PAGE TEN T~ CANADIA~f S'VATESMAIi. EOWMANVILLE. ONTAMO THURSDAY, m. 22n& 1951 i Oshawa's ""Barber Shoppers"" Score Big Rit in ]Programme ai D.T.S. Long recognized as a medium for comradery and peilonal plea- sure, there is something about four-part harmony that enables barber shop singing f0 permeate a listener's mind and blend a col- lection of idle thoughts into a rhythmic sense of enjoyment. Such was the atmosphere in- spired by Oshawa "Barber Shop- pers" in the auditorium of the Ontario Training School for Boys on Feb. 13, when they staged an ,harmoniaus two-hour show before appraximately 150 boys and some 30 guests. The 40 songsters who appeared equaliy accomplished in chorus or quartet, are chapter members of an organization with the impressive, if elongated titie of, "The Society for the Preser- vation and Extension of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in North America." From the reception given Osh- awa "Barber Shoppens," it would appear tbey '"sold" their appre- ciative audience an four-part- harmnony. Garbed in fancy vests -somne plaid, some colored, some plain-and startiing bow tics- onc of which had a humorous habit of lighting up until the bat- tcry burned out-the shirt-sleev- ied chorus opened the program with "The Old Sangs," the tried and true melody usuaily associ- ated with Barber Shop Quartets. One Barber Belongs The Oshawa Barber Shappens are "Just a bunch of guys who work bard ail day but like ta get together once in a while for fun," according ta chapter presi- dent Jack Snyder. He also in- formed the audience that there was only one barber amang the 65 members of the "Barber Shop- pers." Presenting a bnief history of Barber Shop singing, president Snyder barkened back to the ibe- ginning of the 2Oth century wben radios were stili in a mental incu- bating stage and barber sbops were considered social centres where stories wene swappcd with an occasionai item of news and hanmony was achieved as a means of relaxation. Because barber shops did not boast pianos, a par- ticulan type of singing. which lat- er pnaved peculiar ta barber sbap quartets, had ta be devcloped.

About 12 years ago, however, an Ameri- can gentleman, sorrowing over the slow death of barber shop singing, criginated an organiza- tion in an effort to preserve and extend that particular type of singing. The S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A.. although born just over a decade ago, boasts over 50,000 members today and is similar to a service club in activity. "You and I have a responsibility to Our community," Mr. Snyder said "and Barber Shoppers rec- ognize their responsibility, too, so you find thern singing for old folks and those who cannot get out of doors. They even donate a little money on occasion," he added. In his opinion, there is nothing better in this world that will help you get along with the fellow ïbeside you than a song. "When things are tough," he ad- vised B.T.S. boys, "try humming a song. It will make all the dif- ference in the world." M. C. Proves Excellent Lance Pugh, although reputed- Iy a novice Master of Ceremonies, handled the evening's entertain- ment in professional style, even going so far as to organize a bar- ber shop quartet of B.T.S. boys which, in popular competition, easily out-voiced four members of the Oshawa organization who masqueraded under the name of "The Horrible Four.'l The Oshawa chorus, reputedly one of the best in Ontario, open- ed the program with "Tell Me Why" under the direction of Charles Murray and rendered two additional numbers before giving way to, the "Dulci-Tones," an org- anized quartet made up of Bill Sampson, Doug Shute, Pat Mc- Adam and Lance Pugh. "Mood Indigo*' was their opening num- ber followed by a couple of old 1favorites. Unfortunately, a com- ic quartet called "The Suffocatin' Serenaders" was not able to -bc present at the Training School. "The Quar-Tones," composed of Charles Murray, George Moss, Tom Hart and Harold Stephen, were quite effective in their de- livery and received extended ap- plause when they finished a song dealing with "a guy who said goodbye to a girl ai Coney Isl- and." Stan Hudson and Clarence Burgess with banjo and mando- lin offered the only instrument musical presentation of the ev- ening. Hello Homemakers! For variety 1 oiled baking dish.

Horn, secretary-trea- surer of the Hampton United Church Cemetery Board from its origination in 1928 until Dec. 31, 1950, is well qualified to write the article appearing below. In accepting Mr. Horn's resig- nation from his secretarial duties, the Trustee Board of Hampton United Church forwarded a letter of profound thanks which reads, in part: "We cannot permit you to relinquish the office you have filled so efficiently and diligently without a sincere expression of our appreciation for all you have done in the interest of our ceme- tery. The credit for raising the ,necessary funds, and the discreet expenditure and investment of the same is due to you more thari any other individual.-(Signed) M. L. Clemens, Secretary, Trustee Board." Mr. Horn's Article "A well kept cemetery indicates respect for those who have gone before," according to the Windsor Star, "and an unkept graveyard indicates unkept minds of today." There have been, and still are, many of the latter kind of ceme- teries throughout the province of Ontario, yet the Provincial Gov- ernment has tried, for many years, to stir up people in an effort to assure better care. Even as far back as 1928 and 1929, Hampton United Church decided at a Trus- tee Board meeting that their cemetery required a great deal of work and necessitated better man- agement if it were to be made attractive. After suitable notification, a meeting of lot owners, trustees and other interested persons was held, and they proved in full ac- cord with a plan to organize a Cemetery Board of five members, three to be chosen by the church trustees, and two by lot owners in separate meeting. Appoint First Chairmau Chas. Hastings was appointed Chairman of the first Board, and W. W. Horn, Secretary-Treastirer. Mr. Horn held this particular position until Dec. 31, 1950, when lie tendered his resignation in order to make way for a younger man. The new Board despatched let- ters to lot owners and their friends, many ol whom lived far away from Hampton. and the ap- peal mustered a considerable sum of money to be used in resurfac- ng and making general improve- ments. Most of this mrork was done at a very low cost, indeed, miuch was done free of charge by ýthose whose interests were there. ', 1 ..........

Last year, the estate of Mr. Absalom Abrahams erected fine new fences for the balance of the cemetery in accordance with his will. Many more improvements could well be made, but today, very little can be done without dollars. It becomes a very natural hope therefore, that frienqs near and far will give consideration to our problem and offer assistance even if only by suggestion.

Delivers Brief Address At one point in the prograrn Magistrate Frank S. Ebbs of Oshawa delivered a brief message to the young Training School au- dience. He stressed the equality of opportunity in Canada and said, "You boys will be our fu- ture salesmen, our educators, our churchmen, and our legislators, our generals and our scientists." He suggested if they cared for the future they should govern them- selves accordingly today. 'ITo- morrow depends uPon your con- duct today," he said. He was of the opinion that Training School boys would have opportunity and would prove capable of conduct- ing "Our schools and courts, our factories and Our government." Following a sing-song led by Lance Pugh, the Oshawa "Barber Shoppers" chorus returned to the stage for their elosing number. But the end of the prograin did not stop impromptu singing.

The earnings today on safely invested funds-i.e.: Ontario Publie Trustee, 3 per cent -is, very small when considering rising costs. Indeed, getting graves dug in rural areas in winter is becoming very difficult. Municipally operated cemeter- ies, in many cases, get help from general taxes, or from a special tax levy.
