In Polio •Epidemic
Melvin Haber, of 2247 W.
Grand Ave., 25 years old, who
had served with the 87th Infan
try Division in Germany, whence
he came back robust and well,
succumbed to polio at the Her-

He was interred at the Beth

in a letter to the family: Abra-

Haber, brother, and Mrs. Sam
Malkes (nee Shirley Haber), sis-
ter. The letter reads:
To the Haber family:
"It is with deep regret that we tended
these tokens of our great esteem and ad-
miration of Melvin Haber. Many of the
people represented below (33 signatures)
told me that Melvin was always cheerful,
kind and a gentleman. For my part I
will miss his sense of humor and his quiet
and efficient ways. The words alone are
only a poor expression of what we would
like to convey. Sincerely, Stanford W.
Kellogg.•

Try and Stop Me

kindness to a man, ask him
not to do you any harm in
return." A friend once told
him that a novelist was going
around town saying nasty
things about him. Kaufman
consulted a little notebook
and frowned. "That's very
strange," was his comment
"He doesn't owe me a cent?",
S
Kaufman says the hang-the-
expense attitude of present-day
hosts reminds him of the mo-
tion-picture magnate who found
a money clip containing three crisp thousand-dollar bills at Palm
Springs one day. The magnate threw the bills into the gutter, but
pocketed the clip with a joyful chuckle, explaining, "I've been looking
for one of these things for months."
At a dinner party, Dorothy Parker was irked by the antics of one
of those ladies of. fifty who dresses like a debutante, drooling over
an embarrassed colonel. Vaguely aware of a threat of mayhem in
the air, she giggled self-consciously and explained, "It's his uniform.
I just love soldiers." "Yes," agreed Miss Parker, "you have in
every war."

The young man learned his
father's instructions by heart,
then went calling on the girl
he desired. His first remark to
her was, "Dora, do you love
noodles ?" "Of course I do," she
replied. Now he had to talk
about family affairs, so he in-
quired. "Dora, do you have a
brother ?" "No, I haven't," she
answered. This left philosophy
to talk about. The young man
pondered the problem, then came forth with, "Well, Dora, let's sup-
pose you did have a brother. Do you think he would love noodles ?"

Forward Opposes Starr
In His Race for Council
The Jewish Daily Forward
and its Detroit manager, Joseph
Bernstein, have taken a strong
stand against the candidacy of
Isadore Starr for the Common
Council on the ground that he
was taken in by leftist, fellow-
traveler groups.
Mr. Starr said this week that
he will issue a reply soon in
refutation of the Forward's
stand.
Mr. Bernstein takes the posi-
tion that Mr. Starr is an in-
nocent victim of the leftists. His
endorsement by the Freiheit
which lists him as one of the
three ablest candidates is given
as sufficient reason for oppos-
ing him.
Mr„ Starr has served as presi-
dent of Nusach .Ari Congrega-
tion, is former president of Pis-
gah Lodge of Bnai Brith, former
president of Greater Detroit
Bnai . Brith Council, and now is
a member of the executive board
