Jordan Post No. 35 Observes 17th Birthday To Dance, or Not to Dance-* By_________ ,...:..-_...;..:_..:... r the Editor That Is the Question Here . • New businesses seem to be springing up around here at a rapid pace. Among the most recent are: Bosh's cleaning plant on East Center St.; Paul Hopkinson's Drive-In at State and Union Ave., and Sawaya's Inn and Dell V Jensen's Donut Shop on State St. Another new enterprise Will ~en soon in Midvale when A J N~lson and partner will start a modern photo studio in the prese t Joella Shoppe location. What's happened to the large "Midvale" sign that used to stand at Midvale Junction? It has completely disappeared. Ill> As, per usual, we are crowd:d for space on this page, we Will print a few letters that we have r eived during the week, and let e J'fiarks go at that. Honolulu, T. H. , ~ Jan. 28, 1947 got the first Midvale Sentinel esterday. They get here in from f to 7 days. I never did enjo~ the paper so much when I was ':home. Over here I read ev~ ,l,vord in it." '·~ \ MRS JAMES VAUGHAN I (Nee Evelyn Nicholson) Th4s writes Harry Nicholson's daughter, who, by the way, was tp.e mother of a fine baby girl t1orn ih Honolulu on Jan. 14. This i~ Harry's first grandchild-and is he proud! We asked him for a·"-aigar, but he said that it is NOT customary for grandfathers to hand out stogies on such occasions. Whether or not there shall be dancing allowed in the beer taverns of Midvale is the moot question of the day in this city at present. Midvale city ordinances forbid dancing in any place that is not a licensed dance hall, but local tavern owners wish to allow dancing in their places as a stimulus to business, and, in fact, most of them are already equipped with a dance floor, and som~ dancing has been going on. Chief of Police Andy Kekos has been vigorously enforcing the "no dancing" rules in local taverns, and has gone on record as "not favoring the granting of a dance hall license to any tavern owner." (It says so on the recorder's minutes.) Meanwhile, tavern own e r s, claiming that their customers are going out of the city to other places where dancing is permitted, are seeking dance hall permits from the city counciL In order to bring the matter to a head, the councilmen at their Tuesday night meeting passed a ruling in regard to dance halls, as follows: In order for a tavern owner to be eligible for a dance hall permit, he must remove all booths and tables from the place where the dancing is to take place, and must erect a partition between the dance hall and the place where beer is sold. In other words, the bar and the dance hall must be in 2 separate rooms. If these provisions are complied with, a tavern owner may then apply for a dance hall license, which costs $100 per annum. Whether local tavern owners will go to all this trouble and expense to qualify for a dance hall license remains to be seen.
