1000 tickets had been sold. This is
not correct, bur probably was due to
the fact that the tickets are selling
fast and certainly all will be sold by
the time of the dinner. But they are
not all sold now By any means, and
those who have not yet purchased
tickets can obtain them either at
Cones Whitehall store or at Elkin-
Watson's drug store

/ by Monday night the committee will
issue more on Tuesday morning in
order that all who wish TO participate
. may do so, to the limit of 1900.
