LISTENING

By Danny Raskin

TWO SOLDIERS in a hospital
in Italy were having the same
thoughts—about the good 'ol
home town . . . Not knowing
each other, they kept their
memories to themselves • . But
it wasn't too long before they
became acquainted and were
conversing in the "Now, where
I come from—" manner . . •
While talking, it became appar-
ent that both boys were speak-
ing about the same place—De-
troit—and that their homes were
but a short distance apart . .
Also that their daily places of
frequence were the same . . .
The two fellows were Pfc.
Isadore Kaplan and Pvt. Max
Bialik.

FROM ENGLAND, Cpl. Nat
Bloomberg writes about his fur-
lough to Edinburgh, Scotland . . .
"Saw the floating castle"—in
fact, all I saw here were castles!
. . They're a dime a dozen and
a Lot of the people living in them
haven't seen that much money
in a long time" , . . He conclud-
ed his V-letter with the usual
"Cherio" and adds, "If I hear
that word again, I'll murder
someone!" . . The A.Z.A.
Chapter 527 Valentine Dance at
the Book Cadillac, Feb. 12, will
have Dave Diamnod for the
rhythms . . . Windsor A.Z.A. has
scheduled a dance for March 1.

BETWEEN SHOWS, we asked
Dean Murphy, America's top
mimic, about his latest picture,
"Broadway Melody" . . He
answered, "Every body hi Cali-

in the picture rushed to get
their autographs!"

Mrs. Gussie Cohen

Passes Away at 90

Mrs. Gussie Cohen, pioneer De-
troit resident, died last Friday
at the age of 90.
Funeral services were held at
Ira Kaufman Funeral Home on
Dexter Blvd., Sunday afternoon,
Rabbi A. M. Hershman officiat- ,
ing. Interment was in Clover
Hill Park Cemetery.

Hundreds of friends of the
family attended the funeral serv-
ice and paid last respects to her
memory.

Born in Poland, Mrs. Cohen
had lived in Detroit for 53 years.
She made her home with her
son, Harry Cohen, prominent De-
troit Jewish leader, vice-presi-
dent of Congregation Shaarey
Zedek and the Zionist Organi-
zation of Detroit. Her other
survivors are another son, Jo-
seph; seven grandchildren and
three great-grandchildren.
Her husband, the late M. B.

CONGRATS to B e n and
Blanche Rich on their first fam-
ily addition . . . At the Harper
Hospital, after his sweat and
finger-nail tribulation had set-

What fathers have to go through!

poor men have it hard!"

GREASY-PANNED GALS of
Windsor Junior Hadassah at-
tempted a ministrel show . . .
Doris Adelman was a stage-
frightened interlocutor and most
of the show consisted of first-
time vocalizing with a sprinkled
amount of quips . . . Although it
was a bit weak, the girls worked
very hard and deserve a lot of
credit for trying . .. Pvt. Benno
Levi, former staff member at
The Jewish News, was a visitor

Dorn, Miss. . • . Marty Mitchell,
of the Michigan Theater orches-

frequent pair . . . Hy Golden,

Marty as "Brother-in-Law."

AARON KLAUSNER, ass't
A.Z.-A. director, returned from
his trip smacking his lips and
saying that the best kosher
salami can be found only in
Canada . . . We'll have to differ
with him, and A.Z.A. office girl,
Virginia Weiss, can back as . . .
She was suffering from a case of
hoarseness, recently, and could
talk only in a whisper . . . After
eating one of the local variety,
something snapped and there
she was—able to talk again! .. .
A/C Bernie Rothstein says the
pilots-to-be in training at James-
town College, N. D., are so air-
minded that they go around
waving their arms and making
lip sounds of a whirling propel-
ler.

THE BOYS OVER THERE
probably wouldn't mind being
taken off a salary basis and paid
on piece-work instead—or so
much per head!
