In Dunedin this week

The proposal to inaugurate “community singing” in Dunedin is now well under way. The Mayor (Mr J. S. Douglas) received a telegram yesterday from Mr Albert Russell, who started the movement in Wellington and Christchurch, stating that he would arrive in Dunedin on Thursday, and would be prepared to take charge of the first “sing” in this city.

A provisional committee, consisting of Messrs T. Ritchie, R. Bennell, V. Drew, H.P. Desmoulins, W.R. Sinclair, W. Tyrie, and P. Braithwaite has been set up to make the preliminary arrangements for the first

“community singing” in the Octagon Hall from 12:30 to 1:30pm on Friday.

Later a permanent committee will be set up to arrange for officials to take charge of the gathering from week to week. — ODT, 17.5.1922
