Drinkell The Cracker Barrel Forum ‘This week our thoughts became di-j verted from present day problems while we recaptured the scenes of our early days. Someone produced a copy ofthe Century Supplement just com- piled by The Huddersfield Examiner which published its first edition on September 6th 1851. The acute short- age of newsprint is reflected in the small size of the Supplement. It con- sists only of eight pages but the pub- lishers have made excellent use of this small space to tel] the story of tae Examiner from 1851 to 1951. The story aptly commences by recounting how Thomas Hardy imagined an old news- paper soliloquising over the tragedies and comedies of a century of print: “Yes: Yes, am old. In me appears The hisfory of a hundred years: Emperors, Kings, Captives, births and deaths; Strange faiths, and fleeting shibboeths.” During its one hundred years The Examiner has had but two chairmen of the Boarl of Directors, father and son, and only three editors. Of the founder’s wife, Catherine Woodhead, it states “The care of 5 arge family did not prevent her frora siving assistance in the work of the office. She corrected’ proofs, reviewed dooks and at times reported speeches. One member of the staff had a record of 71 years service. Another had 63 years and six others have over fifty years. A remarkable tribute to the management. In sharp contrast to the severe rationing of meats prevailing ‘oday it reproduces an advertisement appearing in 1896, which proclaims: ‘Glorious News for the People of Hud dersfield. Leg of Muton 3a to 3%4 Soins and Shoulders 24 to 3d. Nec ind Breasts from 1d. BEEF. BEEF. BEEF. Prime Roasts 24 to 4d. A few choice cuts at 5d per Ib. Steak 64, shops 4d.” We cannot help thinking that would make the British housewife of todav Sigh for those “good old days.” There is little wonder that tr across the English Channel were popu- ‘ar seventy years ago. One could spend three full days in Paris enjoying a Tull program of sightseeing and en tertainment for under £5. That in-! cluded all fares, tips, hotel bills ana| other expenses. If you wished to roam farther aflield you could travel to Canada (with full provisioning) for only £3. 16s, or less than $20 at the formal rate of exchange. Af you felt like entertaini ga few friends at home you could obtain Champaign at 24s per dozen bottles or good whiskey at 25s per gallon. We pay that much for a ‘reputed quart" these days and well diluted at that. Tuch space is given to recounting the veats of the vast array of sportsmen the Town has produced through the year, many of whom still live in our) memories. In the realm of music the) old town has certainly excelled. The Choral Society was founded in 1836 and is known all over the world. Ore recording, that of Handel’s “Messiah” ‘as sold over a quarter of a million sets in the United Sstates, The Glee and Madrigal is equally we.l known having given performances in many parts of the country. In the fleli of Drama the Huddersfield Thespians gained first place in the British Drama Competition in 1925. The same year they placed second in the Belasco Cup Competition at New York and gave performances at Toronto enrout? bome. The Supplement contains some very interesting old views of the town 11, addition to a series portraying the pro- duction of the paper itself.
