All were warmly welcomed by the commit- tee in charge: Margaret and Jack Fischer, Donna and Mel Craig and Alice Elliott. Beautiful floral arrangements adorned the tables. President Jack Fischer chaired the meeting. Following the business and his rendition of a poem entitled "Eighty", he introduced the guests of the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Mau- rice Audet of Palmerston, who, with interesting and humorous comments, presented excellent slides of the lifestyle and customs in Hong Kong and China. Of special interest was the evi- dence of great throngs of seemingly happy, healthy people everywhere, the hills, the sea, magnificent har- bour, as well as beautiful rural scenes bounded by towering moun- tains. The valleys show a slower pace of quiet life, peace and tran- quility and at the large ports and on the rivers in the southern provinces, is found a large floating population living entirely in boats. As a result of the euchre which followed, prizes were awarded for high scores to Margaret Mundell and Milton Boyd; for low, Mar- guerite Fischer `fplaying as a man) and Edith Garniss; for lucky draw, Beryl Mowbray and Bob Fraser.
