100 years ago 28 November 1918 Dandenong Shire ANZACS On Monday at a meeting of the Dandenong Shire Council, the president (Cabot) referred to the question of entertaining the retuning ANZACS, one of whom, Sergt Dinsdale had returned on Saturday, and was welcomed at the railway station, at Dandenong, whilst others had returned at different centres in the Shire. Cr Colenso suggested that a demonstration be arranged for entertaining the ANZACS after peace had been signed, at a function to be arranged at the Town hall. Cr Groves said that each ANZAC should have a letter from the President notifying that a reception would be arranged later on. Cr Pearson said that the function should be arranged on a date to be fixed in the Town hall, and that the soldiers relatives be invited to attend also. These recommendations were adopted on motion of Crs Groves and Pearson.

5 years ago 50 years ago 26 November 1968 And Santa went "mod" It was a case of no reindeers and chimneys for Father Christmas 1968 when he staged a spectacular entrance in a modern motor cavalcade in Centre and Clayton Rds Clayton. He was on his way to St Peter's Catholic Church annual fete and delighted children and early morning shoppers by taking Christmas "orders" and giving bags of lollies to the youngsters. His entourage was also striking - girls of the Clayton Marching team gaily frocked in gold and green lurex. However a traditional Santa Clause was only on highlight of the successful all day fete which netted more that $5000 to the schools maintenance and improvement fund.
