Employees came from a variety of backgrounds, too. Morris was willing to give everybody a chance, though he admits he was a tough boss. "If a chef didn't look straight at me, I told him to get out," Morris says. "I was very strict. No monkey busi- ness." During the Depression, the Samuels brothers hired a cook, " a short guy with a big belly" who loved poetry. Formerly a chef at the Detroit Yacht Club, the new cook was paid $25 a week. The Samuels brothers also hired a man named Tommy, who said up front that he was an ex-convict. But Morris was willing to give anyone a chance, and his bet paid off. Tommy was an outstanding employee, he says. Then one day after a long absence Tommy came to work in tears, saying he'd just returned from St. Louis where his poor father had had his leg amputated. "Not long after, the FBI came by and started asking me all kinds of questions," Morris recalls. "A train had been robbed, $60,000, and some of the robbers had been spending the $100 bills. It seems Tommy had some- thing to do with it." Tommy was eventually convicted for his part in the robbery. But Morris bears no grudges. "If that guy came back I would still give him a job," he says. "That's how good he was." Eventually, Alex left the restaurant business and Morris brought in his son, Ira. They lived through hard times and stick-ups, and finally closed the doors of Samuels Brothers in February 1978. Like the restaurant, most of the Samuels brothers' rec- ipes are part of the past. They never wrote anything down, so the only "recipe" Morris has for his famous rice pudding is "14 eggs and a lot of rice." He says his wife does most of the cooking at the, Samuels home these days, and Morris doesn't like to eat out. "Today, every restaurant you go into it's the same thing," he says. "It's chicken this and chicken that. I don't believe in that. You're supposed to have your own style." ❑ I NEWS DAHLY 10-5:30 THURS. 10-7 SAT. 10-3 French Teachers Protest Questions DOLL REPAIR Antique & Modern Doll & Teddybear Restoration & Appraisals Doll Wigs, Clothes, Trunks, Display Cases & Accessories 74 Veil V4koet-a & 7,1, Saida% Stiafr Man.•Sat. 10.5 • Friday 10-8 3947 W. 12 Mile Rd. • Berkley 543-3115 "Where You Come First" Kosins Uptown Southfield Rd'at 11 1 /2 Mile • 559-3900 Big & Tall Southfield at 10 1/2 Mile • 569-6930 CLASSIFIED GET RESULTS! Call The Jewish News 354-5959 Paris (JTA) — The French Teachers Union is up in arms over a high school his- tory examination given in Toulouse which, they say, extols the economic progress made by Nazi Germany before World War II. "The subjects (of the ques- tions) led the pupils to praise Hitler's regime," the union contended in letters of pro- test to President Francois Mitterrand and the Edu- cation Ministry. But Pierre Cadars of the ministry's Toulouse branch in southwest France said the union had gone too far. "The pupils had occasion during the academic year to study Nazism, and they learned perfectly well that behind the appearance of economic success, there lurked a monstrosity," Mr. Cadars said. He added that, after all, the questions had not been written by French Holocaust rejectionist Robert Faurisson. But the teachers were not satisfied. They said it is im- possible that the commission controlling the curriculum and the persons in charge of choosing examination sub- jects were unaware of the kind of answers the ques- tions elicited. "We assume it was not a mistake, especially as those who wrote the questions belong to the local branch of the Ministry of Education, which the extreme right wing is known to influence," they wrote. Five exam questions related to the economy of the Third Reich included parts of a speech by Hitler to the Reichstag in 1939 and charts showing the improvement of Germany's economy since the Nazis took over in 1933. The students were re- quired to base their answers on that material which, ac- cording to the teachers union, conveyed the message that Hitler set Germany on the road to recovery from the depression and that fascism can resolve economic prob- lems.
