A third intermediate University Women Raising Fund For Historical Society Project By Jo. Aldwinckle While some organizations are still considering what their par- ticular project for 1967 will be, the University Women's Club of Oshawa and District is already deeply engaged in its centennial contribution. The club has announced that it will assist the Oshawa His- torical Society in the restora- tion of the Robinson House at Oshawa Harbor. The old house had been with demolition many times but finally the His- torical Society was able to take possession after negotiations with city council and the long road to restoration began. Lack of funds has been a delaying factor but prospects are bright- er with the announced intention = of help from the University | Women's Club. = OLDER THAN HENRY HOUSE McLean, Pickering; Mrs. A. M. Dixon, Oshawa, and Mrs. H. D. Moyer, Whitby. --Oshawa Times Photos 'Art and Its Evolutions' Applied To Music In ORMTA Discussion "Art and Its Evolution" was presented in an interest- ing way by Miss Catherine Christie to the Oshawa and District branch of the Regis- tered Music Teachers' Associa- tion at its meeting held recent- ly in the home of Mrs. J. E. Jackson, Port Perry. Miss Christie, a graduate of Vassar, was born in Toronto and lived in Baltimore until a few years ago when she return- ed with her father and mother, Dr. Graham Christie, and Mrs. Christie, to the old family home. Dr. Christie, outstanding au- thority and lecturer in engi-| neering at the John Hopkins} University, died shortly after) and Mrs. Christie, a gifted art- ist, returned to Baltimore. Catherine chose to remain in the old home, built in 1845 and occupied by three generations of Christies and which she has} been furnishing with loving care in old Canadiana. . Miss Christie said that' sight was more important than sound to the majority, and the early purpose of art was to reflect society and record the history} of the time. The artist was a| slave to nature, terribly aware' | tic; of painting as it looked, it had to record the scene. When printing was invented art was used for pictures and illustra- tions, then came the camera. "Who needed the artist after that? The artist was now left to design, concentrating on creating. The evolution was very gradual," she continued. Miss Christie parallels art with music, design with sounds and silences. Art, substance and lack of it, creates with masses of color; music, mel- ody; art, line; music, volume; art, intensity; pitch, color; tone, texture; rhythm, pattern; theme, center of interest; and notes, brushes. With the use of paintings of renowned artists she described the evolution from realistic; neo-Roman cul- ture; classical; romantic; exo- idyllic; sentimental; real- ist, any subject matter that ap- pealed to the artist as good. Impressionism -- light, at- mosphere; extortionism, ex- pressionism, free composition, surrealism, psychic to disturb, cubism, futurism, machine age, and the influence of mod- ern art in everyday things, containers, bottles and others.

Two talented young musi- cians, Dianne Hall and James Holton, gave pleasure to all with their singing of "Love Divine" by Stainer and Jerome Kern's 'You are Love," ac- companied by Mrs. Marie Tay- lor. Mrs, Albert Wallace ex- pressed the gratitude of the teachers to Miss Christie, Miss Hall and Mr. Holton. Mrs. Jan Drygala presided over the business and an- nounced the next meeting would be held in the home of Mrs. Paul Edmundson on No- vember 30. A buffet supper, prepared by the Port Perry teachers, was enjoyed. HOUSEHOLD HINT Robinson House was built in 1846, three years before the Henry House, by John Robinson himself after his own plans. Like all old houses it suffered a gradual deterioration and fell into disuse after the war years. Since then it has become quite dilapidated. Why restore such a place? The Historical Society has been expertly advised by a con- sulting architect, Paul Sears, specialist in ancient buildings, who says that Robinson House has a unique feature in its three storeys. Only one other of its period and kind exists in On- tario, that he knows, and that one is at Upper Canada Village. Restored as a Sea Captain's Inn, he feels that Robinson House could attract thousands every year. Also with Oshawa's lack of old Canadiana every- thing should be done to hang on to what there is for posterity. Chairman of the restoration committee, Mrs, G. D. Conant, explained that already Henry House is overcrowded. 'We have had offers of valuable an- tiques belonging to Oshawa course will begin January 10, 1967. Registrations should be made with Mrs, Mrs. H. D. Moyer, Whitby, with Mrs. A. M. Dixon, Oshawa, and Mrs. W. G. MacLean, Pick- ering, sold doll clothes jast fall and netted $50. They have al- ready embarked on the same} project this year. Every member of the club has ball point pens to sell with the imprint 'Education, Our Key to the Future'. At one dol- lar apiece, the pens are bring- ing in a good return. A trip was arranged to the Six Nations Reserve in Brant- ford in June in the spirit of the centenary. Lunch and transpor- tation was provided by the com- mittee at $5.00 per person. The full day's outing was a com- plete success and also showed a financial profit. Also, last year, Mrs. G. A. Rundle and Mrs. E. M. Culp started a project of bridge les- sons for members and_ their friends with the help of instruc- tor, Mrs. Marion Drew. The cost of a course of tuition was $10.00. After deducting costs, proceeds went into the fund. There has been an enthusiastic Tesponse to* this project and classes for this year are al- ready full. Last year's proceeds were about $70. CHINESE AUCTION At their annual pot luck sup- per the members held a Chinese auction and this in turn, swelled the coffers. The latest undertaking is the sale of boxes of hasty notes each with an engraying of the Sea Captain's Inn as it will ap- pear when renovated.

Your iron should be set at medium low heat or at the wool "'W" mark- ing. Place a dry-wool cloth (with- jout a rough texture), on top of the garment area to be pressed. When extra moisture is needed more than a steam evenly (that is, iron) a cotton cloth, dampened, may be placed over the wool cloth. Always press fabric with the grain, never on the bias, and avoid stretching the garment. Let steam do the heavy work! Keeping the weight of the iron in your hand, use a lower-and- lift motion as you glide it, never |bear down. Check the top press cloth to make sure the iron hasn't at- tained scorching heat, Avoid pressing wool totally dry. This is important! Plain weave fabrics are par- are being discussed so that in time, the University Women's Club will have a handsome sum for the benefit of the Historical Society and the citizens of Osh- awa now and in the future.

Unless well protected, twill and satin weaves, such as_ broadcloth, tend to develop a sheen along seam lines. With deep faced or crepe textured woollens, it is well to test a sample to ascer- tain if you have the right amount of heat and moisture for the fabric. Some sheer wool fabrics may have to be pressed at a lower temperature than the setting on the iron, Be sure to test the iron temperature and the effect of the amount of moisture on a scarf before touching your gar- ment. Too much moisture may alter the surface of wool crepe. For napped wools, have the press surface covered with wool so that the nap will adhere to it and be lifted as it is raised from the board. associations in order to learn about program and services in different Canadian YWCA's, Committee chairmen for the Holly Bazaar at Dr. Robert Thornton School are Mrs. John Goodwin, Mrs. E.
