some of the old folk dances introduced
in their new hall on Thursday evening,
December 28th, jmd wishes to invite
the young and old folks familiar with
their old country folk dances to per
form the same that evening.

Swedes the Polka, the Italians the
Tarantella or Furlana, the Serbians
that famous Kolo and the Greeks the
Hassapiko.
There will be an old folk dance con
test that evening and valuable prizes
will be given away by the union.
