A record crowd Is expected at the "Dale," with, danc ing to Chuck Selby'a orchestra scheduled to begin at 8:30, Exciting and entertaining will be the floor show, featuring the Woodson Parnily, Napoleon Reed and Mark Andrews, which will be presented at 10:30, lasting for a full hour and a half.

Ia highlight of the evenlnij will bo the distribution of the 1956 Edi- tion of the. souvenir program and recipe book, undej; the direction of Mrs. Frank Yassenoff. chairman. From Its startling and different cover, designed and executed by Mrs. George Goldberg, through its record of Service, to Its wonderful cook book section, the program book is sure to be a treasured addl- tlon to the many others now In the homes of our community, and BBW takes this opportunity to thank all the many friends and ad¬ vertisers who made it possible.

distinctive cover Is a salute to the American Tercentenary, and a trib¬ ute to the American Way of Life which haa made possible 300 years of achievement by tho American, Jewish community. So, too, does the record of 111 years of achieve¬ ment by B'nai B'rith speak for the responsibilities and obligations this great Service organization has as¬ sumed and performed, under tho freedom we have enjoyed In this country. Mrs. Goldberg, whose ef¬ forts in preparing the Chapter Mcrap book last year won first prize in the district-wide contest, has de¬ picted the arrival of the first Jew¬ ish settlers, back in 1654, as though they had been greeted by the Statue nf Liberty, emblem of the freedom America has offered peo¬ ple of all faiths, and BBW is proud to present thia salute and tribute to the Tercentenary Celebration.

PRE-SCHOOL PARENTS PRESENT BIG WONDERLAND PROGRAM TOMORROW
The 13th hour is here; -that's 10 o'^locit this Sunday morning, heralding the second annual Children's Wonderland, a gala event with fun and frolic for the entire family, and yet, each one, from tiny tot to grandma and grandpa, provided with a stake in the future of the Jewish Center Pre-School. A festival it is, created, planned and ex¬ ecuted by the Parents Group of the School. With no organization dues' and aaaessments, it rellea entirely on tax stamps rcifunds, its Freilich Fund, and this one annual affair, to carry on itn active program of self-development In good parenthood, bridging the home and school, and assisting the Scholarship Fund and special projects-all aimed for a stronger and bettor foundation for our children.
It will bo a genuinely warm ] satisfaction to all who attend, for good, inner feeling, and to see u rarity in one organization enlisting practically its entire membership for onv projeet. It is a lesson in group effort, a true tribute to Its officers, committees and the gener. al membership of the organization.

And that does not include the many others en¬ listed in the efforts by these com¬ mittees.
Energies expended by ail of theae parents have already reached un¬ told hours. Houra galore have gone into planning for the fish pond, tbe games and the other amuse. ment activities, to mee^ the inter¬ ests of all ages.
The scene of the Children's Won¬ derland—the auditorium of the Center, will be entirely decorated with the individual creations of the  Pre-Sthool's children.
And so, with grand aocoladea, this ia a tribute to: Mrs. Herbert Cummins and Mra. Elaine Corman, for their generalship; Mrs. Nathan Fechheimer,   with    Mesdames   Ar-
