NOT TO BE BANNED
JiTTERBUGGING AT SYDNEY Y.W.C.A.
The Young Women's Christian Association of Sydney has decided that jitterbug dancing is never again to be banned in the Y.W.C.A. Hall.
_Mrs. Hope Gibson, who is chairman of the >Y.W.C.A. programme committee, m commenting on the jitterbug competition staged in the Y.W.C.A. hall, said this was the first time jitterbug dancing had been permitted there, and. that the good attendance at the dance indicated that young people liked that type of dancing. . It was a happy function, and the aim of the association is to bring young people together and make them happy,' she said. "More than 8000 young men and women use the Y.W.C.A. each week for entertainment. It is the largest community centre in Sydney. But we felt that a number of of young people were not attracted by our programme, so we introduced, jitterbugging to encourage them." The jitterbug competition was followed by a barn dance.
