HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1947-06-12, Page 1Instruments Purchased Forty Years Ago, Reconditioned Last weeks "40 years ago" column of The. Advance-Times caused some lively and interesting discussion last. Thursday night at the rehearsal of the Wingltam Salvation Army Band. This article referred to the Town Council's approval in 1907 of allowing the S. A. Band use of the band stand to present weekly sacred concerts and collect for the purchase of new instruments. Par- ticularly interesting is this flash-bade from 1907 in view of the Presentation Festival to be held in the Salvation Army Hall, Tuesday, June 17th, This will be the first featured ap- pearance of Wingham S. A. in over 20 years. The Presentation Festival will bring a guest cornet soloist, Bandsman Bramwell Tillsley of the Kitchener Citadel Band, 17-year-old Gold Medallist. The occasion will be re-dedication of several rebuilt instru, ments and presentation of a new cor- net to° the band, as well as commis- sioning of several bandsmen. Among the instruments repaired and replated is a Besson El) bass which was origin- ally purchased by the band second- hand in 1907 from the collections tak- en that summer! Another is an alto horn purchased in 1913 which has been similarly reconditioned and made like new again. Following the Pre- sentation Festival next Tuesday, these two instruments will display the silver- plater's art in the window of the Crom- pton Jewellery. Another of the instruments pur- chased second-hand is a Besson alto horn, also purchased as a result of the 1907-1908 summer concerts, still in use, and played by the band's eldest member, Bandsman Arthur Law who was a young bandsman with the band. in it's 1907 days! The Salvation musicians are looking forward to next Tuesday as a big event and in addition to having procur- ed Bramwell Tillsley as featured solo- ist for their festival, are thenAlives contributing several well-prepared solo items, an instrumental trio, and a fine- ly 'balanced program of marches and selections of brass band music. In using this term the band's instru- ctor, Fred V. Russell, pointed out that in the true sense of the word, 'brass band' means one containing no reeds.. Just the brass choir of instrumental voices and percussion, which is used by British prize bands and universally by Salvation Army bands. "This was not always so," says Fred Russell. "First Salvation Army Bands includ- ed clarinets and other reeds, but these proved impracticable for the large amount of outdoor work entailed in S.A. banding, much of it in freezing tenBipraemraltvuerieis" Tillsley, now gaining wide recognition for his fine cornet work, is a pupil of Canada's top Salvation Army cornet soloist, Bandmaster Wm. K. Gallagher. Bandsman Tillsley first learned to play under tuition of Fred Russell, now of Wingham, and plaxack under Russell's baton for 2 years in the Kitchener Young People's Band. Music runs in the Tillsley family, as Brain's father is Deputy Bandmaster' of the Kitchener Citadel Band, and his grandfather was formerly Bandleader of a 30-piece Young People's Band at Oldham, England. Souvenir programs for Wingham Band's Presentation Festival are on advance sale (Sc) and available from local S.A. bandsmen.

YOUTH CLUB DANCE FAILS An attempt was made to organize a Club for young working people, older than teensters. A fairly large group of working people out of their teens felt that the Director of Recreation had overlooked them in not having a club for "their age group. Upon re- quest the Director of Recreation called a meeting at which a dance was plan- ned. Tickets were to be sold and it was understood that the dance was ex- pressly for young working people. At the dance last Friday the main part of the crowd was made. up of teensters and out-of-town guests. Some work- ing people were there but not enough to make the dance a financial success. Sam Burton seems to be holding the hag for about forty dollars. What about it-young working people? LUCKNOW MINISTER IS NEW MODERATOR Elected At the 73rd General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada at Calgary Rev. Charles' H. MacDonald, mini- ster for the past 22 years of Lucknow and Dungannon in the Presbytery of Huron-Maitland last week was elected Moderator of the 73rd General Assem- bly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada with a clear majority of the first ballot. Mr. MacDonald is 'a Canadian who has served the church throughout a long ministry, during the course of which he has sat on every Board of Assembly except one. Last year when a committee to study the rural needs of the church was formed, he was ap- pointed convener. His leadership has been instrumental in sending young men and young wo- men into the ministry and. into miss- ionary work at home and abroad. Not once during his long pastorate has his congregation missed raising its annual allocation for missionary work. Selection of this rural pastor by the assembly was taken as an expression of gratitude to those who have served the church quietly and faithfully in humble positions.

Long before the hour of service -.every seat was filled and many were -waiting for admittance, The theme this year was 'The Light of the World', taken from the text, John 8:12, "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, 'I am the Light of the World; he that followeth me shall not walk in dark- riess, but have the Light of Life' ". All -the floral decorations emphasized this theme, high on the organ, illuminated by a spot light was a large sun from 'which radiated rays of light, on either side were the moon and stars. Under- neath the sun, large motto, Jesus is the Light, was formed of red letters on a background of white blossoms. The front of the church was banked -with evergreens forming a shore line, and in the centre from a rocky found- ation, a lighthouse rose to a height of twelve feet. The bottom part of the lighthouse was made entirely of white lilacs and inside the white railing at the top was the light which revolved every 80 seconds. Of particular inter- est were the pillars of the church 'which had been decorated to represent .old English lamp posts, the lanterns at the top being filled with flowers, Large baskets of flowers were ar- ranged both inside and outside the 'church, The pupils of the Sunday -School marched in procession carry- ing bouquets of purple lilacs and yel- low tulips which were received by six senior girls and placed among the greenery. This completed a very beau- tiful and artistic floral setting. Sever- al singing birds added to the joy of the -occasion. A junior choir of forty voic- -es, in white gowns, each wearing a -corsage of pansies, led the singing dir- -ected by Mr. Sam Burton with Mrs. 1V. W. Currie at the organ, Mr. Frank Howson, superintendant of the Sunday School welcomed the acongregatios and extended thanks to all who had sent flowers and to those -maw had spent long hours of prepara- tion for this service,...„ The scripture lesion, John 1:1-9, was recited by Billy Laidlaw, after which Mr. Elmer Wilkinson offered 'prayer. Patsy and Wally Burton sang "Do -Yon Wonder Why We Sing", and a recitation, "The Light of the orld" -was given by four boys, Ian Hether- ington, Jimmie Foxton, Gregory Bu- -chanan and Leonard Gray. The choir sang two selections, "Songs of Joy" and "Beauty Everywhere". Following 'the offering, "Children's Prayer" was -sung by Miss John's class of girls. Mr. Wilkinson introduced the speak- er, Rev. Harold Snell of Auburn, who chose as his subject, "Let us light our lives for Jesus". He told the children about the different methods of light- ing which have prevailed in the world nip to the present time, and illustrated his talk with the actual objects. He also explained how the lamplighters -used to light the lamps on the streets. From this he showed how our lives -will be a trail of light, shedding its, -radiance all around. The service clos- ed with the hymn, "Jesus Bids Us 'Shine" and the choir singing "Bless 'us as we go". The offering which was given to the British Flood Relief Fund, .amounted -to $200.00, 'Given Miscellaneous Shower Miss Mary Tervit, bride-elect was guest of honour at a miscellaneous shower and tea at the home of Mrs. 'Win, McKenzie, Friday afternoon.
