ENCOURAGE THE BAND = DR.. Mar
low has been circulating paper for
subscriptions for a series of band
concerts on Saturday evenings du-
ring the warm weather. We have
good band of about fifteen pieces,
and all they need to be brought to-
gether as little encouragement.
A subscription CT 5000 would enable
them to buy a lot of nice new music
and repair their instruments.
Even 800 would help little, and
the DR.. has nearly that amount on
his list now.
