BOSTON SINGER MOVES
To SKOWHEGAN
Miss Marion Ashley Dyer, Soprano
Now Living Here

That a singer of no ordinary merit
has recently moved to Skowhegan will
undoubtedly be welcome news to all
real music lovers of our city. Miss
Marion Ashley Dyer of Boston and
Salem, Mass. is now here with her
parents who have also taken their
abode in Skowhegan. Miss Dyer po-
sesses a beautiful lyric soprano voice
and sings with great fiuency and ar
tistic skill. She is well known in
Boston musical circles where her ap-
pearances have always been attended
with pronounced success. At a con
cert in Jordan Hall the Musical
Courier critic said Possesses fine
voice, sings with great artistry and
perfect diction". At recital of her
own in Salem the Academy of Music
was filled to overlooking and all pa
pers were unanimous in their praise
of Miss Dyer's musicianship and vocal
artistry. Miss Dyer also makes a
speciality of French Folk Lore of the
18th Century which is especially suit
ed to her voice and style Always
painstaking, always considerable of her
audiences in selecting wise selections
that are not above the peoples state
of appreciation her programs are most
enjoyable and convincing That our
local musical public will extend a
hearty welcome to Miss Dyer goes
without saying.

The Red Cross Drive

German forces are arriving in su-
perior numbers on the Western front
and American troops must stem the
tide. This is the thought expressed
by newspapers turnout the land. The
American forces must go into action
and they will need the aid of the Red
Cross Are you in on the drive? A
membership of 100000 is sought by
the Red Cross and this will be realiz-
ed only thru united efforts of all real
citizens. The drive starts next Mon
day and lasts one week. Somerset
Countys quota is 5000 members and
Skowhegan's quota 1000 Skowhe-
gan has now about 500 members.
Committees have been appointed by
the local chapter and during the drive
the members will canvass every man,
woman and child in Skowhegan. They
will go thru the mills, factories, clubs,
offices, churches and societies calling
upon each for but 81. How easy to
save q dollar for the sake of the boys
who have gone from here and other
parts of the country land who, &C
cording to indications will, within a
very few weeks, be on the firing line.
Their wounds will need attention.
Who can administer to their needs ?
The Red Cross can and will IL they
receive proper support from the peo-
pie back home. Only 81 membership
certificates will be issued during the
drive. Each night during the week
the progress realized will be tabulat-
ed in the window of Bucknam's phar-
macy and display of finished arti-
Giles, made by the local chapter, will
also be held at the same place.
To show just how great is the need
and how serious the situation one
member of the local chapter says that
he believes that the boys from Show
hogan will be in active service on the
Western front within three weeks.
They will need the aid of the Red
Cross How can you, remaining in
your peaceful homes, hold back that
necessary dollar? Remember what
Mary Boyle O'Reilly, the noted lectur-
er and war nurse said in the Opera
House. Tuesday evening You peo-
pie have made no sacrifices as yet.
The time is coming when you will not
wear kid gloves. The meaning OF
these words is obvious.
