Music Hath Charms
The ward of Isolation No. 3 has been shown a spirit of
fuller service which deserves attention. Through the generosity and efforts of
the ward orderlies and the giving of small sums by patients, a gramophone has
been bought for the building. Twenty records have been purchased during the few
weeks that the musical instrument has been in use. Private Wallace Judd has
acted as purchasing agent for the ward and his selection of records proves his
judgment.
Every one of the records are played in each of the five
departments of the ward each day. Figuring from the scientific fact that it
requires 126 revolutions of the disc to render the selection “She Is the
Sunshine of Virginia,” one of the number, it is estimated that the revolving
base must make at least 12,600 turns in amusing the patients during each 24
hours.
Making Insurance
Drive
Top Sergeant P.J. Dempsey is bending every effort to induce
all men of the detachment to take out government life insurance. He has
delivered talks on the subject to the men assembled at the medical classes. He
calls attention to the fact that February 12 is the last day for securing the
valuable protection.
More than 30 per cent of the men have already taken out
“safety first” policies. All the amounts secured by the soldiers so far are
between $5000 and $10,000.
