The impression given renders of last night's Observer that the band concert would be held that evening was due to the fact that the reporter in telling of the program failed to state which evening it would be given, no specific date being named.

They are umong the country's ino.'jt virile, sincere and hopeful young men and women. The Convention members are tremendously busy with worth while things of life.

SPEEDING IN TOWN. j ; There have been numerous complaints by La Grande (citizen:! against speedeis I'li'iniciitinn sheets south of the .business district and entlnni'.ei injj children cross in; streets ,and playing nearby. The offenders are many if a stiiol interpretation of the npt-ed law js made and the drivers who jiot only get up to 12f miles an hour but to i55 and 45 are all too numerous for the public's safety. ! ' Boys who drive cars are too easily afflicted with the! Fjieed bug and too slow to appreciate the extreme dangeii that fast driving produces in city streets, Some of themj lire among the ofl'endcis. They aro not consciously . flirt ii.g with minder, uf coinse, Iml they slionld be" Hie subject vf severe warning-; hy parents who know the irresponsible attitude that youth is often prone to take.

If necessary, special (police supervision can be put in the district, affected until the streets become safe. Citi.tus who want lo see the speeding eliminated ale loo .slow, e believe, to turn in !pee,ifie. complaints to the police department, against, indi v'dual drivers. If this is not effective, a written petition from property holdeis requesting police ptotection from Speeders will get action and cure the evil. As with anything jclse, united effort is necessary to bring pioper emphasis jto some violations and .secure collection. If a citizen n juot" interested enough in his own or others' welfare '. i Jthrow his influence in the light direction, such a lhing as '.speeding on outlying streets of the city cannot be curbed effectively. , , or Its teachings upon the aims Man (lo wife who 1m, presented I , mt ,, him will, twins): "W II you ever d t.1Ion. ,,.. ,.,. ., ' ilrnmnlnHtioniil dnfiTfiiceti ushle I These yotitin pt uple are of ll- tlK ' ...
