Gen. Frank Millard held that they may not keep any part of the new marriage license fee, but must turn it in to the county treasury.

Millard also held that county clerks may not impose an additional fee for administering oaths in connection with marriage license fees. The questions were raised by Aud. Gen. John B. Martin, whose staff must audit county operations.

The only qualification in Millard's opinion concerned, those clerks who receive both salaries and fees under a resolution of their boards of supervisors. The attorney general said MRS. LOUIS N. SCHEMMEL Funeral services for Mrs. Louis N.

SvIvina Fil- Prof. McGeoch presented the first interesting and informative lecture, illustrated by the use of records, in a series of five to a well attended audience at Escanaba Junior High School. Sprightly humor marked his talk. The professor said a distinct relationship exists between tit- music of the different periods. Any change in music means a change in social structure of that time, he noted.

During the 18th century, the music was cold and rationalized as were the people The sales force will be increased 0f that age, while in the 19 th by and additional men will be employed in the stock room as result of the expansion. Plant At Charlotte Northern Motor Rebuilders in that name have been a local industry for several years, but the reconditioning business was begun here as early as 15 years ago. Plans for the expansion were started over a year ago. Norton said that in connection with the reconditioning industry to be set up at Charlotte, N. he has purchased the equipment and I stock of Rangecroft-Flotow, century, the music was of a high emotional pitch which appealed to the spirit rather than the heart.

Exquisite Music During the Elizabethan Age. which was most glamorous period, the music reflected the exuberance and joy of the daily life of England's people. It was created during the time of greatest strength under the strong personality of Queen Elizabeth the First. This music was naive and exquisite with no vulgar display. It told of the physical aspects of life which the people loved.

The 16th century was an age when a person was not fully cultured if he understand and enjjoy music, the professor explained. The people were expected to read and sing their parts at a first glance of the music. Many servants were required to have an ability for music, and distinction of class disappeared during the singing Flowing Madrigals The music of the Elizabethan Age lasted for 35 years, beginning in 1588 aud ending in 1620. During 1 his time some 2.000 madrigals were printed, besides the numerous madrigals which have never been found. A madrigal was a piece of music in the different parts which were usually written by the music master of the house during day for the entertainment.

Each part was written on a different sheet. In this way, the singer could not follow the other part. A madrigal must be absol- utely free and flowing while semg, this period was very snort and the music is not well known today, it is unrivaled among music. This music expressed every kind of mood and the nature of Prof. McGeoch concluded.

But, Millard said, the resolution of the boards of supervisors under which they obtain fees would have to be carefully drawn to permit them to keep the fees. He said he would have to inspect each individual board resolution before he could rule specifically in those cases. If there is such a loophole, Millard said, it would only exist till the end of 1954. He said that new county clerk terms begin Jan. 1, 1955, and that thereafter there could be no question but that the clerks would be barred from receiving the marriage license fees.
