shake loose . . . But if people
are aware, they will more
often than not give a new
owner his chance . . . This is
the case with Oriental Ex-
press carry-out on Orchard
Lake Road in Sylvan Lake's
Loading Dock Mall just past
Keego Harbor.

Its new owner, Ruijin Wu, is
a 26-year-old young man who
has already gone back to his
birthplace in Canton, China
. . . and returned with new
ways he learned about
Chinese cooking . . . He took
over Feb. 21 after having a
restaurant in Flint, China
Garden, which is now being
operated by his brother, Rui
Qi Wu, while dad, Houng
Peng Wu, is chef at Flint's
Moy Kong restaurant . . .
Their mother, Yi Jia Feng (in
China, when people marry,
they seldom change their last
name) is in the kitchen with
Ruijin at Oriental Express.
The Loading Dock Mall is
blessed with three popular
restaurants . . . Oriental Ex-
press Chinese carry-out,
Virginia's Middle-East sit-
down operation, and Sam
Zawideh's Dad Z' Amish
chicken carry-out.

commercials.
THE TRADITION goes on
. . . as Michael Cohen, present
owner of New Orleans Kosher
Meat and Poultry in New
Orleans Mall, 10 Mile and
Greenfield, celebrates the
10th anniversary and his
fourth year as sole owner, at
this location.
After graduating from
Eastern Michigan University
with a B.S. degree, Mike
decided that he liked the
family business and joined his
grandfather and father . . . At
age 37, he is the youngest of
a family of kosher butchers
that spans a period of 70
years, starting with his
grandfather, Louis Cohen,
whose original kosher meat
market was on Linwood in
Detroit and then moved to
Seven Mile and Sorrento.
This is where Mike's father,
Allan, joined the business on
returning from the army .. .
When his grandfather
retired, Michael stepped in
. . . Two uncles, Willie Cohen
and Sam Eisenstat, were also
kosher butchers.

HIS SON Brian, now 18,
said, "Dad, I don't remember
ever seeing your face before"
. . . After 15 years, Bob
Golding has shaved off his
beard . . . and now has a face
sans any foliage . . . wife, Dr.
Leslie Miller, likes Bob better
with it on . . . says the bristly
stuff gave him more character

LOOKING BACK On Col-
umns Of Yesteryears .. .
SEPT. 8, 1965 . . . "Asked
why she doesn't give up smok-
ing, Lisa Allen explains, 'Oh,
I would, but I'm afraid to. The
last time I quit they bombed
Pearl Harbor.' "
SEPT 19, 1975 . . . "Rib-
tickler is told by Ray Abrams
of Cushion 'n Cue spots .. .
about a huge airline with all
seats occupied, zooming over
the state insane asylum and
the pilot bursting into loud
laughter . . . 'What's so fun-
ny?' asked the stewardess .. .
`I was just thinking,' said the
pilot, 'what a commotion
there'll be in that joint when
they discover I've escaped.' "
ALLAN SCHWARTZ, The
Singing Window Washer, says

was invented by three Jewish
men . . . Hi, Norm and
