annual function LARGE CROWD FILLS NEW A. AND P. SHOW PAVILION STRIKING DECORATIONS Verdant ferns and fairy lighting' made an attractive setting for the successful annual dance held by the Rotorua Fire Brigade at the A. and ! P. pavilion on Wednesday evening. j There was a record number pre- I sent, and dancing was continued un- I til a late hour to the lively strains of Mr. Claude Tattersall's orchestra.
