• Note Tower Radio ad includes televisions – I dont believe there were more than a few thousand TV sets in the entire country in 1939 – they were certainly leaders in technology.

• Yes, so many pages of information. Thanks to Michael and Lynn for sending this in. To add to Michael’s comment about T.V. I see the Premier club had a television for public viewing. I wonder how big the screen was?

• In the list of Prize Givers is Uncle Frank’s Bar. I have a picture of a person my mother told me was Uncle Frank. I think the picture was taken in the thirties. I’ll email it to you, Janet.

• I remember the television in my parent’s club, the particular feature was that the screen was on top, facing the ceiling, and a fixed mirror in the lid when raised at an angle presented an elevated screen for the viewers. I recall only that it was a small screen. Edmundo Ross and his Latin American Band, with Petula Clark – very fond memories: Thank You.

• Looking at the list of street names in the area I lived. I know where Warburg and Wamburg Roads were but where was Warrior Square? In the thirties and forties that area was known as Kloster Park.
