RECEPTION FOR SCORES OF VISITORS AFTERNOON

Dancing in Evening Brings to Close Busy Day Featuring
Boat Races

  Lake Placid  was host Friday to all the Scenic Highlands - celebrating the opening of the Lake Placid Country club's clubhouse on the north tip of Lake June.  Boat races livened the afternoon when a reception was held by the Woman's club of the community, and following a supper served by the clubwomen, the visitors danced through the evening.
The celebration of the clubhouse opening followed to close of the sessions of the Associated Boards of Trade of the Scenic Highlands at the Lodge at 3 o'clock.
Boat races were the feature of the out-of-doors program at the magnificent 18-hole golf links is not ready for play, though the greens even at this early date present a wonderful appearance.
The clubhouse, completed at a cost of $12,000. was shown to the  visitors by the clubwomen of Lake Placid, who were hostesses at a reception during  which they served oranges in a "new" way that was a surprising treat.
The temple orange was used.  it was cored, just as you core an apple, except that only one end was opened. The juice from the part removed is put back into the orange and the fruit served "as is" with a spoon, which permits one to eat it like a grapefruit.  The feature is that the process is, unlike the grapefruit, squirtless.
Tea was served by the women immediately following the boat races and then at 7 o'clock an enticing buffet was served.
Following supper the Lake Placid Chamber of Commerce was reorganibed and then the croud turned to lighter activities and danced until the sandman called.
