We would like at this time to straighten out a mix-up in quot ing admission prices. This report er is at fault in quoting the ad mission price last week as $1.00 and we would rectify this to read $1.90 per couple. However, if those attending wish to go singly the following prices will prevail: men, $1.00; ladies, 50c; and ser vicemen in uniform, 50c. Bear in mind, servicemen must be in uni form to avail themselves of the rcduced rate.
