Swank Affair

Organised by the Gisborne Jaycee, and sponsored by New Zealand Breweries, the Mayor's charity dinner resulted in enough funds being raised to present the St John Ambulance Association with a portable heart-lung resuscitator. The presentation took place at the dinner, which was held at the Sandown Hotel.

Mrs P. Sceats, vice-president of the St John Ambulance, accepts the resuscitator from Jaycee president Les McGreevy and N.Z. Breweries chairman of directors, Sir Clifford Plimmer.
