MUSIC:  MAKE IT   YOURSELF
The American people are the worst singers in the world, at least aa far as my observation goes.
And they are missing a lot of fun. We flatter ourselves that we play more than Eu¬ ropeans.   We do not.
Por Instance, we don't play baseball, Wc go and .sec it played. Ditto footbaU and polo.
Our boys and girls play, but once the American passes the hoop and marbles and leap¬ frog age, he settles down Into the capacity of spectator.
He doesn't perform plays; he watches them. He doesn't sing In church, as the English and Oermans do; he hires a quartet to sing at him. He doesn't play the fiddle or trombone or clarinet; he goes to listen to hired men who work (not play) on these in- stnmtents tor a living.
He doesn't take the time to learn Rlgoletto or the Mes> siah, which would provide him not only with immense recreation and most enjoyable refreshments, and also wotdd enable him really to under¬ stand the music and unlock tor him an iitflnite treasure of delights; he only goes to hear professionals perform such works,
I doubt if the Metropolitan Opera Is of any real cultural value. A lot of experts, most¬ ly foreigners, are hired to sing. We go and listen. Our young people aspire to be like them.
Every big city Is full of piti¬ able boys and girls studying music. I say pitiable, because they aim to make a living by music. Worse, each dreams of distinction, of being a Car¬ uso or a Farrar. Not one In a hundred thousand achieves fame. Not one In ten thou¬ sand even becomes able to earn a livelihood.
It, instead of this sad spec¬ tacle, we could have great choruses and orchestras where people could sing and play for the Joy of it, then music would be a blessinc and not a fever.
Why catuiot we take up music as a species of fun, to be participated in by our¬ selves? We don't hire danc¬ ers; we do our own foxtrott¬ ing. Why can't we make otir own music, or at least have our young people learn to do so?
Plato said. "Musical train¬ ing is a more potent instru¬ ment than any other, because rhythm and harmony find thehr way into the secret plac¬ es of the soul, on which they mightily fasten."
You do not get the benefits of music unless you make it yourself. To learn to play one of Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words will give you more genuine soul-rlches than to rim off a barrel of records and rolls on the talking-mach¬ ine and the player-piano.
Whoever will hiduoe our people to sing will do a national service. Oh. the dumb congregations In church, the dumb audiences In theatr¬ es, the dtmdb soldiers In camps, the .dumb crowds In the street! How they would be liberated, fired. Invigorated, if they could and would sing! —DR. FRANK CRANE.

It is the desire of the administra¬ tion to have 100': coopiTation in this movement and surely Nazareth is not going to lower this percentage. If by chance your home may be missed by any one of these workers, won't you kindly call at our local Post Office, sign the card and get one of these stickers.
The workers expect to complete the canvass bv Saturday noon, so if your home has been missed, or if you were not at home when the worker called, please call at the Post Office at your earliest conveni¬ ence so that a complete and final report may be made by the Local Chamber of Commerce to the Na¬ tional headquarters by Monday night. Also. If there Is any Informa¬ tion you may desire, call on any member of the chamber's committee or William Henry, local Post Master, and all possible assistance will be gladly rendered.
Those who heard the address of The National Recovery Administra¬ tor, Hugh S. Johnson, broadcasted last Sunday will remember what h"! said to the workers—"You are about to go forth on your great work, you are patient missionaries and neither snoopers nor policemen.    You will find bewilderment, some misinform¬ ation and  <in the rarest of cases), resistance—with the latter you have nothing to do.

"It is not your duty to provoke resentment or hard feeling but only to give your message of helpfulness and go on your way."   "The mill- wheel In the Eagle's claw may grind

The present building, which was erected In 188g. served primarily as a Methodist Church, but for more than a score of years its main interest was cen¬ tered in an undenominational union Sunday school, which was organised in the early 1900's by the Rev.

With this Issue we close the mis¬ spelled word contest. This Is your last chance to win a prize. Turn to page three of this issue and see if you can't find them this week. Do it right now and mail your reply to The Contest Editor, tills paper, at once.
Last week the Contest Editor found the mall box full at every visit, but of the many replies only 5 found all of the words misspelled. However, hundreds had all the words but one, Thev didn't find "Dunne" in The Broad Street Theatre adver¬ tisement.
In all there were nine misspelled words used in last week's Issue: They were: "Closing" In Clinton Frantz's ad; "Dairy" In John Edel- man's ad; "Schlegel" in Henry Schiegel's ad; "Weather" in The Nazareth Inn ad; "Tap" in the Cherry Hill ad; "Real" in Jameg 8. Fry's ad; "Dunne" tn The Broad Street Theatre ad; "South" in C, A. Anglemlre's ad and "Ouaranteed" In J. J. Siegfried's ad.
Those that found all of these words and made prompt and neat replies are as follows in order re¬ ceived:
The winner of the hrst prize in last week's contest is Miss Dorothy Kromer, 44 South Wliitfield street, $2.00 in cash.
Winner of the second prize la Miss Fannie M. Oemet. 37 WashUigton street, six Broad Street Theatre Tickets,
The third prize goes to no one but I. V. Uhler, log South Broad street, who has won three of the contest prizes to date, Mr. Uhler loses no time in forwarding his replies and certainly does not miss any of the misspelled words—This time he wins one year's subscription to The Item,
The fourth prize, or four theatre tickets are again awarded to Miss Pauline Snyder, 322 So. Broad St. Miss Snyder is another consistent winner in this contest. She, a'.so, has won three prizes to date and must have enough theatre tickets to treat all her friends.
Miss Ruth Lutz, Oreen Street left no one get ahead of her for the fifth prize. She Is the winner of two theatre tickets.
Quite some time was necessary to ascertain the winner of the sixth prize as there were many contestants ttiat had eight of the nine misspelled words. So the Contest Editor had to be very careful In picking out the one in this group that was first in forwarding the reply. However, after carefully checking the time of the post mark on the envelopes, the only one eligible to this prize was Miss Bessie M. Kemmerer. So. Whitfield street, one theatre ticket.

