TV Radio Mirror (Jan - Jun 1955)

"Lee and I don't discuss our own problems then," says Gale. "We save this time for. the children. They discuss their day. If there is a problem, and there generally is — somebody's club has picked on Phil's club, or Peter fell into the ash can head first — we discuss these problems at the dinner table." Gale is pleased when the boys' thoughts and actions reflect this basically religious attitude they have learned by example from their parents. "Sure," she says, "my three boys are just like other youngsters. They argue and fight like all brothers, and there are 'gold star' times when they are especially thoughtful of one another. One summer, for example, Paul had a chance to spend a weekend at a friend's ranch. I remember how nice I felt inside when he turned to his brothers and said, 'Gee, I'm sorry you guys can't go, too.' " Gale's religious routine today, she says, "is one I pretty much stick to. When I wake up — and I have a hard time waking up! — I splash water on my face. I do my spiritual reading, then I say a short prayer by way of thanks, reaffirming my source of strength and my need for guidance throughout the day. "Then," she says with humor, "I do my exercises. Lee says I should do my exercises first. He says the exercises wake up your mind, clear your head. But," she laughs, "I couldn't do my exercises if I hadn't prayed first to give me the strength!" Gale doesn't talk prayer; she lives it. After eating a hearty breakfast, she takes off for work. It's easy to see that Gale's a tower of spiritual strength, for it seems as though everyone on the set drifts toward her. One of the girls at the studio says, "Gale is bright and gay, a lady but not a prude, and she never preaches — but you can see, from the way she lives, she's a basically religious person. If everybody could see what religion has done for Gale Storm, there wouldn't be an atheist in the world." At lunch, Gale, again, leaves time for prayer. She always takes something to read — the Bible or some spiritual book — though she admits that, because of the press of work, she doesn't always get time to read. "Finally, when I come home at the end of the day," she says, "I plop down on the bed, sit for fifteen minutes, and I pray. I find it relaxes me. I don't think it's fair to the kids for me to come in tired, taking the nervous edge off on them. The fifteen minutes alone and the prayer do the work." Today, Gale remembers her mother's words, "Faith is like a bank account of prayers." Her religion, having been a daily way of life, has filled this bank to overflowing. As she looks around to count her blessings, she sees this: Her handsome husband; three healthy, happy sons, all set against the backdrop of their lovely new Royal Oaks home. If anyone were to ask Gale Storm for her formula for success, she would simply say, "I pray." •••••••••••••••••••••••••A-*** INVEST IN U. S.
