Citizens Laud Present Work
and Oppose Appointees
From Out of D. C.
Legislation in Congress to abolish
the Board of Public Welfare, to be
replaced by three salaried appointees,
was opposed at a meeting last night
of the Forest Hills Citizens' Associa
tion in the Ben Murch School.
The work of the present board was
praised highly, and "importing ap
pointees from out of town” to carry
on welfare work was opposed. The
motion was made by Mrs. Clara
Wright Smith, chairman Legal Com
mittee.
Mrs. Smith introduced another res
olution, which was killed by a rare
parliamentary- move. The resolution
opposed a bill in Congress providing
for the establishment of daylight sav
ing time for the District. When the
vote was called for it was found that
those favoring daylight time were in
the majority by one vote. The vote
of the president, L. A. Carruthers, was
then called for, and he voted in favor
of the rsolution for standard time,
thus making a tie vote. The chair
could not vote again, as is the usual
custom to break a tie. and the resolu
tion was declared dead.
me association protested the use
of the front of public buildings for
garage and parking space in a reso
lution adopted and introduced by
Joseph Sanders. He cited the park
ing of cars on the north side of the
old Patent Office on G street between
Seventh and Ninth streets.
A protest to the Commissioners and
the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
against Issuance of on-sale and off
eale liquor licenses within certain
areas of schools and churches was
also voiced. Copies of the action will
be sent to the Federation of Citizens’
Associations for support.
Mrs. C. A. Burmeister asked the
association to oppose a rider to the
1938 District appropriation bill pro
hibiting school-teachers from doing
clerical work other than duties inci
dental to class room teaching. On
motion of Col. Lawrence Crawford
this action was taken.
The entire slate of officers was re
elected for the ensuing year. They
are: Carruthers, president; Charles
D. Hamel, vice president; Mrs. Wright,
secretary; J. N. McCollum, treasurer;
Carruthers and Sanders, delegates to
the federation: S. C. Cissel and Col.
Crawford, as members of the Execu
tive Committee. James S. Holmes
was admitted to membership.

ORCHESTRA PRESENTS
AMBITIOUS PROGRAM
Department of Agriculture Mu
sicians Score—Guiseppe
Bruno Is Soloist. •
'T'HE steadily enlarging and pro
gressing orchestra of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Dr. Walter Bauer
conducting, presented a Spring con
cert last night In the departmental
auditorium with Giuseppe Bruno as
baritone soloist.
A program, various and ambitious
in nature, which would prove a test
for any organization of the type, gave
Dr. Bauer and his group opportunity
to manifest the ability apparent even
in its present stage of infancy. While
lacking generally in that which is
called tonal purity, a high degree of
unison was maintained at all times.
Individual sections of the orchestra
l were creditably precise i' blending
with each other; and members of the
orchestral sections adhered to an ex
tent diverging from a ragged effect.
The confined limits of the stage and
the musically unadapted type of au
ditorium can be blamed in part for
frequently faulty rendition. Both
acoustics and jammed seating condi
tions for the musicians ostensibly
hampered their efforts.
Rooting out a symphony of Felix
Mendelssohn, not often heard, but
nevertheless famous, the group em
ployed the ‘'Reformation Symphony
(No. 5)” to feature its orchestral at
tempts of the evening. This work, in
the typical romantic and graceful
style of the composer, and containing
pronounced religious themes, charac
terizes the spirit of the period of
Reformation at the time of Men
delssohn’s life. The popularity of the
work as well as the efforts of the per
formers were testified by hearty ap
plause from a capacity gathering.
Mr. Bruno, who displays a rich
voice, marked by certain intensity
and power, won acclaim, especially in
singing to orchestral accompaniment
the “Vision Fugitive,” from Jules
Massenet's successful opera “Hero
diade.” The “Prologue,” from “Pag
liacci” likewise achieved favor. Here
the baritone showed control in regu
lating his volume both soft and
strong.
While Beethoven's "Coriolan” over
ture rang out with ardor, the reading
of Jan Sibelius’ eerie, impressionistic
tone painting, “Swan of Tuonela,"

BEER
After ail it simmers down to a matter of FLAVORS. The
perfect dinner dish . . . the perfect brew . . . demands
a knowledge of exactly the right combination of
FLAVORS. Senate Beer has been known for almost a
half century for FLAVORS. English Beefsteak and
Kidney Pie has become a traditional combination of the
flavors that delight the palates of those who know and ap
preciate rare combinations of flavors, skillfully combined.
