FAREWELL SOCIAL.
CONSTABLE AND MRS O’CONNELL ENTERTAINED. (“The Age” Special.) There was a very large attendance of friends ‘in St. Mary’s Hall, Carterton, last night when Constable and Mrs M. O’Connell were farewelled prior to their departure to Terrace End. Dancing was interspersed with items by Messrs G. Morris and D. Irwin, while the duties of M.C. were carried out by Mr. G. S. George. After an enjoyable supper, the Mayor, Mr. D. L. Taverner, presented Constable and Mrs. O’Connell with a beaten brass fireside set. He also handed Mrs. O’Connell a crystal powder bowl and Constable O’Connell a silver cigarette case. Mr. Taverner referred to the high esteem in which the guests of honour were held in the town and said all regretted their departure. At the same time he con-’ gratulated Constable O’Connell on his promotion. Constable O’Connell acknowledged the Mayor’s remarks and expressed sincere thanks for the evening and for the presentations. At times, he said, his duty might not have been pleasant to perform, but he could say that both himself and his wife had thoroughly enjoyed their stay of eight years in Carterton. The guests were accorded musical honours.
