In the evening delicious 'epokies given by Jynasau women were enjoyed, and a number of women volunteered and rendered very important and necessary ser- vice by serving refreshments in the canteen, and also introducing the visitors to home folks. Two Dance Parties The USO was too small to accom- modate all who desired to dance. Dancers were divided in their pre- ferences. The ones who preferred to “Jitterbug” remained at the USO and executed their maneuvers to juke box music and records, and others who wished to square dance followed the parade to the CIO Hall led by the committee, Henry God- dard, Chairman; Lester Linehan and John Oberg. To the spirited old- time tunes played by E. MclIntyre, violinist; with Mrs. Carl C. Collen, pianist, they danced square dance with a few waltzes and snhomwhm intersperced, until 11:45 p, m., just in time to reach their boats by the midnight deadline. Four sets were in motion, with an equal number of ectators enjoying the music and action. A special entertainment feature was provided by the versatile Buddy Rice and Billie Vaisvila, vocalists and instrumentalists. Buddy on the uitar, and Billie on the Banjo, play- ed their own accompaniment to Southern melodies and received rousing applause calling for repeat- ed encores, particularly from the boys from Dixie. - nctional Chesterfield is tar ., . .
