Undoubtedly the most popular ball of the season took place in the King’s Theatre, Carterton, last evening to celebrate the diamond jubilee of the Carterton Football Club. Visitors were present from all parts of the Wairarapa and indeed even , from further afield than Wairarapa. The ball was a wonderful success from all points of view. The hall was very tastefully decorated for the occasion by a willing band of workers, the colours being principally those of the club, maroon. In front of the stage a large streamer in maroon bearing the word “Welcome” was displayed and below this emblem on another streamer were the words 1879-Jubilee-1939. Around the walls were displayed the banners won by the club in the early days of its career; intermingled with other ornamentation which made a most striking effect. The supper-room also had its full share of decoration with streamers and the. .tables, were profusely decorated with Iceland poppies. The music, eight instruments, was supplied by Udy’s Dance Band. The M.C's. were Messrs Geo. Brown, Joe Fitzgerald and Jim Steffert and under their able guidance there was not a dull moment during the long list of 22 dances. The secretary, Mr Geo. Steffert, assisted by a capable executive committee are to be complimented for the excellent arrangements. The supper which was in the hands of a capable ladies’ committee, left nothing to be desired. Extras Aycre played by Miss Mary Herrick and Messrs L. Hopkins, T. Udy and D. Irwin. The Jubilee Ball of the Carterton Football Club will be one that will be remembered by those who were present as a fitting finale to the jubilee festivities. P. & A.

The party is limited to 40 persons, including ladies, and in the event of a greater number of nominations being received a ballot will be conducted to reduce the <>... nber to 40. It is too early yet to any itinerary but it- is expected that the party would leave New Zealand towards the end of March or early in April. 1940. The approximate price covering minimum first-class all steamships, hotels and breakfasts, rail transportation, sleepers, motor-coaches, transport in British Isles, etc., and gratuities, except on board ship, is £352 sterling.
