Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta, Utah, Thurs., Nov. 27, 1952 Provo Audience Applauds Desert Sentinels at Church Benefit One characteristic of the chorus is its willingness to share its tal-ents. Of the nearly 70 appearances made by the group, a great many have been for church building ben-efits. The next appearance of the chorus will be at Elsinore, and a concert is scheduled in Spanish Fork the second week in Decem-ber. The Provo concert further es-tablished the Sentinels' place as one of Utahs' best loved musical organizations and it was easy to see, from their splendid perform-ance, why they were chosen to sing at such distinguished gather-ings as the National Federation of Music clubs festival and LDS Gen-eral conference. They are a real credit to the state and especially to the people of the farflung com-munities of West Millard. N. L. Christensen in the Provo Herald " The Desert Sentinels, noted male chorus from Millard county, won the hturts of local concert goers with a superb two-ho-program at the Provo Tab-ernacle Monday night. Warmly applauded by an ap-preciative audience, the Sentinels presented a varied repertoire ranging from classical numbers to music in the religious, humorous and popular categories. It was an audience's prrogram rather than an artist's. Tailored for the average listener, it in-cluded some of the works of the masters but was not on the long-hai- r side. Rather, it consisted, predominantly of num-bers the audience knew and liked with emphasis on spirited patriotic songs and religious se-lections sung reverently and beautifully. The Desert Sentinels, appearing in Provo under the auspices of the Manavu LDS ward building fund committe, were directed by their organizer, and founder, Ladd R. Cropper, seminary principal at Del-ta. It was the second time Mr. Cropper a one-tim- e member of the Cougar Quintet at Brigham Young University- - had brought the chorus to Provo for a concert, the first appearance having been two years ago in the Joseph Smith auditorium. The group is unique in that its members live in rural communities and come together to sing. Most members are from Hinckley and Delta, although many come from the smaller scattered communities, traveling as far as 20 and 30 miles to the weekly practices. The Sentinels were responsive to maestro Cropper's baton Monday night, and their vaices Wended to produce rich tonal qualities and superb harmony. As their master of ceremonies, Dana Pratt, commented at the start of the program, the Sent-inels stay together because "they love to sing." And their love for music was nt in their Monday night performance. In 'fact their warm, friendlyspirit was con-tagious and the audience seemed to catch the mood, whehter the music featured the bombastic pas-sages of "Your Land and My Land" the sweet reverent tones of'I Need Thee Every Hour," or the rythmi-cal, melodious measures of "Some Enchanted Evening." One of the highlights of the pro-gram was Mr. Cropper's two bass solos, "Tomasso Rotundo," and "Old Man River." The latter sung as an encore number, was dedicat-ed to the family of Dr. C. E. Hyatt, chairman of the Manavu LDS ward building committee. Mr. Cropper was one of four LDS missionaries in the Northern States mission who converted and baptized Dr. Hyatt and his family years ago. Another high spot on the pro-gram was the chorus' effective ren dition of the popular"Cool Water" with Eldon Soresnson, president of the chorus as soloist. The audience encored this number as it did two years ago in the Smith build-ing and the Sentinels obligingly repeated it. Specialty numbers included two selections by o double quartet con-sisting of Cluff Talbot, Jan Wright, Blaine Spendlove, Layton Bishop, Orlanda Hepworth, Evan Gardner, June Hinckley and Eldon Soren-son;an- d two numbers by the Delta Seminary girls trio consisting of Kaye Moody, Virginia Rose, and Bonnie Riding. The concert closed to a rousing climax with Mr. Cropper leading into the chorus theme, "Thy Sen-tinel Am I." Mrs. May G. Cropper, wife ai the conductor, accompanied the chorus at the piano. She has serv-ed as accompanist since the Sen-tinels were organized more than four years ago.

Project i Sold To Telluride Power Company Beaver Valley Electric Associa-tion, Inc., a "Rural Electrification" project just north of Beaver City, Utah, which was financed about 10 years ago by the Rural Elec-trification Administration has sold all of its assets, including ils en-tire electrical distribution system to Telluride Power Company, of Richfield, Utah, according to an announcement by LaVar Gale, the president of the and on November 17,1952, the power company took over the property and is now serving its former mem bera. Since ils inception, the project has been served by Beaver City, but due to substantial growth of its electric load, the City found it necessary to purchase power to supply the Co-o- p making the bus-iness unprofitable, and the service unsatisfactory. Also the applica-tion of the Company's standard nates to individual Co-o- p members will result in substantial savings in monthly bills. The Power Company has con-structed a new substation near the City limits which is connected to one of its main 44 KV trunk lines, thus insuring ample and continuous 'service. Negotiations for the purohase were concluded by the officials of Beaver City, Beaver Valley Electric Association, the Rural Electrification Admini-stration, and Telluride Power Com-pany.
