Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 166, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 July 1918 — COMMUNITY SINGING. [ARTICLE]

COMMUNITY SINGING.

Inasmuch as the war has taken away so many of our band boys, making it impossible to hold band concerts, why would it not be a splendid idea to give an entertainment each Wednesday 'evening on the court house lawn consisting of community singing. Dr. W. L. Myer, J. D. Allman, E. P. Honan, C. E. Prior, Mrs. Loren .Sage, Mrs. M, P. Gwin and many others would undoubtedly be willing/to assist in this matter. George Ade in his last state council of defense article urges community singing. Will Rensselaer start this? It will be of value from the standpiont of patriotism and will be greatly enjoyed. Come on Dr. Myer, et al., let’s sing.
