Professor emeritus of engin- eering in Baltimore, Dr. Chris- tie was once consulting engin- eer for 18 major firms in Can- ada, Great Britain, Germany and the United States. Among the Canadian firms by which he was retained were Ontario Hydro and Calgary Power Ltd. Dr. (Christie was the first Canadian4trained engineer to receive the Lamme Gold Medal for Achievement in Engineer- ing from the American Society for Engineering Education. He was also the first winner of the George Westinghouse Gold Medal. Born at Port Perry, Dr. Christie was educated at the School of Practical Science, now part of the University of Tor- onto. He taught at Cornell Uni- consin before going to Johns Hopkins in 1914, where he re- mained until his retirement in 1948.

The only thing I'm worried about is that they may succeed. As any woman of real insight knows, it is the male of the family who is a slave to the family, who is frustrated, unful- filled and trapped. Let me quote fromi the article. In a survey, one housewife said, "A married woman has it made." Welcome to the barricades, Katz.

On behalf of the Port Perry Hockey Club, I would like to explain some of the many diffi- culties we encounter in the operation of this organization. A year ago, we asked for some financial as well as ac- tive assistance from parents who have boys participating in the hockey club. Unfortunate- ly very few responded to the plea. The operation of the organi- zation is not only a costly one, but also very time - consuming on the part of the few who take part actively. Although, we are only inter- ested in helping the young hoc- key players of Port Perry, we are being constantly criticized in the way we handle the opera- tion of the elub. It is here parents can be of some help by offering their as- sistance as coaches, managers, or come to the rink .and help their children get dressed in good time before the games start. During the last four years, we feel we have done a commen- dable job in providing ice time, uniforms, sponsors equipment, ete. However all this costs consid- erable time and money, and in order to have a successful sea- son more money must be pro- cured. To give you an idea how much money is involved in the opera- tion of the club here are a few examples: Ice time alone will cost about $1,600, referees $800.00. Last year the club spent about $500. on sticks, pucks and tape. O.M. H.A. registration fee $200. and insurance $150.00. After due consideration the executive has come to the con- clusion that parents must - shoulder some of the cost of the | PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1964 -- 13 GREENBANK NEWS Our Fall Anniversary will be held next Sunday, Nov. 1st with Rev.

In the evening, the film, "Journey Into Darkness", telling of the primi- tive conditions under which people live in certain parts of Africa, was shown. The com- ments mostly heard concerning the film, was that it was ama- zing that people still lived in such circumstances in this twen- tieth Century. Down in the Sunday School rooms booths had been set up to portray the work of the United Church of Canada at Home and Overseas, and many who could not get in after the morning service came during the after- noon and before the evening service to view the displays.

Remember When? (Continued from page 4) TEN YEARS AGO October 21st, 1954 HURRICANE HAZEL brings widespread damage. Residents of this community are very grateful that they suffered so little damage as compared to the Humber Valley Area. For one thing we missed the tor- rential rains which caused floods and havoc in that disas- ter area. However, our 26-year old Band Stand collapsed at the lakefront, and huge trees brought down and uprooted by the high winds damaged many rooftops.
