KIWI WORKERS

SOCIAL ACTIVITY

TRIBUTE FROM VETERAN A discussion on the appointment of committees for the ensuing year at the first meeting of the executive of the Gisborne Returned Services’ Association following the annual meeting produced a warm tribute last night to the work of the Kiwis’ social group, which had recently been amalgamated with the general social committee of the association. The chairman of the social committee for several years, Mr, A. H. Barwick, expressed keen appreciation of the energy and initiative which the younger men had brought to their co-operative activities.

The younger group had made substantial contributions to the over-all work of the committee, Mr. Barwick stated, and in addition had continued to conduct social functions with the double object of providing entertainment for those interested in dancing and of raising funds for the association's purposes. Their work had been particularly valuable in the food-for-Britain campaign. and the functions they had organised under this heading had provided a good proportion of the considerable amount already expended by the association in the dispatch of food parcels overseas. Mr. Barwick referred.to the special ball which the Kiwi group had organised for next Saturday evening, at the Army Flail, for flic food-parcels fund, and warmly congratulated the group on the excellent prospects of success for this function.
