Tissue Paper and Clothes

We are proud of the artful cleaning and the
fine finish our pressing gives your clothes. But
nothing ruins our work like hanging on a
hanger in a crowded closet. So we stuff each
garment with tissue paper to help keep the fine
pressed finish. We stuff the sleeves, body and
collar with tissue paper so that the garment
will be ready to go when you are.

Skillfully Stuffed:

One of the many reasons why knowledgeable
customers say:
.
"MY Cleaners is my cleaners."

not hurting Domino's
"because we're not owned by
Domino's." The firm said it
was offering a free pizza top-
ping to any customer who
says "I love Ernie Harwell."
Benzman re-directed the
campaign against
Monaghan-owned stores in
Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor and
elsewhere in Michigan.
In addition, hundreds of
petitions expressing fans'
displeasure at the firing are
being collected by Benz-
man's stores for forwarding
to Monaghan and the Tigers.
But not all of Detroit
Jewry was angered by
Harwell's dismissal, in-
cluding at least three seniors
at the JPM Center.
"I think it (the publicity) is
just a ploy to get sympathy
from the public," said Larry
Aronsson of Southfield.
"What time of life are you
ready to retire?" asked
Harry Shiovitz rhetorically.
"Why blame the boss be-
cause, at a certain age, you
should step down and give a
younger guy a chance? I'm
sorry Ernie's not going to be
returning after 1991, but
you have to give the side of
the management, too. They
shouldn't be the bad guys all
the time."
"All I can say is, so what"
said Ralph Radner of
Berkley. "With all of the
troubles of the world today,

why worry about somebody
in sports?"
"The Tigers have every
right to fire him," said Loren
Sherman, 19, of Southfield.
"There was no contract for
life. Things change."
However, Sherman didn't
like the way Schembechler
handled the firing. "Bo still
don't know baseball," he
said.
Sherman's friend, Eric
Golden, also 19 and from
Southfield, felt the media
coverage was overdone and
"I wish they'd stop."
Ted Masserman of
Southfield, JPM men's
forum chairman, sounded an
optimistic note.
"I think the public will
rise to Harwell's defense and

he'll get a new contract,"
said Masserman. "The
Tigers rely on public support
and if they (the Tigers) sup-
port Ernie, he'll win support
for them."
And Steinberg, the Sinai
Hospital president, didn't
think the Tigers need to
build a new stadium, either.
"I'm an old believer in the
`field of dreams' and I
believe drawing fans is not
the purpose of a stadium,"
he said. "You can play ball
in an old, rickety stadium
and the people will be there.
Making money is a product
of the quality of the team.

ple will come." 0

Fellow Announcer Allen
Empathizes With Ernie

RICHARD PEARL

Staff Writer

A

nother veteran
baseball announcer
and fellow
Southerner who's been down
a similar road expressed
sympathy for Ernie Harwell
following the firing of the
Detroit Tigers broadcaster.
"Obviously, I'm surprised
and shocked," said Mel
Allen, a native of Birm-
ingham, Ala., who was
himself sacked as the voice
of the New York Yankees in
1964 after 25 years as their
play-by-play announcer. He
described Harwell, who's
from Atlanta in neighboring

Georgia, as "a very good
friend.
"I had the privilege of
voting" for Harwell's selec-
tion to the Baseball Hall of
Fanie in the early 1980s,
recalled Allen, a charter
member of the Cooperstown
Hall along with Red Barber.
"And Ernie is on the com-
mittee to select new in-
ductees," he added.
"Everybody holds him in
high esteem."
Allen, who is 76 : and Jew-
ish, said he hadn'f yet called
Harwell, 72 and Christian,
preferring to wait until after
Harwell celebrated
Christmas.
But, said Allen, "It seems
to me it's difficult to con-
