ever the cries died down
When the band got through the
crowd wanted Teddy again. one
OF the song leaders took the plat
form and asked the audience 70 sing.
A chorus OF shouts, yells and pro-
tests answered back. The crowd
evidently did not want 20 sing. The
band started up The Long Trail
and the song leader tried TO get the
audience singing without great
deal OF success. The shouts OF pro
test almost drowned out the voices
Of the singers. Chairman Lodge
watched the performance with some
apprehension. IL turned into a con
sing and those who wanted 10 shout.
The song leader took another tacH
