Riehl, Broil-Wen. of Brodhagen Band The following history of Brodhagen Band was written by Mrs. Edward Scherbarth, Jr.: "Jt was in the fall of 1904 that the late Fred Hinz and the late William Meyer decid- ed that they would each buy a cornet. This led to the idea of organizing a brass. band in • the village of Brodhagen. They soon found that other men shared their desire to get a band start- ed. A meeting was arranged at the home of the late Mr. Hinz. That night the Brddhagen Band was formed, with the late Got- tlieb Mueller as the first presi- dent. "Members of the band when it was formed that evening back in 1904 were: Gottlieb Mueller, Fred Hinz, William -Meyer, Otto Ritz, John Querengesser, Henry Wesenberg, William Vock, Wil- liam Bach, John Vietor, Henry Ritz, Henry Mueller, William Hinz, Albert Scherbarth, Henry Querengesser, George Hille- brecht, George Diegel, Albert Querengesser, John L. Benne- wies and Frank "-Siebert,. the first leader. Of these originals, the only members living today are George Diegel, William Bach, John Wolfe and • William Hinz. "Since its beginning the membership has often followed from father to son and grand- son. Someone from- nearly ev- ery family in this district . has been in the band at some time. Many men and boys have given a good deal of time, talent and energy to the band, and in re- turn gained the satisfaction of playing with the band and Every week more people dis- cover what mighty • jobs are accomplished by low cost Ex- positor Want Ads.

In its early day the band number 17 men, wh boasted their own navy blu uniforms. • "Much of the credit for success goes to the band. lea ers over the year. The fir band leader, Frank Siebert, w followed six years later by He man Kowalsky. Later, M Kowalsky returned to German and Mr. Siebert returned a director. Henry Eickmeier, wh later moved ,,to Zurich, was th next band leader. He was fo lowed by Albert Querengess who remained bandmasted fo 30 years. He was succeeded b Albert Hinz, and now . Clar French and Gary Sholdice sh the leadership. "In an attempt to keep u with the times, the band no has majorettes and a color par ty. A few girls are trying t break tradition and play in th band. The Women's Auxiliary was formed this spring an tried to ease the cost of ne uniforms by sewing the vest worn -tonight. "The first concert 60 year ago was given in Looby's Ha in Dublin at a big , politicar meeting. It has been the . cu tom here at Brodhagen to hav the band play at many of ou social gatherings. They hav played at everything from pi nics, lawn socials and wedding to the snore solemn churc services. Through the year the band has played at man social events within 25 mile and a few beyond that. For long time it was one of the fe bands in the district, but late each town, had its own band During the depression, Brod hagen Band played very se dom, as people couldn't affor to hire a band. "The' band has presente many' Sunday evening concert throughout the summer months A platform was set up in fron of Querengesser's store, . no Shol'dice's, and people came i n- ut of y is s 0 e Lts st as r r. y s 0 1- er r y e are p w 0 e d w s s 11 s- e r e c - s, h s y s, a w r 1- rd d s n cars to line both sides of the main street of Brodhagen. Lat- er, the band gave concerts in the old .bandstand purchased from Mitchell and set up on the Cofnmunity Centre grounds. Last winter it collapsed under the heavy snow. "In the early .44;0 they trav- elled" by team and • wagon or sleigh. Some older folk can re- member hearing the band wa- gon• coming down the road as they practised a few numbers on the . way. Some others may recall the day the sleigh upset in a snow bank on the way home from Brussels. Later, the bandsmen were 'transported on William Querengesser's truck. Although it went faster than horses, it would occasionally heat up and threaten to stop. With the coming of motor cars, the band members travelled in more comfort and with greater speed. "There has always been a comradeship among the band members that made up for all the extra time and effort it takes to belong to a band. The first picnic for band members and their families was held in 1905 in a bush north of Brod- hagen, now owned by doss Leonhardt. Just last winter, while sawing down a tree for logs, the saw ran into a spike which- was driven into a tree to hold up a booth for the picnic. In more recent , years, picnics have been held at parks or at members' homes, and still the feeling of 'good. friendship prevails. "In all its 60 years, the bard has been self-supporting. In addition to their playing, they have sponsored this annual band social and rented out a dance floor. Without the sup- port of both the band members and the people of 'this com- munity, this band could not have existed, nor brought plea- sure to so many. "The organization of the Brodhagen Band grew from a desire of a group of men to play band music. For 60 years the people of this community have seen fit to carry it on, May this fine tradition be car- ried on with the same, spirit as in the past." )H GEN tows S Ol mg " E and 4au4i to ,,s, of Briinton, with Mrs EarlesI , ells .F914Mr. and Mrs. WLl fled Ahrens; • Mr. and • Mr's #Lavern • Wolfe and, Laurence Russei1 with Air., and Mrs. Ed,'Oliver; Stratford, on Saturday.

Tans, unfortunately-, fade. The, sun loses it's warmth and winter, inevitably, arrives with all its heating problems. So don't get caught with your damper down—think cool fora moment and make the switch to natural gas home heating now. Why gas? Well, to begin with, modern automatic gas heating equipment is low in cost. You can rent a gas conversion burner for only $2.95 a month -installed into your present furnace and 'payable on yobr regular gas bill. Or you can buy a new gas designed furnace for as little as $3.80 a ,month and you can take up to 5 years to pay, if you wish. - Natural gas is also low in fuel costs. Whether your home has normal or extra -thick insulation, you'll find that gas fuel costs are consistently lower than liquid fuel or so-called "flameless" heating. Do it right now ! It makes good sense to switch while the sun shines and while your heating contractor is readily available. Move up to modern gas heating now; you won't have to pay a cent until next October (even if •September's full of frosty Fridays). Call your heating contractor, department store or gas company soon. Then relax and enjoy your summer tan. UNION GAS COMPANY The Friendly Fuel that never fails.
