Armistice Day
Frolic to be Staged
In Louisburg
The American Legion Auxiliary
is planning another Armistice Day
Frolic to be staked in Louisburg,
N. C., on November 11, 1932. All
ex-service men add the public at
large, in this vicinity will celebrate
the ending of the World War, and
the political campaign, both of
which were waged to make the
world safe for Democracy.
This celebration will be in the
form of a big square and round
dance, which will start at 9 P. M.
at the Southside Warehouse, Louis
burg, N. C. The Carolina Rebels,
the finest Square Dance qrchestra
this side of Memphis, will toot the
tjinos for the merrymakers, and
Perry Wheeler will call figures for
the Square Dance. A reasonable
admission price will be charged and
the proceeds will be used by the
American Legion Auxiliary to aid
those World War veterans who are
in the hospital at Oteen. All ex
service men will be admitted free
to the dance.
Those who attended the Auxiliary
Frolic last year *?111 remember
what a whale of a good time they
had, and no doubt will be on deck
for the 1932 Frolic. Hundreds of
others who are sorry that they
missed the celebration last year will
attend this year. Everybody is cor
dially invited to come out Armis
tice Night and try to dance the "R"
