The lady and the 1933 Dodge sedan
This photo looks like it may have been taken in the 1930's, but it was actually
taken in 1990 at the Woden cemetery in Canberra.
The dodge was a great vehicle to drive, with reasonably light steering
and a 6 cylinder engine that could propel the car up to 80 miles per hour.

1958 Holden sedan advert - You too can be 'King for a day'
This Holden sedan advert. is from September 1958, and talks about
the dependable 6 cylinder engine which is "now more silent than ever".
Prices for the 4 door sedan (there was no 2 door) started at 910 Australian
Pounds, and the station wagon price started at 995 Pounds.
(Dollars and cents were not introduced into Australia until February 1966).
A man who purchased one of these Holdens in 1958 would have certainly
experienced the euphoria of being ' king for a day', but after that, he would
simply be another statistic included in the ever increasing number of Holden
owners appearing on Australian roads.
Two years later, the Holden would experience some serious competition,
when, in September 1960, the Australian Ford Falcon was launched amidst
an avalanche of advertising in newspapers, magazines, and on radio and television.

When the world famous Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini first heard the music
of Richard Wagner, he gave up any ideas of becoming a composer, because, as
he put it, "anything that I would have composed, would have been mediocre in
comparison".
Toscanini had in fact composed a few piano pieces and some chamber music prior
to this, but after hearing Wagner's music, he decided to stick to conducting.
It's unclear whether the 'music of Wagner' he heard for the first time was from
Tristan und Isolde, Lohengrin, Tannhauser, or even possibly music from the Ring
Cycle, but in 1895, Toscanini was conducting one of the first public performances
of Wagner's music in Italy (Gotterdammerung in Turin), and by 1929 he made his
debut conducting Wagner at Bayreuth !
In brief.
It's almost impossible to be 'brief' when talking about Toscanini, but here
goes -
Arturo Toscanini was born in Italy in 1867. Originally a cellist, he began
conducting in 1886 at the age of 19. He married Carla de Martini in June 1897.
Picture of Arturo Toscanini aged 19.
As mentioned above, Toscanini made his debut at Bayreuth in 1929. He
described the conducting of Wagner at Bayreuth as "exhausting", but loved
it nevertheless, and likened his time there to "conducting in a temple".
When Mussolini came to power, Toscanini refused to recognize his authority,
and by the early 1930's, he labelled Mussolini and Hitler as "delinquents".
When Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933, he asked Toscanini
to return to Bayreuth, but Toscanini refused. He didn't want to be associated
with any form of fascism, and described the German conductor Wilhelm
Furtwangler as "an opportunist".
In 1937, David Sarnoff, head of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC),
offered Toscanini his OWN orchestra in the form of the NBC Orchestra, situated
in New York's Rockefeller Center. This was an offer too good to refuse, and
Toscanini accepted. Live performances of the NBC Orchestra conducted by
Toscanini were broadcast over NBC radio stations.
The first live TV broadcast of the NBC Orchestra was made on March 20th, 1948.
It was an all-Wagner concert, and it's worth noting that the final performance of
the NBC Orchestra broadcast on TV on April 4th, 1954, also consisted entirely of
Richard Wagner arrangements !
By now, Toscanini was 87 years old. He had been conducting the NBC
Orchestra for 17 years. His wife Carla had died 3 years earlier in June 1951.

Arturo Toscanini died on the 16th of January 1957, aged 89, and
is interred at the Cimitero Monumentale in Milan.
He once said that he didn't believe in religion, but believed there
was a God.

Shintaro Akikusa (Koichi Ose) is alive and well in 2009.
Despite rumours circulating in the late 1990's that the Japanese actor Koichi Ose
had passed away, I can happily announce that he is alive and well in 2009, and will
no doubt be around for many years to come.
Koichi Ose was the actor who played the role of Shintaro Akikusa in the 1960's
TV series The Samurai which was broadcast in Japan, Australia, and parts of Asia,
in the 1960's, with repeats running well into the late 1970's.
The series was not broadcast in the UK or the USA.
The picture below shows Koichi Ose (right) as Shintaro, with his faithful friend
Tombei the Mist, an Iga Ninja, from (about) 1964.

