Dinner Dance Success


The dinner dance given by the au-
tomobile dealers of Imperial Valley at
the Barbara Worth hotel Saturday
evening was one Of the largest and
imost important social events OF the
season.
Their guests, assembled from all
parts of the valley, truly made the al
fair a countrywide event. Dancing
began at nine o'clock when President
H. F. O'Byrne and wife lead the
grand march of nearly 200 couples.
At the finish of the march A. Fl. kel-
lar of the First National Bank, in
few very touching remarks presented
a very beautifully colored and hand
painted tin dipper to President
O'Byrne and wife as being the most
popular couple present.
/ Mr.. O'Byrne very gracefully ac-
cepted the token and assured every
enc that they were there for no other
purpose than to have royal good
time to the end that all would be-
come better acquainted and have
better understanding of just who and
what the Automobile Dealers Asso
citation was.
