Chicago, residents of this area are still talking about the troubles they hada week ago Funday, and are hoping that friends and relatives of theirs in the Chicago- area have not been • ,affected similarly. One of the prize stories that ' came to us after the flooded basements here was that of the man who stayed .home from' work Monday to clean up his basement. He had just fixed up recreation room costing sever- al thousands of dollars, a good portion of which was ruined by the backed-up water. Imagine his dismay, when the doorbell rang and there to greet him was a salesman—selling as- phalt tile for a recreation room. Another rather pathetic hap- pening was the troubles of a young lady, who was feted re- MICHIGAN'S FOUR LARGEST SELLING NEW YORK, (JTA)—Dr. Ja- The Yiddish awards were cob Shatzky, • Dr. N.

Dates• Plan Youth Party cently at two showers, and had bundles of valuable presents— you guessed it--in the basement. It was a profitable week for furnace and washing machine repairmen, a rather dismal one for many insurance companies who paid off thousands of dol- lars in claims. It was also a busy week rot the Oak Park Engineering Of- fice who answered hundreds of calls to investigate complaints of faulty construction. Actually, however, to the credit f the builders out this way, only one basement was not according to code. The rest were built solidly. It was just a matter of too much rain. The town council meeting was jammed with people the day af- ter the storm, and residents learned that the sewer system is adequate in taking care of all but severe storms. Plans for the construction of storm sewers over the next three to five years to protect residents against any sort of downpour were related. Insurance agents did a thriv- ing business, and are continuing to do so, in the aftermath of the storm, as most people learned that they were not covered against floods by their fire in- surance policies. A new form of complete cover- age which would include sewers backing up was released in Au- gust, but very few people were familiar with it, and even in- surance companies did not know too much about the policy. Now, with everyone wanting this po- licy and personal property float- ers, insurance agents are get- ting writer's cramp. 6—DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, October 15, 1954 CITY BANK ; WINES* ROYAL WINDSOR WINDSOR CLUB LA SALLE RED STRIPE LA SALLE CLUB First IN QUALITY First IN SALES FOR 20 YEARS * On Sale at Better Stores Everywhere 'Wines produced in Michigan LASALLE Wines & Champagne, Inc. FARMINGTON, MICHIGAN Madison Urges NAAWP Be Considered Subversive Harry T. Madison, national commander of the Jewish War VeteranS, has "recommended strongly" to Attorney General Herbert Brownell, Jr., that the National Association for the Advancement of White People, as well as Other organizations I which are fomenting discord and violence, be investigated with a view to determining whether they should be placed on the Attorney General's list of subversive organizations." Madison charged that the NAAWP "seems to be advocating principles that are in direct contradiction to the democratic spirit and ideals as well as to the basic tenets of our constitu- tion declaring equality and free- ' dom regardless of race, creed, or color." He charged NAAWP with "working to undermine the de- ' cision of the Supreme Court per taining to non-segregation in the school systems of the tnited States."
