Mr, titter;
Dear Sir; —
In answer to the letter which ap-
peered in the mailbox lash week I
wish to say that the purpose of my
letter which appeared two weeks
previous to that date was to point
out what was wrong with dances.
My intention, was •bb help them but
It is quite apparebtt •that they can-
not see It that. way.
An Observer says that if anyone
was refused admission to dance it
mush have been that he could not
find a partner to dance with. Being
refused admtissdon to a dance means
that you weren't allowed inside the
door. While being refused ,Per
mission to dance means that a paant-
ner was asked but the offer was
refused.
An Observer asks the readers of
the Post, could you blame a girl for
refusing t1 dance with a man who
is twice her age? You naturally
understand that the girl is there to
dance. 1f the man couldn't do the
dance or wa.e under the influence of
drink I should certainly exouse her.
2nd that the only thing he knew
about round dancing was to step on.
his partners toes.
He goes' on to say that I shouldn't
expect a girl to teach me to danee
in a hall with a bunch like that
watching. I wonder if he wrote
this part of the letter? It he sew
as much as he .says ho did, he cer-
tainly didn't see me ask any girl to
do a round dance or teach ere
either, That clears up the question
of stepping on my partners' 'toes
An Observer asks• us where were
our girl -friends? He says the boys
go and never think or trying to help
by seeing ,that the girls get there.
However in the next paragraph tae
answers ,his own .question -by saying
if we did bring girls who didn't be-
long to their gang welt :it would be
just too bad for the girls as nobody
except the one nvho brought them
there would dare- with them. Any
one who reads thio, letter may quite
readily understand why no girls
taken.
A year ago last fall two young
girls were working on ,farms near
Cranbrook, Both girls were musical
and bath of these girls good dane-
ers. One of these girls has pang
over the radio, 'They went to the
fist dance at .4ranbrook but b'e-
caus'e they were strangers no one
danced much with them. Both giri9
said they had: a rotten time, just one
dance ell night. It you really want
to holth dances why don'•t you ap-
point four young people, tevo boys
and two girls who attend the dances
regulkrly, whose duty it is to see
that people outside your own gang
are made' welcome and get partners
to dance with, There are a few
Young people in the, community who
would like to learn. to dance and
who have no other place to learn
except in the drag, I always under-
stood Chet was what the hall was
intended for.
I notice that An Observer says
that I am ignorant and such a thing
is quite poselb)e but you can be
ignorant and wilting to learn.
There is a story told which fits
the opposite type, about the ladies
and knights watching the wild
beasts. On lady In order to show
haw brand her lover was reproved
her glove throwing it far out among
the rearing lions. Without hesita-
tion he leaped the wall and rescued
the glove throwing it right in the
ladies face, list love said he, but
vanity setts love a task like that.

The Lord Is Risen Indeed
Easter flowers are blooming bright,
Faster skies pour radiant light;
Christ our Lord is risen in might,
Glory in the highest,
A'nges enrolled: this 'siweet lay,
When in manger rude He lay,
Now once more cast grief sway,
Glory in the highest.
He, then born to grief and pain,
Now to glory been, again,
Calleth forth our gladdest stale,
Glory in the highest.
As He riseth, rise we too,
Tune - we heart and voice anew,
Offering homage glad and true,
Glory in the highest.
