Senior Citizens* Party.—At the final social of the Christchurch Senior Citizens' Association for this year in the clubrooms Mrs H. Grade, committee convener, welcomed about 200 members. Mr L. Cove, programme organiser, presented a programme of ballet, music, and vocal items. Each member was given a cake of chocdate after afternoon tea was served. The dance band and helpers were also presented with gifts. The social ended with the singing of “Add tang Syne” and a tribute to Mr and Mrs Grade, who had organised the socials and bus trips for the last eight years. Founders’ Henle.—The Christmas pienie, arranged by the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Founders* Sodety at the South Brighton Community Centre, drew a large attendance of members and friends.
