Joseph Lautner, Director THE PHILHARMONIC CHOIR oh yes, he is really getting desperate. Whenever boys pass his studio door, he pulls them in and says, Sing Ah! . If they can carry a tune at all, he pronounces them man and — Oops! I mean he names them as new members of the renowned Jordan-Butler Philharmonic Choir. Talk about rapid changes now — each week more familiar faces are gone and, in some peculiar fash ion, new ones spring up in their places. Yes, that Papa of ours is quite a man!

Uncle Sam spotted him and decided to let him help the other male Philharmonicers defend our freedom. Well, you might know how dark our future was pictured without anv choir. After we stewed around about it for so long, it was decided that there was nothing we could do but Sing and Bear It if it were to be. We heard no more news for al-
