) dances for the young folk o
! Georgetown and vicinity so lonl
asr they continue to be well pa
, tronized. The first of the eventI
|, was held on Tuesday night of las
week when more than one hun
, dred high school girls and boys
attended with music by the Musi
cal knights, a high school orches-
ira. The venture was started, af-
ter much discussion by the Grang-
ers. in order to afford the young
people an opportunity to have fun
properly chaperoned, during the
summer months when school ac-
tivities are not in effect. Moreover,
a shortage of gasoline keeps the

homes.
