W H (Dad) Brewer set up and ran the brickworks for the SEC (1918-1920) and later took it over when the SEC didnt require bricks to build the township. Dad Brewer was a Director of 3TR, which radio station was got up and running by many Yallourn people. It was based at Trafalgar but shifted to Sale at sometime. Dad Brewer was also League President and President of Yallourn Football Club and was awarded Life Membership with a 9 ct gold badge in 1946. The pavillion at the #1 Oval was also named after him. It was opened by Pat Kennelly, who worked at Yallourn as a Union rep and was banned from entering the town and the works at one stage. He later became the power minister as I recall. W H Brewer died about 1949....Neil Crawley
