top four-man singing groups of the local chapter of the Society for
the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Sing
ing in America, will be one of many quartets to appear in the

given here Saturday. Proceeds from the show, to be held in the

2nd Annual Harmony
Jamboree Saturday;
Many Quartets Due
The second annual "Harmony
Jamboree and Parade of Quar
tets," to be held here Saturday
at 8 p.m., will be one of the
largest such songfests in the state
this year, according to members
of the local Barbershop singing
organization which is sponsoring
the event.
Barbershop quartets from all
over the Pacific northwest have
Indicated they will attend the
event, which will be in the sen
ior high school auditorium.
Threatened Walkout
At Long Bell Averted
Longview (U.R) A threat
ened strike of 1500 employees of
the huge Long Bell lumber com
pany here wag averted Tuesday
by an eleventh-hour settlement
of a dispute over firing of an em
ployee Feb. 21. -.
The company agreed to rehire
the unionist after the CIO In
ternational Woodworkers o f
America contended his discharge
was "unfair," because it resulted
from personal differences with
another man. "
President J. M. White of Long
Bell, second largest industry in
the Longview-Kelso area, de
clined comment. .
The union had called a walk
out for 7 a.m. unless the contro
versy was settled.
Employer Inspection
Fees Due by April 1
Salem (U.R) Employers sub
ject to the factory inspection law
must pay annual fees before Ap
ril 1 to escape penalty payments,
the State Industrial Accident
commission reminded them Tues
day. Administration and enforce
ment of the factory inspection
law was transferred from the
State Bureau of Labor to the
State Industrial Accident com
mission by the 1951 legislature.
The law requires that fees
based on the number of em
ployees be paid to the commis
sion annually on Jan. 1 but a
three month grace period is al
lowed before employers are
penalized.
In Aztec days the capital of
Mexico Tenochtitlan was a
city of canals much like Venice,
the National Geographic Society
says. Yet it was situated where
Mexico City stands today, more
than 7,000 feet above sea level. '
All proceeds from the evening
will go for the purchase of med
ical and other supplies to be
carried by the two planes oper
ated by Mercy Flights, Inc., the
local non-profit air ambulance
service. These will include new
pillows, blankets and other nec
essary items for the comfort of
the firm's patients.
NW Champs Coming
The Pacific northwest cham
pion quartet, the "Uncalled
Four,' will be on the program,
sponsors reported today. In ad
dition to the northwest title, the
quartet . also took western di
vision honors, and is rated among
the top 15 quartets of the entire
nation.
Another expert singing group
to be here will be the "Rose City
Four," of Portland. This group
held the Pacific northwest cham
pionship for a time before the
"Uncalled Four" took honors
last year. -
Other quartets will be the
"Chords of Portland," the "Ore
gon Aires" of Brookings, widely
known throughout the state; the
"Four by Four" quartet from
Crescent City, Calif.; a new quar
tet the "Quar-Tones," from Red
ding; the "Postal Notes," from
Roseburg, dressed as Postmen
and a number of others.
50-Voice Chorus
The entire Brookings 50-voice
chorus will sing at the event
Saturday, and last year's master
of ceremonies. Bob Perkins,
Portland, will again be in charge
of the stage entertainment as
well as furnishing humorous
skits and pantomimes.
Four Medford quartets, as well
as others from Jackson county
and elsewhere, will participate
in the show.
Tickets are now on sale, and
members said they are going fast.
Th group expects another sell
out this year, and if sales go as
they are expected, the event may
be made into a two-day one next
year.
Tickets may be purchased from
members of the SPEBSQSA
chapter here, or from Barker's,
Men store, Purucker's Piano
house, or Pruitt's Music center.
All seats are reserved.

More Wear from Prints
Another springtime phenomenon prints.
The important thing to consider here is whether or not the print
is fast. If it is fugitive, you're in for trouble.
THE BEST PRECAUTION AND ONE THAT "WORKS" 100
OF THE TIME IS TO DEMAND A GUARANTEE FROM THE MER
CHANT THAT THE PRINT IN QUESTION IS COLOR FAST, IF HE
CANNOT ASSUREYOU, DONT BUY IT. ,
And that ends your trouble. You then buy a print which is color
fast, exercise reasonable precaution with it, and everybody's happy.
However, such sweetness and light do not always prevail in this
world. So here's a word of caution.
PRINTED JERSEY is on of the worst offenders In fugitive prints.
While not all printed jerseys are unserviceable, there are enough of them
on the market so you'd be wise to be cautious.
NYLON PRINT is often found which is unserviceable. Here again
perhaps the best recommendation we can make is that you demand
color fastness from your merchant.
UNCURED PRINTS. In general, the whole subject of prints could
be summarized under this one heading. Almost any printed fabric can
stand ordinary cleaning procedures with the exception of bleaching
and staining if . the dyes used have been properly "fixed". This
ordinarily means both curing the print for the prescribed length of time
at the right temperature, using the proper mordant or fixing agent.
Again, the best recommendation is: DEMAND PROPER GUARANTEE
FROM YOUR MERCHANT. If you don't get it, don't buy it.. There
are-enough good materials prints, too on the market which are fast
color. ; y-
