The Russell Bowling Club sponsored the dance held in the hall on Labour Day night. Special efforts were made to make the event one of the biggest and best functions of the year. Mr W. Rummins (dance organiser) acted as M.C. Owing to the overseas vessel Cumberland arriving at Opua at mid-day,-twenty junior members of the crew attended, making Opua and Paihia representation sixty. During the evening, the spot waltz was won by Miss Phyllis Boucher and partner, and the Monte Carlo by Miss Jean Bott and partner. The two cakes were drawn for, the winners being Mrs G. Whitelaw and Mr Lionel Stephenson. A handed-round supper was served to a crowded hall.
