LOWER HUTT TO ENTERTAIN
The Lower Hutt City Council last evening enthusiastically endorsed the proposal of the Mayor, Mr. J. W. Andrews, that all the Lower Hutt returned soldiers should be suitably entertained during the present week. A committee composed of the Mayor and Councillors H. S. Dudding and W. C. Gregory was set up to arrange details. The Mayor said it was most unfortunate that owing to war conditions catering and hall facilities were quite I inadequate. Including those men who had previously returned, there were some 300 men. and to accommodate j these with their families would leave little room for the public. It was provisionally arranged that, providing the halls were available, a civic reception should be accorded to j men during an afternoon, and that the 'men with their next-of-kin should be entertained the same evening in the De Luxe Theatre. The time of the civic reception is to be arranged so as'not to clash with functions, to be held in the adjoining districts.
