For The SSnowii7Ian
Eyes bulging, the first Slwr-
pa to sets au Abominable Snow -
mart came raring down a Hima-
layan elope sere amus "Yetis
Yeti( Hes after ate!" Thus was
born the legend of that leerily,
half -human creature presumed
by some --- to spend his days
in dreary solitude on the icy
Himalayan. heights,
Does the Yeti actually exist -•-
end if so what does he look
like? Last month in London,
cu
,
the most famous of present-day
mountaineers, Everest - conquer-
ing Sit' Edmund Hillary, quietly
unveiled an ingenious new plan
for taking the Himalayan Yeti
out of the realm of tall tales
end into the realm of fact. With
Eleven other New Zealanders,
five Britons, and five Americans,
'Hillary plans to scale Mount
Makalu (27,790 feet) an the
Nepal -Tibet border, and try cap-
turing a Yeti alive,
Ilow will the climbers recog-
nize a Yeti when they see one?
The answers depend on what
explorer, or Sherpa, you talk to,
The scientific -minded will say
only that strange footprints have
indeed been found up there in
the snow.
As for descriptions• offered
plainly by the Sherpas, these
vary: The Yeti is 4 or 7 (though
never 9) feet tall, has reddish -
brown or camel -coloured hair,
End thrives on a diet of yaks,
people, or rhododendrons, which
grow wild in Yeti -land. Or, the
Yeti is really a bear, a monkey,
or a member of a secret order
of monks who like solitude and
long ago conditioned themselves
to live in sub -zero temperature::
without clothes, Uh, huh.
How will the expedition clutch
this creature no Westerner has
aver seen?
Starting next winter, Hillary
end Ms fellow mountaineers are
planning to string wires ankle -
high across the deserted glaciers
that corrugate the flanks of
Mount Makelu. Any unwary Ye-
ti who trips over a wire will
automatically trip a camera
ehutter and photograph himself
for posterity. Once Hillary's
scouts discover an exposed film,
they will instantly comb the
nearby wastes. Any poor Yeti
.sighted will be shot on the spot
-- with air guns firing syringes
that contain curare, a knockout
drug, A Yeti so "wounded" is
expected to lapse peacefully into
the Yeti dreamland, and Hillary's
team of scientists will study him
es he dozes.
Is Hillary organizing for an
expensive wild-goose chase? The
shock -haired, 41 -year-old knight,
financed by the Royal Geogra-
phical Society and other spon-
sors, thought definitely not.
"There is evidence available
of the existence of some creature
in the Himalayas," Sir Edmund
told a press conference last
arnonth. "I personally have no
doubt that the tracks reported
to have been seen do exist,"
Wau1d the expedition bring
back a Yeti alive?
"My personal inclination,"
paid Hillary guardedly, "would
be to let the creature go. T
think there is precious little in
+civilization to appeal to a Yeti
anyhow." — From NEWSWEEK.

THE PROMOTER - Steeplejack
Jerry Williams lakes time out
from painting a Columbia, Mo.,
flagpole to promote a "Yes"
vote in a wheal referendum.
Wheat growers would decide
July 21 whether they favor re-

duction, lower prices.
Those Barbershop
Quartets Flourish
It was barbershop night in
Dundalk, Md., and four members
of the local chapter of the
S.P,E.B,S.Q,S.A. (Society for the
Preservation and Encouragement
of Barber Shop Quartet Singing
In America) crowded close in
harmony. They were demon-
strating the fine art of "wood.
shedding" -- the ability to form
a well -blended quartet at the
drop of a single, pearly, pear-
shaped tone. As silver haired
Danny Cuthbert lifted his light
tenor in a few experimental
"m -m -In -m's," slender Jim Grant
and two other songbirds chimed
in.
To the 28,188 males (females
have an association of their own)
who are members of SPEB'g 688
chapters in the U.S. and Cana-
da, such impromptu close -har-
monizing is undulterated bliss.
The only thing that can beat it
is to belong to one of the 900
registered quartets who vie
among themselves to enter the
international competition at
SPEB's annual convention,
Twenty - three - year - old Jim
Grant, for example, is a mem-
ber of Dundalk's Oriole Four,
who were doing a final warmup
before leaving for Dallas last
week and SPEB's 22nd annual
harmonic holiday. Competing
against 39 other barbershop
groups, the Orioles, one of the
younger quartets, distinguished
themselves at Dallas by reach-
ing the semifinals before being
eliminated. (The winners: The
NOT WALKING ALONE - Dr. Barbara Moore, 56, of England,

Moore readied New York to complete a 3,250 -mile, 85 -day
coast-to-coast hike, The Russian -born vegetarian was forced
to ride the last six miles to the entrance of the Holland Tunnel
in New Jersey but said she would go back to cover the distance

Atlantic States top all other re-
