THE FAST-MOVING pace,
original script and music, plus
an outstandii4,- array of talent,
all contributed toward making
this year's show by the Youth
Education League a tremendous
success . . . "Women! ! Wom-
en! ! Women! !" was the title of
the fine amateur production put
on by the members of this won-
derful organization, last week,
in the Scottish Rites Cathedral
of Masonic Temple . . . follow-
ing the 13th annual pledge,fund
luncheon attended by 1,200 gals
who really had an afternoon
they won't be forgetting for a
long time . . . The amazingly
professional-like show was a
credit to the hard work put
into it . . . and again merited
one of the top-billings in the
community for such a presenta-
tion.
TO . HELP FURTHER the work
of Youth Education League,
whose prime function is aiding
youngsters six to 16 years of
age, $12,000 was raised . . . The
group's many other services,
which include help against
Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retarda-
tion, and a host of other worthy
causes that affect children . . .
all summing up to an organiza-
tion of which our community
can well be proud.

IN TOWN, RECENTLY, to
visit relatives, Harry Selig, one
of the most successful writers
of gangster ,scripts on the Coast,
told how he learned angles in
the hard school of experience
. . . Although born in Detroit,
on Benton and St. Antoine, he
explained that the neighborhood
in which he grew up in New
York was so tough that when-
ever a cat stalked down the
street with ears and a tail,
everybody knew it was a tourist
. . . Hardboiled kid who lived
next door to Harry poured a pan
of water on a passerby, and
shouted a number of -interesting
four-letter words as an accom-
paniment . . . The infuriated
passerby yelled, "Come down
here and I'll beat the tar out
of you." . . . "Come down?" re-
peated the offending brat.
"You're nuts. I can't even walk
yet."

MANY OF YOU MAY have
heard the story, told in a some=
what different way, about a ra-
conteur n Haifa beginning a
funny story at a dinner party
with the standard introduction.
"It seems there were two Jew-
ish gentlemen . . ." . . . A sen-
sitive guest objected. "Why," he
demanded, "do so many stories
begin 'Once there were two
Irishmen,' or 'Once there were
two Jews'?" . . . "Okay," soothed
the raconteur, "I certainly in-
tended no offense. Let's say
there were two Chinese, named
Ling Pu and Fo Wang. So, Pu
and Wang were hustling over
to the synagogue for a bar mitz-
vah ceremony . . ."

Reshevsky to Appear Here Twice
In, Exhibitions of Chess Mastery

Samuel Reshevsky, called "the
grand master of chess," will re-
turn to Detroit this week to play
two scheduled exhibitions in the
area.
Under the auspices of the
Jewish Community Center Chess
Club, Reshevsky will play 40
opponents in simultaneous com-
petition at 2:30 p.m., Feb. 28, at
the D. W. Simons Branch, 4000

Reshevsky, who was once world
champion, but lost the crown
by a small margin to the Rus-
sian champion, attended high
schOol in Detroit. He currently
calls New York his home.
Starting to play the game at
the age of four, Reshevsky was
extremely proficient by the time
he was six. Many of the long-
time chess players will remem-
ber young Sammy when he first
came to this country at the age
of nine, and even then able to

Polo expert Jack Ivory explains
the difference between polo and

Mogilover to Hold Banquet

beat many of the best chess
players in the city.
Strangely enough, Reshevsky
was started on his career in his
native Ozorkov when the Ger-
mans, during World War I. over-
ran the city in Russian Poland.
The conquerors heard tales of
the prowess of a young boy by
the name of Samuel Rzeszewski
(he changed it after coming to
this country). He was brought
to play against leaders of the
invading Germans and attracted
much attention.
Following the war, he went on
an exhibition tour in Europe, be-
fore coming here. He attended
Northern High School, and stu-
died accounting at the Univer-
sity of Detroit, before he left to
receive his degree at the Univer-
sity of Chicago.
Chess players who wish to
play against Reshevsky are urg-
ed to contact the D. W. Simons
office, TR. 5-8450. A reduced
rate is being offered to students.
