Homer NURSING. 
A course in Home Nursing will be 
given under the auspices of the Amer- 
ican Red Cross at the Beverly hospi- 
tal, beginning Friday, June 8, at 3.30, 
and continuing every Tuesday and 
Friday afternoon for 15 exercises. 
The object of the course is not only 
to teach women personal and house- 
hold hygiene, but also as a prepara- 
tion for service in a base hospital. 
At present one of the base hospital 
units in Boston has been called out; 
and others are likely to follow in a 
short time. . Under these circum- 
stances, there will be a great and urg- 
ent demand for young women at the 
base hospitals; and while those who 
have taken the course will not be lable 
for service, at the same time a _prefer- 
ance will be given to an applicant in 
a position to consider such a service 
later. Further inquiries or applica- 
tions can be made to Mrs. Raymond 
C. Allen or Dr. Francis L. Bennett.

Banb Concerts TH1Is YEAR? 
Whether Manchester is going to 
have any band concerts this summer 
is a question which is agitating a num- 
ber of citizens. The fact that condi- 
tions in the country have changed ma- 
terially since the Town voted to ap- 
propriate $500 as usual for the sum- 
mer series of concerts is giving the 
Board of Selectmen pause. They are 
wondering what the people think 
about the expenditure of the money 
and so far have taken no action to- 
ward letting a contract. Several citi- 
zens have become considerably dis- 
turbed and want to know why the 
concerts have not been arranged. 
They think it is hardly in the line of 
economy to cut out the band concerts, 
which furnish pleasure and_ inspira- 
tion to hundreds of people in the sum- 
mer, and then spend $5000 on a cam- 
paign to exterminate mosquitoes. 
For the present the Selectmen are 
letting the matter slide. They do not 
think the matter of sufficient import- 
ance to warrant the calling of a spe- 
cial meeting to rescind the appropria- 
tion if such is the wish of the people 
nor do they care to let the matter 
drop entirely. If those interested in 
having the band concerts this season 
would express their sentiments to the 
Selectmen it is probable that some ac- 
tion would be taken. 
The Breeze has heard a number of 
decided protests against allowing the 
concerts to be abandoned. Those who 
have mentioned the subject feel that 
this summer particularly people are 
going to need all the cheering influ- 
ences possible and that one of the- 
cheapest and sanist forms of amuse- 
ment and recreation will be that pro- 
vided by a band concert, 
To New ParisH. 
Announcement was made this week 
of the transfer of Rev. Fr. Mark J. 
Sullivan, pastor of the Sacred Heart 
church in Manchester, to the parish 
of All Saint’s church of Roxbury. 
The regret of his parishioners at the 
loss of their pastor after seven years 
of ministry will be softened by the 
knowledge that he is going to a bigger 
field. His successor will be Rev. Fr. 
W. George Mullen of Lowell. The 
transfer will take effect next Monday. 
By an initial payment of $1 you 
can buy a Liberty Bond. Ask your 
banker.
