please give them the sympathy
they deserve and leave them un­

looking for publicity!) they've

MOUNTAINEER BAND
IN PORTLAND
The Mountaineer Infantry Band,
under the direction of Sgt. Howard,
were on a special trip to Portland
last week end to play for the Me­
morial Day Parade but the Oregon
liquid sunshine spoiled the well
laid plans.
So the parade was called off, and
the Band had to be satisfied to
play smooth music for the Memorial
Day Dance at the George White
Service Center. They really provid­
ed some smooth music for the crowd
and it looks as though more visits
will be paid soon.
