STILL INCREASING
Service Clubs Report Crowded Attendances . .. ■ - ■ «' ■ ■ With Christmas very near, service clubs in Wellington will no doubt" be in the midst of plans for special celebrations to mark the occasion. In the meantime, ordinary activities are proceeding and attendances are .reported as being always increasing. From the smallest to the largest, these clubs, if visited on a round-the-city tour, would almost certainly reveal that accommodation at weekends is taxed to the utmost and helpers, . perhaps hampered by lack of room and sometimes lack of crockery, contrive/somehow to serve the hundreds of servicemen who appreciate the home-made and cooked meals and teas dispensed. In some clubs, the girl ; members bake and bring fresh cakes, scones 'or pikelets to help in catering at tea time. Not only town but country friends .are constantly sending in foodstuffs that are gratefully received.' Fresh cream, meat, preserves, jams, cheeses, cakes and hampers of assorted goods arrive regularly at weekends, when the demand on the cafeterias’ service is: greatest. Further help is given by artists,who -provide entertainment in floor shows and concerts' at the dances and socials. ' ■An innovation: enjoyed by the men was arranged by 'girl;, members of several clubs, when beach picnics were held yesterday, the picnickers returning ■to ' the rooms for tea, and dancing.
