AWAITING A LEAD
Sometime ago the BEACON threw out a suggestion that it would be a fitting and courteous action on the part of the town if something in the nature of a public farewell could be staged during the forthcoming holidays as a gesture to those patriotic young men who will be leaving the Dominion in the near future to fight in the cause of Empire. In view of the announcement that all men of the military forces now in training will be given Xmas leave, it appears that there will be no other opportunity of bidding our boys Godspeed unless advantage is taken of the holidays. The suggestion is that the function could take, the form of a farewell ball, at which the local members of the force could be given an official send off, and allowed the opportunity of meeting their friends collectively and individually. The promoters need have no fear as to the success or otherwise of such a gathering for a full and representative attendance is guaranteed. The above matter requires consideration at once with a view to making concrete arrangements before the Christmas holidays arrive and disperse most of the responsible organisations in town.
