Rev O. H. Dyreborg had planned
on a trip to Dagmar, Mont, where he
was to assist with a Young Peoples
school for about two weeks and an
nouncement had been made that there
would be no services in the local
church the next two Sundays, but the

The Internationally celebration
held at the D. B. S. hall Monday af-
ternoon and evening appeared to be
much enjoyed by all who attended,
ana there was big crowd. Folk
dancing was presented by eight coup
les and a feature of this was that
both young and old took part-not
exactly old either-for none are any
older than they feel. In one of the
sets of four couples there was a moth
er and two daughters-Mrs. S. Chr
DiXen, and Mrs. Arnold C.. Sorensen
and Mrs. Chris. Frederiksen-and Mr..
Dixen was one of the men. 1t was a
treat to see parents and their children
enjoy themselves together such as
they did and this was true of the en-
tire event One part of the program
was the showing of scenes from the
different parts of Denmark-the var
iods costumes being in keeping with
their section of the country. This
part was explained by Chris. Fred
eriksen in the afternoon and by V. S.
Petersen who was the "Lenten King"
in the evening. Then there were al
so the clowns to help make mirth, a
a little German band, costumes
dating back about 200 years, some of
them worn by young ladies who
looked rather comical with their long
trains when they occasionally did
few stunts of modern dancing. Most
of the dancing was of the old time
variety and good accordian music
was furnished by c. P. Christensen,
Niels P. Nielsen, and Peder Miltersen.
The Askov orchestra also played a
few numbers. Young and old danced
together and it was real frolic with
much variety in dress-this especially
lending color to the occasion. Good
Lenten buns and coffee was also
enjoyed.
