“Doing the Stroll” - RICHARD BERNET STANLEY - jCHECK STAND— Mr. J. A. Bailey, believe me this Kid from the tall corn state is real ly a hustler on Dance night. This boy really does the business in the Barber Shop check stand. I don’t know the charges per wrap yet, but I will soon find out or Jimmy will. But word comes to me that Mr. Bailey only prefers ladies wraps. INo male customers tolerated. Boy i you sure got an eye for business. 1 ‘ANDY KIRKS BANDS— < Well he has been here and gone. But he left his remembrance—the best dance band that has been here i for a long time. Every piece he l played was a solid sender. Fha Terrell would torch you a little and the large lady would come right out and make you feel gay. The ( crowd was fair but they enjoyed (themselves to the utmost, even the . old reporter tried the jitterbug.— | Boys and girls I am good. Watch me sometime.

You will get a chance to hear all the Cats in ac tion. Don’t forget March 11th at Dreamland Hayy. DON’T LIKE SHORTY, NO! NO! It seems as though Mr. Dutch Smith, the well known playboy and good fellow, don’t trust his best pal Mr. Spencer Grey, another well known good fellow. Spencer was enjoying a dance with Dutch’s best girl friend. Dancing to that beau tiful tune “Star Dust’’ and what a torch number that is. No foolin’ folks that number will never die. So Dutch was dancing with that beautiful young lady Miss Dorothy Bell (formerly). Seems as though Spencer was goin’ along so smooth ly with his dancing partner also singing that beautiful number to his partner. Dutch couldn't stand the strain. Dutch don’t believe Spencer was singing, so he walked right up and said that’s enough Big Boy, yet’s you and I change part ners, which they did without furth er comment. BARTENDER DELUXE— Mac Banks the Round and smil ing Bartender who slings them at you at the H&M rounding out 26 years of his profession and I must say according to his friends and the patrons who he serves are well pleased with M ^Service—lots of Bartenders don’t know what it means to the patrons when they give them that cherry hello some time. There are lots of folks who Come around to drown their sor row or trying to put out that torch a little smile from the Barkeep would be welcomed at times. Banks seems to have just that. Banks use to be a soda dispenser in Den ver, Colo. There is where he learned his trade, mixing malted milks with a dash of white lightn ing in prohibition days, Good old Banks. STOP ARGUMENTS PLEASE! Why don’t the Bars from Cum ing to Lake St., have some menus printed, so the cash customers won’t have no arguments coming when they are presented with their bill. There have been several un necessary near fights on accounts of their bills. The waitresses are only doing their duty, but some heavy drinkers who over spends himself thinks he is being robbed when he thinks he can set up the house or order some fancy drinks he don’t know nothing of the con tents then when he gets his bill— then that’s where the waitresses get insulted and abused. All the proprietor’s fault—no menus, just only a suggestion. But an ounce of prevention, is worth more than a pound of cure (MENUS PLEASE ELECTION TIME IS NEAR— I see the headquarters begin to pop open, sure sign of spring.

Who are willing to take it and give it—real sports. My hat goes off to Martin Thomas who tries so hard with those lads and getting very good results. But Mart runs into so many handicaps sometimes he won ders if he can still carry on. Some of those 460 kids he has to work with are in a pitiful condition. Some haven’t tennis shoes and their parents can’t afford to buy them some haven’t trunks to ware well there is a lots to be done if old Johr. O. Public would only help. The recreation dept, of the city furnishes all of the teachers and instructors. But there is lots of equipment that we have to furnish such as tennis shoes, basketball suits and a few others. So fans if you can and will buy one pair of tennis shoes just any size there will be a boy or a girl who can wear them and will be tickle pink to get ’em. Just give them to Martin Thomas at the Center or leave them at the Robbin Drug for Rich ard Stanley and your kindness will never be forgotten.
