Stuart Town Dance Brings Social Yet Struggles With Funds
At the School of Arts fundraiser in Stuart Town a Friday night dance drew a good crowd but lacked expected profit, while a juvenile dance for children also drew praise though cleared only expenses. Volunteers led by Mrs Brown and Mrs Foxall catered well, with Bert Dutfield selling tickets and Mr Jones handling admissions. Miss Devenish provided music for the junior event. A cable from New Zealand sender Mrs Hilda Dein offered year 1942 wishes, and local updates note marriages and visits as residents endure wartime times.
