The Week's Best Stories
Anaemic "Aryan"
The late Leopold Godowsky,
who was a friend of Fritz Kreis-
ler for more than 30 years,
once met a Nazi sympathizer
who listed Kreisler among the
great German "Aryan" musi-
cians.
"But Kreisler isn't 'Aryan',"
Godowsky stated.
"He is," the other insisted.
"Unquestionably, there isn't a
drop of 'non-Aryan' blood in
Fritz Kreisler .. ."
"In that case," replied Go-
dowsky, "Fritz must be awfully
anaemic."
A Whole Ox for a Piece of Beef
While recently visiting the
lower East Side of New York,
Hester Park to be exact, this bit
of sharp Jewish humor was over-
heard:
A circle of Jews was deeply
engrossed in a discussion of
world affairs and of the efforts
that were being made by the
democratic leaders to rescue the
Jews in the occupied countries of
Europe. One of the listeners
stood by idly, taking in all that
was said without making any ob
servation of his own. When the
discussion ended he said:
"This reminds me of a story
that happened in my own town
in Lithuania. Our town, as you
know, was famous for its Yeshi-
vah and scholars. And as you
know there are no minds sharper
than those of Yeshivah students.
But this one, about. whom I will
soon tell you the story, was real-
ly a man of vision. One day when
he came to the home where he
boarded, at the expense of the
community of course, the hostess
placed a plate with ever so small
a piece of beef at his table.
"He looked at the plate. Then he
examined its contents smilingly,
philosophically, with delicate fin-
gers curling his "peoth" (side
locks). When after a while the
hostess returned and saw that
he had not eaten his meal, she
asked why he was so engrossed
in thought when he should be
eating his meal. And do you
know what he answered? He
told the woman that he was at-
tempting to figure out why it
was necessary to slay a whole ox
for such a small piece of beef.
Now do you understand?"
MRS. JULIUS HACKMAN
Infants Service Group official-
ly opened its year's activities at
a meeting at the Book Cadillac
Hotel on Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Julius Hackman, president,
outlined the program for the
year and declared that the regu-
lar charitable activities will be
supplemented by efforts to aid
in winning the war.

The Kadish
The Kaddish is a prayer or-
iginally used for closing a ser-
mon, then taken over into the
synagogue and used for closing
a portion of a synagogue serv-
ice, and, in recent centuries, used
as a mourner's prayer. It is bas-
ically a petition for the speedy
coming of the Messianic era and
the recognition of God's suprem-
acy throughout the world.
Daniel T e m c h i n, Mizrachi
leader, one of Detroit's repre-
sentative at the American Jew-
ish Conference, will deliver a
report on the conference at a
Mizrachi meeting this Saturday,
at 9 p. m., at the Turover Shul,
Linwood at Richton. The public
is invited.

HOLLYWOOD—Now it's Ar-
nold Reuben ("from a sandwich
to a national institution") who
will be biografilmed. Reuben,
the famous New York restaura-
teur, will be the pivotal figure
of "This Is Life," a story chron-
icling the heartbreaks, suspense,
and drama behind his extraord-
inary rise to success, revealing
his constant aid to the poor and
the rich, and his untiring efforts
on behalf of infantile paralysis
sufferers.

Irving Berlin, with two units
of his "This Is the Army" show,
will embark for overseas enter-
tainment in four weeks. His
soldier cast must first complete
their basic training so as to be
ready for active combat when
the tour is over.
A demonstration of faith in
the Jewish position was in evi-
dence at the Yeshivath Beth
Yehudah. convocation last Sun-
day, when the "Sefer Hachayim"
(Book of Life) was officially
opened.
Rabbi S. P. Wohlgelernter of
Seattle, Wash., moved his audi-
ence by his address in which he
called American Jewry to re-
place the unspeakable loss our
nation has suffered in lives by
taking the place of the victims
in the world of study and true
Jewish devotion.
Under the chairmanship of
David I. Berris, Rabbi M. J.
Wohlgelernter, president of the
Yeshivah, opened the convoca-
tion. Rabbi Isaac Stollman pre-
sented the Golden Book. Fol-
lowing the address of the guest
speaker, Dr. Samson R. Weiss
formerly opened the Book of
Life, dedicated to the Detroit
Jewish soldiers.
The Simon family of Pontiac,
donated $200 for a page in the
book, dedicated to soldiers who
do not have relatives -to arrange
for their inscription. The dona-
tion was made in memory of the
late Jacob Simon, in whose hon-
or the cornerstone of the Yeshi-
vah Building was laid by Mrs.
Beila Simon on Sept. 2, 1941.
. The list of the soldiers in-
scribed so far is headed by Capt.
Joseph B. Mohr, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Morris Mohr, 2984 Burlin-
game. Capt. Mohr is at present
serving under General Chenault
in the famous "Flying Tigers"
somewhere on the Pacific front.
Inscriptions for the Book of
Life are accepted by the Yeshi-
vah Office, HOgarth 7990. The
charge for inscriptions is $18,
$10 and $5. Every inscriber re-
ceives an artistic Book of Life
Certificate.
Yeshivah branches have been
opened in the Hampton Public
School, in Congregation Bnai
David and Congregation Beth
Tefilo Emanuel.
