Cut Knife Grinder, 1936 June 10

H.E. Clysdale operator of the pavilion at Atton's Lake, wishes to state that the rumor to the effect that he has applied for a license to operate a beer parlor at the pavilion, is absolutely false, and at no time has he considered the question of the sale of beer on his premises.

There was a dance hall there called 'Harry's Haven' and Harry Clysdale was in the orchestra. It was a fun time for all. I was very shy about being asked to dance with a gentleman who was very stout, but we did have a good time at these dances.
