'took charge of the band early in December'; concerts 'at the county poor farm on Dec. 16'
A company newsletter reports under 'New Band Leader Making Good' that C. W. Lanyon, who works in the paint shop, took charge of the band early in December and is proving a very efficient leader. He can play any instrument in the 50-piece band, which the item says has been a great help to all the bandsmen. He has organised and led three different bands in various parts of the country; he played with the 18th Regiment band for six years and was with the Commonwealth band in Pennsylvania for ten. Concerts by the band at the county poor farm on 16 December and at the Auxiliary meeting in Association hall on Thursday nights are said to show a steady improvement in its music. Identity not asserted: this scan is filed in the Cool Wisdom Books gallery for Walter C. Lanyon, the New Thought author, but the item names C. W. Lanyon and describes a paint-shop worker. No person is linked to this event.
