Hitting The Nite Spots With The Count...

Leading this week's nite life we have those mighty Elk~s
capturing the spotlight. The Elks had over 300 daughters and
brothers patronizing their lodge over the weekend. Everyone
seemed to be having a great time and many celebrities were on
hand, too numerous to mention.

* A swell dance was given at the Royal Gardens last Saturday night and the music was furnished by Ecilie Woods and
his boys.

Word comes to the desk that the Woody Herman dance
was enjoyed by many of our Flintites. the Herman herd being
one of the finest bands in the musicai world.

Harold~s was swamped with patrons over the weep-end.
Many outstanding celebrities throughout the city came out to
enjoy Harold's delicious steak and chicken dinners.:

Taylor's Sport certer was the only pool room in the city
