Jeff Eriksen Day
 Celebration to Be
 Event of Tomorrow

The celebration of Jeff Eriksen Day being held tomorrow by the Sons of Norway promises to be a memorable occasion, following weeks of preparation by the ladies of the club.
 The events of the day will start with a lunch served from 12 o'clock until o'clock, at which Scandina- vian dishes will be featured. A bazaar is to be held during the af- ternoon, and coffee and Swedish bread will be served.
 At o'clock the really big at traction will start-a real, old-coun- try Smorgsbord, for which the wo. men have been making many prep arations. Many of the dishes serv- ed take weeks to prepare, as all good Scandinavian cooks know, but, as all epicures know, too, they are well worth the time and effort in- volved.
 The day will end with an evening of fun and frolic, with cards, games and dancing to Scandinavian music. Tie LOOP. Hall will be the scene of the affair, and everyone is in- vited to attend any or all of the events of the day.
