BABY DERBY KING
feV V- ;
Rare indeed is the individual
who has not at some time or
other during his life had a desire
to play "in the hand. In so many
cases it is impossible to gratify
this desire because of the lack of
a competent teacher. For those
people genuinely interested in band
music, either as players or listen
ers, the following announcement
will -come as very welcome news.
Largely through the combined
efforts of CIvde Gailey and Mr.
St. Clair Anderson, Bandmaster J.
G, Womble, of Salisbury, N. C,
has been secured to organize,
train, and direct a band in Frank
lin in the very near future. No
previous experience in music is
necessary in order to get in. Ab
solute beginners will be taken and
taught how to play cornets, clari
nets, drums, saxaphones, trom
bones and the various other in
struments.
Mr. Womble plans to come to
Franklin around August 10 and
devote several weeks to interview
. ing interested parties who wish to
join the band; Each pvvson wil
be seen privately and will be giv
en advice to what instrument
Mr. Womble thinks he is best
suited to play, and also what in
struments are most needed for a
well balanced band.
Number Limited To Fifty
No one should purchase an in
strument until they have ' seen
Bandmaster Womble, The total
numbers in the band will be limit
ed to fifty. The number of people
playing any one instrument wil!
also be limited. That is to say
out of the fifty-piece band there
will be just a certain nuniber of
trumpet players, a set number of
clarinet players, and an exact
number of drum players, etc. This
is. being done in order that the
band will not be one-sided by
having the majority of membens
all playing the same kind of in
strument. This would be some
what like a baseball team with
two or three third 'basemen, five
or six catchers, . and no pitchers
and outfielders.
Mr. Gailey and Mr. Anderson
both have blanks on which band
: members may enroll. This should
be done at once as it will speed
the Organizing of the band when
Mr. Womble arrives and also
those. who are registered at once
. are more likely to' get their choice
of instruments ond thus be allow
ed to play the instrument they
like best.
Value of Band Work
As to the value of band work,
Mr. . Womble has the following to
say. "There is no other activity
wmcn is iiiuic ueuimeiy worm
while in an all around way than
band work. People playing in a
band learn lessons of cooperation
and teamwork. Their powers of
concentration are increased. They
are given an . ideal way to spend
their leisure hours and they de
rive much pleasure from the play
ing of various musical composi
tions. They are made to fell ex
tra proud when they play for va
rious town activities because they
know they are performing a ser
vice that run-musicians cannot.
Then again it is always possible
that some , few band members will
trr intA ic'omA frrm rt rvi 1 1 c t f q o
profession.
"It is a true, but relatively un
known, fact that one-third of all
people employed are in some way
connected with music, either as
radio stars, band directors, piano
teachers, symphony players, song
writers, etc"
When the Franklin Municipal
. Band is organized it will play for
all the various activities of the
town and will at all times be at
the disposal of the various social
and service clubs of the city.
Anyone having questions to ask
concerning the band should see
Mr. Anderson , or Mr. Gailey at
once.

Youth Organizations
Aid Wildlife
Scout Troops, Future Farmers of
America, 4-H Clubs, and other
youth organizations are increas
ingly adopting wildlife conserva
tion projects as a regular part of
their activities. This' is evident
from the increased number of re
quests for information and assis
tance which are received by the
Division of Game and Inland Fish
cries. While the Division does not
agree with the idea that it is .use
less to work with the "older
heads," as is so frequently claim
ed by farmers, sportsmen, and
others, yet there is no doubt con
cerntng the tremendous benefits
which are, and will continue to be
brought about through the con
certed efforts of young boys and
girls.
Heretofore there has been much
conservation talk but little actual
restoration of suitable wildlife
habitats. One of the main re
quirements of any program design
ed to preserve and Increase game
and other forms of wildlife is a
well planned educational program,
but this in itself will not suffice.
To stop the downward trend of
wildlife numbers, it will be neces
sary for actual field improvements
to supplement conservation educa
tion and the protection afforded
by game protectors and legal r.
strictiont. .
By teaching the values certain'
ing to wildlife to the youth . of
iNorth Carolina, and especially
tnose young people who are in
terested in the land or will fol
low fanning as an occupution, a
greater and more beneficial land
use will be realized. In future
years the results of Boy Scouts,
Future Farmers of America, and
4-H Club training will be reflect
ed by an increased interest in
wildlife problems and a greater
appreciation of the recreational,
aesthetic, social and economic val
ues of wildMf.-N. C. Wfldlift
Conservation,
If you knew that you could make
your home a happier, better place
in which to live, and not increase
your total monthly expenses one
cent
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
You would do the same as 25 per
cent of our customers have already
done by installing an electric range.
You would do the same as 10 per
cent of our customers have already
done by installing an electric water
heater.
Why not give the wife a break by
cooling off that hot kitchen.
We would appreciate the oppor
tunity to serve you.

(Staves off Summer Slumps)
Being marooned in a sea of summer doldrums
has gone definitely out of date and the summer
slump has become obsolete as the dodo bird.
That is, there's no summer let-down for mer
chants who do the right kind of advertising.
Now, for example in some stores July Clear
ance Sales are in full swing . . much of what
he housewife wants is on sale at prices lower
than she'd thought to pay. You, loo, can have
the crowds at your store by a sincerely worded
advertisement telling them of the bargains she
may secure by visiting your store.
