A square dance band from Tennessee has been engaged, and will play at the dances, which will be held each Saturday night beginning at 8:30. Until this time all square dances have been sponsored by the Legion but the public was invited to attend. A new ruling, voted on by the members, now limit the attendance to members and their guests. This should enable the Legion to get more members and conduct more ord- erly dances, as each member is responsible for his guests, Hotdogs, softdrlnks and coffee are provided for refreshments in between the dances. Any eligible veteran can join by seeing Hubert Lacy at the ys “Bestaurant or any member member of ol the the Legion. L..I
