In Concert Wednesday,

Like her famous teacher, Marcella
Sembrich, Carolyn Urbanek, the gift
ed young lyric soprano who sings here
on Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock,
at High School Auditorium, has Pol

was born in the heart of New Eng
land, in Lowell, Massachusetts. One
&C SIX children, all with lovely voices,
Carolyn showed the most promise of
the Urbanek brood and was dedicated
to a musical career
One Of the youngest pupils to study
with Mime Sebrich, the distinguished

future for the belltoned soprano. Lat
err she went to New York where she
won scholarship at the Institute Of
Musical Art and studied under Made

at that, time with the Boston Anne
RIGA, wrote: Certainly she has one
of the finest young soprano voices I
at Concerts" AS a result of this re-
cital the Polish Society sent her on
a tour of the land of her fathers.
Thrilled at seeing the Poland of
which her parents had told her so
much, Carolyn not only visited all the
places of interest but sang in many
of Poland's historical churches, cath
edrals and other shrines.
Not only does Carolyn Urbanek
sing all the standard recital litera-
ture-songs in English, French, TIA

Message
SHARE 1T
BY REV. J. EVERETTE NEEsE

Jesus taught that if we have apv.
thing good we ought to share it. Tho
better it is the more we ought 70
share it with others. If the best thing
that has ever entered into my person
al experience is my knowledge of the
grace of our LORD Jesus Christ, then
there is no obligation that rests upon
me so pressingly as the obligation 70
share thi sknowledge with Others
who do not have it. To this obliga-
ton there are no geographical limits
If there is anyone anywhere whom
can help to bring to the knowledge of
God in Christ, He will not be salts
fled with me and I shall not be salts
fled with myself if I fail to use. TO
the utmost, my opportunity. 1 can
only fulfill this obligation by per-
sonal effort, by the giving of nv
means to make possible the effort Of
others, and above all by learning the
secret and following the practice Of
effectual prayer. And it is in sharing
with others that I come most fully to
know, for myself, the joy and blessed
ness of believing.

the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk
in 1908.
Mr.. Younts has named State chair
men in every one of the states of the
Union. and in North Carolina this
position is held lty Postmaster James
II. Mckenzie, o. Salisbury. Commit
tees in different localities will be form
ed to have charge of arrangements to-
the manv phases of the work.
Mr.. league said today that the OBJ
servance of Air Mail Week in North
Carolina last fall, a Statewide event.
attracted widespread use OF the all
mail from the Henderson post OFFICE
and said that a noticeable increase
in use of the air mail had been OBJ
served in the local office since that
sine.
The Post Office Department IS
hopeful that National Air Mail week
in May will similarly spur the use OF
this service throughout the nation.
