If thei was anyone present who did not have a good time ho ctrtainly managed to skillfully conceal tho fact. tf'romptly at eight o'clock Allen'a Jazz Band, specially imported for this occasion, started a razzy, Jazzy pleco that simply compelled everybody in ho hall to get up and dance. A number of people who came to look remained to dance. Charllo Fern, who headed the dance committe for the Legion, about hit tho nail on tho head when ho said: "Oh, boy, look at that bunch over there! Thoy 'camo to scoff but they are remaining to pray'. Why thoro are people here from every corner of the island!" A number of special features helped to make the affair tho success it was. Some way or another tho committeo members had persuaded tho armory directors to let them paint numbers from one to fifty over various parts ot tho floor. At tho end of tho encores Hib Case drew a number from his pocket and had the band leader call It. Whoever happened to bo standing on tho lucky number got a prize. Tho 'prizes were varied and added much to the enjoyment of the evening. Chickens, ducks, young pigs, chewing gum and candy all found their way into various fortunate dancers' pos session. Tbj Legion must havo search ed long and ardently for the pig thoy and wonderfully constructed. But whatever it lacked in form and sym metry It made up in vocal powers. For real Jazz Its protests nearly drowned tho band.. Tho Goops also contributed their prtt to the evening's fun. This group of four, heralded as the expensive, im ported feature of tho evening, proved to bo four young boys dressed In en ormous false heads and .weird cos tumes. Their interprotatlvo dancing would have shamed Ted Shawn in his primo. The music was probably tho best ever furnished to Kauai dancers. Al len's Jazz Band played its way Into tho toes and the hearts of Kauai people Saturday night. It was liberal with its encores and it had no trouble mak ing tho host of dancers in every part of the large hall hear it plainly at all times. . Tho American Legion is to bo com plimented upon its dance. It was a big success. :: PARK RESERVATIONS The Parks Committee of the Chamber of Commerce has just been notified by the Governor that the executive order setting aside the Wailua Park, consisting of 1U5 acres below the road has been is sued and that this tract is now re served for Park purposes.
