School.
McKinley's auditorium viii hold
nearly 1000 persons, and invitations
are now being distributed to fill all
the seats.
Because no concert is to be held
in the Southeast area owing to lack
Of adequate seating capacity at
Anacostia High School, the tickets
for next Monday are being so di-
yided that $50 will be available
through that school.
The remainder are being divided
among Mckinley and Eastern High
Schools, the Recreation Department
and the Information counter in the
lobby of The Star Building.
Distribution of The Star started
yesterday and will continue as long
as the supply lasts. The demand
has been so insistent that tickets
for past concerts have been quickly
taken up.

Every Youth Must Choose

\ s DANIEL chose to grow strong
A through temperate habits of
eating and drinking, so must every
youth choose between right living
and lustiul living. We have laws
against drunkenness, for example,
but legislation alone cannot produce
a generation of temperate young
men and women. Each boy and
each girl must choose for himself
and herself between temperance
and intcmperance.
And this lesson sets ont the
ways by which such choices can
be made and sustained. find a
helpful word in Corinthians 10;
81: "Whcther, therefore, ye eat
Or drink or whatsoever you do,
do all TO the glory of God"
As we make the choice between
drunkenness and sobriety, let us re-
member that we are choosing be-
tween God and Satan-between the
example of honorable parents and
the example of people who have des-
ecrated every sanctity. This lesson
is a call to right living.

disciplined Lives

w HIGH calls into mind a word
W that we have not always treat
ed fairly. I am thinking Of the word
"discipline." Too often we have
regarded this word as something
very austere, when, as a matter of
fact it IS one Of the really fine
words OF our language. 1t means
"onc taught" 1t is the word which,
with slight difference in spelling,
gives us "disciple."
The immediate followers OF
Jesus were called disciples. They
were young men, gathered up
from the everyday pursuits of life.
Most Of them were fishermen
men who faced hardships every
night as they confronted wind and
wave. And yet these rough and
tumble fishermen became "the
taught" ones OF Jesus. They yield
ed to his discipline. They were
pupils in The school OF Christ.
That is what this lesson is aiming
alto enlist many, many pupils III
the school of Christ.

CHILDREN PERISH

Mother OF Three Says AT

Alarm Unanswered -.

ELMSFORD, N. Y, April 7. -
W.R- Mrs. George Brown said she
was unable to get a telephone re.
Spouse when she attempted to re.
port a fire in her home at 10 min.
utes after the nationwide telephone
strike started.
Hell three children and their II.
year-old cousin, who were trapped
in a second story bedroom, perish
ed in the blaze.
The mother said that when she
was unable to reach the operator
she ran outside. A neighbor attract
ed by her screams reported the
fire by an alarm box.
Screens nailed into second floor
windows apparently barred the
children's escape by window. Mrs.
Brown attempted to remove a
screen from the outside but her
stepladder was too short to reach
the window.
Victims of the fire were the
Brown children, James, 3, George,
s, and Barbara, II, and their cous-
in, Margaret Mahoney.
A telephone spokesman said thai
normal service was being main
tanned by a supervisory staff at the
time.
The company also said another
neighbor of Mrs. Brown reported
the fire by telephone and said tha'
her call was promptly handled.

TEACHERS OF STATE
TO SEEK MORE PAY
WHEN l949 ROLLS in

RALEIGH, april 7-@ North
Carolina School teachers given SUBJ
stantial pay increases by the re-
Gently adjourned legislature, have
served notice they'll be back in
1949 for more money.
In one of the hottest fights of
the Assembly session, teachers
were granted emergency bonuses
of Sc $3.50, 900 for the remainder of
this fiscal year - through June -
and an appropriation of $102,4lS,-
430 was made to pay them during
the 1947-49 biennium.
The larger figure, Comptroller
Paul Reid of the State Board of
Education said, represented a 30
per cent over all increase, but
it was no: intended that sub-stand-
ard teachers should get as high a
boost as Grade A and G (Grad-
uate) tea cheers,
