Mrs. W. A. Paul of Auburn has a unique souvenir of a recent trip and one which she says she is going to keep, a big round ragged hole in the side of her automobile, made by a bullet from a rifle of a Mexican customs officer.

The large audience attending the recent concert presented by the Auburn Community Band responded favorably to the light and airy musical selections which made up the evening’s program. The event was termed as a fine success, with well over 150 persons present for the concert held in the Webster Middle School auditorium.

In the spotlight as a special attraction was the Youth and Chapel Choir of Auburn United Methodist Church. The 35 boys and girls who make up the choir reportedly stole the show with their singing under the direction of Linda Boothby, who also arranged the music.

After the concert, the band members accepted an invitation extended by the Youth and Chapel Choir to a social hour in the vestry of the Methodist Church, Park Avenue, Auburn.
