.K|WANS CLUB SETS
NEW STANDARD WITH
ITS LADIES' NIGHT"

What was described afterward as
not only one of the finest affairs
ever staged by the organization but
one of the most entertaining and
! enjoyable ever held at the new Phoe-
nix country club was given by the
Kiwanis club last evening in its
annual Ladies' Night program.
The program started at Z o'clock
in the evening and lasted until after
midnight. 1t included a dinner
which set a new mark for such at
fairs in the Country Club. and enter
tainment series during the dinner IN
which part was taken by the best tai
ent Of the city, a burlesQue dramatic
performance which was a scream
from start to finish, and, finally, a
dance which was enjoyable from the
opening of the first fox-trot to the
final bars Of Home, Sweet Home.
More than 200 Kiwanians and their
ladies attended the dinner, the. main
dining room of the Country club be-
ing filled to capacity with the club
members and their guests. The
tables were colorfully decorated, the
arrangements were carefully prepared,
and from the beginning there was an
air of congeniality and informality
about the affair which added defi-
nitely to the enjoyment of those in
attendance.
The entertainment features, which
were unusually fine, were provided
bv Miss Elizabeth Toohy, whose
voice was in perfect tone and power,
and who was encored repeatedly;
e. A. Harrington, whose fine voice
is matched by the dramatic quality
of his singing: Allan Campbell. son
of Gov. Thomas e. Campbell, whose
pianologues We're one of the hits Of
the evening, and the Harelip quar-
tette Of the Junior chamber OF COM
merce, whose characterization OF
members of the Kiwanis club and
other songs were as funny as they
were out -ordinary. Added
to these was Pixley's orchestra,
piest and smoothest of music for the
dancing but which took a definite
and important part In the dinner pro-
gram.
The buriesque minstrel show was
as amusing and entertaining as 1t
could be. b. ". Won Sender as a
scarecrow: "Jim" Leach, a soubrette;
Jim Mulrein, a Hebrew comedian;
r. p. Kyle as a member OF the
s.K XXX" Frank Cundiff, Erskine
Mason and Lew Sadler we're the
principals Of the show. which was
original local in application, funny
as circus and entertaining as
presentation or much greater pre-
tensions. The orchestral accom-
paniment was provided BY Leo
Weaver and Donald Dunbar at two
pianos, played in unison and adding
greatly to the worth Of the show.
An added feature of the evening
was the singing of several Hawaiian
songs by Tom Dunbar whose songs
were equailed by the jazz quality OF
his ukelele playing.
The dinner was presided over BY
.J. +. Alkire, president OF the CLUB,
while Royal w. Lescher was master
of-ceremonies during the dance.
The entertainment program was un-
der the direction Of B. v. Won Sender.

Pasteurization Still
Topic Of Discussion
Wolf Hall to be Scene of
Meeting-Expenses
Big Problem

Pasteurization still remains the
topic of much discussion here in New
ark but there have been no definite
steps taken in the mater this week.
The next time that the subject will
be officially discussed will be at the
meeting of the Town Council the first
Monday night in February.
What will be done at this meeting
is question that will remain unan-
swered until that time but it is
thought that the ordinance presented
sometime ago by the Board Of Health
will be passed with some amendments.
The ordinance as presented would
prohibit the sale of any milk in New
ark that was not pasteurized but
from the action taken at the meeting
of Council at the last meeting it is
evident that changes will be made so
that certified or thoroughly inspected
milk may be sold.
Although there has not been any
meetings recently to discuss the sub
ject the matter has not been dropped
and many of those in favor of pas
teurization are still making fight to
have a pasteurization plant located
here, either town or privately owned

What on earth does that mean?
Ones mind wavers from geometry
to screen film plots an dthe riddle gos
unsolved.
The key to the solution is this: The
Triangle was adopted years ago as an
emblem, or trademark if you will, of
the National Women's Christian AS
sociation, the symbol representing the
three angles which the normal life of
a girl should embrace, the PHYSICAL,
the mental and the spiritual.
SO now comes the Triangle close to
our homes in the nature of Y. w. c.
A. campaign where everyone who
loves girls, those who own them and
those who just love them because
they are young and enthusiastic and,
let us say just because they are girls
here then comes the Triangle to our
own town, Newark, where all will
have a chance to prove their interest
by boosting for all they are worth.
The plan is this:
All Delaware outside of Whining.
ton is divided into two districts, the
northern district, which includes
Newark, and the Southern District
which includes all Delaware south Of
Wyoming. Each district is campaign
ing to secure funds enough to enable
them to employ a trained Y. M. c. A

and who will organize groups Of girl
