MAY DAY DANCE BY
 AUXILIARY, LEGION WONDERFUL SUCCESS
DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR HOLDS BIG CROWD UNTIL A LATE
 HOUR

Another successful public affair passed into local history when the final dance, of a delightful evening, came to a close Saturday night at the Annual May Day dance, presented at Odd Fellows hall under the auspices of the Auxiliary, American Legion. The attendance was large and comprised scores of children as well as older folks.
 Streamers of beautiful sweet peas, intermingled with gay colored butter flies, interwoven about the hall, brot many exclamations of surprise from the guests. The decorations exceeded anything in previous years and many remarks were ventured as to the pro- digious amount of labor which must have gone into their making. The decorative committee displayed an ar tistic ability in arrangement greatly sl1rpassing many previous affairs of a similar nature.
 Prior to turning the floor over to l the dancers a pretty spring pageant was presented by school children The program was quite delightful and the efforts of the little ones to please were roundly applauded. When danc
