Phone 6-4175 THE NEWS-TIMES Paul Young Directs Duke Men's Glee Club Although Prof. Paul Young is making his first tour as director of the Duke University Men's Glee Club this year, he is no stranger to choral groups. The Glee Club will appear in New Bern April 13. 1957 at the Shrine Auditorium at 8 p.m. Before coming to Duke last fall, Professor Young, who is also a nationally known authority in the field of choral literature, spent seven years as director of men's glee club at the University of Illi nois.

Professor Young has done some musical directing and acting with professional groups in light opera and musical comedy, and for 12 years taught choral and | instrumental music in secondary schools in Ohio, Pennsylvania and j [ New Jersey. | It is Professor Young's belief | that the pleasure men take in I singing together, plus the fact that I men's voices appeal *rongly to most people, account for the great I popularity of men's gle- "clubs. "The vitality and vigor of a men's chorus," he says, "carries over to the conductor and back to the singers, and in large measure constitutes the thrill the audience gets from hearing a fine men's glee club." With the Heart Young's philosophy is that "mu sic is not made by magic ? you must sing with your heart" and the boys he directs vow that "he [ directs with his head and hands, but most of all with his heart." A native of Bremen, Ohio, Pro fessor Young did his undergra duate study at the Cincinnati Con servatory of Music, Ohio Univer sity. and Harvard University.

' Why should N YOU pay for electric service in Tennessee? , / K In almost all of Tennessee, and in the other areas of the U. S. served by federal government power systems, a strange twist in federal law put* several million families and businesses into a special "privileged class." Your taxes help pay their electric bills! Here's what happens: Unlike independent electric light and power companies, federal government power systems pay no federal taxes at ?11 and pay little or no state and local taxes. This means that customers of these federal power systems don't pay the taxes on electricity that you pay. As a result, you have to lie taxed more to make up the difference? and to build the federal power plants in the first place. Shouldn't the basic unfairness of this kind of subsidy and tax ex emption be given thorough study and discussion? We think so. That's why we bring you this message. Carolina Power & Light Co.-"
