PORT PERRY, ONT,, THURS,, FEBRUARY 7th, 1968 $2.60 Per Year, Single Copy 17¢ The first Dance organized by tho 50-50 Club at the Legion Hall was an outstanding success on Saturday, Feb- ruary 2nd. The Hall was filled to capacity at an early hour and it was found ne- cessary to refuse admittance to the late arrivals, due to lack of space. We hope those who could not get in will try again at next month's Dance. The music supplied by Chuck Coch- rane and his Band was spiced with a variety of Twists, Polkas, Tangos and Fox Trots.
