It has been customary during the
past year or two to stage such a ball
or dance, the funds of which were
devoted to the Warm Springs Found

care of infantile paralysis victims.
Last year a subscription was tak

contributed handsomely to this fund.
This year according to information
receiving seventy cents of each dol

own geographical area. Further de
tails of organization as to the plans
for obtaining such a fund, will be
announced later.
