members of the P AST youth movements
will gather at the Floreat Forum Civic Centre on Saturday, February 12, at 7 p.m. for a dinner at which the guest of honour will be . His Eminence Joseph Cardinal Cardijn. It is expected that many former members of the Y.C.W. and the N.C.G.M. front the various "eras" will want to take the opportunity of honouring Cardinal Cardijn and renewing friendships formed in Movement days. An invitation is, of course, extended to the wives and husbands of former members. The number that can be accommodated is limited and early reservation is advisable. Already ex-members, from as far away as La Grange in the NorthWest and Bunbury in the South-West, have signified their intention of being present. A pplications for tickets should be forwarded to Mr. J. E. Stewart. c/o Y.C.W Office, 77 St. George's • Terrace, Perth, W.A.
