in our Classified Section
Service, which screens families to deter-
mine their need for free prescriptions,"
said Estelle Wainer, secretary-treasurer
of the APA.
"With the help of contributions by
members, various companies, and
friends of members, we also sponsor
Passover seders and Chanukah parties,
and donate to Yad Ezra [kosher food
bank], the Yeshiva [Beth Yehudah],
and a variety of other charities, and
sometimes we give pharmacy scholar-
ship money to Wayne State University
when we have sufficient funds," Wainer
said. "But we need more members to
build up the treasury"
Ro Pi Phi and Alpha Zeta Omega,
the Jewish pharmacy fraternities, have
active chapters at Wayne State Universi-
ty, the University of Michigan and Fer-
ris State University. They are the only
three colleges in the state with pharma-
cy curriculums.
Spielberg stressed that the APA did
not try to compete with any other
group, especially the Detroit Retail
Druggists Association, which encom-
passes all pharmacy owners.
"Remember, because of discrimina-
tion, a lot of Jews were unable to get
jobs with the big companies in those
days," he said. "Many of us got some
schooling as chemists and pharmacists
and took a chance at operating our
own stores. We then were determined
to have our own association."
The early members included "Pop"
Friedlander (the first president), Sam
Friedlander, Tullie Pomerance, Hy Mar-
golis, Ben Goldberg, Sam Stahl, Harry
Lipson, Harry Levinson, Lou Levinson,
Rubin Klein, Sam Chase, Sam Bez,
Morton Siegel, Irving Berlinsky, Harry
Berlin, Robert Schwarz, Morris Karbal,
Harold Elias, Aaron Karp and Charles
Tennen.
Spielberg began his career in 1924,
making $37.50 per week as an assistant
pharmacy manager. He later owned
Spiel's Drugs at Wyoming and School-
craft, and wound up at Wrigley's Drug
Store at Wyoming and Seven Mile near
Darby's Restaurant.
In "the old days," a college degree in
pharmacy could be obtained in two
years, with several chemistry courses.
However, a number of the independent
owners became pharmacists simply by
attending Cass Technical High School
in Detroit, which offered a strong phar-
macy curriculum.
Bertha Wasserman is a 25-year member
and past president.
It was easy for customers to remem-
ber the name of their friendly neigh-
borhood pharmacist — most were just
called "Doc." Said Wainer, "Many peo-,i
ple were poor, especially during the
Depression, and there was no health
insurance, so they couldn't afford to go
to a real doctor. Instead, they described
their illness to 'Doc' the pharmacist,
and he recommended something to
help take care of it."
Added Spielberg: "I guess all of us
