Show CLIFF MEMMOTT, Edilor A ROYAL WELCOME AWAITS APPROXIMATELY $00 YOUNG MUSICIANS FROM REGION FIVE .... This thriving and hustling Uintah Basin community tomorrow to-morrow morning will suddenly become alive with festive clad youngsters from at least twenty junior and senior high schools from five counties that make up Region Five, who will come to our community to compete in various musical contests that are designed to develop skills and personalities. For the past several weeks, a committee, headed by Lawrell Jensen, Roosevelt Junior High principal, has worked diligently in preparation for the annual meeting of schools . from San Juan, Grand, Emery, Carbon, Uintah and Duchesne Du-chesne counties, which each year get together in some community com-munity in Southern or Eastern Utah. Not only has the Music Festival committee been preparing pre-paring for the activities the event will produce, but officials of-ficials and business people have made a lot of plans to make the stay here of the approximately 500 students, instructors in-structors and visitors a profound success. . . . Yesterday morning main street closed its doors while the operators of businesses and offices took rake and shovel and cleaned up the town .... And a good job was done, with most every person cooperating who had been asked by Mayor J. V. McLea in his recent proclamation. Main street was given a thorough spring bath as the fixe department washed the mud and dust from it. The City of Roosevelt and its various clubs and institutions insti-tutions extend a hearty welcome to school leaders and students who' will make this rapidly expanding community their home for the next two days. ... We hope your stay with us will be a pleasant and happy one, and that some day you will have a desire to return for another visit. ...

Of course, everyone understands that artists of the highest quality are at a premium and that their fees range from $150 to $300 per appearance, so unless enough people are interested, it will be futile to even attempt such a program series for this area. On the other hand, if enough season tickets (entitling a person to perhaps six high-class entertainments during the year) can be sold, the committee will go to bat and make the necessary contacts. con-tacts. 1 Investigation has been made and guest artists may be secured such as Grant Johannesen, famous pianist; Jean- nette Killian and her guitar, "Around the World on t Wings of Sjng;" Litia Namoura, exotic dancer, of India, Burma, Arabia and Spain; Cornelia Stabler, dramatic ac- tress; and numbers from the Master Mind and Artist ; Series of the University and B Y U Lyceum programs of j the highest quality. .
