Church Club Dances
The Young Peoples Club of st.

of Georgetown is sponsor of series
of dances, which will be given each
Tuesday evening at the New Century
Club building. The first dance was
held Tuesday evening, Oct. 9Th, at
$50 p. m. The young folks secured
an excellent six piece orchestra to
furnish the music for the series, and
hope for the support of not only
Georgetown, but of other towns in
Sussex County. These dances are
planned in order to fill a long felt
need for a series of we'll conducted
dances, to give all, regardless of age,
a delightful evening of dancing in
congenial company to good music;
the hope is that the people of George
town will support this effort on the
part of the young people by attend
ing and make these affairs really a
success.
