This will be the tenth year the Com munity Chorus has presented the oratorio and from the start it has been directed by J. Russell Paxton, a resident of Irvington. For a decade this custom of singing "The Messiah" as a prelude to the Christmas sea son has been a community enterprise and through the years it has attracted greater attention. Hitherto, many persons from In dianapolis and elsewhere have been unable to hear the oratorio because of the limited seating capacity of church auditoriums where it was given. This year, however, the Irving ton Chorus will sing in the auditorium of the Thomas Carr Howe High School, making it possible to accommodate a much larger au dience. The Irvington Union of Clubs conceived the idea of bringing musicians of that lo cality together for a reverential approach to Yuletide, and again this year officers and committees representing the Union will have charge of the production.

The large number of visitors from the Indiana Federation of Worn en's Clubs helped to increase the attendance at the opening day of the 18th annual Hoosier Salon in the auditorium galleries of the William H.
