United Party Dance GAY EVENING i On Thursday the Surrey Junior Club ! of the United New Zealand Political } Organisation held a social and dance jin the Grey Lynn Bowling Club I pavilion, to welcome Mr. J. S. Fletcher, ! M.P., and Mrs. Fletcher. | In welcoming the guests, Miss Mona * Lewis, chairwoman of the Junior Club, said that, although the club was only in its infancy, they hoped it would grow to a big organisation, so that when they reached their majority they . would be a substantial support to Mr. J. S. Fletcher and the United Party. Mr. Fletcher, after expressing his appreciation of the efforts of the Surrey Women's Branch in inaugurating the Junior Club, explained the political situation to the young people. When speaking of his stand on the unemployment Question, he was interrupted by enthusiastic cheering and applause. In conclusion, lie extended an invitation to the club to meet at his residence when he returned from his vacation. Mrs. A. IT. Cavaye, secretary of the Women’s Branch, presented Mrs. Fletcher with a bouquet of roses. In response to repeated cries of “speech,” Mrs. Fletcher said that a Parliamentarian’s wife did not have any chance of displaying her ability as a speechmaker—one in a family being quite sufficient, but she very much appreciated the juniors’ welcome. The evening was spent in games and dancing and items were contributed by the Misses Stevens. The chaperones were Mesdames O’Malley, Hawkey, Snell and Lewis. At the conclusion of (the evening, Mr. H.
