It Is a well known fact that the world's greatest composers have written nothing for bands. "In the past It has always been regarded that the band had too many limita tions to express th? utmost In subtleties and musical nuances," stated the Chief recently in an interview with the Press Llason Officer. Recent years, however, have proven that manufacturers of band' instruments have succeeded in creating an Instrument that is easier to play. Unlike the stringed instruments which can bo played for long periods without tiring the performer, em-bouchere. or Instruments requiring lip and tongue movements, are apt to tire the player In long passages.

It was the fifth successive night raid on the German capital and the third heavy assault since .Monday. Some 1000 to 1500 tons of bombs were dropped within twenty minutes, principally on the heart of the c!ly. It was accompanied by a simultaneous attack on Stultgarti major Industrial centre. Thirty. two bmbers, three of them Canadian, failed to return from the twin operation. The operations brought a new twenty-four hour record for deluge of bombs on the rnmy's vital centres. With Thursday night's Itoyal Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force attark on Frankfurt-on -Ma In and a record blow by nearly one thousand American bombers on Bremen Friday, the total tonnage of bombs probably was considerably over the four thousand peak of November 3. The record American operation on Friday, probably involved seven hundred or more flying fortresses and Liberators. Twenty-nine bombers and five fighters were lost and 55, enemj, planes were shot down. Ambulance Fund Bair and Anderson Ltd. $ 10 U. S. Soldier 5 C. G.
