Composing Plans for Artist Concert

LISTENING

50 YEARS AGO, Dora Woll
heard about a handsome fellow
who hung around the pool hall on
Hastings St. . . . She went with
some of her girl friends, walked
by and was introduced ... It was
the beginning of a courtship that
wasn't to last long . . . because
they were married soon after .. .
and Nov. 30 will celebrate their
golden wedding anniversary . . .
Actual marital date is Jan. 30, but
ex-Detroiter Dora and Max Les-
nick, now living in Miami, came
here for Thanksgiving and their
children will have a party in honor
of the 50 blissful years . . . 13
grandchildren and two great
grandchildren have been given to
Dora and Max by Sylvia Pearl-
man, Ann Carron, Julius Lesnick
and Dr. Sol Lesnick.

SOME WHILE BACK, Sid Nick-
in, Windsor department store head
living in Oak Park, was in the
hospital with an illness that
sapped his entire energy . . .
Nurses took him by the window
where he looked out at four strong
men digging ditches . . . Sid re-
marked that he would give any-
thing to have their strength . . .
Today, nothing stops him . . . he
has it to burn, and uses it to good
advantage toward helping un-
fortunate people- .. . Sid, an ama-
teur magician among the finest,
opened the show at the recent
reunion of the Detroit Rehabilita-
tion Center, and was stepping in
high show biz company . . . Almost
1,700 patients and alumni watched
Sid perform for 35 minutes, fol-
lowed by comic Myron Cohen,
pianist Oscar Peterson, actor Ed-
ward Everett Horton, TV song-
sters The Human Beings and oth-
ers . . . All were professionals ex-
cept Sid, whose efforts are con-
centrated day and night toward his
fine workings on behalf of all
charitable causes.
