the public forum signing thMnietvaA
"Interested Clt&en", Maaklai, "What
has becolne of ohr bandr I bellava
I am In a position to answer this par
son and any other citlesn who la la-
terested. In the first place these Ibp
tereeted citizens moat be wUUng to
dig in their pockets and hire a com
petent bandmaster; one who la will
ing to work and idng at It day after
day, because that’s what it takes. It
has been the lack of tneh a persmi
that caused the band to fiszle out.
Now In order to have a crack ba^d
again, they will have to have another
bandmaster who haa tbe ability and
la willing to put hla hefirt In thi
Job. There is plenty of talent 4billty
in Camdcn'but It haa to be developed.
My question Is, “Are the interested
