LISTENING
POST
MEMORY BRINGS TO
MIND . . . when we lived on
Pingree and 12th St. years
back . . . Celebrities from all
walks of life used to come in
to the Cream of Michigan
Restaurant for a piece of
John's delicious banana
cream pie . . . We got to
know many of them quite
well along with former
members of the old Purple
Gang . . . It was because of
John's customers like these
that we had our first recol-
lection of an ambition . . . to
have shirts custom-made-
to-order for us.
Now, all these years later,
we are realizing what to
others may seem like a pre-
tty small ambition, but to us
was so very big ... When
Ernest Drucker and Execu-
tive Custom Shirt Makers
next to the Birmingham
Theater in Birmingham,
took our every body meas-
urement, the years seemed
to peel backwards very
rapidly to John and his
prominent customers . . .
Boy, what wouldn't they
have given for somebody
like Ernest around instead
of getting shirts from out of
town.
Who would imagine
that right here we would
have one of the country's
leading custom shirt
makers . . . People from
all over come to Ernest or
send him their shirts to be
duplicated . . . It's noth-
ing for him to take, for
example, someone like
Wayne Newton's shirt
apart, make a pattern
and return the garment
to him in Las Vegas after
sewing it back together.
Ernest is a David Niven
look-alike, and also has his
shirt pattern . . . Count
Basie's, too, among oodles of
celebrities from the worlds
of sports, show business,
politics, etc.
Executive Custom Shirt
Makers has given a one-
time 12th St. newsboy the
opportunity for another
niche in a life of fulfilled
goals . . . Thanks, Ernie .. .
even though all these years
we were under the false il-
lusion that a custom-made
shirt cost so very much more
than ready-made.
CONGRATS TO . . . Lois
and Sol Landau on their
30th wedding anniversary,
Dec. 12.
LITTLE 3 1/2-yea old
Jonathon asked grand-
mother Lee Shlom, "Bubbie,
why are you changing the
name of my store
(Jonathon's) to Evergreen?"
. . . and then answered his
own question. "I know. It's
because I'm getting bigger
and bigger so we gotta be a
man's store." . . . Ever-
green Men's Wear is at
Evergreen and 12 Mile in
the Evergreen Plaza.
ELLEN AND LEO Gol-
denberg have a triple cele-
bration coming up . . . 35th
wedding anniversary .. .
plus birthdays of daughter
Linda and Leo . . . the same
week.
SOL AND ELAINE
Lewis have a bet . . . very
important to the health of
both . . . and a big together-
ness working on love for
each other . . . If Sol loses
weight by the time Elaine's
birthday comes around in
February, she will stop
smoking cigarettes (pack a
day) . . . Knowing these tlo
very wonderful people for so
many years, we can say for
certain both will keep their
parts of the bargain . . .
They mean so much to each
other.
Sol is director of the
Michigan Metaphysics
Society . . . and a quick-
witted, most humorous per-
son . . . Back in 1966, friend
Sammy Weiner was playing
golf with Sol and asked him
the club he should use for a
hole-in-one . . . Sol said a
seven iron . . . Sure enough,
Sam got an ace!
Sol's brother, Iry "Shnoz"
Lewis, is back after five
years in Hawaii . . . One of
the best trumpet players in
the country at one time, Iry
has been writing songs for
commercials . . . Has very
clever ideas.
NOW THAT telephones
can be purchased from any
source, not just the phone
company, providing they
are FCC registered, two
Southfield women, Beverly
Benderoff and Joyce Blum
have opened a business
called Party Line . . . They
sell every kind of phone im-
aginable . . . at 20 percent
off.
One woman called be-
cause her sister, who lives
in Israel, wants a very inex-
pensive phone to put in the
third room of her tiny
apartment . . . She said that
it didn't even have to ring
because the rooms in the
apartment are so close to-
gether . . . Sure enough,
Party Line even has phones
that don't ring.
Beverly and Joyce work
by appointment and can be
reached at 352-8288.
WHEN LOU BARDEN,
local attorney, recently
spoke at the luncheon of
Brandeis Chapter, Bnai
Brith, his subject was
"Jewish Humor — What's
Funny About It?" . . . A
woman came up to him af-
terwards, says Lou's Tikvah
Lodge President Phil
Kramer, and said, "After
my brother Max (Sosin),
you're the best."
Lou has been in big de-
mand as a speaker . . . When
the Livonia Jewish Congre-
gation Sisterhood asked
him to return for their
fund-raising event, Feb. 25,
Loll said he'd be out of town
on "that day . . . so they
changed the date to March
4.
A good laugh is sunshine
in a house.

Bad Statistics
HOUSTON (JTA) — Prof.
Leonard Fein of Brandeis
University told 120 mem-
bers of the Board of Trustees
of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations at
their semi-annual national
meeting here that one-third
of all Jews who marry today
take a non-Jewish mate,
that the Jewish divorce rate
now equals that of the popu-
lation at large — 38 percent
of all first marriages fail —
and that the Jewish birth-
rate of approximately 1.4
children per family is below
the national average of 1.7
and below the replacement
level.
