MWRI • pearance of Sophie Tucker at
John Lurie
Nate Lurie
THE LITTLE GROCERY store
on Grand River and Quincy,
owned by John and Nate Lurie,
39 years ago, was to be the be-
ginning of one of the greatest
success stories in local history...
The brothers had borrowed $200
to start this small venture . . .
John had been a clerk in an-
other grocery store and Nathan
was selling cigars and tobacco
before undertaking what to
them was just a means of going
into business together ... About
14 years ago, they were able to
open another store at Chicago
and Meyers, one of the first
super markets . . . and picked
the name Wrigley's because it
seemed to be a good name that
stuck with the customers . .
The Wrigley Super Markets kept
growing out of accumulated
profits from folks who went all-
out for the super market idea ...
When World War II ended, John
and Nate had added 14 more
stores to the chain and started
to build 10 more . , That $2'00
loan, 39 years ago, has, today,
grown into a $75,000,000 business
. with 65 stores, including the
recently purchased Packers Out-
let stores . . making Wrigley's
one of the nation's largest super
market chains . . . and that little
grocery store on Grand River
and Quincy was only recently
sold by John and Nate . . . over
the objection of their mother,
Mrs. Ida Lurie, 80, who lives
with Nate at 15362 Grandville.

JOHN AND NATE are active
in the community . . John was
vice-chairman of the Food Di-
vision in the 1951 Allied Jewish
Campaign and is on the board
of the Detroit Service Group • < .
Nate was a member of this year's
pre-campaign AJC Cabinet and
is a staunch worker for the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation.

vice-president of the Wrigley
chain, was co-chairman of the
1950 Food Division with Morie

AT THIS YEAR'S Food Divi-
sion Dinner John Lurie was
toastmaster ... Fact is, though,
to this day, John still doesn't
think he is worth much as a
speaker . admitting that he
and Nate starting working after
finishing the eighth grade . .
But take it from others, he
really is quite a guy with the
words!

SAM RUBINER, back home
from his trip to Israel, tells of
spending a great amount of time
visiting various drug stores . .
which, obviously, is near to
Sam's heart since he is an offi-
cial in the Cunningham stores.
. • . One of the evidences of aus-
terity in Israel, says Sam, was
the fact that bottles were more
precious to the druggists than
many of the drugs themselves!
. . . Every customer had to give
a sizeable deposit . . . to make
certain the bottles were returned.

OUR RECENT TRIP to Chi-
cago was brightened by the ap-
the Chez Paree . . . During her
performance, Sophie sang a
song written by the composer
of "Yiddishe Mama" that caught
the emotions of the entire audi-
ence and brought a tremendous
ovation . . . After each perform-
ance, Sophie sat in the lobby
autographing her records and
record albums . . . She has given
over $600,000 to charity and
makes no bones about the fact
that her pet charities mainly
include "helping my own peo-
ple." . . . Ted Shapiro, pianist-
accompanist for the grand lady
of show business, who has been
with her for many, many years
says, "There just isn't anybody
like here and never will be.
Everything she does is from the
bottom of her heart. She likes
to help people because she has
never forgotten how her parents
had- to struggle for existence,
and of the times when she
didn't know where her next meal
was coming from. Sophie is a
great woman, on stage or off the
stage. ". . . Sophie is now ap-
proaching 70 although she'll
never admit it except to say,
"Son, I've been around a long,
long time."

THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO,
Mrs. Bella Simon took leave of
her family in Lithuania ... Her
baby sister, Asta. then five years
old, remained behind with the
family . . . The intervening years,
the war and Nazi barbarism
wrote their tragic history . •
One of Hitler's victims, Asta was
deported to Germany, where she
miraculously survived imprison-
ment in a concentration camp.
although here fiancee and an-
other sister were exterminated.
. . . Liberated finally by the
Americans, Asta began her
search for relatives . . . Her ad
in a New York Yiddish paper
brought contact with Mrs. Simon
in Detroit . . . who, next week,
will be re-united with the sister
she remembers as a baby ..
Mrs. Simon is the mother of
Harriet Simon, efficient calen-
dar secretary of the Jewish
Community Council.

NEW YORK—Four Christian
leaders joined in urging the
Committee on Foreign Affairs of
the House of Representatives to
extend financial aid to Israel
"fully commensurate • with its
great needs and great potential-
ities."
Dr. Henry A. Atkinson, honor-
ary chairman and under of
the American Christian Palestine
Committee; the Rev. Dr. Daniel
A. Poling, co-chairman; Dr.
Samuel Guy Inman, vice-chair-
man; and Dr. Carl Hermann
Voss, chairman of the Executive
Council, presented their views on
American aid to the Near East
in a statement submitted to Rep.
James P. Richards, chairman of
the Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs.
Expressing their views on be-
half of the 20,000 members of
the American Christian Pales-
tine Committee, they declared
their support for the McCor-
mack-Martin and Douglas-Taft
bills to authorize a $150,000,000
grant-in-aid to Israel.
They pointed out that Israel
is "a natural ally of the free
nations to whose security in the
threatened Middle East it can
contribUte in no small measure
by means of its uniquely high
standard of technological skill
and its trained and hardened
youth."

some folks a headache . . . but

So, if you don't mind, for just
another week, please don't ask
us to have a seat! ... They say

State-Wide Hunt Continues
For Leafleakoppipg Plane
Federal authorities and Mich-
igan State Police are combing
airfields in this area for a clue
to the identity of a mysterious
airplane which Sunday dropped
anti-Semitic leaflets near the
Automotive Tank Center in
Warren Township between De-
troit and Mt. Clemens.
Witnesses questioned a b o 0 t
the two raids, one, at 2:15 p.m.,
the other at 7 p.m., said the
plane was a red or maroon Stin-
son or Piper Cub, with the num-
ber NC364N on its wing. •
Police checking, all planes in
Michigan have not discovered
the owner's identity. It is now
believed that the plane is an
out-of-state craft.
FBI officials are checking the
plane's registration with Wash-
ington. The dropping of leaflets
is a federal offense. Crossing
state lines without notifying
authorities is another federal
count.
The Jewish Community Coun-
cil is cooperating with police in
the matter. Boris Joffe, execu-
tive director of the Council, re-
ported that the leaflets closely
resemble pamphlets distributed

by notorious anti-Semites in
previous years.
In cartoon form, the leaflets
show a picture of an Indian,
being pushed over a cliff by
Uncle S a m. Another picture
shows a bearded, black-
hatted, robed figure, obviously a
Jew: pushing Uncle Sam over
the same brink. In the last
frame, the caricature of the Jew
is holding aloft three flags—the
UN banner, -the hammer and
sickle and a flag bearing the
three-ball mark of the pawn-
shop.

in all its Tuesday editions, blast-
ed the tactics of the professional
hate group and the ideas it rep-
resents.
