thoven is not a test of all the
abilities of an orchestra-even

Isary adjuncts, as could be OBJ
served when the heavy brass and
battery went home to the de-
lights of poker or TV after 1.-THE

none but a very fine orchestra
could play the Beethoven we
heard last night.
Although the third Beethoven
concerto had been substituted
for the fourth at the last
moment to suit the mood of the
|soloist, Jose Iturbi seemed less
on the qui vive than the orches-
ira or its conductor. One can
not say that Mr.. Iturbi plays
badly. He shows himself to be a
pianist Of a dependable tech
Inique and a knowledge of the
rules, but his performance is so
Iprosaic that the listener begins
to wonder whether it is worth
while to cucumber a live and
vibrant program with a concerto.
The moving slow movement was
set forth in the matter-of fact
manner Of a harmony teacher
propounding the chords of the

THE GOLDEN YEARS
BY THOMAS COLLINS

The smartest way to retire, ac-
cording to a man named George
g. Milburn, who has tried it, is
to do it on the stallment plan.
And do it on company time, .
he says. a.. the company won't
let you hang around after SIS to
experienmt. But don't make the
company pay. Start taking a few
-four-day week ends about Ia
months before retirement, then
in your last year take a six-week
vacation and maybe a couple of
six-week leaves. let the company
dock your pay for all of this
you don't deserve. It'll be one of
the best investment you ever
made"
Mr.. Milburn, who at present is
living up a three-week leave at
motel outside st. Petersburg
Fla, works for a Pennsylvania
coal company.
He is in a little better position
to practice what he breaches
than, say, a supervisor with a
large corporation. But according
to him, almost any working man
or woman in the country can do
what he is doing.
Practice Retirement
Just about everybody working
for a company that requires you
to retire at SIS is pretty well
given up for gone by the time
he is 63. That's what Mr.. Mil.
burn thinks, and there's prob
ably some sense in his thinking.
Nine times out of TO-" he says.
your company would be glad
to see you taking some extra
time of"
Mr.. Milburn thinks. however.
a man or woman will have to
go to the front Office and argue
strongly for the right to get the
time of to practice" retirement.
He's quite sure the employee will
have to give up his income dur
ing his practice" periods, un-
less possibly his son-in-law is
president of the firm.

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Grant makes a good excuse
for himself and then offers an
all-too-simple remedy. His work
has thrown him in the path of
temptation and he will, there
fore. change his work. His offer
indicates a partially honest de-
sire to reform. but is not the
whole solution and Martha is
right to be mistrustful OF it.
Grant appears to be the type
Of man who is not so much
irresistibly drawn to women as
he wants them to be irresistibly
drawn to him. He has been using
his marriage as shield to pro-
tect himself from seriously fall
ing into the clutches Of any of
the women he has been involved
with. Such a man will hold on to
his wife and family with all his
power.
Beneath Grants attitude to-
ward his wife and other women
Is a deep insecurity. He is the
Don Juan type. who must prove
to himself over and over again
that he can conquer a woman.
No matter how many conuuests
he adds to his chain. he is never
completely satisfied. He must
try again.
The fear of losing his family
has led Grant to seek desperate
remedies this time. Changing
his work might be helpful for
a time. but in the long run, even
II Grant works in contact with
average-looking women, his de-
sire TO conquer once more, add
another name to his list would
probably overcome him.
Grant must recognize. first of
all. that his problem comes from
within himself, not the outside.
The temptation he speaks OF is
not so much a sexual as a psy-
Geological one.
II Grant finds that he cannot

Poppy Day Coming
Monday, May %

This year the American Legion
is giving their poppy program a
new look" They are concentrat-
ing on a new angle - that of the
veteran himself
The poppy is recognized as a
very important part of the re-
habiitation program, for the pop
py helps the veteran to help him.
self, the very spirit of American
Legion rehabilitation work. By
giving the-veteran an opportunity
to use his hands, his mind, and
his time, as we'll as giving him
a source of income, the poppy is
definitely contributing to his well
| fare.
The more poppies worn on Pop
py day, the more veterans are Civ
en- employment. The poppieS are
il means of revenue to the Aux
illary Unit, whereby the Unit can
render a more worthy service to
the veteran and his family.
Every Auxiliary member must
BE- conscious that when she offers
a poppy to be worn in memory Of
Americas war dead, she is offer
ing more than a bit of wire, and
green and red paper to the public.
She is offering a bit of the veter-
an himself. The efforts and handi-
work of thousands who have been
disabled in our nations last three
wars are in those poppieS.
They signify that the people of
America are continuing to reap
the benefits of their sacrifices,
which the disabled veterans con-
tinue to pay in suffering and
handicaps.
American Legion Poppy Day will
be held May. %, and this year
Fasain the story of the Poppy must
be told = how they "are replicas
of the wild poppies which grew In
such profusion on the battlefields
and cemeteries in Europe" y how
they were adopted as the official
flower of the American Legion
and it's Auxiliary - how they con-
tinue to be worn as a memorial
to our nations war dead.
while honoring the dead, we
also are remembering those who
arc disabled as result of their
war service. We are thinking OF
the children of the dead and dis
abled who are in need because OF
their fathers sacrifice.
The Legion Auxiliary encour-
ages the use of poppies whenever
and wherever they are appropri-
ate, because the more poppies used,
the more money the disabled pop
py m kerS can earn - money
! which brings a sense of security
! and hope to these living victims
of war.
Auxiliary members have reSolv-
ed that no effort shall be spared
to make the coming Poppy Day a
success.
Let us take "the torch from
their falling hands," and make it
possible for them to make more
poppies by buying more, by using
more.
Give them renewed hope by al
lowing them to use more of their
time, their hands, and their minds
