Musk Week Originated In Boise, Idaho Everyone knows that this 1b music weok In La Grande and In many other cities throughout the" nation, but probably very few people know of the origin of music. week,. , , . The Idea was first evolved in Boise, Idaho about 13 years ago, W. W. Nusbauhi reports, fe. A. FArner, who Was at that time the leader of the. Episcopal church cnolr In Boise, was responsible for arranging a week of musical programs In the city, .with the aid of the. civic chorus and other, musical organizations there. At; that time he had no thought of making It an annual event, but the Women's club encouraged It, and the city has observed Its annual muslo weok ever since. j . Boise now co-operates with musical organizations of nearby towns during lnuslo weok. ' Committees from each town meet together and arrange a program aitd schedule. Then Boise' musicians blay in Boise one or tw evenings of f the week,, and on the other evenings exchange with mu sicians of tho other towns. This af fords a variety of music without bur dening any ono group of musicians. Music woek concerts In Bolss are usually held out of doore on the, large capital plazo whore several thousand poople may hear. Mr. Farner went east the year af ter Boise celebrated Its first, muslo Week, and, through his , influence nusio week programs wore arranged In New York and In several other eastern cities. The Idea has spread rapidly until hundreds of cities and towns now look forward annually to nuMslo week. WOULD ELEVATfe RUDKIN LOS ANGELES, May 7 (P) United States Senator .
