A German was taken prisoner
in the desert and this Jewish
soldier was called upon to ques-
tion him in German.

Without answering the ques-
tions, the prisoner asked the
soldier: "Are you a Jew?"

"I am asking the questions
here!" replied the soldier. The
prisoner refused to answer any
questions, however, until he
knew the race of his examiner.
The soldier, becoming curious,
tried to find out the reason for
this and eventually elicited an
explanation:

"I know that you are of Ger-
man origin," the prisoner said.
"If you are a German, you are
a traitor. But if you are a Jew
you are my enemy, and you
therefore have the right to
question me as a prisoner of
war."

BACK FROM a short vacation
in Cedar Pointe and ready for a
good rest! A very hot sun
blended with the coolness of the
Lake Erie waves to make our
stay an enjoyable one—from the
knees up . . . That's from 01'
Sol reaping a burning vengeance
on our legs for undermining his
ability . . . When we entered
the hotel lobby, there were so
many people from Detroit, it
looked more like a homecoming,
rather than the start of a vaca-
tion.
THE MAN-SHORTAGE prob-
lem at the Pointe didn't bother
Jackie Weitzman and Rae Ra-
fales . . . Both gals took a hard
fall . . . A Clevelander had Jackie
dreaming every nite and Rae
stuck close to home with a De-
troit lad . . . Camp Perry is but
60 miles away, and Sgt. Harry
Kramer was among the oft-time
khaki-kallers • . . He's an arms
instructor at Perry.
AT DINNER-TIME, most of
the guests hopped the ferry to
Sandusky every eve for their
meals ... When the boat docked,
it was a familiar sight to see
three girls sifting through the
huge crowd and sprinting ahead
to reach the eatery for a table .. .
The trio was composed of Mil-
dred Smith and Clara and Lee
Merlaub . . . Lois Landsberg was
voted the cutest cutie and Rita
Rosenblatt walked off with the
ping pong championship.
DOROTHY BERENSON and
Hilda Wenst were among the
ankle-low waders .. . They cer-
tainly didn't want to get their.
swimming suits wet! . . . Stanley
Goldberg, formerly a frequent
visitor at the Jewish Center,
came in from Cleveland . . . He's
doing work for the War Labor
Board . . . Harry Harris, Milt
Barnett and Harry Feiner ar-
rived amid hopeful glares from
the females.

The repaving of Dexter Blvd.
was a chance for Lou Steinberg
to close his gas pumps and get
away . . . Wearing his uniform
day and nite, Lou was twice mis-
taken for the janitor . . . But
he was comfortable, and that was
all that counted.
