THE BAND

Twenty -four new footing instruments
in the hands of enthusiastic novices is
the Hood River record today. The
Knights Of pythias band is in the max.
ing. Some of the boys, on the first
trial, couldn't blow the faintest shrek
from the bright, shiny horns. At the
next step they produced groans like
unto no noise ever heard before by
man. But now they are getting the
right tongue and lip motions and they
are coming along. We are in for many
and varied solos from energetic knights,
practicing.
All levity aside, we wish them all
power to their heaving chests. The
Knights of Pythas have started some
thing, the finishing of which will be a
credit to themselves and the town. We
have long needed good band. Let
everybody help the new Pythian enter.
