Norm Weisman

(Continued From Prev. Page) a great friend of Herb and Dorothy. All the Wiesmans from here were there, visiting my sister! The Sudranskys say hello to all relatives and friends here! FLASH! I’m working on a ‘black’ light bulb! When you turn on the switch, the room turns dark! And I just spelled a word that has over one hundred letters in it — it’s POST OFFICE! (the joke doesn’t have a “zip” either!) Congrats to A1 Ruben, who is now president of Park Regency, and to a great community worker, Dr. Ed Gabovitch, who is slated to serve another term as president of the Federation! A kiddie

ALSO, Beth El bowling league starts Sept. 9! Call the president, Harry Bunn at 293-6759 if interested! HERE’S A DILLY! A talking dog was on a Caribbean cruise doing a show. One night a magician was putting on his act, making things disappear and other tricks! The talking dog was watching from the sidelines. After each trick by the magician the dog would yell out, “Fake! Fake!” Just then the ship hit a mine, exploded and it sank! The only thing left was a long plank. The magician was hanging on one end, the talking dog on the other. After looking at the magician for awhile, the dog yelled: “Okay, wise guy, what did you do with the ship?”! FLASH! I had my ‘fan’ club meeting yesterday. The place

was packed! BOTH of them showed up, and then we went to the meeting place! The TELEPHONE BOOTH was large enough for my ‘fan dub’! Thanks to my ‘fan’ club, both of them! FLASH!

Best wishes to a swell guy, Shel Swedarsky, formerly of the Jewish Welfare board, in his new profession of Sales Consultant, with his winning formulas and seminars! Last week, Shel was the guest speaker at the Scottish Rite membership kick-off dinner! More about Shel later! FLASH! It’s getting closer! The biggest and bestest show, starting Nov. 7! “Ankles Away,

‘85”! I promise you that you will be singing the songs of the show, and the enthusiasm of the performers is catching! All local IHC members, but it’s for the whole community! I can’t talk yet, but wait until you hear who the director of the show is, and be surprised! He is from New York. Several years ago, “Ankles Away, ‘83” was the talk of the town! Names of some of the surprise actors and actresses will start appearing! Take a tip —see it twice! FLASH! A grand ending joke! An elderly couple were celebrating the wife’s birthday. The wife told her husband; “Sam, go out and get me a chocolate fudge sundae with whip cream and a cherry on top! Mark it down so you won’t forget!” “I won’t forget,” he said. She repeated: “Mark it down, or you will forget!” And hubby said: “I won’t forget!” He came back and hour later with a little brown sack! The wife opened the bag, and there were two bagels! The wife said: “See, I told you to write it down or you would forget!” Hubby says: “What did I forget?” and the wife says: “You forgot the cream cheese!”.

Israel is setting for romance novel

(Continuedfrom page IN 1) he’d already talked to the Senior Editor, and they wanted me to start work on it immediately.” That third book, With Open Arms, depicts the Amish of Elkhart County, and will be released in February, 1986. Although Mrs. Alerding has been actively writing short humor pieces in her spare time for over twenty years, it wasn’t until her husband insisted she concentrate solely on fiction writing that she was able to turn her over-active imagination into a full-time career. Her humor is now integrated into the very “real” romances she writes. “Dell’s Ecstasy romance line is pioneered a new dimension to romance writing,” Mrs. Alerding explains. “They want more realism, more plot depth. My editor is encouraging me to experiment beyond the traditional boundaries of contemporary romance. It’s very demanding, but the results appear well worth the effort. I’m really anxious to hear my readers’ reactions.” And how does humor fit in books that address everything from cultural displacement to accepting the inevitable? “Even in the most welcome relationship conflict there should be some humor; humor can lend objectivity.” Still, Mrs. Alerding is estatic because Dell wants her to produce light, extremely fun-

ny romances, too. “Bending The Rules has a strong central conflict, but the plot is purely bananas. My editor said he laughed all the way through the manuscript. ” A fifth book, scheduled from completion after the Israelbased story, will again be set in Hoosier state — at Old Metamora, the historic State canal village near Brookville, Ind., where the Alerding’s own and operate an art and crafts shop. “I have wanted to write a humorous romance set in Metamora ever since we discovered the village years ago,” Mrs. Alerding commented. “The story will be about two zany artists — trying to get away from it all.” And what does the future hold? “I’m working, in collaboration, on a mainstream, historical novel based on French Lick at the turn-of-the-cen-tury.” Her collaborator is Marcia Kruchten, another Indiana author who lives in Bedford. Mrs. Alerding will appear on Dick Wolfsie’s Night Talk program on August 30 (Channel 59 - WPDS.) The public is welcome to join me uve audience program which will feature Mrs. Alerding, as well as two other Indiana romance writers, and a professor from Indiana University. They will be discussing the popularity of romance novels and daytime soaps.
