OF songs illustrating the music OF
the various periods Of American
history.
Mr.. Milligan explained that he
had obtained. through research In

nal manuscripts Of the first songs
composed In America. Contrary to
general belief. he said. the Puri.
tans, with their hymn tunes. were
not the first music writers on this

AS a matter Of fact, Mr.. Milligan
said, the Puritans were noted for
their disapproval Of music. both In
church and home. Francis Hopkin

Miss Holmes on an eight hour shift

proximate the startling record OF 90
pieces OF mail per minute. A mail

service averages about $4,000 letters
