Danny Raskin's

LISTENING

P

TURNING BACK THE clock 40
yea ra ago took place at the recent
mariage of Julie Levin to Danny
1 ..tranadier ... While Sammy Woolf
was on the bandstand with Hal
Gordon's ork, he noticed the famil-
• iar face of a man sitting in a wheel
chair . . . Sammy went over to
ay hello and shake hands with
id friend and fellow performer
Edelstein . . . It was during
prohibition back in 1928 at the old
Din & Racket Club on Wayne and
• Lafayette that Sammy and Ben
• worked together .. Sammy sang
and Ben, who was affectionately
known as "Frisco," sang and
danced . . . Sammy called on Ben
to sing . . . and with microphone
in hand from the wheelchair in
front of the bandstand, "Frisco"
brought back tears of nostalgia as
he began to sing . . . Although
dealt a severe blow by being rele-
gated to life in a wheel chair, Ben
could still smile from a brave pil-
lar of strength that lies within a
soul that has never said quits .. .
This courageous man who was
once known as "Rubber Legs
Frisco" would also have danced
as in the old days with Sammy
except that he no longer has any
legs.
SOLOMON LUMBERG celebrat-
ed his 90th birthday last week .. .
at a party given by his children
. . . Sally Feldman (Abe), Rhea
Frank (Harvey), Lucille Baron
(Fred), Pauline Winer (Harry) and
Barney Lumberg . . . Solomon is
very active with the Senior Citizens
of Oak Park, an enthusiastic gen-
tleman full of life who does all his
housework and even cuts the
shrubs around his home.
CHILDREN'S DEPT. . . . Post-
card received by Marcia and Julius
B. Rubin from eight-year-old son
Melvin, spending his first summer
at camp . . . "Dear mom and dad.
I am not having a better time than
I thought I would."
IN ANSWER to our column re-
quest of last week, the letter from
France addressed to our home for
a Cheryl Raskin has been picked
up . . . She is the 16-year-old
daughter of Doreen and Eliot Ras-
kin (no relation) and the letter
was from a pen pal she obtained
through her French class at Oak
Park High School.
AFTER BUYING A pair of
stretch pants, a community gal
eagerly awaited her hsband's com-
ment about her appearance . . .
"They make your feet look big,
too."
ELI SPRINGER had a fare- hud-
dled in a corner of his cab's back
seat, comfortably wrapped in a
stupor . . . After a session of just
cruising about on orders given by
the wobbly gent, Eli asked where
now . . . "Just go around the
ick," mumbled the inebriated
nt . . • When Eli wearily stated
that it was all he'd been doing for
the past hour, the drunk drooled
about that being the probable rea-
son for his dizziness . . . and told
Eli to turn around and go the other
way!
DON'T BE SO concerned about
our teen-agers . . . Sure, they
spent over 11 billion dollars last
year, but they earned 80 cents out
of each dollar . . . Those who say,
"We never had it so good" are
just jealous, eh kids?

Dave Newmark Turns Pro ... Maccahiah and ABA Stars

Just when people at Columbia
University were thinking things
couldn't get worse, Dave Newmark
turned pro. A seven-footer from
Brooklyn, Newmark had led the
Lions to the Ivy League title and
was expected to at least equal
that this coming season. A lucra-
tive three year contract offer from
the Chicago Bulls of the NBA,
however, persuaded the 245-pound-
er to give up his last year of
college eligibilty and give the
Bulls the height they need so des-
perately.
Dave, a member of the winning

1965 Maccabiah Games basketball
team, won't be the first Jewish
boy from Brooklyn to play pro
basketball in Chicago. Max Zas-
lofsky, present coach and general
manager of the New Jersey Ameri-
cans of the ABA, played with the
Chicago Stags for four years,
made the all-star team each time
and led the league in scoring in
1948.

Newmark's attorney at the con-
tract negotiations, Nat Militzok, is
a former Hofstra and Cornell play-
er and an old pro. Militzok was
