LEVIN RAND'S PROGRESS

CITiZEN'S COMMITTEE MEETS The newly-formed Citizens Committee of the Levin Municipal Band held its first meeting recently, when there was a full attendance of members. The question of the appointment cf a eonductor was discussed, and it was resplved to advertise in the morning papers of the main centr^ i and in the Evening Post and i Clironicle." The salary of the^ v^i-i! ductor would be £150 a year. The-' questionsjDf the status of the band as a muhicipal band and affiliation with the New Zealand BrasV Bands' Association were held over until the next meeting. It was decided to invite citizens to become honorary members of che band with an annual subscripfcion of 10s 6d, thus assisting the main. function of the Citizens' Committee, which was to support the oand financially. At the first practice of the band, held on May 1, there was an attendance of 18 members. There are already 22 players in the band who have had previous band experience, ' in addition to a number of learners. The enthusiasm shown at the first practice augurs well for the future, and the citizens of Levin can look forward- to a band which will be a credit to the town.
