EVE BALL PROVES
DELIGHTFUL EVENT

With effective decorations form
ing an attractive setting for the
event, the New Years eve ball
given at Masonic hall last night by
Signal Chapter o. f. S. No. 276 was
decided success. Approximately
ESQ members of the Eastern Siar,
Masous and their families and
friends were present.
Under the direction of Mrs. Don
Wells, chairman of the decorating
committee, graceful frieze of
athel trees had been placed about
the ball room and entrance hall. Tall
baskets of poinsettias furnished the
contrasting color for the holiday
color scheme.
Excellent music was furnished by
five piece orchestra from San Di-
ego, and delicious punch was serv-
ed throughout the evening.
Shortly before midnight, the
grand march was opened with Mrs.
c. w. Maitland, worthy matron of
Signal chapter and w. D. Carey
leading. Mr.. and Mrs. James Seho-
neld, air. and Mrs. Ralph Reynolds
and Mr.. and NJ. C. II. DuSold came
next in line. just preceding the
stroke of midnight the orchestra
stopped and the arrival of the new
year was greeted by the stroke of
12. Favors, consisting of bells for
the ladies and horns for the men,
were then distributed and the ad-
vent of 1927 greeted with much
noise and merriment. Confetti
'snow balls added to the gaiety.
One Of the features of the eve
ming was a spot light dance, planned
by Miss Julia Foncannon. Spot
lights, ccnterc dfrom the corners of
the room on large silver star sus-
pended from the ceiling, furnished
the illumination.
A decided hit was made by the
appearance Of group of young
dancers from the Wooda Blesy stu
dio. Carrying out an original dance
creation of Mrs. Blesy's, seven dane
ers, costumed as little polar bears
appeared from n snow covered ig-
loo. Masks worn by the dancers
added to the realistic effect. The
antics of the little "bears' and the
removal of their bear heads when
they made their bows in response to
continued applause made the num-
Der a unique and entertaining one.
Dancers taking part were Edna
Stiltz, Lillian Mccormick, Ada Bess
Bcynon, Lou Anna Cunningham,
Leamara Lane, Margaret Barnes
and Annabelle Stiltz.
Those composing the committee ON
general arrangements were w. D..

OF Interest To

the matter has been given consid-

Defender and other big news

Nogales, Ariz., Apr. 2, 1927
Editor of international,
Nogales, Arizona
Dear SIR
House Bill No. lat, which is
my Bill concerning the repeal of
the School Census Law, was
written up" in the Arizona Daily
Star about March the 18th, or
very soon after it's passage.
Senator Bettwy and / worked
very hard and untiringly for the
passage of this bill to relieve the
Teachers of Arizona.
In writing up the bill The Star
confused it, saying that it was a
law segregating the colored stud
ents of the High School from the
whites. This is entirely untrue
as House Bill 14Y merely quotes
the section concerning negro stud
ents which has been a law ever
since the First Legislature. This

law was Section ID of 2733 and
according to Law the whole sec
tion must be quoted.
Such Misrepresentation as the
Star deals in is inexcusable. Per-
haps it was a mistake. If so /
know The Star will gladly retract
its statements. Not only in be-
half of the negro people, who have
been so falsely informed and
whom I have protected through
out the Legislative Session by
killing a bill which did restrict
them but also because of the Ari-
zona Teachers who have been de-
prived of the knowledge that
House Bill lat really repeals the
School Census law, which The Star
criticised so staunchly in an
editorial two years ago upon it's
passage, l desire to correct this
very unjust sentiment which The
Star has aroused by publishing
such an article.
Sincerely,
