BESSEMER, Ala. (#).—Because the youth of Bessemer, this steel-making city of 25,000 persons, nestling in the ore-producing mountains of north Ala- bama, fulfilled an undertaking in which the men of more mature years had failed, the city government plans an official celebration Christmas Day. At that time, the Bessemer Boys Band, organized in January, 1926, is to celebrate its third anniversary. so that the customary Yuletide festivities may be incorporated into the ceremonies. The band, whose members' ages range from 11 to 22 years, was the outgrowth of an enterprise launched by W. F. Bolin, bank clerk. Bolin, a lover of music, attempted to organize a man's band but failed because he could not find sufficient performers. Refusing to be discouraged, Bolin can- vassed the Sunday schools and public school classrooms. Boys responded by the score. The director selected the most promising 35 prospects and they are still with him. The band has visited practically every city and town in Alabama, and plans tours during the coming year into neighboring States. It has won numerous competitive contests with school bands lines with those of this country finnll\r P — - postal office officials | out schedules and putting the inter- national service on an “on time" basi The fir piane from this count: reached Mexico City yesierday. while the first aircraft from Mexico City reached the border yesterday afternoon. | 24 hours behind schedule.