Tombei 'the mist' from an episode of The Samurai.
The next picture shows Koichi Ose in Japan in 2009.
Koichi Ose during an interview in 2009.
Shintaro's trip to Australia
The series was extremely popular in Australia, so popular in fact, that
Shintaro visited Australia in December 1965, doing stage performances
of The Samurai in Sydney and Melbourne.
The tour was extremely successful, with huge crowds attending both the
Sydney and Melbourne performances.
This short extract was taken from Nikki White's very comprehensive site
on The Samurai TV series (see link below), regarding Shintaro's visit to
Australia -
"On the night of 5th January 1966, Ose (Shintaro) flew to Melbourne to a deafening welcome from
ove 7000 fans. This represented the biggest crowd at Essendon Airport since the arrival
of the Beatles, a fact which was even reported in the Japanese press. Essendon has long since
been superseded by Tullamarine Airport as Melbourne's major airport. Ose was in the city for three
stage shows (Thursday 6th January-Saturday 8th January, 2.15pm daily) at Melbourne's Festival Hall.
Here at these shows his arrival on stage was greeted as enthusiastically as in Sydney with cheering,
which he acknowledged with a bow. This caused Melbourne newspapers to join with their Sydney
counterparts in declaring Robin Hood, Superman, Tom Mix and Davy Crockett things of the past.
All told, Ose was in Australia a total of 2 weeks before film commitments forced him to return to
Japan. Not all his fans were children. Some of the most enthusiastic and unruly at his arrivals and
appearances were teenage girls".
Koichi Ose dressed as Shintaro at Sydney airport, Dec.1965.
The TV series was set in 18th century feudal Japan during the Tokugawa
(Edo) Period, with Shintaro playing the role of a masterless Samurai.
In fact, "Shintaro Akikusa" was an undercover name to protect his real
identity - Matsudaira Nobuchiyo , a half-brother to the Shogun, Tokugawa
Ienari, who ruled from 1787 to 1837. Shintaro was acting on orders from the
Shogun's chief councillor, Matsudaira Sadanobu.
In Japan, the series was titled "Onmitsu Kenshi" (Spy Swordsman), and was
originally broadcast between 1962 and 1965.
In Australia, The Samurai was broadcast on Channel 9 from late 1964 to 1967.
Australia's leading authority on The Samurai series is, without doubt, Nikki White
of Canberra (pictured below), and anybody who wants more information about
episodes of The Samurai should visit Nikki's site at -
Nikki White - Australia's leading authority on The Samurai TV series.
An interesting piece of information supplied by Nikki concerns the
theme music from the series, which was normally instrumental, but also
included a vocal version which was heard during one of the episodes.
The title was "Edo no Onmitsu Wataridori".

British motorways based on German autobahns of the 1930's.
The picture below shows the newly opened M1 motorway in England
in 1959, and the similarity to the German autobahn of 1935 (seen in
the other picture), is quite obvious.
The opening of a German autobahn in 1935
Both the English motorway and the German autobahn consisted of
two roads serarated by a narrow piece of land. There was no speed
limit, and lighting was not provided.
The only advantage the 1959 motorway had over the 1935 autobahn
is that it consisted of 3 lanes in each direction (instead of 2).
Today, the M1 has 4 lanes in each direction ( the outside lane is for
emergency use only).
The autobahn in the picture, is in fact the highway between Frankfurt
and Darmstadt, and today, has been widened to 8 lanes - 4 lanes in each
direction. The overhead bridge seen in the background is no longer there.
What both road systems now have in common is that the motorways and
the autobahns are extremely busy, and congestion is not uncommon, despite
the increase in the number of lanes.
Motoring on the autobahns in the 1930's and the motorways in the late
1950's and early 1960's must have been a real 'breeze' - compared to today !

During the 1950's he presented the "Amateur Hour"
on Radio, and from 1969 to 1971 he presented "New Faces"
on Channel 9, from the Sydney studios.
The "Amateur Hour" wound up in 1960, due to competition
from television, which commenced in Sydney and Melbourne
in 1956, and Brisbane in 1959. (The original designation for channel
9 in Brisbane was "QTQ9").
"New Faces" originated in Melbourne in 1963, and was hosted
by Frank Wilson.
During the period from 1969 to 1971, the show was presented
by Frank Wilson in Melbourne, and Terry Dear in Sydney, and
the name was changed to "Australia's New Faces".
Besides "Australia's New Faces", Terry Dear made numerous
appearances on other television shows, and was affectionately
known as "Terry Dearest".

