Southern Cross Scouts Benefit
The finances of the newly-formed Southern Cross Scout group were given a boost by the proceeds of a concert sponsored by the Nelson Goodwill Club. A good crowd paid out $28 5s 6d for the scouts, and in return were treated to a good night's entertainment by well-known Nelson entertainers.
Mr Fred Jones of Pixietown fame amused the children (and others) with some of his gadgets.
