HelenMaeIntyre As the sun starts to set sooner, as 'the leaves start to fall, and as the nights become cooler,.music, once again echoes throughout Bob Street on Tuesday nights. This music is made possible by 152 hands and seventy-six lungs of the Lucknow School Concert Band members. Nine of these powerful lungs: were elected as officers for the. year 1984-85. They are president - Lynn Murray; vice-president - Doug Clark; secretary -treasurer - Helen MacIntyre; dues, collector - Rosales Cameron; attendance taker - Bruce Elliott and property personal - Chris: Irwin, Mike Murray, Steve Murray and Dave Percival. On Friday night at the Fall Fair, the au- dience. was taken- back a few decades as. "Mr. C. with the little goatee .and the band from the 50's" performed. Wearing 1950 style clothing; complete with roller skates, greased hair, bobby socks and funny ties, the band played a variety of songa..that in- volved dancers from the band and audience, Heather Steer was the M,C. for the program and she did a. great job! The next day the rain did not stop the band from marching hi the parade and playing a. few numbers for the opening cereznofies. Performing in the rain wase a new ex- perience to almost everyone in the band, however, I don't think anyone is going to take it upas a hobby! Now that the Fall Fair is over, the band will be practicing for events in the winter and the concert in May, if you can't wait Athat long to hear us, some cool, Tuesday night when the sun is setting and when the leaves are falling listen really hard for the sound' of music echoing on Bob Street., ti• Returnfrom Mbeiia vacation Congratulations to Mr. and.

Susan MacDonald: 1901 Globe cost two cents, tells of storm off east coast A week age on Saturday evening Wayne Nixon: of Ripley brought 'Ab Wylds two old newspaper sheets' which had been backing a mirror in his late father's home near Belfast (Lucknow region) . One of these was the front page of the Globe and its date line was "Toronto, Monday, April 8, 1901 - PRICE TWO CENTS" yes, two of those big Cana- dian coppers. Items of world news in this Globe were about the Boer War in South Africa, newbattleships built for Austria and Italy, and a dispute between Russia and Japan over rights in Korea. On this side of the Atlantic Ocean the news was about -the big storm on the east coast headlined. "Three Wrecks - Loss of Life". Then there followed three different stories the first from Halifax, Nova Scotia; the se- cond one froth Portland, Maine; and the' th,J.rd one from Gloucester, Massachussetts. Each place had a message or dispatch about a different sailing ship driven aground, ' smashed by waves and sailors drowned. • Considering the stories and pictures about hurricane Diana currently striking North RIPLEY by Ab Wylds Carolina westill have these raging storms along the east coast. The secondnewspaper sheet was page 9 of "THE MAIL' AND EMPIRE, TORONTO, WEDNESDAY; FEBRUARY 7,, 1900" - a year older than the above Globe. It was the financial page and its big story was the failure of two mining stocks on the Toronto Stock Market that morning Feb. 9, 1900 - The headline was A Great Fall on War Eagle - hen a"y po Gpenegd down '69s/4 ants on the Local Ex- change". x- The following paragraph copied from the papertells it clearly - "The decision to close down the War' Eagle and Center Star Mines created consternation in local speculative circles this morning. But very few of the holders of these stocks had even an idling as to the measures the directors of the com- panies decided upon. The report that the mines would be closed down and dividends stopped, came as a bolt out of the blue." How often this story has been repeated. The money invested is gone and inits place one has these fancy printed certificates which are not even good for toilet tissue. You just hang onto them to remind yourself not to do it again. - . Bill and Wanda Harris of London spent the weekend vi"siting with Francis and Margaret Gemmell on Tain Street in Ripley.
