Ball Expected to Yield More Money Than Last Year
Approximately 675 persons attended the Presidents Birthday Ball at the Elk’s Club. Raleigh County Committee officers said higher expenses and taxes might cut profits from last year, but total receipts were expected to exceed 1941. Patron tickets at $5 were projected to raise about $300 or more, with returns already reaching $290. Prizes were offered for top ticket sellers, and a complete accounting would follow after all reports arrive. New patrons announced included Mr. and Mrs. C M Goodwin of Sophia among others.
