Eugene Cleemen
Concert Planned
Men's Chorus Will Sing
at Silver ion on
March 5
SILVERTON The Eugene
Gleemen, civic male chorus of 70
voices- from Eugene, will present
a benefit concert in the new high
school auditorium March 5. Glenn
L. Briedwell, local chairman, said
Monday, that the services of this
chorus had been obtained as a
goodwill gesture of Eugene. Ex
penses Incident to the concert will
be taken care of by the Silverton
Rotary club, and all the proceeds
will go to the benefit of the school
piano fund and youth work in the
Silverton community.
The Gleemen were organized in
1926. They have sung in cities
from Victoria. BC, to San Francis
co. John Stark Evans, director of
the chorus, has won nation-wide
acclaim for his ability to weld a
group of business and professional
men into a musical unit whose
work compares favorably with
that of the professional choruses,
said Briedwell.
With many arrangements by
Evans, made especially for the
Gleemen, they sing numbers rang
ing from works of the old masters
to the modern ballads.

once she brought two summer
dance frocks, dotted dimities, one
with red dots, one with blue.
"Take them away and fight
over them, though I did think
of the red for Connie and the
blue for Linda's eyes. I braved
Xew York in all the heat to get
them for you and I think it was
very sweet of me all because
your father wants to show you
: off at the country club dance."
j Linda's heart turned over.
I She looked at the dress, the
j sort of dress she'd dreamed of
and in the last year given up the
hope of ever wearing, because
there was no place to wear It to.
She was terribly close to tears.
Practically, Constance said.
"What will we do for men?"
Linda looked up. In her excite
ment over the dress and a place
to wear it. she'd forgotten that
they would have to have boys
to dance with.
Mrs. Scott laughed. "Your
poor father, darling. Asking for
men! It'll break his heart! He
thinks you will be perfectly con
tent to go and dance with him,
and your grandfather, and such.
Don't tell him otherwise, for
heaven's sake, or he'll "
Constance laughed, too. She
and her mother never fooled each
other. It wasn't the way Linda
and her mother were. Linda
canght her breath and Constance
said. "Moms, you've got it all
planned out!"
"The McAllister boys." Mrs.
Scott said. "Harrison McAllister's
sons, here for the summer. You
must hare seen then at the club
or somewhere. Tall, dark kids.
Business Men

in an old cut-down car "
Constance looked at Linda.
Linda looked at Constance.
"Then you have seei them!"
"My godness, how could we
miss them? The only two new
men around these parts in 10
years!"
"Will they do?"
Again Constance looked at Lin
da and Linda looked at Con
stance. Constance took a long
breath. "They will do," she said.
