POLICE BALL

POPULAR ANNUAL FUNCTION The decorative background in the Early Settlers' Hall on Wednesday night on the occasion of the annual Police Ball was a combination of dignity and tastefulness. Streamers in the colours cf the Police Departmentblue and gold—had been lavishly used and pride of place was given to the Union Jack and the New Zealand ensign. It was an enjoyable function and was rendered all the more so by the music of the Savonia Band, which contributed a selection of both modern and old-time dance numbers.

O'Hara) and Mrs O'Hara—who was attired in a gown of blue marocain attractively trimmed in gold, and a corsage spray of gold flowers —included the Mayor and Mayoress (Mr and Mrs A. H. Allen).
