Dance 10 Stay Young,
Is Advice Of Expert

If you wish to stay young, get
some music and dance-then
dance some more.
Such, in effect, is the advice Of
DR.. E. c. Linderman, who tells
for the Works Progress Admins
tration, how people should spend
their leisure hours.
DR.. Linderman, who gave his
advice in a talk last night before
the Recreation Institute Of the
Community Center, at a meeting
held in Franklin School, said he
learned that dancing keeps one
youthful while studying the GUS
toms Of Indians in Guatemala.
