"To work with these vounesterS many of whom have never had the opportunity to study music will give me the chance to plant a few seeds, perhaps some of which will develop into something," Mel ton pointed out.

He liked It ao well that he stayed and as a result the Historic City of the Black Hills has one of the finest municipal bands in the area. Nineteen years to the day of his first musical appearance in Dead-wood, Porter Melton bade his official farewell by conducting the city's municipal band in concert at the Lead Labor Day celebration. For this weekend, Melton and his wife, Vivian, will leave Deadwood to make, their home in Piankinton, where he Will take over his duties as director the band at the State Training School and Mrs. Melton will serve as girls' supervisor. It is not entirely by choice that Melton is leaving the city.

Manager of the bus station served by the Continental-Trailway bus line, Melton has been without income since the bus lines went on strike this spring. Possible liquidation of the bus service to the Northern Hills and the opportunity to go into a full-time music position has prompted Melton to make the change. A member of a dance band which held a six-weeks contract in the area in 1939, Melton fell in love with the Hills and chose it as a spot in which to make his permanent home and raise his young son. Since then. Melton's son, Jene, has followed in his father's footsteps and is now director of instrumental music in the school at DeSmet and also leads the city's band during the summer months.

With excellent background experience in the brass sections of several top bands in the '30s including Red Nichols, Melton set about organizing a band for Dead-wood in 1940, which has since come to be known as "the band with a style." It was with the assistance of R. L. Ewing, then mayor of the city, that the 35-piece unit was set up and financed with a half a mill levy that has survived through four city administrations. Melton notes. Melton pays special tribute to the four or five older members of the musical group who have continued throughout the years and annually bolster the efforts of the many school students whose talents make them eligible to Join.

His new assignment will be a challenge that, Melton is sure. of Talks Improvements Improved Value-Day promotion, tourist signs and booths were all topics discussed Wednesday morning when local bussiness men met at the Highland Hotel for their semi-monthly Chamber of Commerce session. Suggestions for the replacement of the $9 coupon awards in the Value-Day program will be considered at a special meeting of the retail trade committee which is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. Friday at the Highland Hotel. Anyone interested is urged to attend.

Lloyd McColley announced that the two of sponsored tourist booths closed for the summer, effective Monday, and that figures on the visitors during the past season would be compiled in the near future. A discussion was held on improving the location of the busi-nes district directional sign at the Glover Hill junction but it was the concensus that because of the many streets intersecting at that Doint. it was the best that could be done. I Jeff Moye announced that there will be an organizational meeting of the Community Concert Association at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at) the Lead City Hall and urged all interested persons to attend.

They pro duce more revenue, it was pointed out, because the person parking has no idea how much time is on the meter when he drives up and sees the "legal time" flag. The Park-O-Meter has a similar type meter. Receipts from the parking lot meters showed a definite increase during the past four months but council members indicated that a fair comparison could not be made until the parking lot and the meters had been in use a full year.
