OUR FAULT, WASILLA
WASILLA—It seems we got
the wrong slant on that box
social-talent show-square danc
ing evening planned by the Wa
silla Grange, and to be held in
Community Hall at seven
o'clock tomorrow night. It's not
a "lust for fun among us Grang
ers" event at all. It's planned
for you and me and our brother,
if we want to come. It's essen
tially a money-making project
for the Grangers, and they'll
take ihe cash of anyone who
wants to spend it. Proceeds
will go into the Grange's build
ing fund.
