“Brazil” was the program pre-
sented to the Music Study club
Wednesday morning at the USO.
Mrs. H. B. Warner, program
director, opened the program
with a talk on the music of the
country. Roll call was answer-
ed by Mrs. T. H. Kassner on
Geography and history of the
people of Brazil. The majority
of people live on the coast, and
are either Portuguese, Indians,
or negroes.
Brazil’s foremost opera, “Ov-
erture to 11 Guarany,” was ex-
plained by Mrs. Warner, with a
history of the life of Carlos
Gomes, the composer.
In portraying the music, Mrs.
Charles Canfil sang “Flowers
Are Gay When They Open”
(Mignone), accompanied by Mrs.
II. O. Dean.
A piano solo “Le Polichinelle
(Heitor Villa Bobosi was given
by Mrs. J. C. Pinson. “Tutu
Maramba” (arr. by H. McKin-
ney) was sung by a vocal trio
composed of Mmcs. Milo Roth,

and Mrs. Nilburn Beard and
j their two babies.
The Glasses and Goforths liv-
ed in apartments on (he sec-
ond floor.
Mrs. Goforth escaped from the
blazing structure by leaping
from the second - floor front
porch with her clothes in
flames. She apparently was the
only one to escape with her
life from the second floor.
Mrs. Goforth, according to
Ted Felds, head of the Harris
county emergency corps, was
taken to St. Joseph’s informary.
She Was in serious condition
with third degree burns and
a leg injury.
Mrs. Glass died while a fire-
man, O. L. Roberts, of No, 17
station, tried desperately to
reach her from a ladder.
“The flames were shooting all
around,” Roberts said, “When
she came to the window. She
had two baliies. She pushed one
through the window onto the
porch and then crawled through
with the other one.
“Their clothes were burning.
The first little kid became ex-
cited and raced hack into the
house. Mrs. Glass clung to the
other one.
“I was just a few feet from
her. I shouted to her to come
closer so I could grab her, pull
her off the porch or help her
some way.
“She either didn't hear me
or didn't understand. She col-
lapsed to her knees beside the
I wall and didn’t get up.”
Fire Chief Homer Lyles said
'he believed the lilaze started in
