The community entertainment at
School Hall last Friday night was
given to a packed house and every
number presented was received with
enthusiasm. From the first number, a
chorus by the school children, to the
grand finale by the DORSET Black
Face Entertainers" the large audi
ence showed that they appreciated as
well as enjoyed the entertainment.
To select any one or two as especially
good would be impossible as all filled
their respective places with vim and
ability of veterans. The receipts
amounted to over seventy dollars and,
with donations by many who were un-
able to attend the entertainment, will
be about sufficient to meet all Of the
expenses Of the community tree.
Through The Journal Dorset residents
wish to express their thanks to all OF
those who worked so hard for the
pleasure Of the community and to
raise the necessary funds to buy the
presents for our children. The fol-
lowing is the program Of the second
part Of the entertainment: Interloc-
