laughs.
The next delightful part of the
program consisted of Professor Jack
son of the Musicians Union and Paul
Erler, Jr, a young man about 81
years old, playing a violin duet. Fol
lowing this, Professor Jackson gave
limitations on his violin of a singing
canary bird, the braying of a don
key, the squeaking of a water pump
and the playing of a church organ.
No party would be complete with
out Frank Heffern and his famous
accordion. Frank can almost make
the instrument talk. Another out
standing hit of the evening was
Harvey King and his educated trum-
pet. 1t would be difficult to men
ton who was best in all of these
performances. They were all so
good it would be a crime to make
a choice.
A group of three called the Rocky
Mountain Trio rendered yeoman
service. These three consisted of
George Wetkiff, Carl Wright, and
Harvey King. A ripple of admira-
ton was noticeable when Miss Fran
ces Logan began her part, singing
a number of popular jazz songs ac-
companied by the above mentioned
Rocky Mountain Trio, She was
gracious and charming. Buddy
Newton was next on the program in
songs accompanied by Carl Wright.
He was followed by Dennis Sullivan
and songs by the Rocky Mountain
Trio. Both of these men received
the applause of the house.
Palmer from his elevation on the
rostrum next announced the ap-
poiatment of Eddie Price as director
of the next phase of the program
which consisted of songs by the en-
tire house with music furnished by
members of the Musicians Union. If
there yer vas a gathering that Ed
die Price couldn't pep up they've
long passed beyond, they are Ger
tainly not of this earth. But it must
be admitted that the crowd at the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil social certainly were in the mood
to be exhilarated and it didn't take
much pressure by Eddie to do the
trick. Everyone laughed and sang
and laughed some more, especially
at Eddie Prices antics and humor-
Gus remarks. He dedicated one par
ticular song to the Cousin Jacks as
he called them, namely, my Wild
Irish Rose" and then he dedicated
the next song to the Irish, Going
Up Camborne Hill Coming Down.
Mayor Charles Hauswirth held a
dignified position on the officers
stand. He was surrounded by
bottles, whether of his own or OF
the other celebrities, no one seemed
to be able to determine. 1t was
noticed though that he had to un-
loosen the top button of his trou-
sers. He was called by Eddie Price
to sing a song, but instead he gave
some outlandish dramatic sketch
Palmer said it was one of Shake
speare's. However, this was denied
by the more erudite members of the
Council. The Mayor refused tt
commit himself as to who wrote the
piece, but Notwithstanding, all these
} conjectures, the characterization wa:
put forth, equalled that of the ia.
nous Borus Karloff. They didn''
think the Mayor had so much drama
in his system.
AS a windup of a perfect night, {

kin ring. This group consisted o.

If the author of this article ha
overlooked any names or any par
of the program, he wishes to apollo
gize, as he tried to include everyon,
who participated.
AS an afterthought, however, tina
should not be overlooked, was Jacl
Driscoll, the dignified officer of tn
Federal Labor Union doing the Bi
Apple dance.
Members of organized labor VIII
missed this party have something t
regret for the rest of their natura
lives.
