of tone   develo]ied    by    the    players,   with j a iplcndid   volume   where » necessary;    at ^ b tunes, how.ver.  there  was  a  noticeable ] lack of attack  and  a   lack  of   finish  in ^ difficult  ])as-nges.   also   some   diiriculty ws experieured by the leader in getting hia players to -.iilidiie their parts in pian- |
as
liberally her three solo selections well as the ".Melodie in C" in wliicli she was accomiianied by the .Mandolin to very good ell'eet. It is ho]ieil that Sipple will have further oppor¬ tunities to play before Xa/.aretli audi¬ ences.
Splendid Vocal Solos
Those who arranged the concert should be congratulated on their choice of as¬ sisting soloists, of whom three appeared on the ](rinted jirogram. Unfortunately .Miss Jlona Vannatta was iinalde to ap- jiear. leaving .Mrs. Edward tiregory and .Mrs. lessie lloneycntt, both of whom were heartily applauded for their splen¬ did work. Xazareth is indeed fortunati in having' vocal soloists of such marked ability, and so generously disposed to give their talent freely when called upon. Mrs. (Iregory. who has only re¬ cently made her debut before Xazareth music lovers, has a particularly strong voice which she handles with great ease; special comment was made of tlie purity and trueness of her tones.
As a soloist of unusual ability ilrs. lloiii'Vi'iltt, formerly Miss Dorothy Fry, bas long been popular in Nazareth and vicinity; and her audience showed great approval of her work at Tuesday's con¬ cert, particularly in the old familiar "Jly Laddie," which she sings with fine ellect. It is a matter of great regret that ilrs. Honeycutt will leave town in the near future, leaving many ad¬ mirers who will miss her splendid voice.

At the last meeting of Town Council action was taken on a petition signed bv approximately SO customers (out of a" total of 0121 of the Interurban Gas Company complaining about tlie exces¬ sive gas rates charged at the present time as compared with rates in efTect elsewhere and reqiiestin);,' that our Town Council protest against the rates and take the necessary steps towards a re¬ duction in the rates.
The petitioners are already in receipt of a communication from the Interurban Has Company, reading as  follows: EASTOX  GAS   WORKS,   Easton,   Pa. April 7, 1921. Xazareth Borough, X'azareth, Pa. Gentlemen: —
We have received your letter of April 5th containing a copy of a petition con¬ cerning the Cas Rates hi Xazareth: Tills petition states that the rates for ga.s service in X'azareth are higher than those in other places such as Easton. It is true that the rates for gas service in X'azaretli are higher than those in Eas¬ ton. In Xazai'elli there are si.x hundred and twelve ((iP2i gas customers. The Easton Gas Works has over 12;000. The rates for gas service in Xazareth are not higher than those in communities of the same size as Xazareth.
As evidence of this, we are enclosing herewith   a   schedule   of   Gas   Rates   in I ing   Club. 'As   an   active   leader   ju
Seldom has the music-loving public of Nazareth ind vicinity had an opportunity to enjoy so fine a musical treat as that which Jii. Music Lovers' Club will offer on Wednesday, April 27, in St. John's Lutheran church.
In contrast with the programs which the club has already presented this season there will be no orche.-i- tral or vocal number at this concert Instead, the program will be in tlie nature of an organ recital by Prof. T. Edgar Shields, organist at the Church ot the Nativity, Bethlehem, director of the famous Bass Clot Club of that city, and leader of the Music Group of the Thursday Even-
Xazareth and a Schedule of the rates In Bangor, Pa. The Gas Company in Ban¬ gor is owned nnd operated by Bangor citizens and serves about 8.50 customers. Vou will note that the rate in Bangor does not include a service charge, but includes a minimum charge of .?1.00 per month. The rate per M cu. ft. is !52.50 in  liang-or  and  .'ii2.no  in  Xazareth.
During the month of February, the last month for whiaji complete informa¬ tion is available at present, the revenue from the customers of the Interurban Gas Company failed by .$77..lO to pay the operating expenses and taxes of this Company. We, therefore, feel that we cannot ofl'er at this time to reduce the rates  for Gas  Service in  Xazareth.
Quoting from our letter of May 2fitli, 1020, "If the customers of whom there are about 000. feel that the new method of charge is unjust, the Company will put into elTect any schedule that the customers will jointly agree upon, nnd which they can assure the Company by a suitable guarantee will pay the cost of operation and a reasonable return on the actual investment."
We  are quite  willing to  put  into  ef-
all musical enterprises and particul¬ arly in the fleld ot organ music. Pro¬ fessor Shields is well known through out  the  Lehigh  Valley.
He will be supported in his recital program by Miss Pauline Michel, violinist, and Mr. Hans Dressel, 'cellist, both of whom are well known to Nazareth music lovers. The work which Miss Michel uas done as a violin soloist in Bethlehem and vicinity has attracted much at¬ tention because of the high technical ability and pure tone she has devel¬ oped; and she has generously sup¬ ported with her ability many musi¬ cal organizations similar in purpose to the Nazareth' Music Lovers' Club. Her appearance at this concert, as well as that of Prof. Shields, will be entirely as a compliment to the Club.
Those who are familiar with the work done for the Club by Mr. Dres¬ sel, as well as with the high abilt'y
feet any change in accordance with the I jje has shown as a 'cello soloist, above, ff the petitioners believe theL^.;,, j,-g pleased to know that he .? rate of the B.-tngor Gas fVimpaii.v would j ^^ ^     ;„      j^^^^^   j^ j^ ^
be  more  satisfactorv, we would be  L'lad ],     ^, ...       - .,.   »  »! .

