| Article from "The Clutha Leader" describing the Jubilee Concert held at the Oddfellows' Hall
This from a single column of newspaper which is headed "AY 28, 1929". One would think it's May 28 1929, but a companion article on a page labelled August 26 1929 refers to the Concert being "this evening", so it seems likely this was published August 28 1929, but the presence of "AY 28 1929" at the top of the column makes little sense. |
