Hungry
(EDITORIAL)
The program of Easter music presented here last Sunday
evening drew snmething like a record citowd of persons,
i -'presenting- almost every section of the county, gome per
?,,tns were so determined to hear the prognun that they
came an hour early, and 90 many -wanted to hear it that
there simply -wasn't room enough to crowd them all into
the church.
The audience, in both its size and Its reaction to the high
quality of the pmgram, proved -what has been proved re
peatedly before: The people of this county are hungry for
good music.
It's time we did sMnething about developing oar appre
ciation of, and hunger for music. And of course the place
to start is with the young pejople.
The time has come when we should have public school
music in the schools of Macon County ? not two or three
years hence, but NOW, while the present generation of child
ren is in school.
And Sunday night's event proved what also has been
proved before: There is no auditorium In this community
that is even approximately adequate. We need a community
auditorium, built as an auditorium, and large enough to
accommodate 1,000 persons, and we need that now.
"Where there's a will, there's a way" ? this community
has repeatedly proved the truth of that adage in reoenjt
months It can prove it again. For, if the public pfflcilals
of Macon County need private help in filling these two
urgent needs, all they have to dp is to ask for it. That, too,
has repeatedly been proved.
All we need is a little official leadeiship.

which ithe Lions club has been
