Soldier Dance
In Ballroom

The weekly soldier dance, spon-
sored by the American Legion. will
be Wednesday evening at the Ter
race Ballroom instead OF the usual
Friday evening, it has been an
nounced by J. G. Waite, Legion
chairman OF soldier entertainment.
Because it has been necessary for
the Army to utilize the building in
which dances were held at the East
Ypsilanti Camp, the Legion must
hold future dances in Ypsilanti.
Use of the Terrace Ballroom has
been donated by Herbert Paul, own
er, for Wednesday evening, and the
dance will be from p. m. until
1880 p. m. The ballroom will be
reserved during these dances solely
for the American Legion, their SOL
der guests, and junior hostesses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Magee and
~. and Mrs. Harold Augustus will
be members OF the executive com
mittee in charge of Wednesdays
dance. The Canteen will be in
charge Of the Legion.
Junior hostesses will not register
at the Legion Home but will go di-
rectly to the ballroom, where they
will sign in upon arrival and sign
out upon leaving. Soldiers may
not accompany hostesses either TO
or from the dance.