The second quinquennial reunion and Home Coming of present and former members of Emmanuel Union Church at Petersvllle will be held Saturday, September 16. There will be an all-day program, with exercises at 10 a. m.. 2:15 p. m. and 6:30 p. m. (Standard Time). Basket lunches will be partaken of at noon and 5 p. m., coffee to be served free by the committee.
This reunion, held every five ye.irs, brings many people to this liistonc cliurch, founded in 1723. accordin:.? to eminent church authoritl-s. bein? the fir.st congregation established in Moore Township. The present edi¬ fice was erected In 1850.
The Scotch-Irish, who arc ac¬ knowledged to have been the earliest settlers, arrived in 1728, and If the Germans followed soon after, then it is evident that the congregation at Petersvllle is later than 1728. As the earliest grave bears the date 1760. it is held proper by some to date the Petersvllle church at 1750. or .somewhat earlier. When the old church had fallen into decay about 1776, occasional services were held tn the school house. This happens to be the period when Petersvllle was too poor to rebuild. Tills un¬ fortunate condition for Petersvllle was brought on by the building of Stone and  Moorestown churches.
The old log churcli unfit for use. an effort was made to unite the congregations at Petersvllle, How- ervllle and Indlanland and .settlers of Allen Town.shlp in the erection of a large church for the whole dis¬ trict. Indianl.md decided to build its own. and HowerviUe reloc.ited near Kreldersvillo and built ZIon (StoneI     Church.    Petersvllle   suf-
frri'd through this period becaus? rf the.se withdrawals. Tlie action ii: Indianland and Stone Church influenced the residents of Moore .i:.d Bushkill Town.ships to erect a iluirch at Moorestown in 1772.
The program committee in charge of preparations for the coming re¬ union consists of the two pastors- Rev. F. E. Shupp, Lutheran, and Rev. H. D. Clauss, Reformed, and the organist. M. D. Henninger. Other committees now functioning arc the following:

Nazareth's Part In The NRA Program    -
The N. R A. plan is designed to put five million men back on pa\ToIIs in a short time.
\Vh"n this is done. 20.000.000 people fas.sumlng four to each wage earner'.s family i will suddenlv t>e placed in position to buy the normal necess:ties of life That means that the total trade volume of the nation will, upon the complete acceptanee of this plan, be lifted by from 10 to 20 per cent.
Nazareth will have a definite share in this Increased prosperity to the extent that it participates m the plan, so there is a re¬ sponsibility on every citizen here lo co-operate to the utmost to make this gigantic national plan a complete .success. Every EM¬ PLOYER and every CONSUMER lias a definite responsibility to assume.
THE EMPLOYER'S RESPONSIBILITY:
N. R  A. calls upon every employer to sljorten hours of labor,
so as to make room for more employees.
Each industry will before long adopt its cwn code which will fix the increa-sed labor obligations t*) be assumed by all firms as¬ sociated with that particular industry. Until that time all employers are asked to sign the Presidents Agreement and to meet the hours and wages e.stabh.shed in tiiat Agreement. This Agree¬ ment is scnietime.s referred to as the Blanket Code.
T!ie sucr'^ss of N. R A. therefore calls for the c(X>peratlon of EVERY EMPLOYER
It i.s to the Employers self-interest to do this. Why? Be- cau.se more people working, witli bigger payTolls. will increase the market for his goods. Every dollar spent by an Employer now for increa.sed pavroll will return many fold as business flows from a con.suming public, once more able to buy to supply its unfilled needs.
Sn EVERY EMPLOYER SHOULD SXON THE PRESIDENTS AGREEMENT AT ONCE.
TIIE rONSl'MER'S RESPONSIBILITY:
Every individual man or woman, who buys anything, owes it to him.seif and his community and to the nation, to buy only from those Employers who have taken the increased burden of Increas¬ ing pajTolLs to bring back prosperity. This is to the self-interest of the consumer because no citizen can fall to share in this added prasperity. It will reflect it.self In increased values for everything he owns. It will make his present position more secure by re¬ versing tho process of deflation.
SO EVERY CONSUMER SHOULD SIGN THE CONSUMER'S
PLEDGE, which conxmits him to do his part hi this great national economic experiment.
The duty of every citizen of Nazareth is therefore plain. The F»resident ha.s said:
•On the basis ol thi.s simple principle of everybody doing things toeethtr, we are starting out on this Nation-wide attack on un¬ employment. It will succeed if our people understand Itr—in the big tndu.stries, in the Uttle shops, in the great cities and In the .sniall villages. There Ls notliing complicated alMut It and there is nothing particularly new in the principle. It goes back to the basic idea of society and of the Nation it.self that people acting hi a group can ac^ompU.sli things which no individual acting aloOo could even hope to bring about."
Nazareth must do its part in this great plan. It has never failed when the nation called and it will not fall now.
