no mistake and all was found t

ARRANGEMENTS FOR BARN
DANCE TAKING SHAPE
The arrangements for the Barn
Dance to be given by the Arctic
Brotherhood on New Year’s Eve,
are rapidly taking shape, and the
committee in charge feels confident
that it can offer the best night's
entertainment of the season to the
many patrons of the affair whom
they hope to entertain on that
Arctic Chief. A. Polet. has ap
pointed a committee to make all
arrangements for the Barn Dance.
The committee appointed is as fol
lows: H. G. Gabriel son. Chairman
assisted’ by Aimer Rydeen, Harry
S. Little, Dave L. Hofer and C. J.
Woofter. The committee above
named will hold a meeting very
shortly to polish off the arrange
ments which are already well un
The committee promises to fur
nish the best music obtainable so
that the dancers may enjoy them
selves to the utmost. Refresh
ments of some nature will be serv
ed, and the hall, as usual, will be
warm and comfortable and all the
atmosphere of a real barn dance
will be supplied.
As the dance falls on New Year's
Eve, it Is Intended to watch the
old y«sr out and escort the New
Year in in an appropriate fashion,
and as the advent of the New Year
is the time considered as appro
priate for the making of new and
good resolutions. It is expected
that a large crowd will attend the
dance that night with the idea
that "the greatest happiness is the
greatest good," and the committee
promises to make the public happy
on that last night of the Year
1924.
