Dressed in traditional white with scarlet sash and wearing green wreaths and lighted candles on their heads members of the Auckland Scandinavian Club enacted the Swedish Christmas custom of offering food for strangers at a party on Saturday night. They further illustrated the national tradition bv carrying trays in token of goodwill and hospitality, and singing songs of welcome. The singing of six national anthems, British, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Swedish, and New Zealand, completed a unique entertainment.
