Griffith, they presented in concert "A German Requiem" by Johannes Brahms. For this performance, which was presented in the auditorium of Central grade school, the chorus was joined by the McHenry County Chamber Music society. Pu blic response was so gratify ing, and the enthusiasm of the singers so marked, that a more formal organization was founded and was named the Northern Illinois Choral Association. Public spirited citizens throughout the community responded by becoming members of the board of directors, and with the leadership of Raymond W. Peirce, the association's president, and under the musical direction of Mrs. Griffith, two concerts have been presented since the formation of the group. The goals of the organization are to present to the community fine choral music with an ever-increasing standard of performance, and to provide an opportunity for those interested to participate in such presentations. The Northern Illinois Choral Association .is a non-profit musical organization dedicated to the performance and presentation of fine choral music.

While your bankroll grows, freedom throughout the world grows a bit, too. And your Bonds are helping this cause more than a little. Get in the U. S.
