Harmony School Can Now
Enrol! Fifty Students
The Harmony School of Piano Tun-
ing, Harrisburg, Pa., owing to its
steady growth has again moved to
larger quarters. Its new address is
122 South Cameron Street.
In announcing the new quarters,
John Collins Cake, head of the school,
said:
"The progres of my students up to
the present time certainly proves the
correctness of my system of training.
We were licensed last December 13th
but I have graduated two students who
came to me early in September and I
will put them up against any tuner in
the country, regardless of his training.
"We quickly outgrew our North
Sixth Street quarters and have taken
over a three-story and basement build-
ing on one of the* most prominent busi-
ness streets. We have a loading plat-
form, freight
elevator
and about
twelve thousand square feet of floor
space. We have eighteen veterans en-
rolled and twelve others who have not
been in the service. I could not say

Mr. Daurer remained with General
Patton's fast moving Third Army on
through
South
Central
Germany,
crossed the Danube River near Regens-
burg, and continued across Southeast-
ern Germany into Austria. He was

Russian Army West of Vienna. This
was the farthest point East that Amer-
ican troops had gone in Europe.
After VE Day, he traveled through-
out Europe looking for news items

Having visited
ten different countries, he obtained a
wealth of experience and knowledge
of European customs and traditions.
