Simons' Communal Services,
JNF Acclaimed at Testimonial
This community's acclaim went
to t h e pioneering Zionist cause
and to one of Detroit's most dyna-
mic leaders at a testimonial din-
ner at the Sheraton Cadillac, Wed-
nesday night.
Leonard N. Simons was ac-
claimed by 500 people who gather-
ed to pay him honor for his many
communal services, and the Jew-
ish National Fund, sponsor of the
event, was accredited with the
great pioneering land redemption
efforts in Israel.
In recognition of the services
rendered by the Simons', a forest
will be planted in Israel in the
names of Leonard and Harri-
ette Simons, on JNF land. The
presentation of the certificate in-
dicating the honor and of a meg-
illah as a gift was made by Abe
Kasle, who was joined by the
guest speaker, Dr. Nelson Glu-
eck, president of Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of Reli•
gion; Maxwell Jospey, dinner
chairman; Judge Theodore Le-
vin, toastmaster; Judge Burton
Shifman and Hyman Safran in
paying honor to the Simons'.
In his response to the encomia,
Simons recalled that he was pro-
vided with coins by his mother to
help fill her Blue and White JNF
Box that was among the prized
items in their home.
Pointing to the popularity of the
JNF among the masses of the Jew-
ish people, he pointed out that "the
Jewish National Fund augments
the gigantic fund-raising cam-
paigns we Detroit Jews put on
each year of which over half goes
for the aid of our brethern over-
seas."
Thanking his friends for the hon-
ors accorded him, Simons expressed
Israeli Minister to Seek
Tax Exemptions for
Religious Institutions
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Dr. Zerah
Warhaftig, Israel's minister for
religious affairs, told Parliament
that he planned to ask the Cabi-
net for legislation to exempt Jew-
ish religious institutions, particu-
larly y e s h i v o t, from customs
duties and purchase taxes.
He noted that Christian religious
institutions in Israel now have
this privilege and that there was
no reason for discriminating
against the Jewish institutions.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
G
EORGE ORWELL, author of the memorable "1984," once
told an interviewer that 'the principal reason he wrote
books was that his old fifth-grade teacher might see his
work and be remorseful
that she'd misjudged him.
After Moss Hart had
made a fortune with a
series of Broadway smash
hits, he, too, journeyed
up to the Bronx to show
his old public school prin-
cipal (a man who had
predicted nothing but di-
saster for him) h o w
wrong that estimate had
been. The principal rec-
ognized him at once. "Ah,
Hart," he rasped. "What
are you coming round
here for again? You're
wasting your time. I won't lift a finger to help you.

There's a town in Illinois named Normal and another not too
many miles away named—no kidding—Oblong. And when a boy
from one of these communities chose as his bride a girl from the
other, the headline writer for a Chicago newspaper did just what
you'd expect him to: he captioned his story, "NORMAL BOY
WEDS OBLONG GIRL."
OVERHEARD:
At the San Diego zoo, Neil Morgan would have you believe that
an amorous tiger was rebuffed by his wife, who demanded harsh-
ly, "Where have you been prowling? You reek of gasoline."
At Newark Airport, Jackie Curtiss heard a newly commissioned
pilot tell a stewardess, "I just saved the lives of 47 passengrs. I
refused to take off."

He told of his findings which indi-
