Mesdames E. Starling and V. Irvine were hostesses at the monthly euchre tournament held at the Dalby Croquet Club rooms. The prizes were won by Mrs. H. M. Sutherland and Mrs. C. McDermott (consolation). Approximately £10 was realised from the afternoon's entertainment. During the afternoon Mrs. T. Jack, on behalf of the Country Women's Association and the Dalby Croquet Club, presented to Mrs. J. Hanley (president of the Women's Auxiliary of the Dalby R.S.S.A.I.L.A.) two cheques amounting to £26 towards the Diggers' Recreation Room building fund. Mrs. Hanley expressed the thanks of her members for the gift.
