TRAVEL CLUB CALLING FOR MORE ENTRANTS SUNSET BECOMES PENNSYLVANIA'S FINEST BALL ROOM Decorations of German Design Will Be Revelation to All Dance Patrons. OPENS ON EAS 'ER MONDAY The Easter Monday Dance at Sunset Park auditorium this year, will give the musically inclined from the Cen- tral Pennsylvania section a thrill in- deed. The muise, of course, Mal Hal- let and his band, will be the best, but the auditorium will be the feature at- traction. Last season, Manager Fred Luther, of Carrolltown, who also manages the Auditorium at Johnstown, made exten- sive permanent decorations to his Sun- set property, but few people who pa- tronized the amusement place realized that the decorations and trimmings then made were but the foundation for the finished job. Sunset, as a place of beauty, is now | complete. All through the winter mon- ths a corps of workers have been busy carrying out the plans for Sunset as originally planned, only matters have really been improved upon the original specifications. Last year Sunset presented a glitter of silver beauty, but it was somewl of the glittering E nature. On Easter Mosaday of this year, folks attending the opening dance will be greeted with the most dazzling, cozy, harmonious blend of interior decoration of its kind in America. The decorations are of German de- sign, and were imported to this coun- try from there. Thousands upon thous- ands of so-colled German gleamers, re- splendent with variated colors, hang from overhead, and the movement of the dancers cause these gleamers, which are made of copper, to sway, so that the result is pleasing and fascinating to the eye. One of the finest engineering feats of subdued lighting has been schemed in the general plan of things. Thrteen huge parchment bulbs, in various col- ors, two feet in diameter, augumented by subdued flashlights, make up the major illumination plan. In addition to this scores of one-foot parchment shades, globe-like, also add to the beau- ty of the decoration, and aid in the lighting arrangement. The scheme for the moonlight dance lighting is unique, and is one that will prove pleasing. A description of the newly decorated Sunset auditorium in black and white is difficult to give. A visit to the park on Easter Monday will convince the most skeptical. Incidentally, Mal Hallet, who appears for the 20th annual opening of Sunset comes in person with his original band of nationally famous radio and record artists. This will be their first Carroll- town appearance. The Hallett band was featured for seven consecutive years on| Broadway. They are WOR broadcasting stars, and Columbia Okeh, Perfect and Harmony recording artists. They are coming direct from the Million Dollar Arcadia Ball Room on Broadway, to Sunset—Pennsylvania’s finest ballroom. , SEEK VACATION OF TWO COUNTY ROADS | Court Appoints Special Board of View- res Last Friday to Investigate the Petitions, Attorny A. M. Shoemaker, Adam Shu- man and J. D. Ritter were appointed by the Court as a Board of Viewers to determine the expediency of vacating a road in Cresson and Gallitzin Town- ships extending from the Borough of Gallitzin to the William Penn highway. These appointments were made upon petition of citizens and property own- ers of the two townships who state that that since the construction of the new improved road between Gallitzin and Cresson the road has fallen into dis- use and is burdensome to the taxpay- ers and the township. The above borad also was appointed to ascertain as to the propriety of va- cating an old public road, known as the Germantown road leading from the Borough of Gallitzin, through Gallitzin' township for a distance of approxi-| mately 3,310 feet. The petitioners state | that the road sought to be vacated has| become useless and is inconvenient and | burdensome to the taxpayers of the | township. | | BARNESBORO YOUNG MAN IS INJURED IN SMASH-UP Dr. G.
