There was a large attendance of dancers, who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The Town Hall was beautifully decorated. Excellent music was supplied by an orchestra. A Monte Carlo dance was won by Corporal and Mrs M. Maddison. The supper was presided over by service men. Colonel Donaldson welcomed those present to the dance, and the Mayor (Mr J. W. Card) replied on behalf of the citizens of Featherston. Women’s Institute Meeting. The monthly meeting of the Women’s Institute was held in the Kahutara Hall. Mrs Hood presided over a good attendance of members. One new member was welcomed. It was reported that 18 cakes had been packed and dispatched to the local service men overseas.
