1 feel very presumptuous and
uncomfortable about trying to
explain out loud the things 1 bo
licve in. But I do think that all
human problems are in sam
way related to each other so
perhaps if people compare their
expi lienees they may discover
something in common in hum
ing the answers.
I am a very fortunate man for
I lead a full and. what is for me.
a happy life. I say this even
though I happen to have had,
in tiie course of it. a couple of
severe personal blows. My first
wife collapsed and died one day
while stu and I were ice skating,
after 18 years of a most happy
existence together. My only son,
a sergeant in the Army combat
engineers, was killed in Italy in
the last war. Nonetheless, these
trygedi.s did not throw me com
pletely and I have been able to
fill my life anew with happiness.
1 do not mean to sound cal
loused. Those blows hurt me
deeply. I guos that two basic
ally import^ d things helped mo
most to reecver. One is the fact
that I have com. to see life as
a gamble. The other is a belief
in what sum people call the
hereafter. I try to live fully so
that when my luck changes t 'ere
will be little room far regret
or recrunination over tim lost
or misspent. My belief in the
hereafter is wrapped in the in
tangible but stubborn thoughts
of a layman. Very likely I would
get lost in trying to describe or
dt f< n i. in c >1 i 1< tic. . ; b lit
in God but nobody could argue
me out of it.
I have come to believe that I
owe life as much as it jvvcs me
and i suppose that explains the
fin it.is t out of
dt avorin-g to do a job to th best
of what ability i have, and out
of helping somebody else.
As a kid 1 used to ride a rake
in the hay fields. 1 got a tre
mendous kick out of trying to
sweep every field clean as a
whistle. Here 1 made a surpris
ing and happy discovery: that
there could be actual enjoyment
in the exercise of thoroughness
and responsibility, that duty
didn't have to be a drudg .
I don't know exactly why. but
I like to do things for other pea
pie. Not only family responsi
bilities, work on a hospital board
and various church organizations
but also the most inconsequen
tial things that might hardly
seem worth th time. My office
happens to be on Independence
Square and now and then I have
occasion to direct a tourist to
the Liberty Bell or fill him in
on a little of the history of Phil
ado' >kia. The tourist doesn't
soon to mind and it makes mo
l el good. I'm afraid I'm not
very profound. 1 have tried to
comprehend why something so
simple and so sound as the
Golden Rule is so often forgot
ten or held in disrepute. 1 can
only sav—and I say this quite
selfishly—that I have found it a
good investment. It has paid me
a very high return, undoubt dlv
more loan I deserve.

„ Music Trail Concert
Monday Last
Of Current Season
When Bronislav Gimpel, vio
linist, who will play a concert
Monday, April 21, at 51 p.m. in
. the S. ward Methodist Church,
is heard one is seemingly wit
nessing an artist who has arrived
at the top rung of the ladder in
1 a concert career which began as
a child prodigy with no marks
evident of the hard years wh;n
the young artist had to struggle
as most truly great professional
people do.
Bronislav Gimpel never wav
ered in his determination to
leach the lop. He was to know
the acclaim of appearing with
such gr.at artists as Selma Kurz,
Geo Slezak and Maria Jeritza,
and concerts were arranged for
him cove ling a tour of cities on
three1 continents. But, during the
years of world unrest when he
served in the U.S. Army Air
t oice. music had to be put aside.
A wry Human person, this
story is told in the New York
World Telegram of the artist.
“A stone's tnrow from Carnegie
*-Ml in New York there is a
Paganini of the gutter who
plays for his supper. His fiddle
is scratchy and his hand mi
steady. One evening two gentle
men who likewise fiddle for a
living noticed the old man and
saw th it his hat was empty.
Bronislav Gimpel, noted soloist
and conductor of the American
Broadcasting C o m p a n y sym
phony with Max Cairn, staff vio
linist, decided to give the sho \
an assist. . . Calm topK his violin
trom its cus and played "6ou
venir. ' In no time, a c; ,wd gath
ered. Coins fell in the battered
old hat. The old fiddler beamed.
Gnnpti tucked h.s riddle under
bis chin and johud Calm ,a a
(met. lii crowd diet red. . . The
street eonicr concert could have
gone on for hours, but Calm and
Gimpel feared the sudden arm,
al of the police, who might in
terpret such a gathering as a
breach ol the peace, so brougnt
the program to a cl-ase by play
ing "The Star Spangled Banner"
in which the old fiddler joined
with his n w friends. Again tiio
crowd cheered and threw coins.
The Paganini of the gutter
bowed low. then counted the
night's receipts. Total was $75.
Gimpel and Calm picked up
their violin cases and went on
their way whistling.”
