USH Band Concert Is Applauded By Young and Old One of the finest musical events in many a moon was the U. S. Navy band concert in Palomar Friday, Fri-day, conducted by LCdr Charles Brendler, USN. The big crowd with 2000 for the Matinee, with children there from throughout the county and many adults. The evening performance was played to an appreciate audience aud-ience of about 600, and the 600 who should have been there only have themselves to blame for missing the excellent program. Both programs were tops. The Matinee especially pleased the younger set from start to finish, and the night audience was just as pleased. Pleasant feature of the matinee was when the band played with DallinvNielson as conductor, and a group of members of his Millard high school band played alongside along-side Jhe navy musicans, and later Evan Christensen and some members mem-bers of the Delta high school band had the same privilege. The Kiwanis of Delta and West Millard sponsored the USN band concerts in Delta, and members had worked long and hard to make the event worthwhile. The band played in four Utah cities, Provo, Delta, Ogden an Salt Lake, and the local audience gave them as warm as welcome as any they received. Thorpe Waddingham, Kiwanis president, and his fellow members wish to thank all those who helped help-ed in making the visit of the band so successful, and they especially appreciate the cooperation of the school board in making time and buses available to the pupils, and the aid of the teachers who were in charge of the groups. The USN band concert was a big success, except financially to the sponsors. It was planned as a benefit, and proceeds over and a-bove a-bove expenses were to go to the hospital building fund. However, there was no profit, aside from the pleasure of listening to the music. Therefore, no contribution to the hospital fund can be credited cred-ited to it. Kiwanis contracted to pay $1650 to have the concert here, which was paid the night of the concert Ticket sales did not quite cover this sum and incidental expanses. But great credit goes to Kiwanis just the same, for all their efforts and objectives in bringing the music here.
