The council spokesmen, asserting
newspapers we're deYoting more
space to auto accidents than to
news in any other single category,
accorded them much credit for the
improved record.
The council has enlisted Al states,
the District of Columbia and sc
cities in a campaign to force a seven

ties in each of the next five years.

the Jack NAPLES, Ruth Ann Holz-

had other groups. Between the
halves the George Diapers in
vited quite a large number OF
guests to their home for re-
freshments. A good time was
had by those members Of the
young set who were Betty Ham
mond's guests for breakfast,
where hot cakes and sausage
was the menu. And the fun was,
that one of the boys acted as
chef. You can just imagine what
glee that caused. Cotillion Clubs
have been formed in most of the
larger towns downs State and the
courtesies have been exchanged
for the dances. This made a
large group gather for the dance
on Tuesday evening. the decora-
tions for which were beautiful,
all done in red and white. Mr..
Edward M. Davis was host to
about eighty friends for refresh
ment at Hotel windsor between
halves OF this dance. And the
New Year had a glorious greet
ing when the magic hour came
for the dancers. SO you see the
dances were "the thing" for all
groups It has been pleasant to
see many visitors and those who
have joined their families for
these days. Sunday will termi-
nate many vacations. Our school
started Yesterday amid groans
and sighs of many who dreaded
the long grind ahead. The snow
has been deep most Of the week
end shedding proved a happy
pastime for the boys and girls.
But there has been no skating
Some Of the bridge clubs have
resumed their meetings again.
Edwin and Florence Messick en-
tertained the Tuesday Bridge
Club along with the husbands.
and they made a merry group
who greeted the New Year. Ruth
Marshall is hostess for the Fri
day Luncheon Club today and
Miss Burdelle Davis has the We'd
nesday Evening Bridge Club this
evening. So in a few days every
'ne will be settled back in the
Usual groove with pleasant mem
'ries Of 1885. After this long
'ecording you may not like the
fort to be repeated. But there
eemed so much to tell, Please
orgivel Il is still in quite good
rider for me to wish you, your
mother and the boys a very
iappy New Year.
Devotedly.

their escorts enjoyed an evening
OF dancing to the music played

Nils Schreffler. whose father is
the new manager of Hotel Wind

dance with covers for eight. The
next group was the Senior Girl
Reserves who had their dance in
Grange Hall, with Jimmie Adams
and his orchestra playing the
tunes for the dancing. That was
on Thursday evening of last
week. About fifty were there
and It was a fine picture these
young folks made with their
lovely colored dresses against
the darker suits of the boys for
a background. The two large
dances were given in varney
Auditorium. The annual Christ
mas one was on Friday evening
and the Cotillion Club had its
second annual dance on New
