Caption reads: MUSICAL MEN IN BLUE - The Milwaukee police department band held a concert and dance Wednesday in the Auditorium. Included in the 90 minute concert were numbers by Sgt. Arthur Rinderle on guitar and Patrolman Ronald Kleczka, accordion. Proceeds will be used to support the band, which receives no money from the police budget.
