Curtain time is 8:30, Mid-Winter Germans Cancelled; Top Name Bands Not Available There will be no Mid-Winter dances this mid-winter, ac cording to the latest communi que delivered from the German club by President Bill Tate. With the vote of member or ganizations standing at seven to six against having any dance set this quarter, Tate said yes terday that the possibility of having a name band here for a concert during the quarter" was being investigated. Restricted because of closed dates for the use of Woollen gymnasium, the club was forc ed to plan the dance set for the weekend of February 13 and 14. "This cut out 90 per cent of our chances for bands," Tate said, "but the steering commit tee started plans in October for Mid-Winters, anyway." "By December 20 the best thing that had come through was Glen Grey and the Casa Loma orchestra, whom we signed." Glen Grey's subsequent ner vous breakdown and the break up of the band again left the club in an uncomfortable po sition. In releasing the decision, Bill Tate made the statement that it was mainly due to the lack of available good bands.
