Parents Left with Memories
of Son after Youth's Death

By CHARLOTTE HYAMS
By now, June 24 is just an-
other day recorded down at
police headquarters. And the
name of Solomon Wnuk is one
in another batch of accident
statistics.
But to a mother and father
whose lives revolved about their
13-year-old son, June 24 is the
day an automobile took the life
of their only child.
Even now, the Leon Wnuks,
of 15773 Wisconsin, are a • little
uncertain about the details of
the accident, unaware that wit-
nesses saw the boy turn his bi-
cycle off the sidewalk and into
the path of an oncoming car on
Puritan and Wisconsin.
They do know their boy died
in Mt. Carmel Mercy Hospital
three days later.
They know that the bedroom
in their downstairs flat is empty
but for the objects that remind
them of Solomon: the clarinet
he played as a member of the
Detroit All-City Band, the large
poster on his wall signed by all
the guests at his Bar Mitzvah
party at Shaarey S'homayim Syn-
agogue, the wooden note pad he
made at Post Intermediate
where he was in the 7A.
They know that the living
room no longer reflects the en-
thusiasm of a lively child wild
would practice his music lessons
while mother sang, who could
talk his dad's ear off while they
sat before the television set
holding his Bar Mitzvah pic-
ture: a sturdy, dark-haired boy
in talks and tefillin, looking like
an Enrico Caruso in miniature.
They know that the garage
never again will hold . the bi-
cycle he would grab right after
school, riding, every day for
several weeks, down to Mt.
Sinai Hospital to visit his father
ill with an ulcer condition; the
bicyle which, that very day of
the accident, had carried him

to school to pay tuition for sum-
mer classes.
It seems one couldn't help
liking this friendly young sci-
entist-to-be whose neighbor Mrs.
Esther Lewkowitz said of him,
"He was such a wonderful boy,
so smart and so good to his
parents." As a tribute to his
friendship, Solomon's class-
mates in 7A-21'7 bought two
JNF trees in Israel.
Although he hadn't studied
at Hebrew school since his Bar
Mitzvah in January (he at-
tended the Rose Sittig Cohen
branch of the United Hebrew
Schools), Solomon was proud
to be a Jew. Even in Germany
where he was born, the son of
two victims of Nazi persecution,
"he would boast that he was a
Yiddele," his mother said.
The Wnuks are a proud
couple. The Nazis couldn't
break their spirit, although
Leon Wnuk's entire f a m i l y
never returned from the con-
centration camps of Poland.
But even the proud must eat.
So daily, they return to their
little cleaning store on W. Chi-
cago, eking out the only living
Wnuk, a tailor, knows.
At least America grants them
this right. And it is as an Ameri-
can their boy died, a free Jew.

KOSHER MEATS

' Richard Sloan, prominent De-
troit young theater operator, is
gaining nationwide prominence
for his pioneering efforts in the
film industry.
Defying es-
tablished tra-
ditions — of
first runs in
downtown the-
aters — Sloan,
who operates
the Mercury
Theater, on
Schaeffer near
McNichols,
turned the
n e ighborhood
showplace into Sloan
a place of importance in show
business.
He began his revolutionary
practice when he brought
"Porgy and Bess" to this thea-
ter, 12 miles away from the
downtown area. It was a grand
occasion when the • best known
names in society were repre-
I sented in the opening night
turnout for the great movie's
first performance.
Now, pursuing his plan—
which has become acceptable to
Sam Goldwyn, and which no
doubt will have the endorse-
ment of all other producers—
Sloan brought to the Mercury
another great film, "Polly-
anna." Once again, all eyes are
on the Mercury.
Sloan is making his mark also
in the Jewish community. He
is a leader in Allied Jewish

Campaigns. He takes a deep in-
terest in investments in Israel
and has visited Israel several
times.
Richard Sloan shares his busi-
ness interests, in the theater
and real estate spheres, with
his brother, Gene. The business
was inaugurated by their father,
the late Sol Sloan, who was a
prominent Jewish leader here.
