While the sleet blizzard swept

Scores of these people, dazed by

with the horrors they have under

Many still have no realization of ex-
actly what happened, and their first
inquiry always is for their fathers
or their mothers. The workers have
done their utmost to calm them.

BEMIDjI BAND NEEDS
CLARINET PLAYERS

Director Peterson of the Bemidji
band is seeking several young men
who desire to learn to play the clar-
met, for membership in the band.
Mr.. Peterson says the band is in
need of these instruments and he is
making an effort to supply this
need.
Any young man who desires infor-
nation as to this should cOmmuni-
cate with Director Peterson, phone
number III.
The beginners would have to take
a few private lessons but this can
be satisfactorily arranged. Rehears-
ais with the band would also be a
factor.
Mr.. Peterson is doing good work
in promoting the band for Bemidji
and is entitled to every considera-
tion. He is giving his time and has
even dug into his own pocket to
supply new music, and good band
is one of the most valuable adver-
tising mediums a city can have.
