Some minor updates have been made to correct some spelling errors in the original book and layout in-compatibilities 2001 armybarmy.com PREFACE The progress of The Salvation Army in its work amongst the poor and lost of many lands has compelled me to face the problems which an more or less hopefully considered in the following pages. The grim necessities of a huge Campaign carried on for many years against the evils which lie at the root of all the miseries of modern life, attacked in a thousand and one forms by a thousand and one lieutenants, have led me step by step to contemplate as a possible solution of at least some of those problems the Scheme of social Selection and Salvation which I have here set forth. When but a mere child the degradation and helpless misery of the poor Stockingers of my native town, wandering gaunt and hunger-stricken through the streets droning out their melancholy ditties, crowding the Union or toiling like galley slaves on relief works for a bare subsistence kindled in my heart yearnings to help the poor which have continued to this day and which have had a powerful influence on my whole life.

  • JOHN CROOK – Cycling Experiences
    JOHN CROOK – Cycling Experiences My introduction to cycling was as a 12-year-old grammar schoolboy, when during the school summer term, we had French exchange boys who knew about the Wednesday evening track meetings at the Southampton Sports centre. A group of us attended these track meetings, being very envious of the French boy’s bikes with their coloured frames, calliper brakes and derailleur gears. Compared to our own ‘Sit up and Beg’ black bikes. It was also an opportunity to dream of having our own Claud Butler, Rotrax, Holdsworth etc. racing bikes ridden by the track riders and grown up spectators. These track meetings were well supported by cyclists and public spectators, there was even a regular programme seller. The track was well used by the ‘Track League’ club events and invitation events. The ‘end of season’ promotion, by the Southern Paragon CC, was quite a big event, I remember Beryl Burton being one of the celebrity riders. Sadly, the track was broken up (in the 80s?) to make room for grass field events. Various sports people petitioned to keep it open, but the bulldozers were called in before decisions could be made! On leaving school at 15, I started work as an invoice clerk for ‘Kearley and Tongue’, who was the food distributor for International Stores, another large chain of grocers which has disappeared. , Also, on leaving school I joined the CTC with another school leaver, which was a very good introduction to cycling. After a few months I heard of ‘Massed Start Racing’ at the Blandford Army Camp, so I made my way there several times where I met Mike Radford, a well known local cyclist (and enthusiast).
