A WINNER EVERY TIME

Last Friday the winners in the
Silver Dollar Day promotion were
known by all and thus ended another
successful town-wide event here.
Merchants who handed out more
than $4,000 Silver Dollar Day tickets
during the annual promotion, heard
one statement from almost everyone
getting the tickets. That statement
was, Yes, l want the tickets but l
know l won't win. wouldn't win if
my ticket was the only one in the box.

Yet, in this big promotion there
is winner every time and the chances
are that one or more of those winners

DR.. Herman Feifel of the
University of Southern Cali
fornia presented a report re-
Gently to the American PSy-
Geological Association on pilot
studies as he had conducted of
personal attitudes toward
death.
DR.. Fcifcl found that real
ization of possible death seems
TO give permission to some to
be themselves rather than ex-
tensions or mirrors of other
peoples values"
Oddly enough, the taboo of
discussing death openly and
frankly was most prevalent a
mong government and private
hospitals, big and little inStitu-
tionS, private practitioners and
university medical schools -
among the people and places
where you would expect death
to be most fully understood
and matter-of-factly accepted.

called personal position, boil

Joan SutherIond's
Triumph CIouded

Except for the Handel arias
(Which were tentatively sung
and upon which she warmed
up). the Bellini "Qui la voce"
"a poor enough piece. in TRUTH .
and the Thomas aria, the pro-
gram was a series of complete
inconsequentialities.
Or perhaps the blame for
what must be characterized as
a really shocking display Of
emptiness belongs to Richard
Bonynge, the singers accom-
panist, coach and husband.
Mr.. Bonynge, who presided
deftly at the keyboard last
night, is the acknowledged
shaper of Miss Sutherland's ca
reer. 1t was he who turned her
away from Wagner and to-
wards Bellini; it was under his
tutelage that she became the
polished technician that she
is. And her program was doubt
less of his making.
Altogether, one got the i'm
preston that Miss Sutherland
was puppet and Mr.. Bonynge
was puppet-master. 1t was a
strange thing to see the ac-
companist go through the entire
evening without using a single
score, while the recitalist
brought out her little word
book for such standard student
pieces as Tosti's "Serenade"
(which surely should never be
sung by anyone except Caruso)
and Delibes "FilleS de Cadiz."
Every seat in Constitution Hall
was filled. and 1t was evident
from the undercurrent of
excitement all through the
evening that the audience was
aching for a sensation. After
all, If New York could cheer
Miss Sutherland for an un-
broken 20 minutes, why
shouldn't Washington?
Truth to tell, the singer made
unbridled enthusiasm extreme =
ly difficult to muster. even with
the best will in the world. The
greater portion of her recital
(only so minutes of music in
alb made heavy use of her neat
but not eaudy low and middle

refused to let the singer go.
The affair was indeed a tri-
umph for Miss Sutherland. but
1t was no victory for art. So
far, the diva has demonstrated
herself an accomplished vocal
acrobat. Next time she visits
our city, let us hope that the
music she sings moves us as
much as her technical mastery
astounds us.

Joan Sutherland, fresh from
one Of the most brilliant Met
ropolitan Opera Company de-
butts in decades, was heard last
night at Constitution Hall in
recital.
Miss Sutherland. a tall and
striking looking redhead with
great dignity of carriage. is the
current sensation of the opera
world-and her triumph is
we'll deserved, If voice alone be
the measure.
Hers is a coloratura of as
founding flexibility and rich
ness. AS Miss Sutherland sings
the arias of a Bellini or a
Thomas, they glow with unac-
cuStomed warmth. And per-
haps the most marvellous thing
of all is the meltingly lovely
ornamentation - ornate and
old-fashioned-with which this
magnificently endowed singer
graces the coloratura reper-
tory.
! One does not have to listen
to Miss Sutherland for very
long to realize that she is
blessed with one of the most
extraordinary vocal techniques
and loveliest voices of our time
This she proved conclusively
with a phenomenally stylish
"a vos jeux, mes amis," one OF
the touchstones of the colora-
tura's craft.
/ But I am very much afraid
that the recital failed to prove
that Miss Sutherland is as
great an artist as she is a
singer.
/ Perhaps the fault is her own
since she had virtually nothing
Of any substance upon which
to demonstrate any artistry

the results of the examina-

much more than the pre-

Little Washington, with a

the father of our country

one injected a need, and one
withdrew blood. A realistic

He raised his head a little.

How to
STOP. KILLING
YOURSELF
Even the Best Isn't an Oracle
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

There are no oracles in
medicine. The fact that a
doctor is a professor, has
treated royalty. or numbers
the great and near-great
among his patients, doesn't
guarantee that he exceeds
in wisdom or medical expert
ence scores of other doctors
practicing in his special field.
No matter how renowned,
a physician must have hu-
mility and a realization Of
his shortcomings. When one
deals with disease he can be
quickly cut down to size II
he thinks he knows it all.
I like a doctor who uses
such words as "if," "it de-
pends," nobody can be sure"
when he discusses illness.
And I distrust the doctor
who knows it all, who never
qualities, who is opinionated
and too cocksure.
You will be safer in the
hands of the one who always
questions his diagnosis and
treatment until he can be as
sure as a mortal can be.

1 HAVE KNOWN many
patients who were dissatis-
fled because their doctor
didn't prescribe some medi-
cine. "All he did was examine
me-" they said. " I walked
out empty-handed."
It's so easy to write a pre-
scription. On the other hand,
