If all goes well, the recording
mechanism is made ready, the
signal is given and the conductor
brings down his baton. The singer
and the orchestra do their best,
for even the slightest fault will be
apparent in the record, and there
is no way to correct it except by
making another record.
Many singers find recording
much more exhausting than sing
ing before audiences. Scenery,
lights, color, the sympathy of the
hearers are all lacking in the bare
room where the singer faces only
a microphone. All communications
between singer, conductor and Or
chestra must be by signs.

Boys Club Week

There is some complaint that we
are holding too many special weeks
In rebuttal it may be said that they
provide a vehicle for directing public
attention to undertakings and celebra-
tons that we'll deserve nationwide OBJ
%servance and that many would GO un-
heralded without the publicity willing
ly given them.
Such a one, for example, would be
Boys Clubs Week, scheduled for April
IA to 20 inclusive. The public at large
would learn little of the great achieve
ments Of the boys club movement in
America if the great organization that
has been so effective in the building
of character were denied newspaper
space and radio time during the week
marking it's anniversary.
Hats off to the Boys Clubs of Ameri-
ca and particularly to the Brigade Boys
Club of Wilmington, a member of the
national organization, which is doing
50 much for the youngsters of the city
who lack many of the advantages Of
their more fortunate fellows. This is
the contemporary counterpart of the
Bows Brigade which Colonel Walker
Taylor founded in the COS and which
numbers among it's alumni many OF the
city's most Influential and progressive
men, and which is receiving valuable
and constructive help from the Senior
FRATERNITY whose members, now doing
their part in the city's business and
professional life, all came up from the
Brigade ranks.
The Boys club movement, as such,
originated in New England some
seventy-five years ago. Since 1906
the clubs have been federated into a
national organization, with a present
membership of a full quarter million,
One result, notable in Wilmington as
throughout the country, is that there
Is very little delinquency among the
boys and because of the clubs own
kindly methods, Juvenile courts usual
ly leave such cases as come up to club
executives to deal with.
The reason for calling attention to
Boys Club Week so long in advance is
to urge the city's residents who have
not familiarized themselves with the
work of the Brigade to plan now to
visit the Armory, Second and Church
streets, sometime during it's progress
and see for themselves what the Ex-
ecutive Secretary, James Copeland, and
the Physical Director, Harold L. Cutler,
are doing to perpetuate the splendid
tradition established by Colonel Taylor
to provide the boys enrolled in it's
membership the advantages every
American boys is entitled to but so
many are denied.

Religion
DayByDay
CHURCH KITCHEN MARTHAS
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

In a certain church I have found
two great Christian orthodoxies-
a pulpit wherein the living Gospel
is preached, and a kitchen where
the best food is prepared for the
weekly church suppers.
This is not the place to write
about the great heresy of meagre,
inadequate and inferior meals
| served in a church in the name of
religion. l leave their perpetrators
to the recording angel!
This pen does not command fit
words for the praise of the devot-
| ed women who, week after week,
bear the arduous burden of pre-
paring surprising meals to be
served in the name Of the church.
They are kitchen saints, success
sors to Saint Lawrence. Their Of
fering to their Lord is drudgery
and skill.
Nor am I surprised TO learn
that the particular group Of wom-
er I have in mind find their day
of ministry together g. time of real
Christian fellowship, wherein no
word OF petty gossip is ever
spoken.
The women who publish the It'd.
ings, and do the lowly tasks of the
Master, are a great host; and we
pause today to thank Thee for
them. Amen

Heavy Rains Threaten
New Des Moines Flood
By the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, June 13.-Crests OF
the swollen Mississippi and Missouri
Rivers neared st. Louis today, cas-
ing flood conditions upstream, but
heavy rains in Iowa and Nebraska
gave threat of more devastation.
Already flood losses in the valleys
of the two great rivers and their
tributaries approximate $26, 5000, 600
The estimate, made by 1t. Col
Chester L. Landaker of the Army
engineers at Kansas City, includes
damage to crops, farm lands, build
ings and railroads. More than 1,o00,-
GOO acres have been inundated.
AS the crests approached the con-
huence of the two streams, Is miles
north Of here, key levees were hold
ing and the Weather Bureau did not
anticipate any major damage in this
area.
The most critical point in the
Mississippi levee system still was the
SNY levee across the river from
Hannibal, Mo-, where 500 workers
have reinforced it with thousands
OF sandbags in an effort to save
10000 acres. North of Hannibal
the river was receding
The second district Coast Guard
here alerted its units at Burlington,
Iowa, for new duty on the Des
Moines River after heavy rains sent
that stream soaring. The Red
Cross, still housing TOO persons made
homeless by the recent flood at
Ottumwa, also warned Ottumwa,
Eddyville and other Iowa towns.

Five Unions Threaten

BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. June ia two

by five maritime unions, who last
night accused the Pacific American
Shipowners Association of ''stalling"
in negotiating contract with the
CIO Marine Cooks and Stewards
Union. g..
The present contract expires at
midnight tomorrow.
Joseph Curran. president of the
National Maritime Union, presided
at news conference held by the
Policy Committee of the five unions,
all former members of the old CIO
Committee for Maritime Unity
which broke up last winter after
Mr. Currans withdrawal as CO.
chairman. He issued a statement
Of the f1ve-union stand.
Harry Bridges, leader of the West
Coast International Longshoremen's S
and Warehousemen's Union and the
other GNU co-chairman, said his
group agreed with the others that
elf any lockout results the ship
owners will have to fight all of the

Court Test Predicted
In ICC-PUC Clash Of,
Infer-Line Bus Fares

A court test will be necessary 10
clear up q situation inherited from
wartime In which the Capital
Transit Co. is losing money on inter-
line tickets good on nearby Virginia
bus lines. 1t appeared today.
Public Utilities Commission Off
cials predicted the courts would have
to decide whether their ruling that
the transit company can stop selling
and honoring 12-ride inter-line
passes that sell for $1.60, or whether
an Interstate Commerce Commission
ruling the company must continue
carrying passengers on these passes
Is to hold.
The passes are sold for inter-lins
riding on the Capital Transit Co.,
Arnold Lines, and Alexandria, Bar
croft & Washington line. They were
placed In effect as wartime
measure. ...
On May 8 the ICC refused petit
ton by the Capital Transit Co. to
discontinue their use and start
charging the full 10 cents or $50
weekly pass fare for all Capital
Transit riding in the District.
Yesterday the PUG ruled In di-
rect, conflict with the ICC by telling
the Capital Transit Co. it could
start charging the full District fare
as far as transfer points leading
into Virginia, the same as 1t does
to its own and other interstats
transfer points.
The difference in treatment of all
other interstate Capital Transit
passengers except those riding the
Virginia lines constitutes q clear
act OF discrimination" the PUG
ruling said.
