100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
The “Standard” transferred to new ownership The public we feel sure will not be slow to recognise enterprise and reward it accordingly. There are many directions in which the interests of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings and the Peninsula generally should be advanced, and the “Standard” hopes to lend its support to every movement deserving of success. The phrase “Support local enterprise” is rather a hackeneyed one, but it nevertheless expresses a principle vital to the success and progress of any town district or State. *** OWING to pressure on space several items of interest have been held over, including report of Somerville Fruitgrowers Association meeting, Tyabb news, correspondence and general news. *** FRANKSTON Progress Association. An important meeting of the Frankston Progress Association is called for next Friday in the Mechanics. *** “STANDARD” Calendar.—With this issue we present our readers with the “Standard” Calendar for 1919. *** CHRISTMAS Holidays. There will be no issue of the “Standard” next week owing to the Christmas holidays. Advertisers and contributors will please note that the next issue of the “Standard” will take place on Saturday, 4th January. *** A BIG Equestrian Attraction – A Gymkhana on an extensive scale will be held in the Frankston Park on the

The proceeds go to the fund of the Y.M.C.A special appeal fund. During the interval Staff Sergeant Smith drew the attention of the audience to the many kindnesses extended to himself and comrades, & expressed the appreciation of the soldiers of the splendid service which the Y M C A had at all times rendered. Sergeant Smith’s remarks were an ample refutation of the derogatory remarks of a few pariotic (sic) individuals of this town relative to the work of the Y M C A *** Heard in the Train.

Jennings, B A S will deliver a public lecture at an early date, on this most important and valuable industry. *** PAVEMENT “Merchants” – The legitimate tradesman always has reason to complain when he has to compete against the “pavement merchant” or barrow-man. The latter is always in a position to under sell the man in the shop; his cart or barrow pays no rates or taxes and usually takes up a position in the best business sites in the town. At the last meeting of the local Shire Council the initial step was taken in the direction of “regulating” this class of itinerant salesman. *** THE Jovials.—Nothwithstanding counter attractions “The Jovials” was well patronised on Saturday night last, when they appeared at the Mechan-

Compiled by Brodie Cowburn THE proprietorship of the “Standard” has been transferred to Mr Wm. Crawford Young, son of the retiring owner. Mr Young, senr., after a long and active career in the newspaper world is about to retire from the more strenuous duties imposed upon him for so many years in journalistic enterprise. The incoming proprietor has had a wide and varied experience in public life which should specially fit him for his new position. In association with his father he conducted the “Great Southern Star” at Leongatha, and later established the “Circular Head Chronicle” in Tasmania. While in the Island State he was appointed Town Clerk and Clerk of Courts at Stanley, which positions he has just resigned after ten years service. The Council on his retirement presented him with an illuminated address followed by the citizens with their token of esteem in the shape of a substantial purse. The foregoing is not recorded in any spirit of egotism but rather by way of introducing a stranger to a district and its people. Under war conditions the life of a newspaper proprietor was not an enviable one. With the dawn of a new year and brighter prospect it will be the ambition of the “Standard” to advance with the times and if possible keep a little ahead. The office staff has already been improved and the printery department brought tip to date.
