the reponse to the Eighth An­ nual Bishop's Charity Ball to ,be held Wednesday night, Jan. 9, at the Lincoln Park Million Dollar Ballroom has been most gratifying. . "The tremendous interest in ,this event is due to two reasons", Mr. Reilly said." First of all, the people in the area of the Fall River Diocese are ever conscious of the need of the 'underprive­ leged and are ever reacfy to spend themselves, for God's . special little ones".

Secondly, the Diocesan pre­ sident said that "the past seven. Charity 'Balls confirm the claim. that this social event is ,the leading aUair of"the year".. From all sections of. the Dio­ cese, the reports indicate that the 1963 Ball will surpass the other seven. . Mrs. Gilbert Noonan, presi­ ,dent of, the Diocesan Council o~ Catholic Women, told the ANCHOR today that "once a couple attends, you are assured of tneir coming every year, be­ cause their future absence would , leave a void in their life." "Age, is no barri~r to ~n' en­ joyable . ~vening," -... the Diocesan president of the NCCW added

"because' all can rest·' assured that Harry Marshard's music will appeal to individuals. of every era." Every year, many say that ·the Ball has reached its climax and could not grow or improve. Yet, as the couples leave the Lincoln Park Million Dollar' Ballroom, they admit the night. was out­ standing. Reports from the presidents of the five districts of the DCCW indicate more people' are' in­ terested. this year than ever be­ fore: ' The Vincentians of the' Dio­ cese are affirmIng the claims of the DCCW.: '
