ANNUAL DANCE
FIRE DEPT. HELD
NEW YEAR’S EVE
COMMITTEES APPOINTED AT THE
MEETING LAST EVENING
TICKETS OUT SOON
LIMIT OFF ON DECORATIONS
Music Will Start Promptly at Nine
O’Clock—Affair Be Bigger and
Better Than Last Year
With the selection of general com
mittees last evening to assume charge
of the 21st annual firemen’s masquer
ade ball which will be held at the Odd
Fellows’ hall New Year’s Eve, the
affair has taken on a complexion of
rosy hue. Plans were discussed at
great length. No details were left out.
The committees are starting work at
once and will report at a special meet
ing called for Sunday afternoon at
3 o’clock.
Fire Chief Martin Lanning, occupy
ing the chair last night, appointed the
following committees: Earl Mount,
decoration; Charles Cooper, music;
E. F. Jessen, publicity and printing;
Gerald Protzman and Tom Roberts,
gathering of prizes; George Guest,
E
Mr. Valade and Jasper Holman, post
ers; J. P. Hannon, electrical effects;
Leon Urbach, floor manager; Alex
Bolam, hall rental; Martin Lanning,
punch; Dr. A. R. Roberts and Chas.
Sheldon, sorting prizes; H. Painter,
card playing and cloak room; A. H.
Meyers, treasurer; Martin Lanning,
general chairman.
The decision to rent the Odd Fel
lows hall came as a climax of much
deliberation. Several things were
taken into consideration principally
that of the time required to remodel
the S. A. C. gym providing arrange
ments were made for its leasing, and
the expense attached following the
dance in restoring the gym to its for
mer state. The main handicap, how
ever, was the floor, which it was be
lieved would be almost impossible to
get into shape unless the gym was
closed for a week. This would have
disrupted the newly formed organiza
tion to such an.lextent that the fire
men quickly abandoned all thought of
securing the building and centered on
the Odd Fellows’ hall, the only other
hall available.
Stipulated in the hall rental is the
privilege of using the upstairs club
rooms. It is planned to have a cloak
room upstairs the night of the dance,
and also card playing for those who
do not care to shake a festive foot.
Harold Painter will preside over the
destinies of this department. A few of
the members thought it would be nice
to serve ice cream, soft drinks, sand
wiches and coffee. The members ap
peared to be not in general accord
with the suggestion. The general
committee will decide the matter at
next Sunday’s meeting.
Prizes of all kinds will be given
away. Among these will be door
prizes, costume prizes, dance prizes,
and prizes for card playing. Others
are under contemplation. Every dent
taken in from the sale of tickets will
be expended it is thought, and Earl
Mount, who has earned for himself the
reputation of being one of the most
skilled interior decorators within the
shadow of the North Pole was given
“carte blanc” with respect to expendi
tures; in other words the limit was

The committee on awarding prizes
will be left to a group of local citi
zens, not members of the department.
This committee will be selected at a
late date this month. All prizes, when
procured, w,ill be displayed in one of
the local display windows of a mer
cantile establishment. In order to
avoid any possibility of confusion in
the awarding of prizes, anyone com
peting for a prize must be on the floor
at a certain hour which will be agreed
upon later and published in the Gate
way. The music will start promptly
at 9 o’clock. There will be no ser
pentine or confetti at this dance, but
it is probable that balloon favors will
be permitted.
The selection of securing the Odd
Fellows hall was regularly moved
and seconded and so entered upon the
minutes of the meeting. Motion was
duly made and carried that no com
plimentary tickets would be given out
this year to anyone, including the fire
men. Each fireman, however, will
be given one admission ticket for him
self. This ticket is not transferable,
not even to a member of his own
family, only for the personal use of
the volunteer member.
Upon motion duly made and second
ed the secretary was instructed to
mail a check for $25 to the Gateway
Publishing Company in payment of
special advertisement in the Prosper
ity Edition. The concluding motion
of the evening was that which ad
mitted Mr. Valade as a member of
the department, taking the place va
cated by Mel Horner, who left last
Monday to spend, the winter in An
chorage.
Dance tickets are printed immedi
ately and will ba placed on sale at all
the business houses. An admission
charge of $1.00 will be made for each
person. Every member of the depart
ment including honorary members,
will wear a ribbon in their lapel.
The poster squad, armed with paint
pots and brushes, start tonight making
full sheet posters which will be plas
tered about the town and in the win
dows of business houses.
