CHRISTCHURCH HARMONIC SOCIETY | LADIES* AUXILIARY FORMED To consider the advisability of forming a ladies' auxiliary to the Christ- ! church Harmonic Society, a meeting was held in the Young Men's Christian Association building on Tuesday afternoon, when Mr W. H. Down, chairman of the committee of the society, presided over a good attendance of women. Mr Victor C. Peters, conductor ef the society, explained the reasons for forming the proposed ladies' auxiliary. He pointed out that the society aimed at introducing new works at each of its concerts, and that that could be done only at very considerable expense. He said that the works of many modern English composers were practically unknown in New Zealand, and the society intended, flhis year, to perform works by Constant Lambert, Vaughan Williams. Hoist, Bantock, Parry, and others. In addition the society proposed to encourage local composers, when possible, and would this year be producing a new unpublished work by the Christchurch musician, Mr Claude Williams. Mr Peters emphasised the fact that the society existed not merely to provide its singing members with opportunities to appear in choral works, but also to raise j musical standards and to encourage i good music in the city, and therefore it was reasonable to ask the sup- I port of the community at large. ! After some discussion, it was decided to form a ladies' auxiliary to j forward the work of the society. Membership will be open to all women in sympathy with the society's objects. Officers were elected as follows: President, Mrs W. J. Hunter; vicepresidents. Mrs W. Machin, Mrs E. Douglas Pullon. and Mrs C. L. Peters: honorary secretary, Miss Doris Webb; honorary treasurer, Mrs E. W. Archbold; committee, Mrs Harold Biggs, Mrs Niven Forrest, Mrs R. E. Voller. Mrs P. A. le Brun, and Mrs K. G. Archer.

CARNIVAL BALL UPPER RICCARTON FIRE | BOARD I ! About two months ago the ratepay- ' ers of Upper Riccarton and Sockburn ' elected a fire board to establish some adequate form of fire protection in their districts. The board was forced to rely entirely upon the generosity of the public in : t; endeavour to raise sufficient money for this purpose. Manv donations were received almost immediately, and the board also decided to hold socials and dances to enable the younger folk in the district to support the project. The first of these, a carnival ball, was held on Tuesday evening in the Riccarton racecourse tearooms. Mr F. Smith's orchestra supplied popular dance music, and Mr F. T. Witty, wearing a fireman's uniform, acted as master of ceremonies. Novelties were distributed, and caused much amusement. Members of the social committee of the board, who were responsible for the arrangements, were Mesdames J. C. Pascoe, C. C. Harrow. H. Purvis, L. Storcr, J. Vogel, and J. S. Woods, Messrs J. Colligan <chairman), F. J. Collins (honorary secretary), J. C. j Pascoe (honorary treasurer), F. T., Witty, L. E. Storer, C. C. Harrow, H. Purvis, F. Smith, and J. F. Vogel. The ballroom and supper tables were gaily decorated with red and white streamers. Tie's- jircirii' iie-iu.f.,l M, >..l.ni!.', .1. I'-u =.l ■,.,-, K. T. Wiltv. C. ('. Harrow. .1. r. Vo-el. Ij. K.

ANDREW'S COLLEGE OLD ROYS' DANCE AT DINSANDEL Decorations in shades of light and royal blue, the St. Andrew's Old Boys colours, relieved with white, brightened the Dunsandel Town Hall on Tuesday night, for the dance arranged by the old boys of the college from Irwcll, Dunsandel. and Rakaia, in aid of the college endowment fund. Streamers in these shades were arranged above the dancing floor, the lights were provided with shades of matchin" colours, and bunches of fern were i Upended over the centre of the room. The attendance must have been i very gratifying to the promoters, an especially pleasing feature being the large number of visitors from other districts. Socially, as well as financially, the dance was a great success, and the committee deserves a generous measure of praise for the excellent arrangements made to ensure a very i happv evening for the large number of I guests present. Members of the committee were Messrs F. Lochhead, W. E Walker Hugh Johnston, David Scott. R. Wright, B. Coe, J. Brooks, A. Ronnie, and W. D. Walker. Amongst the guests were Mr A. K. Anderson, principal of the college, and Mrs Anderson, whose presence was greatly appreciated by the old boys, all of whom were glad of the opportunity afforded of renewing friendships formed in their college days. The honorary secretary, Mr vv. D. Walker, was also secretary of the very successful function held at Dunsandel a vear ago. Mr Walker shared the duties of master of ceremonies with Mr D. Scott. The Evans-Campbell Band supplied the music, and at supper time extras were played by Miss D. Popple and Mr M. Erridge ißurnham). A statue dance was won by Miss B. Carnochan and Mr W. Stephens, and a Monte Carlo by Miss B. Caldwell and Mr G. Thompson. Miss Carnochan gave an exhibition of Highland dancing, the piper being Mr Wm. Fowler (Christchurch). A number of mothers and sisters ot old boys assisted at the supper hour. Amongst those present were: Mesdames A. K. Anderson Jan \<l s Walker W. Lochhead, J. Henderson, M. G Scott, W. O. Rennie, J.

STREET APPEALS j —-♦ ! THE NEW ALLOCATIONS j TWO SOCIETIES DISAITOINTED, Disappointment with the propos i of the Christchurch City Counci! _to combine the annual street collection of the Creche and Kindergarten Association with that for the society for the Protection of Women and Children was expressed yesterday by members of both bodies. It was stated that if the council adheres to the new allocation there will be great difficulty in keeping open the free kindergartens. The Government subsidy having been stopped the kindergartens rely almost completed on the annual street appeal for revenue. It was stated that the City Council had been generous to both bodies in the past, and although they did not wish to antagonise the council it was probable that a reconsideration of the proposal would be asked for. Daffodil Day had been held for about 20 years and the free kindergartens could not be kept going without it. With perhaps one exception all the kindergartens were in poor districts. At thu very least their work would be greatly curtailed if.the appeal had to be shared. Reconsideration Hoped For Mrs A. Peppier, secretary of the Kindergarten Association, was unable to comment yesterday, but another member stressed the need for revenue and expressed the hope that the sharing of the street appeal would be reconsidered. Miss E. J. M. Cardale, secretary of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children, said that her society, too. depended very largely on the street appeal for its finances. The Government grant of £IOO had been withdrawn in the four centres, and all-round disappointment was felt that this year it was not proposed to allow the society a separate day. The society did a great deal of valuable work and in the past it had always had a whole day to itself fop & collection.
