These culminated in a centrepiece of black and silver irt which the "21st" motif was prominent. Streamers in these predominating tones combined With the "21st" ' motif effectively throughout the hall. The "high light" of the evening was a novelty danee —"the P.W.D. special." The winner of this dance was presented with a knife, to cut the giant birthday cake on which "iced" wheelbarrows sat democratically side by side with modern "iced", tractors.
