VICEREGAL VISIT
Civic Welcome In City Christchurch will welcome the new Governor-General (Sir Bernard Fergusson) at a civic reception in the Civic Theatre on November 27. The public have been invited to the reception, which will begin at 8.15 p.m., but as there are about 500 invited guests seating will be available for only about 700 of the public. The theatre doors will be opened an hour before the ceremony.
At the reception the Mayor (Mr G. Manning) will welcome the Governor-General and Lady Fergusson, and other speakers will be the Bishop of Christchurch (the Rt. Rev. A. K. Warren) and Brigadier J. T. Burrows. Their Excellencies are due in Christchurch on the afternoon of the reception day, and are expected to tour the city soon after their arrival.
