Farewell Function at Addington

On the occasion of the retirement from the service, on superannuation, of several members of the Addington Workshops staff, a most successful social and dance was held in the Railway Works Dining Hall, on Tuesday evening, 12th May. The hall was tastefully decorated and excellent music was supplied by the Works Orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. W. Kitchingham. A feature of the evening was the fancy dances given by the Misses Bruce and Chisholm. These were much appreciated by the 150 couples present.

Mr. J. S. Cummings made an excellent M.C. In the course of a happy speech (in the absence of the Works Manager, Mr. Jenkins), he feelingly referred to the long years of devoted service which the retiring members had rendered the Department, and expressed the hope that they would live long to enjoy the benefits of the Superannuation Fund. Mr. Jackson suitably replied on behalf of the members.
