the Federal Reserve Bank and to the
Liberty Loan Committee for Maryland

not be given its proper rating in the

1t was recognized from the start
that something unusual, something
bigger than had ever before been at
tempted, in the way OF music, would
be necessary and in order 10 solve this
particular problem members of the
Musical Union OF Baltimore were calico
upon for their assistance.
They responded at once and held

in the decision to smalgamate an OF
the instrumental players Of the cit,
into a great body constituting a BAND
Of hitherto undreamed of proportions
This monster massed band will mum

directed by Roscoe Packard, president
Of the Musical Union, and the program
they will present at the Roosevelt
meeting will compromise a number OF
the most popular war songs and patri
otto airs
The meeting will be open to the
general public with no reservations
except for guests of honor; and the
committee is particularly anxious that
the counties OF the State be largely
represented.
