Meetings are held every other Monday evening in the Rosedale Gardens Club House. National. Secretary of the or- ganization is Carroll P. Adams, who was born in Plymouth many years ago. The organization is distinctly for fun, and for elimination of the cares of the day, where men may go and give forth in song to their heart's content. The organization has no by- laws, but it does have a code of ethics in which the members promise to venerate barber shop quartet singing, to recognize the inalienable right of men to lift themselves, the burdens of the day and to solicit for member- ship all men who possess an in- herent love of harmony and for a desire to harmonize. One great editorial writer de- clared that although Americans have searched for a hundred years for music that is typically American, they have forgotten " that one of the truly American types of music is the old time barber shop quartet, which passed out of existence with the safety razor and hair -bobs for women. 0 Play Proceeds Go To U.S.O.

Try Livonian Want Ads. "IT'S TOUGH NOT t0 KNOW" IN MICHIGAN, a thousand miles away, his young wife is in the hos- pital. Ever since he got excused from drill he's been waiting by the public telephone —waiting to get a call through to the doctor — hoping to hear him say, "It's a boy, and they're both doing fine I" But the wires are crowded with calls that move armies and speed war production, calls from service men to the folks back home — and many civilian social calls. So—patiently he waits. Waits and looks at his watch with a lump in his throat. And finally he'll have to go back to his barracks—to go to bed, but not to sleep. IF YOU want to do a good turn for soldiers and sailors, leave the long distance lines clear for their, calls in the evening between 7 and 10. That is usually the only time they can telephone. And if D"')S% you have a man of your own in the service, remem• ber it's better to let him call you. If you try to reach INVLSt IN Vlhim by long distance, he's often difficult to locate.'
