It is no use one or two couples attempting to revolutionize the cus- tom. Everyone else will be sitting at home waiting for the witching hour, and they will be dancing in lonely splendour. I don’t know how it is at your house, but around here the program is something like this when we are going to a dance. The dishes are done and the kids put to hed dn leisurely fa- \Shion. We sit and . read the papers, ™* SE in fsct we pore over them. It seems ‘silly to start on a chore of any sort, and so we stall around until it is time to think about getting dressed around 9 or 9:30 p.m. (After all this waiting around, we usually manage to want to get into the bathroom at the same time which creates a bit of a bottleneck and a few nasty words from Father.) Around ten or ten fifteen we me- ander over to a friend’s house or shave people in ourselves. We chew the fat, we pass another round, we chew the fat some more. Somegne looks at their watch; it is only 10:45. Too early to get to the dance yet. Round we go again, we pick up the conversational ball again. Then it’s 11 p.m. and we decide to go down and see what is cooking. But apparently most everyone else thinks it is too early yet, for there are only a couple of dozen people there. You wonder if it is going to be @ flop, but by the time another hour has gone by the joint is jumping. And so you prance around for a couple of hours, getting more weary by the minute. (You probably won- der why we go, but I do enjoy dane- ing and I like to have a good time occasionally.) And then what dance would be complete without going somewhere for coffee afterwards? So you roll home about four or five in the morn- ing, dreading the thought of how few hours’ sleep you are going to get. Then at six, seven or eight in the morning, depending on how lucky you are, the kids wake up. You open one eye and wonder why it seemed like a good idea to go to the dance last night. You’re crabby and irrit- able with the kids and it really isn’t their fault. It isn’t as though we are being | sophisticated and citifiled by starting so late, City folks are usually amazed atthe crazy hours we keep: I remember the last big dance we attended in New Westminster hefore coming to the Cariboo. It was the Policeman’s Ball, and we invited a group of people in for cocktails be- fore the dance started. One couple didn't arrive on time, I remember, and at 9:30 the rest of us were sit- Mug around biting our fngernails wondering if we were going to miss anythin A visitor to Williams Lake from Australia says that the dances ‘down under’ get going at 8 p.m. and stop at twelve. Sounds sensible to me. Don't know what can he done about it. Perhaps if the organiza~ Iceland has no railway. Horse racing is at least 3,000 years old, tions holding dances would start them at 9:30 and quit at 12:30 or 1, after a few times mayhee the public would catch on and come early. Might be worth a try. 100 MILI Ws Community Club Names Officers The Commuity Club met on Mareh with 30 people presi Don Murs was elected president, Herb, Auld first vice-president, Ross Marks second vice-president, Marion Mur- ray as recording secretary, Ruth Ericson as business secretary, and W Oscienny as treasurer, MARCH 23 the Ground Observer Corps held a meeting in the Little ‘Theatre here.
