100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Bank manager accidently shot while examining revolver considered necessary. So imbued was the Engineer with the feeling of the necessity of the work being done, that he not only made the necessary arrangements for the loan; but also, at his own home during the evenings, prepared the required plans. When this was completed, and the money was made available, he reported to the Council that all was in readiness. The whole scheme was blocked, however, by one of the Councillors moving that £500 of the loan should be used for improvements to the Cranbourne Road Reserve. It was at once pointed out that the money, having been raised for a specific purpose, must be used for same. However, through the general discussion that followed, and the fact that the matter was not forced to a division, the loan, not being availed of within the time agreed, it consequently lapsed. And while it is quite within the province, and we hope will be decided by the Council to again ask their Engineer to proceed to get the necessary money for the Park Improvement Scheme, we are afraid he will not be able to get it at the same low rate as heretofore. *** THE Misses Craig, with their brother, Mr. Craig, of Wedderburn, who have been enjoying· the salubrious climate here for the past month, are about to take their departure for their home town. Before leaving, however, they all expressed the pleasure they had experienced whilst on their visit.
The Misses Muntz, of Nathalia, who have had an extended holiday in Frankston, are leaving this week for home. They have had a most enjoyable time, the only thing missed by them being a croquet lawn, as at their home they have one laid down and both of these ladies are experts at the game. They also said that when they again visited Frankston they hoped that the suggestion of Mrs. Heymanson had been carried out. This sentiment was also expressed by the Misses Craig. *** THE many friends of Mr. E. P. Davis, of Wells Street, Frankston will regret to hear that his son Roy whilst working at his trade as a cabinet maker, in Melbourne, had the misfortune to cut his left arm so severely with a chisel, necessitating eight stitches being inserted. We understand that so far the injured arm is progressing as well as can be expected. We trust it will soon be quite healed. *** WE regret to hear that Mrs. McComb, wife of Mr. T. McComb, had another bad turn. We sincerely hope that the set back will be only a temporary nature, and the old lady, will soon be about again. *** MR. Lalor, station master, Frankston, is at present on furlough. The relieving officer is Mr. Mulchay. *** MRS. Kitchen, wife of Canon Kitchen, of “St. Paul’s,” Hay, New South Wales, and formerly vicar of Frankston, is at present with her children spending a holiday with
Feldman, Wells Street, Frankston. *** FRANKSTON is indeed honored and favoured in the appointment for the staff of the High School of Miss Broughton, B.A., Dip. Ed., who amongst her many other honors holds the much coveted Distinguished Service Medal of the Royal Life Saving Society. This medal, which was sent to her from London, is the only one held by a woman in the Southern Hemisphere. As a matter of fact, there are only four other women in the British Empire holding it. The public can, therefore, judge the qualifications needed to be its possessor. In addition, Miss Broughton holds the Bronze Medallion, and the Award of Merit of the Society. Last year Miss Broughton’s club, i.e., The Bendigo High School Club, were the winners of the “Lewis Excellence Cup,” for the best ladies’ club, securing 294 points, while the next club, which was a seaside club, gained only 130 points. In addition to this between 80 and 100 of the pupils who have passed through her hands have secured the Bronze Medallion, and another 150 have been awarded the proficiency certificate. With all these honors crowded up on her, Miss Broughton is most unassuming, her whole soul being centred upon the good work she is doing — and, like most people who have rendered good service to humanity, she shrinks from publicity. However, as this information has come to our knowledge, we feel it is only just that the people of the district

— whose children are partly in her care — and others, should also know the calibre of the lady to whom we refer. Further, we understand that numbers of the pupils who have passed through Miss Broughton’s hands are engaged today in profiting by her tuition, and teaching others the art of swimming and life-saving. *** THE Somerville and Mornington tennis match had to he abandoned, owing to thee weather affecting the courts, on Saturday last. *** IN our issue of February 20 we notified the public that the gift of a soprano cornet had been made to the Frankston Band by Lieut.-Colonel Lazarus. Since then, however, we learn that there is quite a history attached to this instrument, which is, in our opinion, well worth repeating. It appears that in the early stages of the war this cornet belonged to the band of a battalion under the command of the gallant colonel, and from then on served its useful purpose on the other side of the world, finally passing into the hands of the aforesaid gentleman, who has now donated it to the band. Whether the experiences it has undergone will enable the operator to produce sweeter music remains to be seen; but we feel that we could not let it come into our midst without the little comment we have made. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 22 Feb 1924

Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR. Cyril Cameron, 38, manager of the Bank of Australasia at Port Melbourne, visited Frankston last Tuesday, and on Thursday morning it was reported that he had been found in the camp of a contractor named Hodgins, on Humphries Road, about three miles from the town. He was in a pitiable condition, and on examination it was found that he had been shot in the chest. The police had him removed to Frankston, where he was attended by Dr. Maxwell. He explained that he was examining an automatic revolver, when it went off and wounded him in the chest. Mr. Cameron was out throughout Tuesday night’s storm. He is now in Sister Creswick’s private hospital. *** Some discussion having taken place at the last meeting of the Progress Association on the question of the Frankston Park Improvement Scheme and the £2000 loan raised by the Shire Council for that purpose. And believing the general public – who are apparently in the dark – would like to know the exact position, we have made some inquiries, and find the following to be the case. When the Council decided to float a loan of £2000 for the purpose before indicated, they empowered the Shire Engineer, Lieut.-Colonel Lazarus, who is a past master in the art of raising of finances, to at once make the necessary arrangements to secure the loan. Further, he was instructed to prepare plans for the proposed alterations, and general improvements that were
