night to cover it in order to keep
up the morale of the people"
Mrs. Martin was one of q group
sent to visit American hospitals and
entertain the wounded. Formerly
a soloist in a church in Amherst,
she contributed ''her bit" by sing

were so tragic, she declares, that
frequently she and her 'buddies"
were obliged to brush away tears
before they were able to sing.
