It provides su itable music for public occasions. It is a source of pleasure and profit to its tnembers. A Fourth of July celebration without a brass hand is like a wedding without a bride. With a brass band, such a celebration is pretty nearly the real thing. With a community brass hand it is 100 per cent perfect. At a mass ·meeting a village band can make· a mere meeting a demonstration even before the ~peeches begin. \i\/hat a benefit such a band could be to its members! They will not only have a lot of fun but they will learn a tremendous amount about playing in tune and playing together. If we can't l1ave a village band, let's have a north shore band. No other organizations in our north shore communities Lan take the place of our respective chambers of commerce. They do a needed w.ork that simply would not be done were these bodies to disappear. As promoters of friendly co-operation between the citizens and the business men and of rivic pride they ·are qistinctly unique.
