Description
Jitterbug dancers on the City Hall portico came to invite Mayor Fletcher Bowron to attend the International Jitterbug Championships and show at the Coliseum. Youthful swingers from 22 states and six foreign countries were to dance in the championships, which climaxed a three-day jitterbug convention at the Palomar.
