The Middletown Silver band, or- ganized but- 12 months go, is com- posed of volunteer. plavers, who ask nothing for their services. They play exceptionally well and two of the members are but children ten or twelve years of age. The members are not only volunteer players, but some have even purchased their own instruments and donated them to the Salvation Army. Their home town is Middle- town, where they regularly hold meet- ings. Their services are In great de- mand and ,whenever they can, they ac- cept the invitation to visit some other eity, asking only that their traveling expenses be paid for. This was the arrangement made with Captain Phil- lips. The entire cost of the campaign totals nearly a hundred dcllars. A little over half of this amount. has been taken up in the er collections during the two days the band was here and Captain Phillips hopes that the entire amount may be raised through the generosity of Norwich people.
