Spurs ChiIdren's Interest in Music

Miss Cecilia P. Dulin retired
nine years ago from a 48-year
career as school teacher and prin-
cipal. But she still can't get tired
of being with children.
For tens of thousands of them,
that is fortunate. Miss Dulin has
had big hand in greatly enrich
ing their lives.
For the last six years, she has
been chairman of a little-publi-
cized group called the %. C.
Public School Committee of the
National Symphony Orchestra"
This committee has an impos-
ing roster. 1t includes at least
one teacher from every white pub
lie school-more than 100 in all.
But without Miss Dulin, those who
know agree. it would have few
achievements.
The Public School Committee
does two things. 1t helps to stimu-
late school participation in the
annual children's concert series of
the Symphony. And during the
orchestra's annual fund drive, it
raises contributions among the
teachers (not the pupils.
Until this winter, the committee
was in charge of ticket sale and
distribution for the school con-
certs. Business sponsors are pay
ing the costs this season, so the
children are admitted free. The
committee still helps to arouse in
terest in the programs, however.
BroadcaSting also has been added
this year-something the commit
tee will help teachers use in
creasingly in the future.
1t was Miss Dulin who, in 1914,
took over the chore of co-ordinat-
ing the committees complicated

interest has sparked the children's s

8 Bell Court Families
Facing Eviction Still
Without Place 10 Go

Only 2 of 10 families being
evicted by the District from their
Bell Court alley homes in George
town had found other places to
live today as the dead-line ap-
preached for their removal.
Two small families among some
40 men, women and children living
in houses condemned as insanitary
have found rooms to rent in the
Southwest. One resident of the
colored community between 1926
Volta place and Thirty third
street, said others have been un-
able to find places which they can
afford.
The 10 tenants are under $50
bond each for appearance in Mu-
nicipal Court. February %, on
charges of occupying condemned
property. Charges will be dropped
it was said, If they have moved
by then.
White Tenants Sought.
Meanwhile. the owners, William
j. ODonnell, former Georgetown
druggist. and his sons are consid-
ering remodeling the property for
occupancy by white tenants.
MIR. O'Donnell told associates
he is too old to renovate the
property, and recently transferred
it to his sons, William j. ODon-
nell, jr., and Hanlon ODonnell.
Hanlon O'Donnell said he hopes
to renovate the houses for white
families. District authorities
want bathrooms, electricity and
modernized floors, walls and roofs
before the buildings can be re-
occupied.
Owners who wish to make ex-
tensive repairs on alley dwellings
are faced with the present law
making it illegal for any person to
live in an alley here after 1855
The time limit on the old law
has been extended several times
because Of housing shortages re-
sulting from two world wars.
The houses have been renting
for $3.50 to SIS a month. The
real estate agent said rents were
hard to collect at this figure, and
if rents are raised to meet reno
vation costs. collection from ten
ants in similar circumstances
would be out of the question.
In the last few years, some own
ers of alley dwellings have made
repairs and charged higher rents
in hope of getting their invest
ment back before the deadline, OF
having the time limit will be ex-
tended again, District officials
said.
Five Applied for Homes.
Five Bell Court tenants have
applied to the National Capital
Housing Authority to find them
new homes.
The authority lacks funds tc
develop new homes for alley dwell
ers, although it maintains a pri-
ority list for tenants eyicted by
the District, an official said.
He added no new homes had
been found as yet for the Bel
Court applicants. and that the de-
mand for family dwellings in low
rent brackets far exceeds the sup
ply here.

First Sentences
To District Clinic
Municipal Court
To Pick Patients
From Volunteers

Courts will begin sentencing
alcoholics to the new alcoholic
rehabilitation clinic tomorrow.
Health Officer Daniel L. Seek
niger announced today.
The present plans call for test
ing of alcoholics to determine
whether they can be helped by
the clinic. DR.. Seckinger said
the most important phase will
be the alcoholics willingness to
cooperate.
I'VE cannot hope to do much
in the line of rehabilitation if
we do not have the utmost CO.
operation of the patients" DR..
Seckinger said. "We will only
take from four to six patients a
day as it seems that a patient
load of about IS persons will be
all that can be handled by our
present staff. BY building up the
patient load slowly it is antici-
pated that We will be able to
maintain continuing rehabilita-
ton program. Some of those sem
fenced by the court may not re-
quire the full 80 days for the
cure. Others may require addi-
tional time"
Screening" to Start.
Joseph Sanford. chief probation
officer at Municipal Court, said
screening" of alcoholics for ref
erence to the clinic will start at 8
a m. tomorrow when persons ar
rested overnight for being drunk
arrive at the court.
Mr.. Sanford SAID a case worker
from the clinic, a psychologist
and one of the court probation
officers would explain tie plan to
the prisoners ard ask for volun-
teers. From these volunteers will
be chosen the alcoholics TO be
treated.
When those selected are
brought into drunk" court, cur
rently being conducted by Judge
Frank Myers, the probation off,
Ger will inform the court of these
prisoners desire for rehabilitation.
Judge Myers will then refer them
for treatment.
MUST Provide Officer.
Mr.. Sanford said that for the
present he will have to draw from
his own overworked staff in order
to provide probation officer for
clinic work. However, under the
clinic plan as worked out by the
commissioners, a special proba-
tion officer eventually will be sup
Piled for this purpose.
In addition to the alcoholics
sentenced by the court. some per-
sons will be admitted to the clinic
on a voluntary basis.
The program is being co-ordi-
mated in the clinic with the work
OF Alcoholics Anonymous, asso-
clated with the building of the
clinic program since it was first
organized.
DR.. Seckinger. in cooperation
with the Commissioners Advisory
Committee and the Committee on
