The United States Navy
Band, “The World’s Finest,"
became the Navy’s official
band on March 4,1925, the day
Calvin Coolidge was inaugu-
rated President of the United
States. On that date President
Coolidge signed a special act
of the 68th Congress recogniz-
ing this band as the perman-
ent representative band of the
United States Navy.
Since 1925, the Navy Band
has travelled throughout Am-
erica each year on tours

1925, for its roots are actually
those of music in the United
States Navy itself.
The first recognized Navy
musician was James F.
Draper who, in 1825, signed
aboard the American Frigate,
“Brandywine." Little is
known about Navy musicians
prior to that date, but soon
after Draper’s arrival on the
scene, other ships carried
three or four instrumentalists
who were called out on special
occasions.
Soon there was a band
maintained by the Navy in the
nation’s Capitol at the Washin-
ton Navy Yard. Immediately
following World War I,
however, the band had
dwindled to four musicians, a

Rabies in man doesn’t
happen too often, but the
disease still is one to be
reckoned with because of its
presence in wildlife and the
increase in the number of pets
owned by Texans.
Those who believe that an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure should guard
their pets against rabies by
having them vaccinated, says
the Texas State Department of
Health. It is a good way of
protecting your pets-and
yourself-against the threat of
rabies.
Rabies last year was on the
increase after a record low
number of cases in 1970.
Following a low of only 226
cases, laboratory confirmed
animal rabies rose to 322 cases
in 1971, *
