FRIENDLY SOCIETIES’ HALL
.NECESSITY STRESSED In the course of his address at the Lodge banquet on Tuesday evening last, Mr Palmer stressed the necessity of the combined. Friendly Societies having a hall of their own lor the holding of their meetings, dances and banquets., Tlie majority of the halls in Te Puke, he said, belonged to religious denommations and it was not fair to ask’ for permission to take intoxicating drinks into the halls for the banquets. Mr Palmer said that they all had a good time without being hoodlums and that so far, the present arrangement of hiring a hall, had been satisfactory. A vacant section for the erection of a hall was in view, and he would donate the sum of £2D to this end if he could find 20 others to support him with a similar sum. The offers were not slow in coming forth, and as a further aid Mr Palmer. who is building a new store for a Te Puke business house, offered the premises for a dance if it could be arranged within the next fortnight.
