BARN
DANCE
TUNERS
BY THE TATTLER
Kurt Springer is quoted as say
ing, “We’ll set off the fireworks
from 7 till 9 New Year’s Eve. But
after 9, Boy o Boy, am I going
to set off some fireworks of my
own at the Barn Dance."
Overheard by ye Tattler: "Them
N. A. C. boys is just the ones as
can make us Nomeites enjoy our
selves. Whenever I sees N. A. C.
doin something I starts figuring
where I kin get a ticket.” Thats
right “oid timer”, you have the
right idea. A happy New Year
to you sir
The N. A. C. have engaged a
toe-tingling, sp:ne wriggling pul
se-provoking, syncopating, quix
—wait a minute folks, what I’m
trying to say is, the orchestra
will be darn good.
Mr. Rude will be a first nighter,
accompanied by his elegantly
groomed mustache, h:s wife and
their charming daughter. »
The social register will turn out
en masse for the Happy event—I
said social register, we threw the
cash register away. The only
assessment is the ridiculously low
gratuity of one dollar.—A buck
to you.
The local banker was consult
ed about the investment in New
Year Eve entertainment securi
ties. QUOTE: The securities are
above par, the entertainment pre
ferred stock, every moment a
go den one, the investment a
happy- one.
Bert Noble is strenuously re
sist ng our best efforts to prevent
him bringing his del. horse to
the Barn Dance. “Ain’t no Barn
Dance complete without a horse,”
he argues.
At midnight, it is alleged, the
New Year will appear at the
Barn Dance ‘au natural’,—almost
anyway. And, not that you’re
interested but that scapegoat ‘37’
will be there too.
