number of votes cast for each
contestant at the series of dances

six dances, but the brief time re-

which the several better night
club operators are responding to
our invitation to cooperate may
necessitate a reduction in the
number contemplated. Mr.. Smith

Plans for the dances call for the
night club operators to donate the

Committee paying a major part of
