With him as conductor will be Guy Fraser Harrison, prominent Rochester, N.Y, musical figure. As soloist with the Toronto Philharmonic Orchestra in Tsch- aikowsky's famous B Flat Minor Piano Concerto, Rex Battle pays his second visit for 'this season to the Proms. An earlier appear- ance as conductor with singing award winner Lois Marshall and Abramo Carfagnini took place in une. Since coming to this country from England as a young man, Mr. Battle has acquired a wide- spread reputation for the ver: satility of his performances. For many\years he has been conduc tor for the CBC series "Singing Stars of Tomorrow," and his fre- quent appearances as a pianist on Canadian and American concert stages have attracted much fav- orable comment. Guy Fraser Harrison returns to the Prom Concerts for a second series of two engagements. Well known as the conductor of the Rochester Civic Orchestra, Mr. Harrison has been the originator in Rochester and Toronto of the "Battle of Music," a classical versus pops concert which has proved popular in both cities. His program on Sept. 7 consists of works of Gershwin and Tschal- kowsky. Among the selections are "Strike Up the Band" and pieces from "Oh Kay" and "Porgy and Bess" by Gershwin and the well known Tschaikowsky melodies "Andante Cantabile," "Sleeping Beauty Waltz" and "Marche Slav."

Don addressed his na- tion-wide Sunday morning aud- jence as usual, but was forced to make the unhappy admission that his material was the scant- fest on record. This column finds itself in similar circumstances _. in fact, it becomes for this week a Burlington column, as the Burlington Gazette, due to a special delivery arrangement undertaken on its own, was fl only district sheet to reach this office. Citizens of that nelghboring town were shocked last week to learn of the death of Edgar Ait- chison, well known business man and member of the Burlington volunteer fire brigade, who suf- fered fatal injuries while en route to a fire during the lafe evening hours. The light delivery truck Mr. Aitchison was driving crash- ed into a stone post while mak- ing a turn, tossing him through the windshield. He died shortly after in hospital in Hamilton. The fire to which he was rushing completely destroyed the sum- mer residence of town councillor Sam Ferguson. Revision of assessment figures by county council meant a re- duction for Burlington of $8,260, council learned. The reyision of figures showed the town will provide a tax dollar payment of $31,080, or 12.37 county total. The Gazette also reports Halton and Peel Guernsey Club met last Friday evening at the farm of M. T. McNabb and Sons, Esquesing, to hear N. J. Thomas, popular soil and crop specialist, present an illustrated lecture. Wheat growers of the area are unhappy over the fact that about 60 percent of the crop contains too much stinking or ball smut, the paper also reports, quoting the case of one grower who was forced to dispose of his entire crop for feed at a price of $1.40 per bushel. In spite of the fact that a build- ing program was undertaken by Nelson township school area board during the past year, rate payers learned last week that a rate reduction from 19.9 mills to 11.9 mills will go into effect. Frank Shepherd, of Burlington, was 'named president of the clan during the annual Shepherd fam- ily reunion held Mohawk Park, in Brantford. at lof Mr. percent of the that.
