MA R1IUTARY Bill STREET DAWCESj ARE PROPOSED Plan Suggested for Regular Saturday Night Street Dances Led by MUi tary Bands From Camps Wads worth and Sevier, also Embracing Cmilir Military Band Concerts a Each Following Sunday From hfclv t f fkimnev Rock: McttWi of II Band to be the Gwest the City. (By Dr. L B. Morse.) There has Just foeen formulated one of the most brilliant and interesting plans for entertaining alike the year ly sojourner to Henersonville and the many thousands of soldiers at the nearby camps, that has yet come to the public's sjotice. The -plan is the initiation of regular week-end Sat urday night street dances, the music J being supplied through She courtesy of the different bands of thetwo camps, the members of the bands hpim honored euests of the city of Hendersonville. The idea surely bristles with suggestive interest. Recreation for Soldiers "Encouraged. Every one is now aware that from Saturday noon to Sunday nighta large number of boys in camp are free to get away "for recreation caxid outins-s. It has been the policy of the government to leave nothing un done in an effort to supply for these defenders of the nation's - honor, wholesome pleasures of all sorts. Already thousands of these men have come by train and motor to these beautiful mountains, and the few (for they are few, relatively) who have thus far availed themselves of this outing in the "Land of the Sky," are as nothing to those who will swarm to the mountains during tjie summer season. There are, it must be remembered, some 60,000 of these men in the two camps! . - - The Alluring Street Dance. Hendersonville, last summer dem onstrated the fascination of the J street dance. It was probably Jihe most distinctive bit. of j gntertajning that was ever given the visiting guests in the mountains of North Carolina. Every one recalls the large immber of people who motored considerable distances to these novel innovations. in pleasure-giving. '''' If present plans are carried out, the charm of the street dance of 1917 will be but a feeble reminder of the brilliant military Saturday night street dances of 1918. They would make Hendersonville veritablv the,cie SP: flutccua T1" " social rendezvous for the men at Wadsworth and Sevier. Cananyt one imagine a plan that would be so replete with interest? It -is hardly necessary to say that thebest of "Hendersonville hospitality" would be accorded our week-end guests, our cars, our service, our all will be theirs. Military Concerts in Camp Cities. It is well known that there are lit erally dozens of military bands in these two camps. Without hardly an exception they are made up of train ed musicians, and not a few. of thees are counted among the famous bands of the country.

Some of these bands have already been to the mountains in a body, and it is felt that there should be no seri ous difficulty in devising some plan with the military authorities to thus give these different organizations outings of this character, for which it would be the pleasure of the city of Hendersonville to defray their ex penses while in her midst. ' The Detailed Plan Proposed: More concretely the plan is to set aside the best possible spacious place for the open-air dances ,either in the street, as was done last summer on Fourth avenue west or, to utilize one of a few largevacant spaces facing Main street. Because of the central location-the latter plan is perhaps the most preferable' one; 'and, in this event. , the whole available space se lected should 'be floored and at one end there shoulHbe erected a commo dious and architecturally beautiful bandstands f - Much co"uld and should be done in addition to render the place selected one of great beauty. By the use of a-large number of electric lights, softened by Japanese - lanterns, fes tooned from formal colonial columns of spotless white, the generous use of our native evergreen (easily, planted and grown in- tubs ) possibly margin ing the entire space by flower boxes the-whole feature could be made -one of novel and distinctive beauty! And with this as a setting it requires a poor, imagination in deed, nbt to appreciate the fascina tion that would attend the dance amid such surroundings and to the rythnj of matchless music of a military band. The. Expense not Prohibitive? ' - The plan will "cost some money to carry it out, but is it not worth it? It would surely bring-thousands of soldiers, to Hendersonville for their week-ends, and would too attract larere numbers of others-besides. The ! "military" should. be the key note m determining xne suci&i iue..-i dersonville for the coming summer. - Concerts! at ChinSney Rock. As these , bands will be off until Sunday, night. I have in mind a trip to Chimney Rock, where they could have an opportunity to see perhaps the finest scenic attraction east of the Rocky v Mountains. Hendersonville has always been proud that it was the gateway to Chimney Rock, andkthe possibility., even, of military concerts -every Sunday from the top of Chim ney Rock is one that truly indeed, would add a new thrill to the vacation the Southern AnDalachians. A motive deeper than the above thought W0U1O DC me giving 10 ouiuKia an outing of unique-interest and val ue 0ne long to be remembered. Let us leave nothing undone in a sincere effort to bring some of -these arm d thintrs about. They are. worth Awhile from the standpoint of business, : and doubly wdrth the . wnue in pleasures bestowed. .1 ' ' -" i BGAR uatigem Mere Mextm Dr. Herbert Booth will open his j rine f Booth-Clibbom, also known evangelistic eampaigii here next j throughout the.
