MYSTERY PARCEL AND GALA DAY
What a day Friday, July 12, is going to be for Invercargill. The city’s leading musicians, artists and wags will be on the streets making merry for patriotic funds. Among those who are going to turn out are brass bands, orchestras, concert parties, including the commercial travellers, returned soldiers, railway workshops, the Matthews’ Hawaiian party, the boys’ orchestra, the great illusion, “Burning a Woman Alive,” and many others. There is to be a monster procession, too. Many thousands of mystery parcels will be sold on the streets at 1/- each and hundreds of these will contain valuable prizes given by Invercargill firms. Recognizing the importance of the occasion the authorities have granted school children a half-holiday.
