They are enhanced by artistry and durability. The designs in the molded trays are hand inlaid of shells, coral or metal. The wide selection of theme includes col- orful tropical fish, a brilliant red lobster, a handsome mobile, and a cute dachshund. The one of the gorgeous sailfish with its ex- quisite natural hues captured in- tact and the sail itself a phan- tom gray, flecked lightly with bright color was terrific. You can drown this sail fish many times with liquid or boiling wa- ter—and he‘ll still surface un- harmed!

Carl and Arlene, a comic dance team, entertained the audience with a variety of stunts and “rolli- boli.” Carl stood on his head on a milk bottle, and did some amaz- ing balancing on a board placed on a cylinder. This part of the act was climaxed with Arlene stand- ing on Carl’s shoulders while he seesawed back on forth on the board. This feat was made more difficult because the cylinder and | board were placed on a platform not much bigger than a card table. Right in the spirit of St. Pat- rick’s Day were the lovely Irish songs and ballads sung by Don Al- bin. The dance patrons joined in enthusiastically on the choruses. Following the show, Louis Eis- ner, general chairman of the dance, supervised the drawing for the tic- | ket prizes. | A packaged tour to Havana, do- nated by Prado Tours, was won by H. Purcell. P.
