A JOLLY EVENING

PRESENTATION MADE

Private Ken Barnahy, son of Mr and Mrs Walter Barnaby, of Harrisville, who spent furlough in Tuakau last week, was the guest of honour at a social evening arranged by the girls of Tuakau and held in the Oddfellows’ hall last Thursday. There was a good attendance of Ken’s friends, and a jolly evening was spent. Dance music was supplied by Geo. McGuire’s orchestra and extras were played by Mr F. Clarke, who also discharged the duties of master of ceremonies. A Monte Carlo dance was won by Miss Diane Clayton and Mr Owen Cooney.

A presentation was made to Private Barnaby by Miss Clayton on behalf of his friends, while his fiancee, Miss Beryl Carter, was presented with a lovely spray. A dainty supper was served by the ladies.

i The proceeds of the function were handed to the Soldiers’ Welfare Com- : mittee.

Private Barnaby was also presented with a parcel from the Sodliers’ Welfare Committee at the annual meeting and social evening of the Tuakau Returned Services’ Association. Mr G. Holland also presented him with a boot cleaning outfit.
