Obituary Briefs By BIIX TOWEKV Avalanche-Journal Staff There was some foot-stomping, hand clapping, soul-satisfying music at the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum Saturday night Coliseum Echoes Of Sacred Music Venue Change Hearing Set In Arson Case KOUXTZE (UPI) A change of venue hearing has been scheduled for Monday morning in the arson trial of Fred Foy Young. District Judge Clyde E.

Smith said he would hold the hearing as soon as a jury was seated and that has been accomplished. Five women and seven men were seated Friday night. By Thursday seven persons hac been chcsen. One more was picked Friday morning and the rest later in the day. Smith said he would hold the much delayed venue hearing at, 9 a.m.

Monday. Young is on trial on a charge of burning an antique shop in Kountze. He allegedly set the fire along with Dennis Ray Anderson, to hide the murders of Mabel McCormick and her as the first Festival of Sacred Music took place. Some 2,300 persons attended to hear Lawrence Welk's champagne lady Norma Zimmer, Andre Crouch and the Disci- ales, several local singers, William Harrod and the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra. They came to sing and to be happy and it's a shame the event was held in the coliseum.

With only that many persons any spark generated died abourning in the vastness of the hall. Crouch hit the nail on the head when he said "some of you may be wondering what we're doing up here since it's so nice to sing in this lovely blimp." Thi- crowd was called on to join in some 17 more than they bargained for. They got off to a slow start but soon joined in the spirit of the evening. Miss Zimmer, as usual, gave a sterling performance displaying her vocal talents that have caused her to be a hit on nationwide television. The symphony and the composite choir also provided highlights for the eraiih? and master of ceremonies Eddie Nicholson's spontaneity helped carry the evening.
