An undying tribute must be
paid to the Jewish Welfare Board
and the Army and Navy Corn-
mittee of the League of Detroit
Jewish Youth — a tribute that
mere words never can adequately
express. The marvelous work of
these groups in providing enter-
tainment and conveniences for
our fighting men, regardless of
race, color or creed, reflects
credit upon the Jewish people
and deserves our wholehearted
support. Among their activities
are: Saturday night Candelight
Parties and an open USO lounge
at the Jewish Center with talk-
ing letters to home, Sunday night
dances at the Standard Club in
the Book-Cadillac Hotel, Sunday
dinners and week-end lodgings,
house parties, symphony nights
every Thursday at the Center,
- sewing and shopping services, re-
ligious services, theater dances
and complete privileges elf the
Jewish Center, which include
swimming, handball, boxing,
wrestling, ping pong, billiards,
gym, art classes and forums. If
you know of any Jewish soldiers
home on furlough, be sure to
have them contact Jack Spencer
at the Jewish Center.

Coast Guardman Levy's in a Fog
Coastguardsman Isaac Levy,
looking as if he had just stepped
out of a torch song, dazedly en-
tered a Toledo, Ohio, drug store
and made a beeline for the tele-
phone booth. We do not know
what conversation transpired
during the better part of that
evening, but we do know that
the long-distance operator con-
tacted New York for him and
that Levy's wife was on the other
end all that time.
Twilight and then darkness
stole over the town of Toledo. At
length—at great length—husband
and wife bid each other good-
night. Levy stepped out of the
booth and moved, as one hypno-
tized, toward the door.
It was locked. He looked
around the store. There was no
one. Only a bleak night light
over the prescription counter.
"Hey!" shouted Levy. "Let me
out of here." He rattled the door.
It wouldn't budge. He went back
into the booth.
"Operator," he said wearily, "I
want the police."
Toledo was thrown into a
small turmoil.
After some confusion on the
part of the local precinct, the
drug store manager was reached
and forced to abandon his dinner.
Pushing his way through a size-
able crowd, the manager arrived
on the scene and let Mrs. Levy's
husband out. In a while the
neighborhood was restored to
quiet. Levy, still lost in a pink
haze, returned to his Coast Guard
base.
CLUB SAN DIEGO
Jackie Heller, the 'little fellow
with the big voice and a phe-
nomenal following, is the star of
the huge New Year's week floor
show at Club San Diego. Now a
full-fledged movie star. Jackie r6-
quested and received permission
to accept this Detroit engagement
in order to aid his local fans in
giving a rousing reception to the
New Year. Jackie has a hand-
picked show lending its support,
including Ray Melville, comedy
master of ceremonies; Janice Pal-
mer, attractive tap dancer; Louise
and her magic violin; Lois Mc-
Donald, clever character dancer,
and other performers. Earl Gard-
ner and his orchestra, featuring
the popular Negro baritone, Her-
man Trice, provide the melodies.

He Believed in Signs
Dr. Abrams was called to a
barber shop, where dam the
Negro porter, was lying uncon-
scious. Dr. Abrams worked on
him for a long time, and finally
revived the man.
"How did you happen to drink
that stuff?" he asked the patient.
"Didn't you see the label on the
bottle? It said 'poison.'
Sam: "Yes, doctor, but I didn't
believe it.'
Dr. Abrams: "Why not?"
Sam: "Because right under that
it said 'Lye.' "

Violinist's Wit
As his intimates are aware,
Mischa Elman is a very witty
fellow. One of the best things he
ever got off was on the occasion
of the funeral of Leopold Auer,
the "lion of the violin." As Elman
was his senior pupil it was sug-
gested that he play at the funeral.
However, as it happened, Jascha
Heifetz, one of his younger pu-
pils, was accorded that honor.
Naturally, Elman's friends felt
that he had been slighted and
one of them suggested that he
remain away.
"You don't want to hear Hei-
fetz," said his friend.
"On the contrary, I do," came
back Elman, adding, "you see, on
this occasion I won't have to ap-
plaud him."
