Things We Take for Granted
—and a Day for Thanksgiving
By the Oak-Woodser
There are times when only
miner unpleasantries can indi-
cate to us how much we take
for granted the many things we
are fortunate enough to have.
How often do we think of
electric lights, refrigerators,
furnaces—even radio and tele-
vision sets—as anything other
than necessities.
Yet, if you're like us, you
hardly think of them in terms
other than performing a useful
would be like to live without
these conveniences.

Peerce, who started his sing-
ing career as an '"alto" in New
York's church choirs, worked
his way through college, not as
a singer, but as a violinist. But
a career as a singer was his
bent and he got his first big
break under Samilel "Roxy"
Rothafel, famed operator of
New York's Radio City Music
Hall, where he sang everything
from pop tunes to Wagner, and
became known to an ever grow-
ing audience through exposure
on the weekly coast to coast
radio show which emanated
from the "Music Hall's" stage.
Samuel Chotzinoff, musical
director for NBC then took up
the cudgels for young Peerce
and introduced him to Tosca-
nini, who hired him on the spot.
He subsequently performed
14 additional works under Tos-
canini's baton, and in between
times came under the manage-
ment of impressario Sol Hurok.
Tickets are available in ad-
vance of the performance at
Temple Emanu-El, 14450 W. 10
Mile; Grinnell's Downtown only,
Marwil Book Stores and at Ford
Auditorium.
