Cow Highlights Dimes Drive

A cow named Molly and a funeral parade of drums and drummers draped in black featured the band's newest effort to replace its deceased drum, yesterday noon at Memorial Hall.

The effort collected $17.50 on the spot, to push the total over $500. But the band still needs $300 to pay for the new drum ordered two weeks ago.

The cow, despite bearing a sign reading "The Band Needs My Help As Well As Yours" will not be a part of new instrument, and has been returned to the Brighton Stock Yards.

The band also reported no response to its request that the Smithsonian Institute make room for the old drum, which expired last month.
