Singing has been given credit
for aiding in the winning of the *

as much to banish the nation's
cares and bring happiness tJ '
countless thousands as the re- '
vived popular pastime introduced c
by radio, known to the listener
as "Community sings," or "Come '
on, let's sing."
The family of two or the
family of twelve enjoy these
j community sings because they
I have a part in them. The light
house keeper on a lonely island
or the light housekeeper in he: i
apartment drops everything to
jbin in the community sing.
I
Everyone likes to sing the old
songs that bring back memories
of happy days. Station WBIG, ;n

I necessary equipment and is lay
ing extensive plans to bring a
| community sing right into Dan
