PLIGHT, JOKE 27, 1929 S. SMITH AND SONS RELAX THE Annual Sports of S. Smith and Son (M.A.), Ltd., Cricklewood, were held on Saturday last, at the firm's regular sports ground on the North Circular Road. As usual, the chairman, managing director and several other directors, always with the employees' interests and welfare at heart, were well in evidence, making sure everyone should thoroughly enjoy the day. The works closed down completely, the entire staff changing over from work for this special occasion. The usual Smith's luck regarding the weather forsook them this time, rain falling until 5 or 6 o'clock, but even this was unable to damp the enthusiasm of the crowd. For fun the " Helter Skelter " proved the great attraction, and never wanted for patronage the entire day. A series of loud speakers, in addition to a first-class band, kept the company in happy mood from start to finish. The organisation, as usual, was perfect, every event being run off without a hitch. Officials of S. Smith and Sons (M.A.), Ltd., at Saturday's Sports: (Left to right), Mr. Hen- derson Cleland (Chairman) ; Mr. Gordon Smith (Managing Direc- tor) ; Mr. C. W. Nicholls (Direc- tor and Sales. ^Manager) ; Mr. B. E. N. Havil- land (Works Manager) ; and Mr. J. E. Chorl- ton (Aviation Manager.)
