RAETIHI LABOUR PARTY

ANNUAL BALL HELD (Own Correspondent.) Despite unfavourable weather the third annual ball of the Raetihi Labour Party, held at the Druids’ Hall on Friday evening, was an unqualified success. Over three hundred attended, many of whom came from as far afield as Horopito and Pakaka. The guest of honour was Mrs. F. Langstone (wife of the Member of Parliament for the district). The hall was tastefully decorated and particularly picturesque was the supper-room with its festoons, balloons, spring flowers and arum lilies Gus Large’s Chateau Band gave every satisfaction with their music. Great credit is due to the ladies’ committee comprising Mesdames H. Parker h’ D. Eyes, W. Heine, H. Green J b’ Hogg, P. Feek, T. Dobson, W. Harnett, N. Siminsen and T. Ranginui, whose ample preparations so success-’ fully fulfilled all the demands made upon the catering for supper. An exhibition tap dance by little Miss Gladys Smith and national dances by Miss Nola Coker and Miss Pat. Duggan were greatly appreciated. Prizes for novelty events were won as follow:—Monte Carlo, Mr. T. West and Miss West; lucky ticket, Mr. and Mrs. Chambers.
