Gibson Young being responsible for arrangements. The chairman for the; gathering was the Rev. Arthur Muriel, and associated with him were Miss Greig, president of the federation, and the Rev. and Mrs. H. W. Newell. An enjoyable musical programme was provided, vocal items being given by Mrs. Millward, Miss Janet Reynolds, and Mr. L. Grenfell, Miss Nancy Martin acting as accompanist. A community sing led by Mr. Kindle, and accompanied by Mr. Mann, was much enjoyed.
In short speeches, representatives of the army and the air force expressed their great appreciation and thanks for the hospitality that was provided for them each week and for
the homely atmosphere that always prevailed at these gatherings. Three cheers, and musical honours for the hostesses and the friends who had so kindly come to entertain them terminated a pleasant gathering.
