HONESTY: Conductor Artur
Rodzinski landed his first job in
the musical world when he was
l3 years old. He was hired by an
operate soprano to applaud after
each of her arias.
Young Rodzinski was scruru-
lousy honest. One day, after he
had been working for several
months, the opera company
added another soprano to its
roster. When Rodzinski heard
the newcomer sing, he went back
stage and told his employer that
he was quitting.
"Why?" she asked. Are you
dissatisfied with the pay?"
1T isn't that" replied Rodzin-
ski. Its just that 1 won't be
able to applaud for you any

is a better singer"

enslaving patronage in my earlier
years, I am not going to place
myself in the same relationship
with my wife.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
This wife has called her hus-
bands bluff. She probably could
persuade him to do as she sug-
geStS, but she should not attempt
to do this.
Jack wishes to have no re-
sponSibility for his life or his
factions. His brother and sister
have not held him in slavery.
He could have changed his
career long ago if he had really
wanted to. If he lets his wife
persuade him to go through a
college course and a new career
at this time. he is very likely to
turn on her later for taking him
away from a lucrative business
and sending him "toddling" off
to schooA
His talk of grinning and bear
ing it is aimed directly at tor
menting his wife and proving to
her that he is sacrificing him
self for her benefit. He shows
no indication of wanting tn lcean
up with his responsibilities in
good spirit.
Beatrice has pulled her hus-
band up short. She has stated
what she will do If he has a real
desire to help himself. The rest
is up to him. She should warn
him that whatever decision he
makes, she wishes to hear no
further complaints from him.
