-Four Of the top high school basket
ball teams Of the washington area,
Coolidge, Bethesda, st. Johns and
Eastern, will battle tonight at
Ritchie Coliseum for places In to-
morrow nights title game in The
Evening Stars 18th annual Metro
politan invitation tournament. Sur
vivors of four first-round games.
they hit toward the home stretch in
two games starting at 7:30 O'Clock.
Coolidge, District public high
champion and defending Metro
titlist, takes ON Bethesda, Mont
gomery County champ. at 7:30, after
which st. Johns, best among Cath
Ole High teams in this section,
tangles with Eastern, the D. G.
public high rtlnnerup. The Colts are
slight favorites over the Barons, but
st. Johns Is given no better than an
even chance to repeat an earlier
APPOINT win over the Ramblers.
WI. and Bethesda Girls Win.
Tho lineup for the girls final to-
morrow night, prelim to the boys
final, already Is complete. It's q
repeat between Washington-Lee, de-
Tending champion, and Bethesda.
The Generalettes edged Richard
Montgomery Of Rockville, 33-29,
while the Baronettes defeated
Friends. 36-16, in last nights femi-
nine semifinals.
OF the boys teams playing to-
night, all except Bethesda represent
former winners in Star tournaments.
The Barons, though, have been
|rmnersup four times. Coolidge won
last year; Eastern has taken five
previous Metro titles, the last In
1914, and st. Johns was on top In
1888.
Also attracting attention tonight
will be tho competition for indi-
vidual honors. The Charles Hart
Memorial Trophy goes to tho OUT
standing boy player, and all four
Of tonight's teams have several
candidates. John Brown Of Eastern,
Jack George and Brad Pusey Of st.

and Dick Taylor and Stan King Of
Coolidge are Just a few Of the lads
who have distinguished themselves
already. The player to receive the
Hart Trophy is to be selected by
sports writer's covering the tourney.
Put on Real Show.
The girls put on . real show last
night, particularly In that first
game when the Rockville lassies
threatened for awhile to put Wash
ington and Lees defending cham
pions out Of the tourney right at
the start. The Generalettes finally
came home as winners, but only
after the closest game they've had
while remaining undefeated this
year. It was their ninth straight
win.
Never moro than a few points
separated them. After Rockville
gained q 1913 halftirne advantage,
the defending champions moved in
front in the third quarter OF two
goals by Louise CARRIER, and man

NEWS FROM PHOENIX

(In a letter to Carl HUH,
Deacon S. H. DePew writes):
We are all shocked here by
the sad news of Mrs. Brune's
and Edgar Brooks sudden
passing; we feel deeply be-
reaved. I have known Conrad
Bruno from the early days in
Chicago. Tebbe, he and were
more or less pals.
Well, we have our chapel
plastered now, and the new
lights installed, just in time
for the Vacation Bible School.
Incidentally the school is TAX
ing us a little by surprise. The
first day 81 Riddles came, and
next there were II, and by
Wednesday there were over
80, so the facilities are being
taxed to the limit as to teach
ers and equipment.
These reports about the Pas
sion Play certainly stir me up
and you just cannot imagine
how l miss not being there. In
fact, I don't dare think about
it too much. I never took part
in anything that I appreciated
as much as | did that and there
are others here who feel SINH
larly.
I have been busy making
some blackboards, benches,
easels, etc., for the children of
the Bible School, which are
badly needed just at this time.
Elder Leland Barton has his
hands full this week and next
with this surprising influx of
Sunny Slope children. The
weather is fine, not too hot,
so we are enjoying it very
much, but | wish we might
have some of your excessive
moisture. Indeed the water sit
uation here is becoming cri-
teal and we may suffer yet be-
fore the rainy season sets in.
It is due in July and August,
but it did not materialize last
year as usual so we find the
mountain reservoirs, on which
we depend for irrigation pur-
poses, very low. I have very
fine garden and so far have
had adequate water.
I surely would enjoy meet
ing with the Zion Guard again
and perhaps I will this fall
when we are planning visit
in the Home Land, about the
time of our golden wedding
Anniversary.
Our minds and hearts are
with you all in the activities
at headquarters. While we
miss it all so much, we look
to the future that holds so
much for us, and pray that we
all may be used effectually un-
til the Rapture.

AN INTERESTING LETTER

(The following are excerpts
from a letter recently. receiv-
ed by Deaconess Rosa Peetz
from Ida M. Davis, who will
best be remembered as the
wife of the late Carl F. Stern,
aide to John Alexander
Dowie.)
Dear "Aunt Rosa"
On April IA, 1947, made
a trip to Phoenix, Arizona, for
a few days vacation from my
court duties in the Los Angeles
Superior Courts. Sylvester H.
DePew, his wife, and some Of
the members of his family now
live there, as you know. You
probably also know that Syl-
vester was with me when Carl
F. Stern passed away in Miami,
Florida, on January %, 1905.
I had not seen him during all
of these forty--two years, al
though some correspondence
has passed between us. He was
zone of my boys" as Carl often
used to refer to him. Carl had
a special piece of jewelry-a
watch charm of pure gold, en-
ameled with the Zion emblem
in blue, with 'J.A.D." initial
ed on one side, and on the re-
verse side, From Zion Guard
to C. F. Stern, Colonel of the
Guard" or something similar
to that. I kept this jewelry all
these years to see if Sylvester
would remain faithful to the
cause (Which he has), so that
some day when I would see
him I could present the charm
to him. My trip to Phoenix was
the occasion, and I thought
that he would cherish such a
''jewel" and that he should
have it ''now."
| found him and Mrs. De-
Pew at the depot when | ar
rived at $3.50 p. m. on the
Southern Pacific ''Golden
State Limited" We arrived
soon thereafter at the DePews'
charming home on East Mon
teresa Street. The next day
was taken up with talks of old
en- times. We had, and still
have, much in common, be-
cause the Zion teachings are
deeply imbedded in my heart.
The next day, Tuesday,
April Is, 1947, there was a

really pay a lengthy visit to
Zion-my old home town.
