IMPROVEMENT IN DANCES.
Restrictive Measures Taken, and More

sion Requires.

Restrictive Measures Taken, and More
Drastic Action VIII Follow il Occa,
sion Requires.
Concerted action on the part of some
organizations and individuals of the
community looking to an improvement in
the conduct of persons attending dances
in town is being taken, and developments
resulting from the steps which already
have been taken will determine the future
action of those interested in better con-
dtions.
The first step was taken by the Odd
Fellows who have refused to rent their
hall for public dances and who have spec
flied under what conditions the hall will
be rented for private parties. That Or
ganization had an opportunity to rent
the hall regularly for public dances every
two weeks during the winter season, but
refused to grant the rental. In order that
the character of dances in that hall may
be governed according to the judgment of
those in a position to judge best. George
ID. Reed, caretaker of the temple, has been
appointed special officer by the village
commissioners.
SO far as the high school dances are
concerned Principal Ernest r. Caverly
has asked that the students so conduct
themselves that there will be no cause for
criticism and it is believed the students
will be glad to observe whatever regu-
lations may be made.
At one hall where public dances are
held one woman recently was asked to
leave the hall because of the fact that
she was improperly dressed
When it is generally known that steps
are being taken to improve the 'charac-
ter of dances in town it is anticipated
that there will be hearty cooperation
on the part of everyone, thereby Obvat-
ing the necessity of more drastic action.
