will throw open the gates to all Elks

it was stated on the authority Of the
entertainment committee that Otto
Ohmstede would sing a vocal solo,
but it was the request of the chair
man that nothing about the said solo
be published at thist time, as it might
prevent some of the amateurs from
appearing on the program. However,
the committee emphasized the fact
that Yancey McFadden had volun-
teered to dance a real old fashioned
Irish Highland Fling, and it is the
hope of those in charge that this
number can find place on the pro-
gram.
Another feature of the program
will be tug of war between the
