The sign over the filling station
said: This station is owned by
three veterans"
The comment of one woman
whose son is also a veteran max
ing a start in civilian life was:
THAT kind of sign never would
make me enter a place.
II can usually spot the veterans
running small businesses without
needing any sign to tell me that
they saw service. They are al
most always polite and neat-and
they have a straightforward, easy
way Of meeting strangers that
"'v is due in large part to
their Army experiences.
~lr %eaGerness to please, to
make a go of their small business
es, is indication enough that they
are struggling to make good in
civilian life.
"And l am pleased to be able
to help them by giving them my
trade.
"But there is something about
a sign reading This business is
-un by a veteran that rubs me
the wrong way. 1t sounds as if
the veteran expects patronage just
~r~~~rse he is a veteran, and
don't think he should. be encou--
.ged in that feeling.

The % year old pianist, William
xapell, is scheduled for the sec
ond concert Of the series. He has
been acclaimed by critics all yer
he country. Not many years ago,
Xapell, a thin young piano student,
used to try to sneak into Carnegie
Hall concerts in New York. He
hadn't perfected his gate-crashlng
technique, however, and was us
sually caught-usually by the same
usher. As he landed on thecurb,
the young student would say, III
come back and haunt you some
day-from the PLATFORM"
Since then, William Kapell, now
one of the most brilliant young
American concert pianists, has
become thoroughly familiar with
the Carnegie stage. And his ice
water and towels r now brought
to him by his old enemy, the usher.
Last year, Kapeii opened his
1856 concert season by playing
three times with the New York
Philharmonic Symphony under
Artur Rodzinski This young artist
brought back memories of Rach-
himself, the gaunt Titan
who is Kapell's idol. Here was
fla shing, sure technique, and here
overwhelming sound, produced
in the grand manner.
In 1914 the Philadelphia Orches-
ira took the unprecedented step
of signing Kapell as a soloist
for three successive years. He will
play with that orchestra siv times
this year.
