Rose. Biehl Writes
2 Patriotic Songs

Mrs. Rose Biehl of 1695 Blaine
Ave., author of a number of pop-
ular patriotic songs, has just pub-
lished two more songs—"Fight,
Fight, Fight" and "Susabella."

Both of these songs, which are
dedicated to Mrs. Biehl's sister,
Miss Anna Schwartz, as well as
one of her other recent songs,
'Keep Your Chin Up," have been
sung over WXYZ and were play-
ed during programs on WWJ.
Orchestra directors who have
played the songs included Phil
Brestoff, Del Irelbridge, .Vincent
Lopez, Mike Falk, Don Pablo,
Bennie Kyle, George Kavanaugh
and Bill Gale.

The chorus to "Fight, Fight,
Fight" reads:

We must fight, fight, fight, for the
right, right, right,
To be free 'neath the Red, White and
Blue,
We must win, win, win, hit 'em on the
chin,
Knock 'em out with the old' one and
two.
We must show the foe that they ought
to know,
That the Yanks are coming again,
Make 'em run, run, run, like a son-of-
a-gun,
Shouting "we want peace on earth
again."

The Sisterhood of Temple Beth
El will present Spencer D. Irwin,
associate editor of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer and foreign affairs
columnist, Monday, Jan. 10 at 2
p. m. in the Brown Memorial
Chapel. The meeting will be pre-
ceded by a dessert luncheon in
the Social Hall at 1:30.

Recognized as an authority in
international affairs, Irwin, upon
his graduation from college, en-
tered the newspaper field. He
became acquainted with many of
the outstanding persolanities in
world affairs. He joined the Plain
Dealer in 1926. He is a member
of the Academy of Political Sci-
ence, a director of the Cleveland
Foreign Affairs Council; a mem-
ber of the exclusive Committee
on Foreign Relations and a di-
rector of the Cleveland Council
for American Unity.

Throughout his busy years, he
extended his acquaintances to the
leading representatives of foreign
nations and continued his contacts
through correspondence. Former
President Eduard Benes of the
Czechoslovak Republic was a
staunch admirer and that coun-
try, before it fell into the hands
of Hitler, awarded Mr. Irwin with
the Officers' Cross of the Order
of the White Lion. He is the only
newspaperman ever • to be so
honored and this is but one of
the many recognitions accorded
him by nations now in the grasp
of the Nazis. King Carol of Ru-
