One of Paul's Big Ideas
Continues To Reap Dividends

Local Columnist
aul Zuckerman al-
ways thought big
while he was alive .. .
Even while carrying bags of
sugar on his shoulders at the
"sugar house" where Paul
worked during Prohibition
. . . He took the big bags be-
cause they strengthened his
muscles . . . Years later, Paul
took a little peanut butter
company and built it into the
giant Velvet Peanut Butter
that years later he sold to
Sunshine Biscuit for big
bucks . . . And international
chairman of the United
Jewish Appeal, it was Paul's
big ideas that put more
millions into the much need-
ed coffers.
He was a staunch supporter
of the Michigan Cancer Foun-
dation . . . and I remember
his once telling me about the
offshoot group Paul wanted to
form among big contributors.
Not many people knew that
he had cancer at the time
when in 1985 Paul and wife
Helen hosted about 80 guests
at their home for a small
fund-raiser . . . He died
within a year.
This was the beginning of
Michigan Cancer Founda-
tion's Angels which recently
celebrated its fifth anniver-
sary with over $1 million rais-
ed for MCF . . . An added $1
million has also been raised
by Helen, her family and
friends.
Although Paul never lived
to see the true greatness of
his "just a thought" idea, it
is indeed a wonderful
memorial to him . . . and
under the guidance of Helen,
the Angels have grown into a
major communal fund-raising
stalwart.
Their fifth anniversary was
an "Evening of Elegance" at
the Ritz-Carlton where five
little girls with halos said
"Welcome To The Ritz" in
complete surprise to the MCF
workers . . . The little lassies
were daughters of Ritz-
Carlton employees.
"He better not get any on
me. This is my own tux," said
Iry Dworkin about Denny
Dent, who appeared painting
with both hands and as many
as eight paint brushes, all at
the same time in a fast-
frenzied display of amaze-
ment . . . To the accompani-
ment of their music, he did
four-by-six-foot portraits of
Billy Joel, Ludwig Von
p
Beethoven and John Lennon,
each in less than five minutes
. . . The time it took to play
the artists' most popular
work.
Helen Zuckerman was
given the one of John Lennon
. . . she is an admirer of the
late pop star . . . and the other
two went to persons whose
stubs were drawn . . . Iry and
wife Olga were at two affairs
in the Ritz that evening .. .

Paul Zuckerman's
ideas have added
millions to charity
coffers — both in
Detroit and Israel
years after his
death.

and Marty Kellman, Jackie
Gordon, Hy and Lucille Dorf-
man were all there.
Emcee Mort Crim introduc-
ed Dave Hermelin as "a man
of few words" and jokingly
added, "They told me not to
have any program, so I asked
Dave Hermelin to speak.
That's as close to no program
that I can think of. Dave
recently bought a cemetery in
Taylor, Michigan. Now, when
he takes people to dinner, he
writes it off as entertaining
prospective clients."
On stage, Dave hatcheted
back, "There's nothing that
can be said about Mort that
hasn't already been said —
behind his back."
The fun cutup and good-
natured ribbing by friends
Mort and Dave brought much
laughter.

glasses on end of his nose
while wife Susan and Dave's
friendly frau Doreen chatted
. . . Dave and Doreen did a
fast twirl on the dance floor
as Mark Phillips' fine band
ended its set.
It was a fun night . . . just
what Paul Zuckerman intend-
ed the group to have while
raising many dollars for
Michigan Cancer Foundation
. . . Paul's memory will never
die . . . Helen is making cer-
tain of that.
REMEMBER DONNA
Rosen? . . . The very popular
catering gal and manager of
former Jacques on Telegraph
is back at the former location
. . . now Morels . . . She is
assistant to Theresa
McWilliams, Matt Prentice's
managing partner there.
ITS DAYS HAVE seen
plenty of greenbacks, but now
the 1910 vintage cash
register at Byblos Lebanese
Carry Out on The Boardwalk,
Orchard Lake Road, is in
retirement as strictly a
showpiece . . . Was formerly
in Byblos' Highland Park
restaurant four years after
originally bought by Jackie
and Faouzi El-Chemmas at a
little ice cream shop in nor-
thern Michigan's. Indian
River.
ENLARGED, BEAUTI-
FUL quarters where Doug
Schubot shows millions of
dollars of jewelry has it all .. .
even the past . . . In his office
is the same Christian Decker
diamond balance used by dad,
the late Jules Schubot, when
opened in the Metropolitan
Building around 1942.
Doug uses an electronic
balancer but says he almost
always checks it out after-
wards on dad's old one.
Jules was only 16 years old
in 1917 as an usher in
theaters . . . and six years
later, at the famed Jesse
Bonstelle Playhouse, where
he also sold jewelry "out of
his pocket," Ms. Bonstelle told
him to get an office . . . which
he did on Madison Avenue in
downtown Detroit . . . In the
mid 1930s, Jules shared space
with another jeweler in the
Metropolitan Building . . .
and soon after, 807 Metro-
politan Building became a
noted place as Jules went on
his own and Jules Schubot
Jewellers became a name of
promience.
While Jules took care of the
business end, wife Baraga
was his "outside ambassador"
at the social end of the fami-
