The Arctic Brotherhood who
have given ftheir usual annual
Barn Dance on New Year’s Eva
ror several year past, will repeat
he affair again this year. After
due consideration the date has
been advanced from the 3oth to
the 31st in order that the spirit
of watch ng the qld year out and •
ushering the New Year in, at
midnight can be accomplished.
Owing to the fact that the crowd
usually does not arrive at this
function until late and also be
cause it does not iiiterefere with 1
any other function at that time of
night, he A. B’s. will probably
give some form of entertainment
preceeding the midnight hour after
which the us.ual custom of greet
ing the New' Year will be done and
the dance continue.
Committees are all working hard
to the end that everybody will be
made welcome and given an op
portunity to enjoy the time of
! their life i„ true sourdough style.
