Correspondance
Dear Sir - Through the medium of the "Buntingford Gazette," I should like to thank all those who either by contributions, prizes, refreshments or personal service, helped to make the whist drive and dance (in aid of the Buntingford Nursing Fund) the success it was.
Special thanks are due to the Band, who worked so hard during the dance. I am pleased to say that after all expenses I have been able to send in a cheque for £8 5s.
Again thanking all my friends.
Yours truly,
G Lushington

Nursing Fund Whist Drive
A SUCCESSFUL EVENING
Miss Lushington and her many helpers are to be heartily congratulated upon the complete success of their annual whist drive and dance held on Wednesday evening last at Benson Hall, Buntingford.
There was a large gathering, especially for the dancing, Mr E.E. Dennis acted as MC for Whist.
The evening commenced with a whist drive, prizes for which were given by local residents. Twenty-six tables were occupied, and the prizes were presented by Miss Lushington to the following:
Ladies - 1 Mrs D. Capps (umbrella), 2 Mrs Tapper (footwarmer), 3 Miss Cornwell (handkerchiefs).
Gents - 1 Mr Whitby (brush and comb), 2 Mr Gray (case of spoons), 3 Mr Baker (pictures).
Lucky tickets - Mr G. Lindsell (sugar basin) and Mr W. Watson (attache case).
Miss Lushington, in presenting the prizes, thanked the company for their help. The Nursing Association was a most efficient one, and it was pleasing to see such response to the call for help. She would also like to thank those who had assisted to make the annual event so successful (applause).
The Buntingford Town Silver Band was in attendance, and dancing was indulged in until midnight, the excellent dance programme being enjoyed to the full. Mr Leslie Smith acted as M.C. At intervals the Band was relieved by Mr E.E. Dennis (piano) and his dance music was much enjoyed.
At the close, Mr E.E. Dennis proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the band for their services.
