Andrinovich Wins Scholarship For Second Year George Andrinovich, well-known 'Oshawa Baritone, has returned | from his second summer at the Banff School of Famous Arts with his second scholarship. The $200 Scholarship covers tuition and liv- ing expenses for most of the five- week course. The group singing classes where the students solo and are put te the criticism of their fellow pupils are very helpful, Mr. Andrinovich told the Times-Gazette. He is es- pecially fortunate in having his re- gular music teacher as instructor at the summer school. He studies under Doctor Ernesto Vinci, his teacher at the Royal Conservatory of Mugic in Toronto. Students from Canada,'the States and Europe go to Banff to study painting, music, writing, ballet and the other modern arts under the world's finest teachers, includ- ing photographer Malik Karsh. They live in chalets midst the mountains, not far from Banff's Lake Louise. Aside from classes there were excursions to different places including Yoho Valley and Calgary, George missed both the Stampede and most of the excur- sions because the choral classes were busy with Frederick von Flo- tow's opera "Marthon." In that roduction George sang baritone we) -- the part of Plunkett, a wealthy farmer. It was presented the last week of the term to pack- ed audiences. The string classes played the complete overture to "Marthon." Other successful projects of the music class were a singing recital and the performance of Mendtti's 'The Old Maid and the Thief.' George intends to return to Banff next summer to sing in a produc tion of "Madame Butterfly." Labor Delegates Claim Fewer Will Use Buses The recent increase in Oshawa Railway fares came up for brief discussion at the Oshawa and Dis- trict Labour Council meeting last * night. Delegate William Rutherford said when he takes his family by bus, he has to walk five blocks and pay a total of 50 cents. "I may as well take a taxi," he said. "It only costs 60 cents and there's no walking and it's more comfortable." . He thought more and more people were ignoring the buses and walking. The number of passeng- ers was falling off. "At this rate, the Company will need further increases next year, and the year after that, until the only ones riding them will be those fellows with the free passes." "Or the bus drivers," someone suggested. ry Mike Fenwick said that following the hearing of the Transportation Board he had been wondering where the advertising income went. "The buses have advertising placards inside and" out. Where does the income go. At the hearing this wasn't shown as income." "The parent company, the CNR" Fenwick charged," is getting that money but not attributing 'it to the buses so that they will not show a profit." The Municipal Committee was instructed to investigate this mat- er. . . It was also pointed out that four or five sections of the city are without bus service, despite the company's obligation to provide transportation for the whole city. The buses were missing out on a chance to make more money, it was claimed. Woodview Park Backwards Day On Wednesday, August 12, Wood- view Park had backwards day.

Good Progress With Harvesting The weekly report from the On- tario Department of Agriculture office at Uxbridge says that good progress is being made with har- vesting in Ontario County, Pas- tures are holding up well and some splendid quality second-cut (hay is_ being harvested. Many fields of red clover in the county are being left to mature for seed, and look promising, the report adds. Reports from Durham and Northumberland counties state that the apple crop is sizing up very well, and the picking of early beginning to ripen, but a larger percentage than usual of blossom end rot is reported and will in- fluence the yield.

Fred, who is now dead, was a civil engineer and a former clerk of the township of Reach. Grant, the only one of the original family still living at the old homestead farm near Man- chester, is a past warden of the County of Ontario and is now the Clerk of Reach Township. Second generation members of the family are coming to the fore now, but oldtimers can still re- member when the early Christies were the stalwarts of South On- tario. Certainly the sketch in the United States University magazine leaves little doubt as the distin- guished career of Dr. Alexander Graham Christie. LEADER OF MEN He is the professor emeritus of the John Hopkins School of Engi- neering in Baltimore. A plaque in Maryland Hall, erected in 1949 dur- ing Dr. Christie's 35th year there, describes him as a "Scholar - Teacher - Leader of Men'. This is no empty praise. It is a token of the esteem this former leagues and students alike. A graci- {ous and amiable man, Dr. Christie has a remarkable list of achieve- ments.

NORTH OSHAWA -- If you live in the North Oshawa area, you may be startled on Thursday by the war-whoops of Indians and the beat-beat of tom-toms, for this is |the day the Indians take over the CRA playground. All of the inter- esting things of Indian folk-lore have been planned in the program for afternoon and evening. The chil- dren of North Oshawa will be en- tertained in the oldest of North American traditions, and will join in games that are timeless. _ In the evening, the Mother's Aux- iliary of the CRA will have a snack bar.

GRADUATE OF TORONTO Dr. Christie's crowded career began at the University of Toronto where he studied Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. After three years there, in 1901, young Chris- tie left to take a job with Westing- house Machine Company of Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania.

ORIGINATED MARINE SCHOOL In the Second World War, Dr. Christie originated and sustained | the Merchant Marine School at {men special engineering training. {He helped in training women air- craft workers in mechanics, mathe- matics and drafting and he was chosen by the government as one of a small pioneering group to study the them unknown frontiers of jet - propulsion. In 1951, Dr. Christie was appointed to a com- mission to visit Japan and study the industrial and educational sys- tem of that country. EUROPEAN TRIPS Almost every summer since the 1920's, Dr. Christie has turned his | efforts to his consulting practice. He made European jaunt for at least three British firms. The Reynolds Metal Company, American concern, sent him abroad in 1943 and in 1947.
