St. Patricks DanceThe annual St. Patricks dance, given by the ladies of the Dolores civic club, was attended by a large crowd who desported themselves until a late hour. Music was by Ernie Anderson’s dance orchestra, and Memorial Hall was tastily beautifully decorated. Many dancers were dressed in masquerade suits and added a great deal of color to the occasion. The event was a financial success and the ladies realized a neat sum which will be used, of course, in their work of community betterment.

Unless more physicians are provided in the Arctic to guard the health of the Eskimos the race will become extinct in little more than a generation, Levine predicts.