The picture below shows a section of the Brandenburg Documentation
Centre, which includes the Brandenburg Prison Museum, at Brandenburg
on the river Havel, north of Berlin. The centre was opened in 1988.
The complex, which included the (new) Brandenburg Prison, was severely
damaged during the war, and little remains of the original buildings.
The prison, when operational, contained an execution room, where
around 20000 prisoners were executed between 1940 and 1945, either
by hanging or decapitation. The execution room contained a guillotine,
a replica of which can be seen in the reconstructed execution room in
the museum (see second picture).
Thirty two Jehovah's Witnesses were executed during that period, most
of them by the guillotine.

Footnote: A number of Jehovah's Witnesses were also executed at the Plotzensee
Prison in Berlin, some of them by the guillotine.
The main reasons for the crackdown on Jehovah's Witnesses were that they refused
to give the 'German salute' (Hitler salute), and they also refused to participate in
military service, both before and during the war.
The crackdown was encouraged by the Catholic church (in Germany), along with
some of the other churches, who resented the JW interpretation of the biblical
scriptures.

This Cupressus Torulosa is approximately 40 feet high and about
30 feet wide. The Cupressus Torulosa is commonly known as the
"Himalayan Cypress" , but occasionally it is referred to as a
"Bhutan Cypress" (which may or may not be correct).
This tree is in "original condition", and has never been clipped, pruned,
or fertilized !
It was planted in 1977.
This is an excellent example of a classic Himalayan Cypress .The crown has
that distinctive Torulosa 'cone' shape, and the canopy is reasonably thick,
especially on the North side of the crown, which faces the sun during the
day.
The root system of this tree does not cause major problems like other
species (such as eucalypts). The thickness of the trunk in 2006 is about
14 inches (35 cm), and the circumference is 4 feet (122 cm).
The soil is predominately clay.

eucalypt) .

Picture of a 1933 Humber 12 sedan.
The picture below shows a 1933 Humber 12 sedan. The photo was
taken in 1990, near Canberra.
The car was originally the official vehicle of the mayor of Launceston
(Tasmania), Mr. Allen Hollingsworth (1894-1954), who used it during 1933
and 1934.
The car was housed in a garage in Hobart for about 20 years, before it
was shipped across the Tasman to Canberra in 1988. The whereabouts
of the vehicle today is unknown.
It featured leather upholstery, a four speed gearbox, and a wind-up clock
on the dashboard. It was 'rated' at12 horsepower, but actually developed
around 40 brake horsepower (BHP) and had a top speed of just over
60 miles per hour.
Humbers were popular vehicles for minor government officials, especially
during the 1930's.
Typically, the minor officials were provided with the smaller Humbers, such
as the 12, 14, or 16, and the higher-up officials got to be driven around in a Humber
Hawk, a Humber Snipe, or even a Humber 'Super' Snipe.
When the second world war broke out, the production of civilian Humbers
ceased, and only military vehicles were manufactured.
Field Marshal Montgomery was chauffeured around North Africa and Europe
in an army green Super Snipe staff car which he nicknamed "Old Faithful".
The Humber 12 pictured below was an ideal size for a 'drive yourself' vehicle,
and was not large enough to warrant the services of a chauffeur.
There are only about 5 of these 1933 Humber 12's left in the world.

An impressive parade in Beijing today, marked 60 years since

The announcement establishing the People's Republic was read
out by Mao Zedong in Beijing (see picture below), on October 1, 1949.
On January 22, 1949, Mao's troops took Beijing from the Chinese
Nationalists (under Chiang Kai-shek), and on May 26, the city of
Shanghai fell to Mao's forces.
The first Premier of the People's Republic was Chou En-lai.

A lot can be said (and written) about the events leading up
to the establishment of the People's Republic of China.
A significant achievement was the demise and eventual disappearance
of regional warlords across China, which, as is painfully obvious, is a
major problem in many countries today, such as Afghanistan.
Chiang Kai-shek and his nationalists fled to Taiwan, and the rest, as the
cliche goes, is history, or, more to the point, 20th Century history.
