Mrs. Joseph H. Ehrlich, Nationally Prominent
As a Leader in Hadassah, Has Been Inspira-
tion to Detroit Jews on Many Fronts

By PHINEAS J. BIRON

WEEKLY GIGGLE

All of Europe today is a fac-
tory of jokes of an anti-Nazi nat-
ure,'reports Curt Riess in "Und-
erground Europe," a book that
belongs on your must list . . .
As an example he cites the fol-
lowing story, concerning a Nor-
wegian fisherman who rowed out
to a fjord to save two drowining
pilots after an airplane crash .. .
A crowd of onlookers ashore
watched as he hauled them into
his boat, exchanged a few words
with them, and then threw them
overboard . . . On his return
somebody askeit him why he had
done that . . . "I thought they
were British' airmen, but they
were Germans," he replied . .
"But they were alive . . . How
could you leave living men to
drown in the sea?" . . .
conceded the fisherman, "one of
them did say they were alive—
but you know how those Nazis
lie." . . . Then there's the one
which Leonard Lyons says he
got via the grapevine from Hol-
land, about the group of faithful
Netherlanders who began to
greet one another in the streets
by raising their hands and shout-
ing - Heil Rembrandt!" . . . The
greeting soon was being shouted
at meetings and in the market
places and whereever the people
of Amsterdam would assemble
. . . The--Gestapd, puzzled by the
prevalence of the "Heil Rem-
brandt" salute, finally collared a
Dutchman and asked him how
come . . . "It's very simple." the
Hollander told them, "we're
'simply following the German ex-
ample ... We hell our best paint-
er the way you do yours" . . .
And from France, where "le vat"
means "the valley", we get the
following lesson in French gram-
mar . . . "What's the difference
between "le vat" and "Laval". a
teacher asked his class . . . " 'Le
val. " replied the bright pupil,
"simply means a low place—but
`Laval' means the lowest depths
imaginable."

ABOUT PEOPLE

That nattily uniformed naval
commander whom you see at
Jewish meetings about town is
none other than Rabbi Joshua
L. Goldberg, formerly of Astoria,
Long Island, and notv. a chaplain
in the Navy . . . In the first
world war he served as an in-
terpreter with the American
Army. but now he confesses that
at the time he knew practically
no English.
In reply to various inquiries
we've received: Emanuel Neu-
mann's resignation from the Em-
ergency Committee for Zionist
Affairs has not, to the best of our
knowledge, taken effect.
Abe Goldberg, the Zionist lead-
er, is doing a splendid job as
chairman of the Jewish Council
of the Russian War Relief.
Elmer Rice, who has a son who
is a full-fledged dramatic critic,
expects to become a father again
before the year is out.
