It will be officially initiated Dec. 10. Five thousand is the expected attendance at the dance. While the Daily Worker mail box is choked with appeals from south- ern toilers to rush their only paper to the hells in which they are ex- ploited, workers are advised to get behind in the rush for tickets.
