The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1918-05-31

Is Brattleboro's hand to maintain its |
organization through the coming sum
mer? That is a question that may well |
be asked in view of the probability that |
its long time conductor, +. c. Leitsinger |
may take position in another town. |
Mr.. Leitsinger, it is understood, has an |
opportunity to secure steady employment |
in Greenfield and has about made up his |
mind to go. If he is allowed to make the
change it is foregone conclusion that
the local band will disband, for Mr. Lett
singer has been the backbone of the or
ganization for so long that no one prob
ably could be found to take his place.
For years he has assumed the response
bility of keeping the band together, his
only financial recompense being the pro-
ceeds of the local talent entertainment
given annually. This year, however, in
view of the doubt as to whether the vii
lage would make an appropriation for
concerts and because of the multiplicity
of other calls for funds no entertainment
was arranged. Hence the only revenue in
prospect is the $500 which the village did
appropriate for a series of concerts. AL
though having no authority to speak for
Mr. Leitsinger in the matter, The Meddler
believes it worth while to acquaint the
public with the situation in the hope that
some move NAV be started with a view
to keeping him in town. Brattleboro has
already lost more good musicians than it
can afford to spare.
The situation in regard to local nursing
conditions outlined by R. NJ. Bradley in
his talk in the Auditorium Monday eve
ming is one that directly concerns every
reduction of the towns nursing force
from 40 to approximately 60 per cent
lis a serious matter and one for which
public health demands an immediate rem
edy. So great have been and will be the
wars demands on graduate nurses that il
is out of the question to think of finding
any to fill the places of those who have
gone into war service from this town

The Keokuk P. E. O. chapter,
through its secretary, Miss Harriet

the French orphan whom they
adopted. The letter is dated Gin

lows:
Mademoiselle: Your kind letter
that have just had translated gives
me the greatest pleasure, and to see
above all that you are interesting
yourself in my little Madeleine.
The money that you sent me for
her is of great service to me,
especially as she has just had the
grippe and the whooping cough and
the physician forbids me to send her
TO school during the winter.
Thinking Il give you pleasure, i
send you her photograph. have not
been able to send it to you sooner.
for the photographer did not give 1t
to me until last week.
Madeleine is my only daughter,
but she has three little brothers also,
and It is difficult for me to raise all
three children without their poor
father. Madeleine is five and a half
years old. Books would not interest
her because she does not yet know
how to read.
Thanks again, mademoiselle, fol
sending me money, for it Is that
which gives me the greatest service:
for with the war everything is sc
high.
Believe me, mademoiselle,
Very gratefully yours,
