(U.R) CIO International Woodworkers un ion members went out on strike against the Diamond Match Company plant at Albeni Falls near here Tuesday after nego tiations for a new contract broke down. Richard J. McBreen, a spokes man for the firm, said 316 men were affected. McBreen said the firm had of fered a iVz cent hourly pay boost for nearly all the em ployees at the Albeni Falls plant but that the union had in sisted on an offer "which could be accepted by all union members." The first international YMCA convention was held in Boston, June 7, 1854. 'Rhythm and Blues' Records Closing Curtain on Craze for Mambo Recordings New York 4J.R) It looks like curtains for the mambo. The big noise on Tin Pan Alley now is "rhythm and blues." Record companies are putting on night shifts to get out new "R & B" numbers. Teen-agers seem to be blowing their allow ances on them as fast as they hit the music stores. The rhythm and blues craze was on the road to becoming a boom long before two New Or leans disc jockeys decided to do it up brown by playing the same R & B tune over and over until they or their records wore out. "R & B disks sock pop mar ket," said a recent headline in tne show business newspaper Billboard. The sock, Billboard estimated, resulted in $15,000, 000 in record sales last year, when the rhythm and blues ma nia was just catching hold. Real Solid Beat A rhythm and blues record ing is one with a "real solid beat," as one Tin Pan.Alleyite put it. "The music tends to be loud and raucous but not neces sarily so." The lyrics don't mean much, if they make sense at all. They might consist of a single phrase repeated over and over, like a strange ritual chant. The record called "Shtiggy Boom" which the New Orleans disc jockeys hoped to immortal ize was recorded for Capitol by the "Nuggets," a group of Los Angeles vocalists who used to be public school janitors and first banded together as a "Cus todians Quartet." A typical passage, reprinted by permission of the Lero Music Co., copyright owners, goes like this: "I'm not unfair "It's either me or "Shtiggy Boom. ' 'There'll come a day "You'll want me back but "Shtiggy Boom." Meant Anything "Shtiggy Boom," according to Los Angeles disc jockey Al Jar vis, . who wrote the tune, is a popular expression among West Coast teenagers. It can mean al most anything you want it to, depending on how you say it. The word, of course, has quite a different meaning from "Sh Boom," one of the earlier rhythm and blues successes, or "Oop Shoop," another favorite. Four of the top ten tunes on best-selliirg record lists today "Hearts of Stone," "Sincerely," "Kokomo," and "Earth Angel" are rhythm and blues rendi tions. Big record companies and their top vocalists climbed on the R & B bandwagon after it was put in motion by some smaller independent disc-makers who began supplying a limited group of fans, especially in Har lem, a year or two ago. At Capitol Records a spokes man said rhythm and blues rec- Thursiay, February 17. 1933 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNEJTV8 World's Tallest Armored Building To Be Open Soon Buenos Aires (U.R) The Atlas Building, tallest structure in Latin America and the tallest armored concrete struc ture in the world, will be ready for use by mid-1955. Already the 40-story giant glistens white and has a finish ed appearance from even a short distance. Homeseekers are cla: moring for the right to occupy the 220 apartments consisting of a total of about 1,000 rooms. Two of the floors, containing two garages, with the capacity of ords are now outselling all oth ers. The kids are knocking them selves out over it," he said. 80 automobiles each, and service rooms, are built underground. There are nine apartments on every floor up to the 19th where the steeple-like structure be comes slenderer. On the top floor there are only three apart ments. There will be no air condi tioning above the second floor because South Americans get un easy when they cannot open their windows. Three huge tanks one on the ground floor, another on the 20th, and another, with a cap acity of 100,000 liters, at the top insure an ample supply of water. And a power station in the building steps up the el ectricity from the city lines to necessary amperage. There is also an emergency diesel power unit in case the city system fails. On the ground floor there will be a moving picture thea ter with a seating capacity for 700,. plus a bank and four shops facing Leandro M. Alem Boule vard which runs parallel to the River Plate. The top floor of the building , will become a tele; vision studio for Radio el Mun do, a privately owned network. Radio el Mundo will construct a television antenna on top of the studio. funimii1 !mminm Utf s Sod (KflDdDIlM The New Luscious 9 o 00 In ml Deliriously Smooth with Generous Chunks of Red Ripe Cherries For Your February Parties AT YOUR FOUNTAIN OR GROCER Y l7 GTR.IG , c w g jr n x fMJ II SpecoaD (DOear-Away Price-ISn 2, 0 can.
