Friday. dan..ces After 20years, Whitby Brancb 112 of te Royal Canadian Legion la no longer holding Fr1- d ag night dances at the Le0gion ha I on Bryon Street South. But an attempt is being made by one of those who atns the dances te hold the event, using the bail but without Logion sup- port. Whitby Legion president Rob Maguire saye it was "etraigbt economics" wbich led te tbe doli- sion te stop tbe weekly dances. It cost a «considerable amount of money» te hold the dances -- payingthe disc jockey, door attendants, bartender -- and that coet was nover recovered in recentyer from those attend- ing Woch paid $4 te attend a dance. «If we could have broke even, we would have kept it going,» said Maguire. He says about 40 te 60 people attende each dance in recent yeare. Oscar Smnith, 'a door attend ant at the Iast Logion-held dance July 29, remembes when the dances first ,started tbat "You used te have te get bore by 8:30 (p.m.) te get in," with as many as 200 people attending. "Now, it doesnt pay. Some of those atte:nding the dances admitted' that thoe $4 entry fée wasn't enougb te cover costs and that thore were mnade- quato sales at the bar. "I told them for the last six months if they didn't spend money on the bar it (dance) was 9oing,» says Jim âutcliffe of RR5 SuD:o rland a Logion member who attencâed tbe dances for seven years. Sutcliffe himself organized a dance, renting tbe Logion hall, on Aug. 12, and 58 people, each paying $8, turned out -- «not tbe greatest" turnout since ho needed 75 ta break even. Moreover, only 109 drink tick- ets were sold.
