GEM WEARERS SCOLDED

Printed scoldings are being thrust into the hands of bejeweled and smartly dressed women in Tokyo, Japan. Slips of paper bear such le- gerds as Let Us Stop Wearing Rings" and Let Us Cease Wearing Extravagant Clothes" The drive is backed by the women's auxiliary of National Spiritual Mobiliza tion. No one is immune from these public dressing downs, whether adorned with diamonds or bedizened with sparkling sidewalk-stall bric-a- -brac, for spotters cannot tell at a glance what is real and what is imitation.

Cooperation On Toys


 Tomorrow is the day that the Boy Scouts will go around to houses in the borough to collect old toys, damaged or useless to their honors. It is probable that there are such toys in most houses in town, and the various families are asked to cooperate by giving the toys sa that needy children will have happy Christmas.
 The Scouts will repair the toys and at Christmas time the toys will be distributed to the youngsters, many of whom would not get many other toys.
 If there are some homes the Scouts miss in their toy canvass, and the occupants wish to donate they can bring the toys to the local fire department or phone Nauga- tuck 4691 and the toys will be call ed for immediately. It is hoped many residents will respond to this worthwhile appeal.

SchoIo C. Contorum's S Founder
Sees Recordings Filling Need
Arturo PopoIordo RecoIIs Experience
Thot Opero Records Could Have AIIevioted

enthusiastically indorsing The
Stars current music appreciation
program, Arturo Papalardo, teacher
and conductor and founder of the
Washington Schola Cantorum, today
related a personal experience which
prompted him to express approval
of the campaign.
Some years ago, when he was con-
ductor of an operate troupe in
Italy. the company was preparing to
saA for Rio de Janeiro to open the
operate season with Tristan and
Isolde"
THE experience was an unforget-
table one because day after day and
even nights were spent rehearsing
each part and preparing all the
vocal ensembles with no such assist
ance as operate recordings would
have given in such an emergency"
Mr.. Papalardo recalled. For it was
an emergency, indeed-we had only
two weeks before the opening date.
We had to use the time aboard ship
for rehearsals with the entire group
because there had been no time be-
fore sailing to assemble the COM
pany.
1T is with such an experience in
mind that I can appreciate the ad-
vantage we musicians and vocalists
have today in being able to obtain
the Tristan recordings through The
Stars offer. The recordings make
our study and preparation for pub
lie performance much easier and
more effective.
From the laymen's viewpoint, the
owning of such recordings should
likewise be a matter of necessity to
fully appreciate Wagner's greatest
work. 1t is not enough for us to
know the story Of the drama"
Mr.. Papalardo said music lovers
today are privileged to enjoy great
recordings land debt of gratitude
is indeed due The Star for making
possible through its music appre-
citation campaign the distribution to
the public of operate recordings at
a nominal cost"
