The euchre and dance evening in the Koru Hall on Tuesday last was a decided success. Visitors from New Plymouth and surrounding districts helped to swell the attendance, and the members of the committee were kept very busv during the early part of the evening. ' When the final bell sounded it was found that the ladies’ trophy had been captured by Mrs. Barleyman, the second prize going to Miss D. Jury. Mr. H. J. Green -and Mr. L. Wadsworth tied for men’s first prize, and a piay-off gave Mr. Green the prize. Supper was served by the committee and the floor was cleared for dancing. Mr. H. Bentham was master of ceremonies and Mr. Les. Davidson was at the piano, extras being played by Mr. T. Meredith. This being the final function in the first series of euchre evenings, interest in the points prize ran high. When the scores for the season were totalled it was found that Miss Jessie MacGregor had secured the ladies’ award and Mr. Cliff Sharpe had the highest score among the men. Encouraged by the success of its fortnightly social evenings, the hall committee has decided to hold a long night dance in the near future, and prepara-, tions f»rr the event- are being pushed forward. Formation work on the Plymouth Road has been in the hands of the contractors for some days, and the roar of the tractor engaged upon the work has become a familiar sound. Minor outbreaks of chicken-pox have occurred in the district, and although not severe they have adversely affected the attendance at the Koru school. . Mr. G. Meredith, accompani?. by his son, Mr. T. Meredith, recently returned from a holiday trip to Hawkes Bay and Wellington. Miss K. Looney is visiting friends on Albert Road.
