No. 2 ?d his 52-piece band is "pro gressing well" and be said be expects to have it ready for an appearance "as soon as pos sible." The trouble now, the director explained, is inexperience, rath er than a shortage of instru ments. Of the 52 members, only five have previous band ex perience, he said. "It is going to take a little time," Mr. Orr pointed out, "There is more to the job than just giving them an instru ment." Band members are putting in about three night practice ses sions weekly, in addition to the regular daily band period at the high school. Practice ses sions are held at Slagle Me morial Building. The band marched, but did not play, at Franklin's last home game two weeks ago and plans to repeat this tomorrow < Friday ,1 here. "1 can say one thing for certain," the band director com mented^ "the band .members are willing . . . and that's what it take* to build a band." The instruments purchased for the band by the Boosters included five baritones, six French horns, five saxaphones, and two clarinets. These are being rented to the members by the school and the rental will be used to make repairs and to buy miscellaneous equip ment. A' credit arrangement was made by the Boosters in order to obtain the instruments as soon as possible. The money is now being raised through the individual county P. T. A.'s and from other sources. Officials of the Boosters have said It is the aim of the club to put the band on its feet first and then concentrate on helping the elementary schools buy Instru ments for promising young musicians advancing to high school. Mi;. Orr said the band still needs some very necessary items, including music stands. But, the band members person ally plan to raise the money for these, he said. They will open a shampoo sale as a money-making scheme soon. It's Dryman's FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING Gifts That He Will Like! Use our Lay-Away Plan, shop early while selections are good.

"Well JuBt have to wait and see," was "Aunt Jane's" reply. Funeral services for Mrs. Bry son, who was born 11 years be fore the Civil War, were con ducted Friday at 2 p. m. at the Salem Methodist Church, of which she was a member. The pastor, the Rev. David Barkley, officiated, assisted by the Rev. Fred Sorrells and the Rev. D. P. Grant. Burial was in the church cemetery. The daughter of William L. and Mrs. Martha Ann Jennings Deal, Mrs. Bryson, at the age of 23, (March 29, 1874) was mar ried to John T Bryson, of this I county, who died a number of years ago. Together they built their home on Bryson Branch. "Aunt Jane's" family is large. Seven of her eight sons are 1 still living and she has 40 grandchildren, 73 great-grand children, and 15 great-great i grandchildren. Her sons are William M., | j Charles B., Sam A., and J. El bert, all of Cullasaja, George, of Sedro-Woolley, Wash., Joseph T., of Terrebonne, O.veg., and Beu lon Bryson, of Ela. 1 Although she had been blind 1 1 for some 13 years, "Aunt Jane" J 1 took great delight in giving j 1 birthday parties ? with enough ' ; food and desserts to feed a ' < small army ? and especially in receiving boxes of stick pepper- 1 1 mint candy, which poured into her home in a steady stream along with greeting cards. ?'Make sure everyone gets enough to eat," she would say from her chair in front of the fireplace. Sammy, Vernon, Marion, Bill, and Fred Bryson and Lex Van hook were pallbearers. Potts Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. No. 4 Some interior painting and the lettering of names on the office doors still remains un done at the center. This work is expected to be completed 900n with local labor, according to Lake V. Shope, secretary to the Macon Board of County Commissioners. Early in October, although the center was virtually com plete, the move into the build ing was held up because the Interior painting and lettering had not been done. However, last week, although the work still had not been done, the go-ahead was given for the move. The opening of the new cen ter in no way changes the program of the health depart ment, Mrs. Shope emphasized. She said the department will continue to carry out a pro gram of "well baby clinics, pub lic sanitation, and immuniza tions of all kinds." A general clinic will be held each Tuesday from 9 a. m. to 4:30 p. m., as in the past, and a baby clinic the last Thursday of each month from 9 a. tn. to 1 p. jil, she said. Later, the department hopes to obtain an X-ray machine from the state, the nurse dis closed, in order to put more emphasis on a tuberculosis de tection program. The health department open ed in the Ashear Building April 23, 1943. The new center, which was erected on land donated by Dr. Edgar Angel, was financed by the county and the Medical Care Commission, a state agen cy which assists counties with putting up centers. Macon's share of the cost was roughly $6,000. Offices for the public health nurse, district health officer, sanitarian, and clerk and treat ment rooms make up most of the building.
