BAND CHORALS FREEZE TIGHT The Juneau City Band started out last Monday night, Christ- mas Eve, to serenade the town as was done three years ago, but the weather was too severe and there- by hangs a tale. . Fourteen of the members of the band gathered at headquarters at 8:30 o'clock Monday night ready for three hours of playing Christ- mas carols. They piled into the | band wagon and a closed car and | went to Twelfth Street to first | the father, mother and | the band, Mr. and Garnick, and Miss | tions were played in front of the Garnick residence and | the fourth was started. Before 20 bars of music had been played the | instruments were beginning to freeae.

Then the bandsmen were invited into the cozy home of the Gar- nicks to thaw out, were treated to hot coffee, cake, cigars and cigar- ettes. The band boys concluded that an inside concert was better than outside. Several selections were played within the home, sev- eral were warbled and the bands- men were getting ready for another try outside when Santa Claus sud- denly appeared and each musi- cian was presented with a suitable gift. With this good start, it was de- cided to serenade several other places but weatherman Thompson called up, told about the ex- ence of playing out-of-doors, and asked if the weather was mod- erating or getting colder. Thomp- son said the thermometer was drop- ping and advised the members of the band that they might get through with one selection, but if the instruments had frozen up previously it was a holly wreath to a mistletoe they would do it again. Regretfully, the bandsmen wish- Pay’nTakit George Bros. BULK PORT AND MUSCATEL WINE Has Arrived Guaranteed 3 years old Pay'n Takit George Bros, Phone Your Orders!
