ONEHUNGA ORPHANS’ CLUB
Three millions deficit and adverse trade balances were temporarily forgotten by the Onehunga Orphans’ Club on Saturday evening, when Bro. H. R. Mackenzie, presiding over a large gathering of members, created the ideal Orphan atmosphere by characteristic flashes of wit and humour. Among the visitors were Bro. George Baildon, Inspectors Mcllveney and Hollis, Norman Wade, and several other brethren of the Auckland Orphans’ Club. Bro. E. Marks, programme steward, provided an excellent entertainment with music, song and humour, and Bro.

Lighton, was heartily applauded for its playing of “Martial Moments” and “The Rose.” Songs were sung by Bros. W. Sutherland, Fryer-Rraisher, R. H. Gibbons, W. Dickson and Len Keven. Bro. Neville Walker contributed a solo, while Bros. J. KennedyBoss, Rex Yates and R. M. Beswick supplied humorous items. Bro. Len Elliott played the accompaniments.
