The members of Martindale Country Club anticipate the dance Saturday evening, which is to be the first of a series to be held thruout the summer. The golf Inks and cool verandahs of the clubhouse will prove to be a godsend this season to the tired businessman who is unable to spend the hot weather at the beach or the mountains and will probably be the center of all of the summer social activities. Golf tournaments and a tennis exhibition is planned for Saturday afternoon.
