Kilrenny town council presented James Wallace apprentice Carpenter, Cellardyke with the Humane Society Testimonial on parchment in recognition of his bravery in rescuing a boy Andrew Henderson from drowning on 11th June 1924…. The testimonial was one which Wallace might be well proud, and had no doubt it would hang side by side with the testimonial presented to his father for saving life at sea at Yarmouth in 1901. It was a splendid family record.
At the invitation of Pittenweem Football Club fully sixty five couples were present at a whict drive and dance in Pittenweem public school hall…. At the dance excellent music was supplied by Cellardyke Zazz Band.

A familiar Cellardyke veteran
Our Portrait is that of auld Thamas Tamson who resides at 12 John Street. Cellardyke, and is in his 92nd year. … Thamas is as fit as a fiddle and proudly boasts that he never had a doctor in his life except once when he broke three ribs on board his boat. He ran away to sea as a stowaway when 12 on board the wid jammer the Javis which sailed from Anstruther….. He got married when he was still sailing and naively tells that he left his ship and took to the fishing because his wife ‘didna see the use of being married when he was never at haime’ This was in the leisurely days before the trawling industry swept the ocean beds of their finny inhabitants and thereby ruined the simpler calling of the fisher craft
( a few days later the death of a successful Cellardyke trawl fisherman and owner is mentioned)
