Wistful letters poured in ask
ing, when will we get cur Pi-
amos? Bills afraid he'll lose his
touch, he hasn't had a chance
to play for so long. We GER
tainly could use a few pianos
here for close harmony after the
days work is done and for the
dances we have.
But the boys are happy now
and the pianos are installed In
the day rooms. They were So
licited by Mrs. Dean and Mrs.
Butler Higbee, chairman of the
Camp and Hospital Council of
the American Red Cross for the
Detroit area.
Through newspaper publicity,
organ iZations and individuals
learned of the need for the
pianos. Those who had them 10
give notified Mrs. Dean or Mrs.
Higbee, who saw that they were
collected.
Many pianos were offered, but
those that were sent had to be
tuned and in perfect working
order TO be able 10 stand the
hard usage the boys give them.
There's no soft matchmaking
at Fort Brady. Servicetnen like
their music loud and hearty,
and pound the pianos accordingly.
Big Lounge Chairs
Though the project was
started last spring, it took all
this time TO round UP the pianos
and get them ready for shipping.
Charles w. Gleiser, manager of
an east side storage house,
donated his services by collect
ing the pianos from various
sections of the city and storing
them in his warehouse until
they could be shipped.
Also riding along in the

chairs for the day rooms that
