TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUB
PARTY POSTPONED,

Due to circumstances beyond our
control the Twentieth Century Club
will not be able to present its an
nual Pre-Lenten party.
The power of race discrimination
the renters of private clubs and
halls hold, has blocked every move
the Twentieth Century Club has
made in trying to give you an out
standing party.
Our regrets will be felt in your
keen disappointment. However, the
public will not be denied Twenti-
eth Century entertainment in the
year of 1887.
We ask your kind indulgence and
in return the Twentieth Century
Club will offer to you, in the very
near future, a dance that will top
all other Twin City entertainment.

Richard Adams, Sec'y.
