Sunday afternoon Lji Grande en
joyed a t'lrst-class baud coucert at the
Federal building Bite. Several hun
dred people congregated to hear the
music, llotween the numbers the aud
lence joined in conversation. People
met each other and had friendly chats
with those who had not met for sev
eral weeks, alihough they live within
the corporate Minits of the city. Old
friendships In this way are enlivened
and strauBeis in the city anon become
acquainted.
One of the things La Grande has
been short on Is a meeting place a
public meeting place where. nelghbo
can meet neighbor. It makes a better
feeling, associations broaden every
one. It is a leveler that promotes
unanimity of purpose and Inculcates
a desire to push La Crande the home
of our people to the foreground.
These concerts should be made per
manent as long as the season will
permit. Not only ehould there be a
Sunday afternoon concert, but at least
twice each week everyone should en-
Joy hearing a band program.

relieve them of anything that smacks
of charity, for a brass band is not a
charitable organization. Make it
worth while for the boys to practice
and endeavor to raise their grade of
music, and La Grande will have an in

to the community.
