Dance committee chair Elaine Oke worked on the posters. Looking on were Florence Richardson, Vic Holm­quist, Capt. John Olson and Sgt. Cliff Gowler.

A drive of another sort, but also of significance in the county, was the Civic Music-Community Concerts annual membership campaign. Association president Ben Hansen said last year’s adult membership fee of $17.50 would be continued for next season’s four-concert series. Campaign headquarters were at Pioneer First Federal Savings at Everett and Colby avenues.
