dress Mr. Freund said:
"All of Woodstown should give their whole-hearted
support morally and financially to the Woodstown
Civic Orchestra, for this fine musical organization
under the masterly leadership of Wilbert B. Hitchner,
is a great asset to the community and an outstand-
ing evidence of Woodstown's musical culture and
education and a source of happiness and a pleasure
to its people.
"The members of the Civic Orchestra are afforded
an unrivaled opportunity to develop their musical
talent for the future and with vision can confidently
look forward to building up possibilities in their
musical advancement that will prove of lasting valiv
in their lives."
