His condition is thought to be favorable. ■ • • The extreme illness of Mrs. Dave Myerson, Jr., in Asheville will be learned of with sincere sorrow. Mrs. Myerson, with her sister, Miss Blanche Levy, has been in Asheville for several weeks and it was hoped was gaining sterength. Recently she contracted measles and during her convalescence “They were nervous and restless —huddled in the dugout, waiting for the gray dawn that was to send them over the top. I would wind the Grafonola, slip on the record of the ‘Humoresque’ —and as the soft, sweet, haunting strains floated out, I’d watch the grim faces relax; and the tense mood pass. “Again—in a shattered Belgian village—a group of American lads—truck drivers going up to the front—would be caught and held by a tornado of shellfire. There ■was nothing to keep them occupied; to leave the hut was certain death—we’d play band music on the Columbia, lively selections that would take their minds off of the whine and screech of shells outside. “We had 120 Columbia Grafonolas in our ‘farthest up’ huts. Over 300 Grafonolas and 5,000 records were in use in the Canadian area alone. They were an important part of our equipment.” * * * * These extracts from a letter from Captain H. A. Pearson, Senior Officer, Y. M. C. A., with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in France, paint vividly the part played by the Columbia Grafonola in the grim events “over there.” Captain Pearson, who was invalided last June, after being severely wounded when his hut was destroyed by shellfire, writes, “Give your soldier tobacco; give him music—” Send some records to your soldier boy There is a Columbia Grafonola in his Y. M. C. A. or Knights of Columbus Army Hut. Anv Columbia Dealer will be glad lo show you how to ship them safely.
