Dance Row Turns Violent Near VFW Hall in Thomasville
A Saturday night dance near the VFW post on Lexington Avenue erupted in a brawl after 9:30 p.m. Five men were detained near the city limits, one man, Thurman F McCormick, admitted owning a whisky bottle and was arrested for violating prohibition laws on a $50 bond. The incident drew deputies from Davidson County after officers sought help from the sheriff. Police say the dance’s low admission price invites trouble and the event lies outside city jurisdiction.

Man Takes Rap Goes Straight A Reforming Policeman Turned Teacher Candidate
Eight years after 18 months in the Washington State Reformatory for grand larceny, Dean Bay has become a college graduate and father of five, now a lay Baptist minister. He seeks a Washington teaching certificate after three rejections by the Oregon State Board of Education, teaching seventh grade at a private school north of Seattle while awaiting state approval. State Superintendent Louis Bruno will decide if the private life translates to a public classroom, a judgment officials say depends on individual and school interests. Bay, 32, was convicted in 1953 for thefts while serving as a night policeman in Goldendale.
