About 80 couples found the hall of
the American Legion clubhouse on
Church street very enjoyable place
to spend an evening dancing, espe-
cially on Christmas night. The crowd
was neither too large nor too small
for the hall The hall was hastily
decorated in streamers of red, white
and blue, with Evergreen. In confor-
nifty were the clubrooms down stairs,
which were open to all during the eve
ming. A four-piece orchestra, led by
Charles Collins, furnished very salts
factory music for the occasion, and
when at IL o'clock the dancing ceased
the large group of young people did
so with reluctance and only in re-
speet to the Sabbath. Refreshments
of punch, waters and ice cream were
served during the short intermission.
