IRA KAUFMAN

known for his piety and for his
services to the Jewish community.
For a number of years he was a
voluntary mashgiah in the super-
vision of kashrut.
An interesting episode marked
his boyhood life in Detroit. His
father, in the course of making
milk deliveries, was thrown by the
horse that pulled his cart and
horse and wagon returned home
without him. His father, injured
seriously, limped home more than
an hour later, and Ira, then 13,
had to take over to make the milk
deliveries until his father's in-
juries were healed.
Kaufman recalls that at Pass-
over time, he, his father and the
rest of the family supervised
the hashgaha over the koshered
milk and were able to provide
the Jewish customers with
strictly Passover milk.
Ira Kaufman graduated from
Central High School in 1917 and
pursued higher studies in private
schools. For several years he was
in the pharmaceutical field. He was
in the hardware, appliances and
paint business before becoming a
mortician in 1941
Kaufman has served as presi-
dent of the Jewish Funeral Di-
rectors' Association of America.
Be also earned the honor of in-
vitational membership in the
National Selected Morticians.
Like his father, his sister and
the Rosenthal family with which
he always retained strong family

Try and Stop Me 1

By BENNETT CERF

HE LATE George Dixon covered the Washington scene
T
years, and both shocked and delighted
for
big shots from Presidents down with his irreverent reports

over twenty

of their frolics and pec-
cadilloes. One of his most
famous columns (syndi-
cated in over 100 news-
papers) contained the
story of a distinguished
four-star general's wife
who playfully pinched a
senator's derriere, and
when he wheeled around,
she murmured, "Oh, par-
don me! I thought you
were Mr. Justice Felix
Frankfurter!" J u s t i c e
Frankfurter chuckled ap-
preciatively. The senator
did not.

that Italian dish I'm so crazy about?" She replied tartly, "You
pronounce it just like it's spelled: Gina Lolo-brigidar
