The yuuiiRer Keneiu tion does not alarm him. He has an average interest in matters which do not directly affect his home or his business. Inlentcd In I'oll tics A party man in national politics, he is independent on local iwues. His altitude on prohibitum is non committal because he believe neither wets nor drys are Riving him accurate information on the Jnhuo. He is a ineniter of the cham ber of commerce, the Kotary club, the Klks and the odd Kelluws. ".Most of all." he says. "I am interested in my home. And next cullies my business because my home dejicnils upon it." He likes to read the current mag azines belter than anything else, but reads the advertisements first because "they keep me in touch with the latest developments," ItciltN KlMMfllCsS In the newspapers he reads with j Interest about new inventions, then i about great disasters or unusual eiimes. Foreign news has no appeal for him, but the speeches of the president or of the governor of Iowa he will read from beginning to end. The choice of Mr. Cray to wear the title bestowed upon him end ed a nation wide search in which Mr. Dutton used u man. n weather ichart and the cenus report, divid ing the number of cities and towns in the country into its population to find that Fort Madison was the average town in population, loca tion and climate. Once Fort Madison was selected. Itscitizens were usited to choose ; from among themselves who best represented the average. The citv ' found that "there is a Utile bit of ail of u.ln Roy L. Cray." QfcsW'llj'jMllpglllllll 111 COLONIAL Sfry, for its hospitality as a convention city. Other things could be mentioned. In the years to come we imagine it will Ijrain wide fame as a hotel city and as the home of Eastern! 'Oregon's state normal school. All of which helps to attract1 ' i'ii,. people and investments since communities grow in propor tion to the favorable attention they attract and the unusual things they have to offer. Not the least aiming the things that have contributed to La Grande's fame in the past and that have contributed great-! ly to La Grande's enjoyment, is the male quartet originally ( sixinsored by the Chembcr of Commerce. For many years ( the quartet, made up by Messrs. Stoddard, Williams, liirnie and Dutton, with Mrs. Birnie as accompanist, g;rve gener ously of its talent to the people of this community. Now, since Mr. Dutton's removal to Portland hist spring, it is broken up. j i Yestsi'day, wheu.,the "tyip tenor" returned for a day's, 'visit, the quartet was re-united to the delight of those at-' tending -the meetings of the Chamber of Commerce' and j the Rotary club, and the loss to the community of this fine! musical organization was emphasized anew as they sang1 many old favorites as only the La Grande.' quartet can' sing them. ' , j Few people appreciate how much publicity.Uie quailet gave this city. It sang in Yakima and at Bellmgham fori ' the conventions of the Pacific Coast Realtors was directly; 'responsible for bringing that convention here last year. They sang at the Tacoma district conference of Rotary clubs, at, every convention and meeting of any prominence held in La Grande in recent years. Hundreds, even thousands of peo-j pie throughout the Northwest know La Grande through the' beautifully harmonized voices ofhese four men. I j To maintain such a quartet and such a reputation is notj 'an easy thing. Many hours of .practice and many hours of .memorizing were necessary. The time required for prepara tion and for singing for scores of different .occasions must have been tremendous. Certainly "it represented a great sac rifice for four men whose time was already much in demand j because of other community activities and their private busi-j ness affairs. There was no compensation except Vhe knowl- edge that they were contributing to the enjoyment and h;?ppi- ness of their fellow-citizens and visitors.
