Despite the vast effectiveness OF
the work of the directors it re-
mained for the chorus to abandon
STYLED spirituals and give the song
recital it's popular character.
These singers glorified their spirit
usual by the sincerity with Whlch
they sang. Theirs was no mere
collection of notes and rests, but
an overwhelming expression OF
rapture. True, the singers shaped
their phrases beautifully, employed
MANY a nuisance of tempo, and
added with utmost skill the COM
plete aborption so necessary to the
externalzed spiritual stimulation
so that one thought their mechani-
cslly provoked outburst was over
flowing with range and depth.
Provoked outburst was overflow
Miss Campbell started the pro-
gram with Just A Closer Walk
With Thee" and brought the audi
ence to shouts with "We Will Get
Together. Continuing the pro-
gram she invoked a bit of her per-
sonality into the musical score by
singing a National Welcome
Chorus"
The singer OF the evening came
to the forefront. She was Miss
Georgia Lee, who brought back
the old revival flavor with her sin
ing of Something Within,
.Trampin'" which brought down
the house, and I'm The Glory
Land"
With the auditorium in a rel1-
gious uproar the chorus sang IN
That Great Getting UP Morning
Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel,
Wade In The Water" and "He Will
Remember Me-, with the singing
Georgia Lee in The Sons of the
South, a choral group from Tuske-
gee Institute wave an inspiring
rendition of Couldn't Hear No
body Pray"
The unforgettable "Inflammatus'
by the Composer Rossini, was a
highlight of the program, although
the general opinion of the audi
ence was that Mable Williams
might have used the chorus to a
better advantage with a spiritual
rather than the difficult classic.

SAFETY TALK
BY J. w. STROBE
Safety Coordination, Arizona
HiOhUav nenartmenfl

Highway DEPARTMENT.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE
SEEN, NOT HURT
Someone has paraphrased q
popular old maxim into the slo-
gan, Children should be seen, not
hurt
This is particularly timely now
that the season has arrived when
thousands of children of all ages
are trooping to school.
Most of the smaller tots will be
afoot. Some of the older ones will
be mounted on that bane of auto
mobile drivers, the bicycle.
Our children nowadays are re-
ceiving very valuable safety in
struction in the schools. This mas
been going on for many years, and
as a result children are more
safety minded than adults. Auto
mobile drivers will find as gen.
eral rule that school children are
observing the traffic rules. If the
drivers will exercise as much cau-
ton as the school children, there
will not be many accidents.
Two things can help to hold
down the number of accidents
among school children: One is for
parents and teachers to refresh
the minds of pupils on the ordinary
safety practices while they are
enroute to and from school. the
other is for antoists to bear in
mind that the unusual number OF
children on the streets presents an
extra hazard and to remember
tl,a modern SLOGAN
