KAARIMBA SOCIAL TO AIRMAN On Thursday night a large gathering of people assembled at the Kaarimba hall to honor Pilot Fletcher Green, who has been spending leave with his people at "Craig-a-lea," Mundoona. Mr. McPherson spoke on behalf of the Welfare committee and referred to Pilot Fletcher's sterling qualities and wished him the best of luck. Mr. J. Patterson and Mr. R. Twitt also spoke. The presentation was made by Cr. Moss. Pilot Fletcher, who looked very smart in his uni-form suitably responded.
