TH E ITE Brussels, Ontario March 27, 1929 The Editor The Brussels Post, Dear Sir:— In a recent issue of the letter- box a letter WS published signed by Interested with regards to a dame held previous 10 that in : Craubrook, 1 Interested told ue. that it was an in'c'ited dance and• that after a time a few got there the card tables were put back and the music started. Initeressted tells sus that some were refused admission to dance, went on to exiplain what was wrong with the Cranbrook dances and finished up by saying that no- body wanted to be snubbed on a dance Boor and that no lady would do 11, Now Mr. Editor and readers of the Post, in fairness to the Clan - brook girls, please bear with me while I try to explain what happen- i ed at the dance, in. question. It was an invited dance all right enough but not by Inflated invita- tion and as there was no admission charge at the door• there was no doorikeeper. Being so fele there anyone could have walked in invited or not, So therefore if anyone was refused admission to tlance it must have been that they could not find a partnor to dance with. During the course of the evening I noticed a couple of men, asking girls for a donee• The first got a partner for a square dance. and after that could get no partner. The other (who is Interested in my opinion, either that or Interested wrote the letter for him) received no ,partner at all, Interested evidently is too ignor- ant to aslk a fair question of, but of the fair minded readers of the Posit I ask. Could you blame a girl for refusing to dance with a man who is 1st twice her own age, and, that the only thing he knew about round dancing is for every - time he moved his feet to place them on his partner's, and 3rd considering these two handicaps to be as.lced to fiance on a . hall floor with 2 or 8 ether couples the rest of the crowd sitting back to criti- cise, There are not many girls now -a -days between :the ages of 15 and 22 who want to get up even with a partner their own age who tall dance when there is only 2 or 3 couples dancing on the floor. If any girl accepted just because it was not lady -like to turn a partner dawn, she wouldn't feel much like a lady at :the end of the dance. Everybody has to learn, to dance. But when we Pass the halfway mark of out' 3 score years and 10 ons' days of learning to dance are over and we should know enough by then to ask someone our omen age or else dance something we can do. Those who were refused admis- sion •to dance, well where was the wile or girl -friend that they brought with tilremm? Not many wives or sweethearts, refuse to dance with the one who teak them. Anybody going to a dance deserves to go without a dancing partner if he goes' alone to the dance. Here is one thing that is wrong with the eranlbroolt deuces, AU the boys go anti never think of trying to help out the dance by seeing to it that some girls get there. Every dance in Cranbrook there are 3 males to every female. However I Will agree with Inter. ested in that the Oranbrook young people will have to waken, up. They have, only themselves to blame, It a boy from another down came and brought a girl, or Cranbrook boy brought a girl from another town, unless the girl were well known to the Cranbrook ghug and were popuiar with them, all right, but if they were strangers, the only chance they would have would be with the ones who brought theta, Sonie of the Cranbrook girls are as bad as the boys even• at the seine grime, Dances in Cranbrook would be a auceests if evety+botly would help. When the music starts, it everybody Would get a partner and: start to To Open Pasteurization Plant Here w:llain J, Stewart of Clinton Iras • perchased the retail dairy business 00' L. le.

The. Cranbrook boys have to stem ,drat' when tlhey go to outside halls xnr- else go without a deuce so why not . do it in your own, hall. It isn't much encouragement to the Qua's who are playing to play a number • through and then, have no one damp- ing to it, play another with postsib't 1 or 2 couples dancing thew delay another one or two with nobaultg dancing and so an. of the numbers aren't what you want, well then ask , for them, then get up and. daace and help the .tiling along, I understand some would like to'• have another dance but feel that after the letter by interested, thee there wouldn't be much use, ,So now tlta.t the roads are paueable tO cars let's rally round the aid hale and show Interested that there can be good tine^; in •Craubrook as that the •Craubrook girls are as much ladies a* girls are anywhere.
