Jack Riegel, now of North Bay, was one of the old standbys of the North Bay Band. Henry` Eickmeyer, now of Zurich, led the band for years too. Frank Siebert was the first leader, how- ever, and Herman Kowalsky took his place after six years. Organization of the Band came about when Fred Hinz and William Meyer, all set to buy cornets for themselves, thought it would be a good idea to get some other fellows interested in organizing a brass band in thevillage to make their musical aspirations complete. Suiting action to the word a number of music - minded men gathered at the. Hinz home and the Brodhagen. Band came into being with Gottlieb Mueller as the first president. The other mem- bers were Fred Hinz and William Meyer, primeinstigators in the movement, W. L. Querengesser, John Querengesser, Henry Wesenberg, W. Rock, W. Bach, J. - Vietor, Henry Ritz, Henry Mueller, William Hinz, Albert ='Scherbarth, George Hille- br'echt, . Geo. Riegel, Albert Queren- gesser, Henry Querengesser, John L. Bennewies and Frank ' Siebert. Of course there had to be instruments and each contributed $20 to. the Band treasury, after which arrange- ments were made through the late Albert Goebel of Mitchell for their purchase. The Brodhagen Band made its debut at a big political meeting in Dublin, a six mile trip by horse and cutter. Three of the pieces, Har- mony Waltz, Quick March Elmore and Polka Maypole, remain fresh in the minds of the present players. . A good many experiences have been theirs down through the years, and still enthusiastic and willinv, WO expect that -.many more will be chalked up in their memories through the years to come. This we know, that with a leader who has held the reins for so many years, an enthusiastic secretary treasurer, young boys of good promise in their aggregation and faithful older mem- bers, that there is little danger of s the Brodhagen Band becoming dis- banded. Their activities this year certainly bear every evidence of un- abated interest and enthusiasm. Present Band members are Ed. Eickmeyer; Jack Hinz, Albert Hinz, Ken Hinz, Albert/Querengesser, W. L. Querengesser, Ivan Querengesser, Glenn Riegel, Kenneth Smith, Nor- man Rock, Edward Scherbarth, J. L.

HISTORY OF BRODHAGEN BAND (Mitchell Advocate) The visit of Brodhagen Band to Mitchell last week to present their first band concert here this season induced us to a bit of speculation regarding an organization that could exist for long years in such a small centre as this village of around 200 people and still be going strong. And not only do they present their usual bi-weekly concerts in front of the Querengesser and Diegel store in their home community but they have resumed many an engagement that went by the wayside during war years. For instance they presented a concert at Ethel last Sunday night, returning the following day to rend- er a musical program during a cele- bration in that centre and they still have a number of engagements to fill this summer. The Brodhagen concerts have been going on every other Sunday night for the past four years which is suf- ficient evidence of their popularity. The -members practise weekly in Mueller's Hall now, but unbil six years ago met in Bennewies' Hall, at that time' turned into a residence. They have been .self'eupporbing through the forty-two years of their existence, raising their money by band socials. The present officers are; president, Albert Hinz; vice- president, Edward Scherbarth; sec- retary -treasurer, W. L. Querenges- ser who has held the position for the past 23 years, There are still four " Originals" in the group, A. E. Querengesser, who has been lead-• er for the past 24 years, W. L. Quer- engesser, Ed. Eickmeyer and J. L. Bennewies. Now they have two solo cornebists, Glenn Riegel and Edwin Scherbarth. "We have around 20-/ members now", the leader told The Advocate, "twelve of whom are younger boys who show good prom- ise," romise," ,Sometimes they have as;, high, as 26 playing. Looking back over the years Mr. Querengesser told us that they, used to go all over the country to garden, parties and celebrations in one big team -drawn vehicle called "The Brodhagen Band Wagon', carrying ,.,.

Wall Collapses at Blyth -- The The west wall of the Blyth Woollen Mill addition, which is in the course of construction, ,collapsed recently in a storm, when it caught the full blast of the strong wind. The wall had just been completed, and was minus sup- port. The cement blocks, of which it was constructed, were blown in- ward on the stringers which had been laid on the cement foundation over the cellar, and broke many of them. The wall was about 70 feet long. It was an unfortunate delay for Mr. Bainton, who is hurrying his large ad- dition to the wooleen mill to con- pletion, Sleepers and Diners in .glome from the War" Specials RESERVED FOR HEROES: Nobody looking at the smiles that wouldn't come off on these soldiers digging into a chicken dinner on a Canadian Pacific Railway diner or watching the reunion of this airman with the two -and -a -half -year-old son he had seen only as a new-born infant could complain about the switch -over of sleep- ing and dining cars from ordinary travel to speed the return, of active service personnel from the war. In the two-day period when these pictures were taken (June 16-17), there were 2,000 servicemen handled through Montreal on seven 0;P,R, trains. CHRISTIANS AWAKE !
