This jumble of let ters means “Society for the Pre vention and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing i n America”. The Klamath Falls chapter is comprised of more than 50 mem- bers of every walk of life. These mon all sing in the chorus and did a beautiful job on every num ber they sang in the show. The chapter meets there every week and has averaged more than 90 per cent attendance at all meet ings held. Twelve quartets appeared in the show and were from as far away as San Francisco and Seat tle. One quartet was comprised high school students from Port Angeles, Wash., another from the Pacific College at Newberg. This latter group were voted as one of the best by the Brookings at tendants. A movement is under way to organize a local chapter of SPEBSQSA and every man who likes to sing or listen is welcome to attend. The next meeting will be held Monday, April 18, at 8 at the basement of the Baptist Community church. Rabies Is Growing Menace, U. S. D.
