,41paimpsoim, THE DETROI• JEWISH NEWS Solar Pond Danny Raskin's LISTENING POST MAX SOSIN was in Bis- cayne Medical Hospital, North Miami Beach . . . oc- cupying a semi-private room the day before he was to have a prostrate opera- tion . . . He suddenly heard a commotion outside . . . and a man in a wheelchair yel- ing, "I don't want this room!" . . . Turned out to be Nate Maxman . . . joking, of course ... They've been friends for 40 years. When Max is honored June 10 as Israel Bonds Man of The Year by Cong. Bnai David, it will be a re- peat performance for him . . . Max was Bnai David's first Israel Bonds honoree 19 years ago. IT WAS ALMOST 11 p.m. . . . hardly a time to need air in one's auto tire . . . especially since few gas stations go out of their way to give air nowadays . . . let alone do it when the station is closing . . . Luckily, we were near Charlie Robin- son's Shell Station on Nine Mile and Greenfield when the almost flat was noticed. Charlie wasn't there, but his employees are trained to give service at all times .. . and so the much-needed air was received without a sec- ond word . . . except advice not to remove the nail until next day . . . and at a station with air. Thanks to Charlie and his employees for not forgetting that service is still number one. LES BALL, former De- troiter, has been elected chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Macy's Midwest . . . taking in Kansas, Mis.souri and Ohio . . .

WHILE WEEKEND va- cationing recently in Char- levoix with daughter and son-in-law Bunny and Dr. Allan Nickamin ... . Ann Woolf (Sammy) had a sore foot . . . Allan being a foot doctor wanted it wrapped in ice . . . which Bunny promptly did . . . Ann won- dered where she got the ice so fast . . . and found out when told her foot was wrapped in frozen hot dogs!

LOOKING BACK ON COLUMNS Of Yes- teryears. May 28, 1965 . . . "In front of her home on Coolidge and Northfield in Oak Park, Sally Green has a `Room For Rent' sign . . . Re- cently, she watched as a duck and four ducklings waddled on the lawn as though coming to rent the room . . . They had escaped from the zoo and created quite a turmoil stopping traffic as they strutted across the street, while picture-takers enjoyed a camera-clicking field_day. "The mother and ducklings were finally caught in the bushes of Sal- ly's home . . . and taken back to the zoo where the rent is free." July 2, 1965 . . . "Herman Slaysky has a Cadillac equipped with a Twilight Sentinel — a gadget that automatically turns off your headlights after you switch off the ignition . . . "The other night, he parked on a downtown street and a woman called after him as he walked away, 'Oh, mister, you left your lights on' . . . Herman timed it perfectly . . . Count- ing off the seconds he turned around, pursed his lips and loudly 'blew' out the head- lights . . . Far as he knows, the woman is still standing there, bug-eyed!" July 16, 1965 . . . "On his first visit to the zoo, re- cently, little Avery Marcus, son of Shirley and Roy Mar- cus, stared at a stork for a while, then turned to Roy and said, 'Gee, Dad, he doesn't recognize me.' " July 16, 1965 . . . " 'Ev- erybody's a comic today,' sighs TV gag writer and an- nouncer Rube Weiss .. . `When I asked my wife, Are you going to straighten up the house? she answered, Why — is it tilted?' " CONGRATS . . . to Shir- ley and Ray Abrams . . . on anniversary number 33. JWV Director WASHINGTON — Har- ris B. Stone has been named executive director of the Jewish War Veterans of America.
