II III PEP Ifi THIS SINGING West Hammond Patriots Make Rafters Ring With Star Spangled Banner. There was given in West Hammond, Saturday night, a congregational rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" which was worth going miles to hear. It was the close of the Christmas celebration of the West Hammond club at the Wentworth school. A program had been given consisting 1- : - y-T. .. 1 ........ n ......nr. n A CVAfcises by children, the only grown-ups on the program beinj? Mrs. Max Allaben and Mrs. George. Hannauer in a group of Christmas songs, and the superintendent of pchools in a Christmas story. Not a word had been sung or spoken about the war. the country or the flag, nor did the audience know that the national anthem was to be sung. The chairman announced that the program would be closed by singing the song, the piano sounded the opening strains and the audience was up and over the top. Nothing but a death-dealing bomb could have stopped that crowd from singing. There was volume and gusto in the singing and yet no one was yelling. It was smooth tongued and ha rmoneous and every one knew the words. At its close the grown-ups stood and looked at one another seeming to say: "Wasn't that splendid? Let's ping it again." Patriotic, orators have told us that singing patriotic sonirs is easy, but it is not easy for a whole people to get into a frame of mind and heart that will prompt men, women, and children to sing "The land of the free and the home of the brave" as those West. Hammond folks sang it. It comes from the daily living and giving for the country. MESSIAH. Geo. F. Handel the greatest Oratorla by Hammond Municipal Choral Society at First M.
