The Birthday Carnival held annually at Western Springs were a lucrative way of raising money in the early fifties. The Auckland Deaf Society via the Friends of the Deaf were raising funds for a new hall building. They had a stall and entered a float called ‘Brighten Their Silent World’. The School for Deaf Auckland badge can be seen in this video.
