Probably every home in Highland Park that has any sort of phonograph has a few unâ€" wanted records© that could beâ€"conâ€" tributed. The members of the Legion committee who are conducting this drive to bring music to our fighters wish to stress the point that broken of cracked records are. wanted as well as usable ones. Oldâ€"records are used as muchâ€"needed scrap to make new ones. ( The importance of music in keeping up the morale of the troops is recogâ€" nized by all military leaders, and they have frequently voiced their appreâ€" ciation of these efforts to obtain recorded music for the men in service ‘both in this country and abroad. Records may be taken to any of the following places; The Chamber of Commerce, 378 Central avenue, Harry Richman, 33 N. Sheridan road, the U. $£.0, 21 N.
