Gavin Wilson In 1960 Hare View Of Canada Seen In New Helicopter Film OTTAWA (CP) -- Eugene (Jeep) Boyko spent 540 hours in the air, nearly lost an eye, had his "fingers frozen and was scared out of his wits several times. oa But the results appeared worth it as Helicopter Canada, a 50-minute, wide-screen color film, was shown here in the French and English versions. It is a humrous and breath- taking look at the country as seen from a helicopter through a panavision lens. The ability of the chopper to roll with the Bluenose II and hover yards above the lip of Niagara Falls left the audience here reeling. Music Exams To Be Held Ralph . Elsaesser. and Mrs. Dorothy Park, will conduct ex- aminations for the Royal Con- servatory of Music in Oshawa early this year. Mr. Elsaesser will examine fn Oshawa Jan. 30 to Feb. 2 and Mrs. Park will conduct exam- inations, Feb. 3. After Swiss and New York formal education, Mr. Elsaes- ser won critical acclaim for his all - Bach recitals while Mrs. Park, a Canadian soloist and teacher, has been a leading soloist with the Toronto Sym- phony Orchestra and the Men- delssohn Choir. At least two first nighters re- tired midway through the film with what appeared to ushers to be bad cases of seasickness. Otherwise, the poiiticians, diplomats and bureaucrats in- vited to the Ottawa opening seemed to enjoy the film. Boyko, now doing a portrait on poverty in the country, spent 18 months on the $300,000 cen- tennial production. He was strapped behind a specially - mounted camera in the open door of an Alouette II, a French turbine helicopter rented at $190 an hour. The chopper nearly crashed twice in downdrafts, once when Boyko and the French pilot for- got themselves chasing a deer up an Alberta mountain, an- other time off Quebec City's Cape Diamond. In the process, however, a unique picture of Canada in its 100th year of Confederation was developed. The film was made for the National Film Board and the federal centennial commission and will be marketed interna- tionally as well as in Canada. The showing here marked the premiere of the French - lan- guage version, which lacks some of the wry touches in the English sound track. Both versions show a pros- pector drilling alone in the bush but in the English one he is singing O Canada. In French, he's just drilling. The amusing patter of chil- dren trying to figure out what the immense mud flats of the Bay of Fundy are is also de- leted from the French version. But the film is the same in both. One sequence over a bright expanse of snow shows a fur trapper moving along in a mo- torized snow sled, only to have his progress stymied by an oil pipeline. There's a snow-bound swim- ming pool in Montreal and a close-up of the unclad five-ton Golden Boy atop the Manitoba legislature. A shift of jaunty Cape Breton coal miners with pit lamps winking in the dusk descends into an undersea mine. There is a look at Quebec's giant Manicouagan power dam, whose reservoir will take seven years of rain to fill, the film says. The versatile helicopter wheels over the Alberta Bad- lands with an eagle and races up a mountain side behind a deer. It watches three French sail- ors pick up girls on the board- walk at Quebec City. Even his- tory has humor as it follows a gun drill at Old Fort Henry, erected on the St. Lawrence to repel expected American in- vaders more than a century ago. "They practised away back and the Americans never came," it says, watching the redcoats fire musket and can- non for tourists. "'So now they pretend to practise and the Americans pay to watch."

City. In the rtments, Bonnie Robert Burns, the farmer-poet of Scotland, would have been proud last night to see Scottish peak. About 400 Scots and tradition at its their friends gathered at the UAW hall, with all the Scottish tradi- tion they could muster, to cele- brate the 208th birthday of Robert Burns. An "address to the haggis'* by Andrew Rankin, a long- time member of the Oshawa branch of the St. Andrew's So- ciety 'was only one heart- rendering tribute to a man the Scots claim belongs to them. A Scot and a _ leader Burns, T. D.

John Ford, president, and Gordon Young carried the hag- gis to Mr. Rankin while Rob- ert Wilson piped a lively good old Scottish tune. SCOTTISH MUSIC To hear the Scottish music of Ed Brydia's orchestra and see Patricia Fulton's Scottish dancers was enough to spark the guests to dance, which they did, enthusiastically. The 20th annual toast to the Immortal Memory of Robbie Burns, 'the passionate Scot Burns, a mirror of Scotland, portrays a patriotic love and leaves a heritage of love tales, difappointment, joy and sor- row in his immortal "songs." Members of the St. Andrew's Society have been holding Burns' Nights in Oshawa since 1948, one year after its found- ing by eight men. The first din- ner was attended by 65 mem- bers. "They had and still must be of Scot descent to become a member?' said Archibald (Archie) Taylor immediate past president and public reia- tions officer of the Society. Other qualifications that a club fee of $5 and $2 per annum. Regular meetings are held each month in the Pica- dilly Room of the Genosha hotel as has been the practice for the past 20 years. The non-profit organization now has a membership of about 170, many of which are direct- ly from Scotland. "About 5,000 people in Osh- awa are directly from the old country," said Mr. Taylor. "Many of them learn about the Society from city hall and pres- byterian churches when they come." BREATH OF SCOTLAND Some of the members wear their Scottish national dress at SCOT HEARTS BEAT WITH PRIDE the monthly get-togethers, the St. Andrew's Society also holds several stags and an annual ball. "A Breath of Scotland," a variety night show direct from Scotland, will appear at the Civic Auditorium in March under the sponsorship of the Society. John Syn, member of the Society, "toasted the lassies'"' and Christine Thomas, former mayor and alderman, replied on behalf of the ladies, Special guests at the dinner were: Michael Starr, MP for Ontario riding, and his wife; Albert Walker, MPP for Osh- awa, and his wife; and Mr. New las, BURNS WAS LOVER OF NATURE In Simplicity --Oshawa Times Photo poet," was made by * in history who was inspired to + the poet-farmer who saw truth!

TAKE YOUR BOY Today marks the opening of Minor Hockey Week in' Canada. Oshawa, like all other centres in Canada, is celebrating the week, with special attention focused on a night at the Civic Auditorium next Wednesday. It's a week set aside by the Canadian Amateur Hockey As- sociation to recognize the help of the volunteer hockey coach, manager, referee and official. It's a week with a 'slogan: "Don't send, Take your boy to the arena." Still referred to even today, particularly by the hundreds of former players who played their first organized hockey under this banner, the Oshawa "City League" was the actual beginning of what is today the flourishing and greatly expand- ed Oshawa Minor Hockey Asso- ciation. -- they now had their own arti- even been thought of -- was HAD NUCLEUS With the opening of the Osh- awa Arena, on January 9, 1930, Oshawa youngsters no longer had to rely on their open-air school rinks, or Saturday rent- als in Whitby and Bowmanville ficial ice and that same winter, the Oshawa "City League" was formed.

Today, a great many more men are required to organize and run the various clubs which come under the banner of the Oshawa Minor Hockey Associa- tion. President of the association for the 1966 - 67 season is Mur- ray Brant, who is ably assisted by a hard working executive, which includes vice-presidents Don Bowen, Elwood Bradley and Howard McLeod, past pres- ident Cliff Maddock and secre- tary-treasurer Harvey Beadle. A great deal of the work at the league level is handled by most coaches is finding ice on which to practice. All area facil- ities are used, with some clubs travelling as far as Little Brit- ain to hold practice sessions. Aside from the house league level, clubs representing the Oshawa Minor Hockey Associa- tion are to be found carrying the city's name to all sections of the province. All-star teams are selected at the start of the season from among the better players, and it is these teams which repre- sent the city in provincial play- offs and in most tournaments.
