The Old Piece
Watson Post Runs

The ghosts of the old Clef club
in Minneapolis and its predeces-
sors have probably had apoplexy
when they looked up or down. de-
pending where they're at, when
they saw what had been done TO
their old habitat.
The George Watson American
Legion Post, 522, has taken over
the old site of the former Clef
club on the third floor of the old
Kistler building on the corner of
Olson Highway and Lyndale Av
N, and completely renovated 1t.
The club rooms have been COM
pletely modernized TO a tune of
some $4,000 and the result has
been that people who were at the
grand opening last Saturday are
still talking about it.
The new rooms have been called
the most beautiful in the two
communities and are comparable
to any in this area.
The dancing floor is spacious.
The seating arrangement is
unique in that it is on two levels,
one on the dance floor and the
other on a mezzanine directly
over the dance floor and all a
round the dance floor there is a
row of seats that could be best
described as one big sofa.
John Richey. post commander.
who is managing the club said
that IL can seat over 200 and ac-
comodate about 400.
He went on to say that the club
Is open on Friday. Saturday and

open every night.
Oscar Frazier and his band is

name bands in and feature floor
shows on occasion.
