Show INDEPENDENT Sugar House, Utah Thursday. November 21. 1957 Page 3 . Quartets Earn Applause From Pleased Audience entertaining music imaginable. Their banter between numbers is equally listenable. Spokesman Jack grew serious and said the group wanted to sing an old pioneer favorite for the visiting barber - shoppers. He de-scribed in a sentence that it was typical of our pioneer ancestors, as they crossed the plains, and announced the title, "I Led Three Wives." In the Salt Lake Chapter of SPEBSQSA there are a number of Evans'. In addition to the three names, there is Clarence in the chorus, and Turk's son, Brad, a kilt to walk on with the Great Scots as "Sonny Boy." In this era of emphasis on fam-ily activities, the Evans are out-standing. In their case, it might be said, appropopos barbershop harmony, that "the family that The harmony of the SPEBSQSA, quartets last weekend was match-ed only by the harmony of the enthusiastic applause accorded the show. Presented at South High audi-torium, the Parade of Quartets gave all comers at least double their money's worth of entertain-ment. Both local men and import-ed talent were cut off by applause before they had the drawn - out notes of several of their numbers. The Great Scots, East Liver-pool, Ohio foursome, capitalized on a clever gimmick for their first entrance. Dressed in gold and white kilts, they marched so-berly onstage with the tradition-al "whang, wh-a-an- g, wha-a-a-a-an-g" of the bagpipe and in vocal harmony. They soon proved they didn't need such gimmicks, in their Scottish ballads and other num-bers, notably "Sonny Boy." The Salt Lake City Chapter of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America sponsored and masterminded the show. Their comedy quartet, the Tonichords, literally stopped the show. They presented well - co-ordinated skits to illustrate their songs. The group was so effect-ive in their pantomiming, it was sometimes hard to believe they could expend so much energy on physical antics, and still have breath left for harmony singing. The Sharpshooters from Whit-tie- r, California, performed with a polish that seemed almost unbe-lievable in amateurs. They were equally effective with serious and comedy songs. The True Tones, Salt Lake's 1955 Sweet Adeline Regional Champs, must have had an off night last Friday. Or perhaps it was because barbershop harmony seemed a bit incongruous coming from women. The show was stooped for a second time by the Haywire Or-chestra from California. Their country dance music had feet tap-ping all over the auditorium. They will be welcome to play in Salt Lake any time they choose to come back. The Salt Lake chapter chorus showed great versatility as they opened the parade with four num-bers. They switched from the stompin "Oceana Roll" to the meloncholy "Gee, But I'm Lone-some," and changed the mood of the audience by the end of that first phrase. Turk Evans directed the group. And that brings us to the Evans quartet, 1957 international semi-finalist- s. The local group Turk, Pres. Jack Evans and Gene Smith provide the liveliest, most shrunk wool. Be wary of woolen sales, when cheaper pieces are unloaded, and may not be pre--, shrunk for immediate sewing. One woman recently bought woolen j for a coat, and unwisely made it( up before she descovered it was( not pre-shrun- k. This was a tra-gic discovery to make. Soft to the touch, firm of body, good wools shape with ease and hold their shape. They have a springiness that shrugs off wrin-kles and stays crisp and trim, through days of active wear. Keith O'Brien's, J. C. Penney's, and Fashion Fabrics all in Sugar House offer a complete selection of fine woolen yardage of all types in their, yardage depart-ments, r FASHIONS by Vidawright In a current fashion magazine, there appears ten full pages de-dicated to the display of woolen clothes and featuring the impor-tance of the most versatile of all fibers wool. This seems timely for with the invention of many new synthetic materials there is considerable substitution of these for wool. To anyone who knows fabrics, however, wool can never be replaced. It has pliability, ele-gance and a warmth quality that no other fabric matches. In selecting wool garments look at the labels, and choose wisely, for there are cheaper qualities on the market, and some wools com-bined with wool are never as fine as one hundred per cent virgin wool. For home sewing, select your woolen yardage in good pieces. For time and eyesight that will be spent in making a garment is worth the best. Well-know- n brand names will be stamped on the sal-vage of good woolens, and they i hold to a guarantee of a good pre-- ses can be granted without in-creasing production costs or cur-tailing the amount available for other income payments." In other words, when wages go up faster than productivity, pro-duction costs rise and naturally prices go up to cover some of the increased production costs. Inflation of this type hurts some groups, however, while others whose wage payments increase faster than productivity gain an unfair advantage. The National Safety Council is waging a continuing "Back the Attack on Traffic Accidents" pro-gram in cooperation with all acci-dent - prevention groups in every state, Mr. Black advised. "One very tangible way in which every car and truck owner can help in this campaign is ac-cepting personal responsibility to see that his vehicle is kept in tip-top operating condition," he de-clared. "It is urgent that every motorist operate a safety vehicle in a safe manner." Calling attention to the special dangers confronting wintertime drivers, he concluded, "Now is the time .to get set for emergency weather conditions. Be sure you have a set of good tire chains in your trunk. Being stuck in cold weather on a highway covered with ice or snow is a lot more bothersome than a delay in nice warm weather. In addition to pro-ving a greater discomfort or dan-ger, such tie-u-ps due to lack of safety equipment in winter also pose added hazards to other mo-torists, who may be blocked or may become involved in skid ac-cidents in trying to maneuver ar-ound a stalled vehicle on slippery pavement." Pay Rise Is Exceeding Output Gain The sum a worker gets for an hour of labor is increasing more than twice as fast as the rate of his productivity during that hour, according to a study of U.S. gov-ernment statistics. Extent that wages are climbing ahead of output per hour has been charted from U.S. Department of Ass'n. of Manufacturers' statisti-cians. The NAM study appears admist current Capital Hill investigations as to the cause of rising prices. One of the important inquiry ques-tions is whether pay increases are exceeding productivity gains and forcing prices up. Covering the bulk of the U.S. economy, the governmental rep-ort studied by NAM shows the extent of the spread between pay and productivity gains. The condi-tion has hiked per-un- it labor costs and, many believe, is the main le-ver that is forcing prices up. The government v reported stat-ed, in part: " . . ."productivity is a crucial element in the wage - cost-pric- e relationship.
