The broadest possible educational and cultural basis is to be given the Washington Heights Music Center, new project under the auspices of the Washington Heights Y. M. and Y. W. H. A., according to an announcement from Samuel S. Solender, executive director. With Louis J. Caldor as program director the new center will serve not only Washington and University Heights but also Bergen County in New Jersey.
