  1. Beaver Beacon, May 1960, “Cancer Benefit Party.”
    Reports the April 30 party at the Shamrock as successful, with cards, prizes, music, and dancing, and says the event helped realize a $106.00 goal. It does not identify the beneficiary, organizers, attendance, or financial ledger, and “Shamrock” is not silently equated with another venue record.
