By DAY THORPE

Gratifled by the honor, but
somewhat diffident of my abil-
ity, recently accepted an in
vitation from Bob Rogers, Of
Station WGMS. to be a Judge
of the golden ears of several
Washington maidens. The
girls are aspirants to the title
Miss Golden Ear" and the
winner will be, as I understand
it, Queen Of the HiFf Show
sponsored by WGMS.
How my fellow judges. Paul
Hume, Howard Mitchell and
Herman Lowe. will handle their
assignment I don't know, but I
frankly approach the job with
very little confidence. Still, I
lived for many years in Cooke
City, Mont, where one never
saw folding money, and where
one tested the value of silver
dollar by biting the coin. My
present intention is to assay
the gold in the same manner
I used to try silver. After all,
both are metals. and neither
is base.

SCRIPT FOR BORGE
One of the more successful
routines of Victor Borge last
week was a reading of a short
story IN which the punctua-
ton was audibly represented
by a series of highly descrip-
tive sounds evolved by the
comedian. I wonder if Mr..
Borge is aware that Hilaire
Belloc has written a one-act
play in which there is no dia-
logue except punctuation. The
play appears in the book THE
Path To Rome" and since no.
body can deny that it is the
perfect vehicle for Mr.. Borge,

to it by reproducing the mas

SOLOISTS SUPPLIED

A new concerto by Shostak-
ovich--his first for violin-was
recorded for Columbia by
David Oistrakh before his re-
cent departure. Oistrakh, to
whom it is dedicated, pre-
miered the piece in Leningrad
last october and repeated 1t
in New York. The concerto is
a restrained. almost somber
work as Shostakovitch pieces
go: the percussion section
doesn't begin obtruding until
almost the end, and trumpets
and trombones are excluded
entirely. The economy SEEM
ingly has worked to advan-
tage. for the piece has impress
sive features. Oistrakh doubt
less has made the most of the
violinistic ones. with the eff
cient collaboration of Dimitri
Mitropoulos.
The Khatchaturian concer-
to. which Oistrakh has newly
recorded tfor the fourth time)
for Angel. benefits this time
from the presence of the COM
poser on the podium. Can any,
thing get closer to being de
f1nitive"? Not, presumably,
until stereosonic tapes.

manage to make the rest

Prayer Plate
Reminds Kids
To Say Grace
BY EDWARD S. kITcH

CHICAGO - up - A new pray
er by a wise minister reminds chill
dren what to say when saying
grace at the table.
The Rev. Charles S. Applegath,
70, pastor of the Lake Avenue
Methodist Church of Ashtabula,
Ohio, designed a childs prayer
plate with the message painted On
its surface:
Our Father
We thank Thee for this food
God bless us and all Thy hungry
Children everywhere
Amen
!. The Rev. Applegath composed
the prayer after seeing a snap
shot made by his daughter, Hope,
of his grandson, Roger Werner, 4,
Of LAGRANGE, ILL.,, praying at table
with a neighbor girl, Ginny Alli-
son, 4.
The prayer first was transferred
TO dinner ware two years ago. Since
then it has. been translated into
five languages and is accepted by
Protestant, Catholic and Greek Or
thodox Churches as suitable for
children of their parishes.
3 A Methodist Bishop of Korea re-
ports he plans to introduce it
among children there. The Rev.
Applegath says he has received
requests for the plate from Eng
land and Canada. He was born at
Hamilton, Ontario.
lie said his purpose in creating
the prayer plate was to teach chill
dren to pray before meals, help
children to sympathize with the
worlds hungry and provide prop
FER item for church organizations to
sell in raising funds.

NEW PLANE DATA

ST. LOUIS - up Il An air
craft plant report says planes to-
day are vastly different from those
in World War III. A World War III
fighter required about 1000 parts.
8 modern jet needs 5000. A toler-
ance of 1882 of an inch could pass
for some parts in a second world
war craft, where the modern fight
er has to have 1880 of an inch.
And just a scuff on a wing is
enough to cause a reduction OF 20
miles an hour in speed-a loss
that can be fatal to a pilot when
he's dog fighting for his life.
