FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

STAGE FRIGHT: Opera
Star Gladys Swarthout was
completely sure of herself
when she began her brilliant
career. Blessed with a rich
voice, beauty and charm, she
could face any audience with
equanimity.
Then one night she was to
sing opposite Feodor Chai-
apin, the foremost basso Of
his time. Shortly before the
curtain was to go up she
came upon Chaliapin back
stage. He was leaning against
the wall, obviously i'll. He
was deathly pale and beads
of perspiration shimmered on
his brow.
Alarmed, she called tn e
stage manager. He took one
look at the basso and began
to laugh.
Don't worry about him" "
he said. It's only stage
fright"
AS she watched the dis
tressed basso, Miss Swar-
thout felt her self-confidence
slipping away. If the great
Chaliapin was scared to the
point of illness before an
opening night performance,

A friend said to me the
other day, Il hate to hear the
vail of an ambulance siren.
It gives me the creeps."
I think that is a natural
reaction. When you hear or
see an ambulance speeding
through traffic, your imagi-
nation begins to work over
time. You think. THAT might
be me in there, or one of
my family"
BUT WHAT'S WORSE is
to be in an ambulance in
which the driver has a heavy
accelerator foot. One VIII o
drives as if he we're behind
the wheel of a racing car at
Sebring or Indianapolis.
A number Of years ago I
was in an ambulance taking
a patient to the hospital. I
told the driver that there was
no emergency. Nevertheless,
he sped through red lights
at more than so miles an
hour. At one intersection he
swerved in time to save our
lives and those Of innocent
people in another car who
had the right Of way. I've
been allergic to unnecessary
ambulance speed since then.

are now highly trained and
respect the rules Of the road.

Once again, the cycle Of the
changing seasons brings us to
another Thanksgiving Day, a
day of national Importance to
Americans. In an era when we
take so much for granted, 1t
is wonderful to know that a
great Nation holds to the ira
dition of giving praise and
thanks to God for all its man
fold blessings. Nothing can
crowd out the realization of
great abundance and on this
day We acknowledge that our
cup runneth over.
When we plan for the festive
entertainment of our family
and friends, we instinctively ex-
press this fullness, the bounty
Of our harvest. We gather to-
gether with the idea of sharing
as much as possible. Our homes
will spill over with warmth,
good will and a great radiance.
A part of this radiance may
be reflected in the decora-
tions. These will introduce a
wealth of color, texture and
design into this harmony Of
plenty.
A Thanksgiving story may
thus be gathered in an acient
pewter platter. traditional even
when placed in a modern set
ting. In this instance it is
placed on a cleaning black
