 l Descendants of early colonsts felt an inherent inclination to rush into the attics and rescue venerable Revo-

 osity overcame the influence of ances- tral tendencies and they rushed to the door instead, believing that the Eddy Glover post. American Legion, was having parade.
 The sight that greeted their eyes, while 8. tribute to the progressiveness of the age, was one that again might help the early patriot ancestors to stir in their graves with the possi- bility of the traditional turning over.
 The fife, drum and bugle corps was there--44 strong and fairly splitting the air with patriotic and blood stir ring melody--but Shades of Yankee Doodle" every last ffer, drummer and bugler. even to the guy that pounded the bass drum,' was a wom- an.
 And then the Arch streeters req lized that New Britain's much her aided Girl Scouts fife and drum corps had materialized and actually was playing. True all the drums had not arrived. But those that were there were on the job and rolls and f1am-a diddles, and three-eights and six eight beats rattled on kangaroo skin drum heads with a. rhythm that would do credit to the original Spirit of 76."
