 The East Canaan minstrel show was presented at Town Hall, Canaan Thurs evening and the various numbers were greeted by vociferous applause. The clog dancing by Ball and Sweeney is de- serving of special mention. Both "hoed 1t down" like veterans and with clock like procession. The spectacle of ladies participating in the first part of the show was an innovation to a Canaan, audience. But why not?
