The British played it while leaving Lexington, after the first battle of the American Revolution. The Americans heard it and were grateful for it. It helped foster the American spirit. The song spoofed the Americans a bit. It depicted Americans as rather simple countrymen who did not know what real fashion was but Americans liked it for this quality — its democ- racy. _ 273-0750 lk 493-9240 I\ Bet. 6 & 7 Mile Rds. 869-5674 •• • 411• • • • • • • • • • JAKK • • • • • • • • RESTAURANT & LOUNGE 25234 GREENFIELD, N. of 10 Mile. • • GREENFIELD CENTER 961-3922 • MON.-SAT. • • • • DINNERS 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. • • • BUSINESSMEN'S LUNCHEONS • • MON.-FRI., 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. • • • • BY SPECIAL REQUEST OPEN SAT.

POINT AFTER DELI 26400 W. 12 MILE AT NORTHWESTERN oN 355-3733 Racgdetime Bldg.) Yankee Doodle was ac- tually written about 20 years before by a physi- cian, a Dr. Shuckleberg, attached to British head- quarters. It has been said he was Jewish. It may well be. The name sounds Jewish and there were many Jewish physicians. Philip Moses Russell, the physician at Valley Forge with Washington, was a Jew. Another early- American to compose a popular hit was John Howard Payne, who wrote "Home, Sweet Home." His mother, Sarah Isaacs, was Jewish. During the Spanish American War, a composer — I believe his name was Harris — wrote "Tell Mother, I'll Be There," which was a great favorite among the soldiers. The mother theme is al- ways popular with the young fellows going off to war. The same writer also composed a song "Matza Balls," which wasn't as much a success as a song as it is for a food. However, he scored another popular hit with "After the Ball Is Over." Irving Berlin's "0 How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning," was very popular among the soldiers of World War I, who shared his dislike for getting up to shoot so early. Berlin's "God Bless America" has become a kind of national anthem, second only to the "Star Spangled Banner." Berlin's father was a can- tor. The Hazan or cantor is a great force in Jewish wor- ship. Among the churches, we hear of people going to hear the sermon of the minister, but this was rarely the case in the synagogue. The rabbi, to be sure, is important, but in the traditional synagogue, the Jew did not usually go to hear the rabbi preach. How- ever, many did go to hear the cantor sing. Also in the synagogue, the cantor is not the only one who sings. Every Jew is a kind of amateur cantor. The Jewish worshipper does not so much recite the prayers as sing them. He may not have a good voice, and his tune may be off, and his voice squeaky or hoarse but it doesn't matter. The important thing is he must put feeling in the words and so he gives forth, virtually often composing his own tune. All Jews are really composers of a sort. Someone said, I care not who makes the law of a country, if I can make the music. Music is a powerful thing. It is a kind of reli- gious force in itself. The term religion comes from the Latin, meaning "to tie together." That's what music does. Words may often divide, but music al- ways ties people together. Wealth gotten by vanity ,• shall be diminished. (The Best of Everything) (Continued from Page 33) ionable,' she says. 'I haven't put by finger on it yet.' "She notices that more and more young people are going into fine restaurants, opening small but ambiti- ous units on their own or with sjlent partners. "To young people in the industry with this par- ticular aspiration she has the following words of advice: 'Be aware of the necessity of being in your restaurant full-time. Know the hazards. Know the technical necessities, like how to cost food. Know what food tastes like. Spend five years in France or Italy, if possi- ble, developing your pa- late.' '" 'Know how not to exceed your limitations. Know what can be produced in your facility and with your staff.' "As a personal prefer- ence, Mimi Sheraton hates to be served what can't be served at its best. She thinks fine-dining restau- rants should never serve tomatoes after the middle of August ,and before the be- ginning of the following June. " 'A token • tomato is a compromise that shouldn't be made. Let your guide be what's good, not what people expect." "In the industry, she thinks there will be a re- surgence of American regional cooking a few years hence. She sees a void that should be filled. 'Why can't we have a good Creole res- taurant in New York or a good Southern restaurant in San Francisco,' she asks. "Like many patrons of fine-dining restaurants, Mimi Sheraton takes her restaurant experiences seriously. But she isn't without a sense of playful appreciation either. " 'To me a curtain goes up whenever I walk into a restaurant,' she says. 'Even though I like to cook, I eat out almost seven nights a week. Some people might get Study in Israel Goal for Youth JERUSALEM (JTA) — The first among the 8,000 youth expected to arrive this summer on the Jewish Agency "summer project" are in Israel. Some 100,000 Jewish youth have visited Israel since 1948 in the "summer projects." This year, the visits will emphasize education and not tourism, Avraham Katz, head of the Jewish Agency's youth and hehaulutz department said. The common denominator of the various courses the youth will take is the deepening of knowledge on the subjects of Judaism and Zionism. Four flags have flown over Michigan — French, English, Spanish and United States. • tired of it, but I can hon- estly say I never do. " 'I'm always interested in seeing what's going to un- fold. How someone will serve a particular dish. How it will taste. What someone will say.' "Sheraton calls the food- service business 'the most fascinating in the world,' but she admits she herself couldn't take restaurant life as a career. " 'The work is too hard. It is too arduous. You are at the mercy of a capricious, mercurial market. Everytime someone tells me they are going to open up a fine-dining restaurant, I think whatever in the world for. There's no margin for error.' "But then without someone taking these par- ticular risks, Sheraton would have to agree, there would be no curtains ris- ing." The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vapor driven to and fro; they (that seek them); seek death.
