COOTIES DANCE EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT

Military Order of Cooties, Logan Pup Tent No. 80, will hold the first in a series of winter session dances Saturday night at the VFW-DVA Hall.

The dances, which will be held each Saturday from 9 p.m. to midnight were announced by Earl Beal, Commander of VFW, and Clarence Taylor, Cootie Commander.

Music will be furnished by the Shorr orchestra. The dances are for adults only, except in cases where children are accompanied by parents, the officials announced.

Note: The strange name made me curious, I found this is a Military Order of Cooties is a Veteran's organization, which primary function is to assist patients in Veterans Hospitals. I first found the mention of "The Cooties in 1939"
