Pag« 2 PORTLAND INQUIRER PAAB Promotions It is noted with pleasure that the dances have started again at the Recreation Center of the Hud son House. The Darlings of Rhythm will play at what promises to be a gala affair on Wednesday, Oct. 25. We hope the affair will eventually be followed by others with bands of note providing the hep-cats with plenty of groovey music. An article in the October 21st issue of the Inquirer under Clark County news stated that the dances held at the Recreation Center in Bagley Downs on Saturday nights are being sponsored by residents of Bagley Downs was an error, and that at the present time all Satur day night dances are under the sponsorship and supervision of the Recreational Director Leo Randall. Plans have been discussed to the effect that some responsible ten ants of Bagley Downs take over the dances which are held weekly, but no interested parties have as yet been contacted. The Recreation Association is especially interested in furthering friendly relationships among per sons of various races and nationali ties, Gustafson said today. Last spring the “ United Nations on Par ade,” a colorful stage show pro duced by Percy Woods, was an ear ly part of the association’s world friendship activities. The associa tion is also sponsoring the atten dance at Ogden Meadows Commun ity center dances of Italian inter nees stationed at Vancouver bar racks. chines will be available.
