ST. PATRICK’S
DANCE
The Irishman’s day is over
for another year but we under
stand that an agitation is on foot
to extend the celebration period
to three days or a week or so be
cause Paddy says no good Sin
Feiner can celebrate St. Patrick’s
Day in one day and do it proper
ly.
The dance in the Pioneer’s
Hall on Tuesday evening was a
huge success. Everyone was out
with the intention of enjoying
himself or herself and seem to
have done it. The music was ex
cellent and a large crowd came
to take advantage of it and
Paddy’s punch.