We would be very glad to furnish you cert has been arranged, following a with any information you may desire. , similar program recently presented Will  you please advise us  if  you wish ! with  great success  in  Packer  Mem-
your present rate changed to that in elt'ect in ISatiL'or.
Very truly  yours, Interurban Gas Company,
Robert A. Jones, General Superintendent. The  "Item" has  taken the trouble  to get the rates charged in  Bangor,  which nre as follows:
Schedule A
Rate for Gas  Service Yearlv  Contract
$2.50 per M  cu.   ft.  for  the "first     2,P00

.\s iiiui|i:ired with tbe rate in eiV'.t ill Nazareth,  as  follows:
Schedule A
Rate for Gas Service, Yearjy Contract
75c per customer per month, plus:
$2.00 per  M  cu.  ft.  for  the   flrst    5,r00
cu. ft. of gas used per month. .-'l.Sil per   M   lli.   ft.   h-r   the   lii'.-t   l.'i.oon
cu. ft. of gas used per month. .$1.60 per  M  cu.  ft.  for  the   first  20,000 cu. ft. of gas used per month. We, however, desire to call the atten¬ tion ra
ed by a Municipal owned plant and not a Public Service Corporation like the Interurban Gas Company. This paper desires to he fair in tlie matter and be¬ lieves that the Interurban Gas Company will adjust its rates as soon as the price of coal and oil warrant a  reduction.
Why not have the petitioners eall an open meeting and discuss the situation and if the service charge of 75c per month is unwarranted a minimum monthly charge of $1.00 could probablv lie put into efl'ect. The letter of the Interurban Gas Company' invites action - why not get together NOW?
orial  Chapel,   Lehigh  University.
There will be no admission charge for this concert and the public tS invited, since it is the wish of the ar"£ts who will appear, as well as of the Club, that as many as possible shall have the opportunity to hear music of this  kind.

Hall Loses First Game
In the first game of the season the Nazareth Hall nine lost to Allentown Prep Sciiool bv a s.ore of 12 to 2 ou the Muhlenburg Field. The game wa» called at three o'clock on Saturday af¬ ternoon. The cadets made a good show¬ ing although handicapped considerably by lack of practice and by several members of the team being absent.
