was sent out this week by Mrs.
Grace Wldney Mnbee of Los Angeles,
California, national chairman of
civic music and of national music
week observance.
Mrs. Mnbee urged music groups to
begin activities Immediately and
suggested among the Initial projects

the topics which should be em
phasized during National Music
Week, membership of these forums
to consist or one or more represen
tatives froma II civic organization
Interested In the music develop
ment In the communltyl. Such
groups as the Parent-Teacher asso
ciation, .the Women's clubs, play
ground supervisors, service clubs,
churches, schools, patriotic groups,
libraries, music settlement schools,
chamber of commerce and city of
ficials were suggested.
Mrs. Mabce also urged an Im
mediate survey of music resources In
each of the communities In which
there Is a branch of the federation.
‘‘All music organizations, profes
sional and amateur, federated and
unfederated, should be listed," she
said, "together with the names and
addresses of the presidents or coun
selors, the number of members In
each organization and the range of
activities pursued by each.”
"Music Week Observance,” Mrs.
Mabee said, "should consist of city
and county choral and choir festl
vat}, band and orchestra concerts,
school and church music programs,
special programs on playgrounds, In
music settlements, In service clubs,
Industrial groups and hospitals, folk
songs and dance festivals, special ra
dio programs, and hymn singing and
playing contests.
"In communities where there Is a
branch of the National Music Week
committee, federation units will co
operate with that committee. Where
there Is none, they will take the
Initiative In organizing local Music
Week committees.
"With the solid support of the
National Federation of Music clubs
behind National Music Week Ob
servance we hope to make It more
successful than ever before In his
tory,” Mrs. Mabee said. "The Na
tional Music Week slogan Is
'Strengthen Our Musical Resources.’
We hope through our community to
discover not only the musical riches
but the musical lacks In the various
communities and to develop out of
Music Week Observance some uni
fied project of large proportions on
which each community can unite.”
Mrs. Mabee ndded that Music
Week Observance has had each year
a mounting dignity and Importance
and that she Js confident a new rec
ord for widespread nnd successful
observance will be set this year.
