Here's a new kind of hobby
Murray Prior is at the console of the Wicks organ (top right) which
he dismantled and moved from the Playhouse Theatre, Portage la
Prairie, to the basement of his home. At left he checks the tone
on an electronic organ he built himself while bottom right he joins
with his father H. G. Prior, formerly from Exeter, in playing an organ
duet. . . . Portage laPrairie Graphic photos

labelled each pipe, valve and
part. It was a problem to get the
console down the basement stairs
and when it came to setting the
organ up, the ceiling of the base-
ment was much lower than in the
cavernous theatre.
Painstakingly Murray laid the
pipes on their sides and the
console was placed beside the
console of the first organ he had
built. The sound chamber is a
maze of pipes and percussion
instruments. Here the sounds
of "76 trombones" are created
with the volume and clarity of a
large theatre organ. With the
flick of a switch he can swing
the instrument over to give cath-
edral effect for hymns and an-
thems.
Murray Prior has an interested
pal in his father and they occa-
sionally play duets on the two
instruments to the delight of their
friends.
Many in Exeter and community
remember when one or more of
the Prior family were members
of James Street Methodist (now
United Church) choir.
C. S. MacNaughton, Ontario
Minister of Highways learned of
the event from a friend in Regina
and gathered the details and for-
warded them to the T-A with the
thought there would still be many
in Exeter and area who would re-
member Mr. Martin and his fam-
ily.
Walter Scott, retired because of
ill health.
After two smashing victories
at the polls, in 1917 and 1921,
Mr. Martin left the political field
and returned to his first love,
law. He was successful in this,
as indeed he was in everything
he attempted, and in 1922 was
appointed to the Saskatchewan
Court of Appeal.
He was appointed chief justice
for Saskatchewan in 1941 and
held the position until he retired
in 1961 at the age of 84.
An unusual hobby is that of
Murray Prior of Portage la
Prairie who spends his spare
time perfecting sounds.
Murray's father is Herman
G. Prior, a native of Exeter and
retired businessman of Portage
la Prairie. Miss Olive Prior of
the Queensway Nursing home,
Hensall, is an aunt of Murray's.
Since the age of eight years
Murray has been interested in
electronics. During the war he
was a Navy radio operator and is
now a technician with Air Canada.
From an electronics kit he built
his first organ in the basement
of his home.
Since then he became interest-
ed in a Wicks organ that had at
one time been used in the Play-
house Theatre to provide back-
ground music for the various
stage performances. After it out-
lived its usefulness it stood for-
gotten until Murray became in-
terested and it is now housed in
the basement of the Prior home.
It was no mean task to move
this mighty instrument but Mur-
ray carefully took it apart and SHOP

A former resident of Exeter
who rose to fame in Saskatche-
wan has been honored by the
Wascana Masonic Lodge. W. M,
Martin whose father was a form-
er minister of Caven Presby-
terian Church was presented with
his 50 year jewel and 65 year
clasp at special services recent-
ly. He has been a Mason for 66
years.
Known as the Grand Old Man
of Saskatchewan, The Honorable
William Melville Martin was
Saskatchewan's second premier
and fourth chief justice.
In reviewing his early years
Mr. Martin recalled coming to
Exeter when he was six or seven
years old. As he was born in 1876
this puts the date at about 1882.
Mr. Martin received his ele-
mentary education here but be-
cause there was no secondary
school at the time he was forced
to go to Clinton to complete his
education. In speaking of Ex-
eter Mr. Martin said, "the vil-
lage had a well built public school
with six or seven qualified teach-
ers".
He went to Regina in 1903,
and worked for the James Bal-
four law firm during Regina's
hectic early days. He entered
the political field in 1908 and
was asked to become premier
of Saskatchewan in 1916, when
Saskatchewan's first premie r,
Mr. & Mrs. Otto Walker visited
Sunday with their daughter and
son-in-law, Mr. & Mrs. Hugh
Currie and family at Dorchester.
Sunday visitors with Mr. &
Mrs. Alex Gardiner were Mr. &
Mrs. Wayne Zurrell of Milverton,
Mr. & Mrs. Earl Eggert, Mr. &
Mrs. Ed. Knechtel of Rostock.
Mr. & Mrs. Roy McCulloch
have returned home after visiting
for two weeks with their daughter
and son-in-law, Mr. & Mrs. Ro-
bert Waddell of Guelph.
Word has been received by
relatives here of the death of
Mrs. William Etty of Regina.
Mrs. Etty was the former Mar-
garet (Tot) Lamond, daughter of
the late Mr. & Mrs. Malcolm
Lamond and spent her early life
in this community.
Mr. & Mrs. K. McKellar were
guests at the home of their daugh-
ter and son-in-law Mr. & Mrs.
W. N. Binning and family Mit-
chell Sunday evening celebrating
their forty-seventh anniversary.
Several members of the mis-
sionary organizations of Crom-
arty church attended the service
of Stratford Presbyterial WMS
which was held in Knox church,
Mitchell, Tuesday. Rev. Dr. J. A.
Munro, Toronto, moderator of
General Assembly of the Pres-
byterian church in Canada was the
guest speaker.
