A FAMILY tradition has come a long way since its beginning when Jerry Efros This surprise was 7,500 sq. ft. and came gift wrapped. opened his first drug store back in 1949 on Geneva and Nine Mile in Oak Park. Three of his four sons have followed as pharmacists serv- ing three generations of customers. Howard and David worked in the second Efros store in New Orleans Mall, Southfield, which opened 1959 . . . Then came West Bloomfield Orchard Mall in 1973 . . . Son Barry joined the gang and in 1979 when the Farmington Hills Muirwood Square pharmacy was opened. Another son of Jerry and wife Ada is Arthur, who also knows his medicine . . . but as a physician. Jerry and his four sons are all graduates of Wayne State. JUST CAN'T understand why some people write me comments and don't give any identification . . . What a waste of time . . . They must know it's very fast food for the waste basket. "I NEVER play golf," says Joan Rivers. "I have more im- portant things to lie about." . . . "You've got to handle liars with understanding," says Joan, "and learn to read bet- ween the lyings. For instance, if a guy tells you he dabbles in oil, he's a gas station atten- dant. If a woman says her husband is a brain, liver and kidney specialist, he's a but- cher. If someone says, 'I'm really clicking big around town,' he means his dentures don't fit.' " ❑
