Without fuss, but with much effort, the "gals" who are the chairmen and committees that work for a successful Angels' Ball, are this year presenting one of the most gay and colorful, entertaining and enjoyable evenings the Vancouver community has yet seen.
A "peek" behind the scenes reveals:
Mrs. (R) Ruth Jackson, chairman of physical arrangements: "The two committees for food and decor have reported a sampling of the multi-course dinner was a special delight. The manager and head chef of the Bay-shore assured us that even if the hall is filled to capacity, each course will receive particular care and will still be hot for each one of 400 people. The wine steward assured us that each bottle of wine will be chilled as required; the manager assured us that we would have a dinner that would easure our return to the Bay-shore, year after year."
On the decor committee: "A rehearsal of decor arrangements, recently held at the Bayshore ballroom, with the color and gaiety of the suns, balloons, etc.,
holds promise of a feeling of Mardi-Gras. There could be no Angels' Ball decor without Mrs. L. Segal, decorations veteran of the four previous balls and now advisor to the present committee".
"Favors will be given to all Angels" says Mrs. Jackson, whilst paying warm homage to efforts of committee heads, Mesdames L. Hock, M. Myerthal, L, PuUan, and L. Segal, and cocktail hour chairman, Mrs. M. Huberman. * ■ * *
Entertainment chairman reports: "With the Ball meaning a night off for fun and entertainment for the very active and community-minded attendees of this event, emphasis should be placed on dancing to good dance music, and a varied evening so that all can have a whale of a time. Entertainment should be heard all over the room and be of a type that is novel enough to be thoroughly enjoyable and remembered as such."
Mrs. H. Miller has, with this thought in mind, engaged the services of two bands, starting with music for dinner-dancing and going continuously through the evening with alternating
Caribbean Islands rhythms. The songs, drums, and interpretive dancing of Afro-Cuban origin promises novel entertainment and

The public is being invited to view the beautifully decorated Jewish Book Month showcase already on display in the main lobby of the Centre.
The Centre is continuing the Charm Group for Tween girls through the '6£i season. To date, the group has covered areas of general grooming and skin care and the course plans to go into areas such as individuality, posture, etc. The program meets on Thursdays, 7:30 p.m., and is a free service to Centre tween members.
An Israel Dance course for
Tweens members will be initiated at the Centre if enough members wish it. In previous years, Nirkoda has maintained such popularity that an Israel Dance program for all ages was deemed necessary. There is already a program for teens and juniors.

Invitations:
"Invitations are printed, and in the mail," say Mesdames J. Pelzman and L. Pearlman. "We are extremely pleased with their look of understated elegance."

Reservations:
Mesdames I. Kates and L. Simkin urgently remind Angels of "the first-submitted, first-reserved basis on which tables are allocated, and although attention has been given to having tables around the bandstand, obviously there has to be a few feet of difference between tables." So, again, the reservations chairmen say, "please mail out the reservation card with enclosed cheque and necessary full information on it, as soon as possible after receipt of your invitation! Mail to: 826 West 47th Ave., Van. 13. Certainly before Nov. 12 deadline! Cards indicate eight to a table, but 10 persons can be accommodated if requested."
