COMMITTEES had
S EVERAL
been struck off at the meeting

of a small town branch of the
Jewish women's organization and
the chairlady was saying "well,
that is disposed of" when one of
the members asked very appeal-
ingly: "Madame chairlady. please
let's appoint another commit-
tee."
"Why?" the chairlady counter-
ed.
"Well, you never know when
we may need it," was the reply.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, a big
national Klubayash championship
tournament has just been held in
Johannesburg and a national
champion chosen. No pastime en-
joys greater following among our
people than this famous old game
of skill, which can be played by
two, three or four persons.
During the war Jews from all
over the world in uniform taught
it to their gentile fellws-in-arms.
It is so widely played by Jews
that it is small wonder the game
is frequently thought of as Jew-
ish in origin ... although wheth-
er it is Indian, Dutch or Roman-
ian is still a matter of debate.
Which recalls an amusing inci-
ent:
A group of Jewish businessmen
were traveling through the west
when a wild-looking young
man literally lept into the club
car, shouting: "Are there any
Jews here?"
Instantly a young man leaped
to his feet and declared: "l'in a
Jew. What do you want?"
"Weil, why the heck aren't we
playing Klubayash?"

Levitan said that he was quite
proud that he, for one, was a
stingy man.
"Elect me, a stingy man, as
your state treasurer," he said,
"You may be sure that I won't
squander your money."
The electors, admiring his wit
as well as his 'other qualities,
elected him in a landslide.

You were a stocky ruddy com-

"But I'm not Dr. Greenspan,"
declared the astounded physician,
I'm Dr. Crumpley."
