Our Orono News commences commences this week with sad news, Orono has lost a very well known citizen in the person of Douglas Lycctt. From a great many years ago, when we first heard Douglas singing "Cindy Mirindy" and watching him skate so professionally, it seems he's always made a great success of whatever he commenced. In later years he became famous for his love of lilies! He and his partner turned acres of land into a thing of beauty. On Saturday, Orono United Church bid farewell to Douglas. His good friend Mrs. Gladys Brown, Peterborough, played the church organ and sang, in his memory. Reverend Mervyn Russell gave the address, to the very large crowd in attendance. Our sympathy to his brother Donald and family and his partner, Henry Lorrain. Some bygone news brought up to date. In 1948 a military jet crashed on Sunday, September 19, from Trenton a few miles cast and about one mile north of Enterprise (Tower Hill) killing the pilot flight lieutenant lieutenant Leslie P. Banner, 28 years. The pilot left a wife and two small children. He was a native of North Bay. On Sunday, September 20, a memorial wreath was laid on this spot by Lee Ross, a grandson of the deceased, from Toronto. Sincere congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. George Day, former residents of Durham Complex for seniors, who on Sunday, September 20 celebrated their 60th diamond wedding anniversary.
