Northeast Citizens
Indorse Plan for $500
Teacher Pay Raise

The proposed bill to pay teachers
fiat $500 pay increase was Endorsed
by the Northeast Conference last
night.
The plea of Maj. Harvey G&Calla-
han, chief of police, for a force of
$500 men was approved by the con-
ference.
Conversion of the National Train
ing School for Boys into a veterans

considered as tourist camp.
Demands for smoke control appa-
ratus on steam engines and removal

actions were taken at the request of
Mrs. Alex L. Street, Brentwood Ter
race representative.
Three coming changes in the area
were voted by the conference.
Changed from commercial area to
a residential area were the triangle
bounded by Eighteenth and Taylor
streets and Taylor avenue NE. and
the easterly side of Michigan avenue
NE. near the District line. Plans
of changing the westerly side of
Montana and New York avenues
from first commercial area to a
second commercial area were OPP
posed.
An underground pass for trolleys
and buses on Pennsylvania avenue

the group. This underground pass
would relieve the traffic congestion
between motor cars and the buses
and trolleys.

THE present markers are hazard

Ezell Smith of Bridgeport, fine pianist, and Eddie Thomas, better known as Washboard Eddie, were among the celebrities of the evening.

His wife and mother, Mrs. Ethel Lynch, were also present.
 Thursday night all participants on the show competed in con- test to determine who would be featured at the Cheshire Country Club next Friday. Our own home boys Silas Gibson, better known as the ''Fat Man" and Morris Poindexter, were the lucky win ners. We all know Silas was a singer, but were very much sur orised to hear Morris sing "I'm in the Mood for Love" so well. Sure looks as if he should go places.

The dedication services for the Beulah Heights P e e a
 Church scheduled for Sunday July 18th at 3;3O will mark the end of a most successful cam- paign of improvement which be- gan back ' or 8 years ago under the direction of Elder L. T. Tol- bert, it's present minister.
 At that time the present struc- ture was little more than a de- crepit store and the consensus of opinion in the Admiral Street reighborhood was that it would soon pass into oblivion, as do so many run down buildings.
 But due to the energetic efforts and keen vision of it's El6er and the answering support of a loyal congregation an almost miracul- ous transformation has taken place on these heretofore dismal premises. The history of this transformation indicates graphic ally what can be accomplished thru astute leadership and one ness of purpose between leader and membership.
