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- stricting supply in return for support prices or unlimited pro- 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, listens to composer Joseph Alderman sing his song, "I Keep Walking Along," at Bordenlown, N.J. Later in the day, Dr. 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 ern foot.

The Orioles and Dundalk lie in the fiercest hotbed of barber- nhopping in the U,S. The Middle Atlantic States top all other re- gional areas with 3,632 members in 72 chapters.
