SUCCESSFUL EVENING

COMBINED STAFFS' DANCE

The St Francis' Hall was filled with a spirit of light-hearted gaiety when the combined staffs of the Colonial Motor Co., Ltd., Ford Sales .and Service, and Hope Gibbons Limited -held their annual dance.

A splendid orchestra-rendered sparkling music. The tables were -brightly .decorated with baskets of Iceland poppies and jonquils, and a delicious supper was served.

Avery extended, on behalf of the staffs, a hearty welcome home to Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Gibbons and Mr. R. B. Gibbons. They were greeted with acclamation and the singing of "For They are Jolly Good Fellows." Mr. R. B. Gibbons suitably responded.
