The band concert last week
was a pleasant surprise, even
lor those of us who have
learned to expect great things
from the band.
The music makers were in
rare form. They played
marches, classics and other
types with skill, talent and
obvious enjoyment.
The people who were there
enjoyed it, another value of
the evening. The director,
Hunter Parker chose music
that was already known by
the people, or tunes that were
easy to get to know.
The benefit of the music
program will be realized by
the young people involved for
a long time. These will recur
time and again, and even as
those who are so young now
become older and settled, the
pleasures which can be theirs
will return again and again,
through all their years.
At least two things were
proved at the concert, and we
need to keep them in mind
during the days ahead:
The students of Seminole
County do have the ability to
learn to play musical instru
ments; and the public will
support a music program 1 .
—o—
haven’t yet had a chance
to go by and see if it’s so, but
I’ve heard so much about it,
I’m convinced: The art exhi
bit at Merchants and Farm
ers Bank is worth seeing. It
will be at the Commercial
State Bank next week. *
The exhibit will be there
for a short time, so take a
few minutes and drop by and
see what our own, hometown
artists can create with a little
paint and a brush or two.
They tell me that a painting
by Mrs. Marion Roberts, of
“Old” Donalsonville, is worth
your while.
No wonder Bill Brigham is
such a healthy, hale and
hearty sort of lad. He quit
smoking so long ago he’s just
about stopped bragging about
it, and now he’s eating a lot of
eggs. Or he’s buying a lot of
them.
The Kennedys are running
the country, no doubt about
it, and it’s not taking dozens
of them to do it. Jack andi
Bobby are the only ones they
need, and they seem to need
only one another.
Jack says he ca" send his
troops into any st:.te any
time he want to, ’cause Bobby
says he can.
This old country is in one
more heck of a fix, and if you
think about it for a while it’ll
put you in the state of mourn
ing, over what used to be. . .
It still stands out as con
trast, the way the Kennedys
are so eager to go to war a
gainst a state, but so quick to
turn and run from Castro.
This may give us a solution:
Let’s make Cuba a part of
the Sunny South. Bobby will
think up some reason and
Jack will not be afraid to
move in and take over. Peace
in the hemisphere again, it’s
that simple.

WHO WAS THAT LADY?
Who was the lady whose
picture appeared on the front
page last week?
That question stirred up
considerable interest and
many comments from our
readers, and we are glad. We
do regret the fact that some
( lost a little sleep, trying to
think of the name of the at

lasting harm was done.
