E T; DANCE TONIGHT Tonight and tomorrow will see the final program of the MarKade, recreation center for servicemen maintained at St. Mark's Episcopal church here, and the center will close tomor row night, it was announced to day. The center has been in op eration for about a year, first under the direction of Mrs. Lil lian Hinman and for the last sev eral weeks under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Boyd, and is being closed due to the small number of men now stationed here with the army. The dance this evening Is planned for 8 o'clock and it is hoped that an unusually large number of hostesses and serv icemen will be on hand. Mrs. Boyd stated this morning that she had enjoyed her Work at the center and expressed her ap preciation to the hostesses and other volunteers for their splen did cooperation and to the citi zens who donated supplies for the operation of the service cen ter in recent weeks. The Rev. George R. Turney, rector of St. Mark's church, also stated that he and other church officials were very appreciative of the work of the many volun teers who had aided with the center's program. The value of this work for enlisted men is reflected, the rector said.-in the many letters and other expres sions of appreciation from the men which have come from a wide variety of camps and bases all over the world. The rector quoted as typical the remark of an older man, who also saw service in the last war, who, in telling the minister good-bye, remarked of the Mar Kade, "This is the best piece of Christian service for servicemen that I have seen anywhere." It was stated that for the pres ent the rooms occupied by the center would be given over for the use of general parish activ ities.
