THORNQUIST REELECTED
PRESIDENT WRANGELL
MALE CHORUS FOR 1910

Mickey Shain was elected secre-
tary and Curly Thornquist re-
elected president of the Mems Chorus
at the first meeting of their third
season, held last Friday night in
the Elks Hall. Fifteen of the "a
members, who appeared in the group
this year, We're present to make
plans for the 1910 concert With
few exceptions, those absent at that
time will have returned to the fold
this week.
After the business meeting, the
president ran off 400 feet of en-
tightening film he had taken during
the year-the most enlightening
section being the candid shots of
the cleopatra" cast after the per-
Torrance.
Regular weekly rehearsals will be
resumed tonight at $50. However
Mrs. Coulter announces a slight
change in the part rehearsals for
the next few weeks. Having secured
the efficient assistance of Mrs
George Moran and Miss Helen John
son, all the sections will be able to
meet at the same time the same
evening. Until further notice the
first tenors will meet at the Moran
home at $50 Friday evening, the
baritones at the same time at the
Meadows home and the second tenor
and bass sections with Mrs. Coul-
ter at the Elks Hail. With last
years experience, the aim is more
and better music and this arrange
ment will save time both for the
director and the members.
Harold Maxi was enthusiastically
welcomed into the baritone section
last Friday and we expect to see
Howard Messenger, Robert Evans
and Jimmie Binkley with us tonight

DOWN OVERTURE
FOR NEW PEACE

BERLIN, Nov. 10 - Chancellor
Hitler has made known for the last
and final time the impossibility of
Germany aceeding to the peace over
lures offered by King Leopold and
Queen Wilhelmina The terms i'm
posed in Britain's answer to the
peace proposal of the two neutral
countries was given as Germany's
reason for refusal.
1T would be unthinkable for
Germany to have to surrender Aus
tria, Czechoslovakia and Poland at
ter having made such sacrifices to
obtain them" the Fuhrer said.
