LISTENING
POST

IT'S BACK TO GOOD
chomping again for a grate-
ful reader of the column
. . . Day after The Jewish
News came out with our
Lost & Found Dept. telling
of a partial denture left at
Darbys Stanley Steamer
. . . the owner very happily
came in and claimed the
bridge . . . which was as
important to him as the
Ambassador is to the
United States and Canada
. . Leaving dental work at
Darbys Stanley Steamer is
just one of the many things
folks forget, says Bernie
Kerner .. . One guy walked
out into the snow without
his shoes and didn't realize
until later that they were
missing . . . The pair he left
with were health club clogs
. . . (his shoes must have
had holes in them if he
couldn't tell the difference!)
CELIA GLINTER,
95-year-old resident of Bor-
man Hall, Jewish Home For
The Aged, was crowned
Queen Esther at its recent
annual Purim program.
COUSIN DR. HER-
BERT RASKIN is a lead-
- ing psychiatrist, but enjoys
hearing jokes pertaining to
his profession : . . Like the
one about the fellow with a
distinct fear of telephones
. . . When they rang, he
just wouldn't answer .
But the psychiatrist took
care of that . . . After con-
siderable analysis the man
was cured . . . Now he an-
swers the phone whether it
rings or not.
FIRST INSTALLA-
TION lunch for a chairman
of the Senior Adult Council
was recent occasion at Jew-
ish Center on 10 Mile Road
.. . Sam LeSure is the in-
coming chairman
Lunch was catered by
Murry Leiberman, program
chairman every year .. .
with help of Ann Hoffman,
Betty Paradise, Yetta
Daitch, Bertha Mishcovsky,
Rose Swartz, Belle Wolf and
Ann Mentzel .. all volun-
teers . . .. Senior Adult
Committee Chairman
Charles Stone installed the
new officers.
OVERHEARD . . . at
Oak Park Library . . . eld-
erly lady to librarian . . .
"Will you please look up my
card and see if I've read this
book?"
ROMANCE DEPT . .
with Aaron and Shirley
Merzin taking over as
matchmakers . . . They
were in Florida and called
Shirley Gordon, a former
distant relative . . . Aaron
and Shirley took her to din-
ner and invited her to De-
troit for a week . . . She
came and stayed seven
weeks . . . After 17 year
living in Florida, Shirley
moved to Detroit . . . and
became the wife of Lou
"Desk-Man" Block . . . in a
gala Jan. 1 New Years Eve
party celebration . . . He
hadn't seen her in 35 years.
COCKTAIL RECEP-

TION honoring Helen
Wright and Donald
"Woody" Woodson . . . and
announcing their forthcom-
ing marriage, was held at
the home of Jerry and Con-
nie Walberg in Huntington
Woods.

HARRY PARTRICH of
O'Brien's Men's World, is
out of Redford Community
Hospital . . . In keeping
with name of his stores,
Harry wore a green robe in
the hospital on Mr. Patrick's
Day.
SEEING SIGNS . . . by
Sid Cheifer . . . in the
trinket department of a lo-
cal five and ten . . . "No
need for shoplifting at our
prices."

DISA 'N DATA . . . A.
Howard Block hardly recog-
nizable with the foliage
growth on his face . . . or
has it been that long since
we've seen him . . . Broth-
ers Joe and Rube Snider a
couple of very fine gentle-
men- . . . Thanks to Sam
Weingarden for the kind
words . . . but we're not in-
terested in doing a daily col-
umn . . . Why do some
squad cars hide and only
seem to be around when you
don't need (or want) them?
. . . Be nice to see the gum
ball machine-topped cars
driving around more often
. . . gives one a very safe
feeling of security . . . don't
you think? . . .

The super market Pas-
sover parade is starting . . .
and it's always real fun just
watching the gals shop for
their Passover goodies . . .
Don't wait until the last
minute for your 1976 license
plates . . .
Fellow had his convertible
top down while driving on
Southfield in last week's low
70's weather . . . A hitch
hiker motioned for a ride
. . . and the gent raised two
to signal that he was
only going a couple of blocks
. . . Thinking he said okay,
the hitch hiker ran over to
the car as it stopped for a
red light, didn't bother to
open the door, and jumped
right in . . . This is one of
the reasons why converti-
bles are being discontinued
. . . too easy to get into.
FAVORITE STORIES
. . . by Photographer Leo
Kiiight . . . about the boy
who had stolen a transistor
radio . . . The police
pounced on him and took
him to the station . . . He
was put in a cell with a
three-time loser who asked,
"What are you in here for?"
. . . I stole a transistor ra-
dio," said the boy . . .
"That's small potatoes,"
said the man. "If you want
to be somebody in this busi-
ness, you ought to do some-
thing big, something impor-
tant. Why don't you rob a
bank?" . . . "But," replied
the boy, "I don't get out of
school until 3:30."
