...peaceful folk all over the U. S. last week went a series of curdling injunctions to keep America out of World War II. Black type, slick paper, photographs of horribly wounded and starved victims of war were the propaganda materials of the American Federation of Peace. Sample atrocities...
Assuming that Royal Oak was patrolling the North Sea (where some critics said a ship of its type had no business to be), its course was made known to the Germans either by espionage or by radio communication between reconnaissance airplanes or submarines. The German submarine then stationed itself along Royal Oak's path, turned off its engines to avoid detection, rested on the bottom, waited till the battleship came by, discharged a shoal of torpedoes.

Most of the good lead men in the band are from New Orleans, and therefore playing good blues is practically second nature to them. More about this fine bunch next week when a little more space is lying around...
