name, but they will get around to it

They are artists. Mischo Levin, q
composer who is already attracting
attention, and his wife, one of the
sweetest personalities we have ever
had with us. The spell of their per-
sonalities will linger in the commu-
nifty for long time to come, like
the fragrance of rare bouquet, even
after it has been taken from room.
They gave us more than exquisite
music. They illustrated for us the
potency of love and it's power to re-
lease every latent talent in the soul
of a man or a woman, and in this
case in the soul of both. Mr.. Levin
sold copies of his own composition,
one love song, "The Fire IN the
Heart of An OPAL" that everyone
wanted. The Levins are devoting
the profits from the sale of their mu-
sic to the Red Cross, thus they are
doing their bit by giving of what
they have most of-their music. Our
wish for them is that the fire in the
heart of their opal may never go out
and that some day, somewhere, we
may again have the privilege of hear
ing them.
