as definitely "chic.' Tillie Mi
lavec, also wearing a black dres:
which is an original creation
looked stunning.
Tony Kinkopf was seen dane
ing with Mary Kovacich most OF
the evening. Good dancer, huh
Tony? Doris Kollmorgan and
Mary Surga frightened up the
check room with their smiles
Johnny Zgonc was giving all the
lucky women another break, as
per usual. Jackie Boyd and Dor
othy Bevec got a kick out of
watching a certain someone
learning to dance in high heels.
| wonder who that could be? She
complained about it all night.
Lillian Kinkopf was having a
good time dancing all evening
with a lot of sharp-looking men.
BY the way, who was Joe
Hrvatin directing traffic with in
front Of Recher Hall? Could it
be a female maybe?
Most of the dancers noticed
that the Dolenc brothers were
the outstanding wolves of the
evening.
The 185 Street Gang appeared
in full force spending some of
their time dancing and most of
the time downstairs. For the
benefit of those who don't know
about these fellows, they usual
" put their ties in their jacket
pockets. Gene was pretty busy
asking all the girls to go out
with him October 31st. Must be
something pretty special, huh?
The Ivancics and Kinkopfs
were we'll represented both at
the concert and at the dance. Of
all things, they took over the
front row at the concert. Later
in the evening they spent great
deal of time downstairs. What
was 50 outstanding down there,
fellows?
Most of the fellows had hard
tine telling the Zaller girls
apart. We wonder why?
We understand that "Adria"
certainly appreciated the as
sistance of Eddie Eckart at the
concert. He did the announcing
for the club. Also, he kept all
the girls happy at the dance.
The following Euclid Vets
helped out in the afternoon and
evening: Stan Pluth, Tony Zore,
Rudy Pesec, Fred Mocnik, Rudy
Kinkopt, Beanie Janezic and Ed
Bartol. On behalf of "Adria"-
thanks, boys! Also many thanks
to Emilee Jenko for the swell
JOB she did in the cashiers booth
during the program.
vi Mocnik, Mary Vidmar and
Carolyn Zaller did a wonderful
job of supervising the affair;
as did Millie Drugovich and Tom
Zajc.
Well be seeing you at Adria's
Harvest Moon Dance November
18th at the Recher Hall. You
will again be dancing to the mu-
sic of Al Strukel's Sextet. o. K?
Swell!

ton III the airports from the spot
So marked were urged today by
J. G. Hancock, chief aircraft COM
municator for the Civil Aeronau-

structures.
Al least one sign should be

in the sign should be at least 20
feet high.
1T is safety factor" said
Hancock of the proposed markers
The city will get some publicity
from such sign or signs. The
fact that Key West has such d
sign would be listed in the Off
