WEIL

NO RETRACTION Well, perhaps an objection is better than no reaction at all! Joe Tuchman confusedly found himself the object of congratulations following the reading of this column last week. It seems that some persons wrongly concluded that Joe was engaged when they heard he had “loaned” his fraternity pin—however, that is not the case. The case rests. WITH THE ARMY Standing lonesomely in A^res last week was Sam Azen—the one and only—just returned from a two week d—, er, pleasure trip in Chicago with Roy Brill. The two were celebrating Roy’s advent into the army, and Sam’s in the near future. Roy is now residing at Fort Thomas in Kentucky. Lucky boy. Most of the local Jewish Shelby soldiers were “back home in Indiana” over the holiday. Leonard Larman was taking life easy in his convertible; Harold Caplan back, playing an dff-again-on-again game with Annette Herman, or should I say mad-again-glad-again? Henry Podkin returned at a most opportune time, his birthday-—which was celebrated Saturday night in festive manner at Westlake with Marian Berger, Fred Tuchman (another visiting Shelbyite), Rae Lee Binzer, Marcie Goldstein and Benny Linder. Tales of camp life were many and varied. But ncf matter if the lads may not find it the easiest mode of life, there certainly is no doubt that it has given them all a fine healthy glow.

ROMEO

Melvin Unger and Billy Weinstein at the Pole last week, Bill just recuperating from a hasty trip to Evansville—reason? I said. “Juliette?” and he didn’t deny it, so I guess it was. SAFE AND SANE FOURTH? Celebrating the Fourth in a big way were Ruth Dorman and Morrie Greenberg, who were married in the afternoon. Ironic that they should wed on Independence Day. Morrie Cantor was the object of envious glances that evening when he stepped out with the bride’s cousin, Ruth Weisman of Chicago. “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve got” sang Bcrnie Hyman Friday, the fourth, which might just as well have been the thirteenth considering all the unlucky things that happened to Bernie when all he wanted to do was enjoy a picnic with his date, Mary* Louise Falender and some others. And with opposite good luck, Betty Helman Maurer won about $28 at Beverly Hills in Cincinnati Thursday night. Betty and Julie, Jack and Estelle Maurer, Harcld Stolkin, Sam Smulyan and Manuel Bell represented Indianapolis. Adele Gold, Mimi Bluestein and Evelyn Stein athletically watching their Detroit escorts playing games at Little America. Ruth Rosenthal with her family and Lou Silvers in Miami. Milt Fox and Marion Goldsmith at Turkey Run; also Max Stein and Emily Peltz. Joe Rabin, Eileen Satz, Sid Tzaacs. Leonard Berkowitz lonesomely eating at Sam’s Subway before his usual date with Sonny Miller. Marge Rabb on a trip through Wisconsin and Chicago. It’s hard to decide whether the lake, the trip, or the visit in Chicago in her cousin’s penthouse made Marge most enthusiastic. Butzie Olshewitz and Walton Sicanoff reunited with their buddy Art Goldberg in his new hometown. Herman Dieter visiting his brother for the holiday, preparing for a trip to Miami, and bringing news of Louisville to Naptown. Herman, upon being doubted Thursday, dashed into the house, up two flights of stairs, and back, in order to prove that he still retained his S. A. M. pin and was free as the breeze. Wonder why he is so anxious to prove

the fact?

IN THE FIRELIGHT Jokes flying fast and furiously around the campfire at Florence Lustgarten’s Friday night in between bites of steak. Someone told an especially funny one, and ten minutes later Flo started to laugh. Yes, she got it. Joan Weiss, Dave Miller, Art Barrett, Ruby and Max Zimet, Claire Goldberg were some of the faces reflected in the firelight. AT MICHIGAN CITY Bernie Arshop had two alternatives Saturday evening in Michigan City; because of the scarcity of rooms, or rather a definite lack of them, he would have to sleep either in jail or in the hospital. So Bernie slept in the hospital midst all the pretty nurses and sick patients—what a combination! Helen Klein and her Lieutenant were enjoying a summer stock presentation of Sherlock Holmes, as were Lou Hoodwin and Ethel Kaplan. Was hailed on the resort street by hometown Natalie Stolkin and Jack Larman. and Chicagoans Ralph Stolkin and Mart Friedman—just riding. Poor Molly Litvak suffered a hot case of sunburn—and homesickness. A day on that, or any, beach can cure anything, almost. Incidentally, for the best short story of the conclave I refer you to Morris Bryan and his candid shots—they sum it up nicely. BE PREPARED Sigurd Rosenfield certainly remembers his boy scout training. Evidence: At Milt Blieden’s house recently Bob Bornstein, Mike Glassner, Milt and Sigurd gathered to play bridge on an unusually sweltering evening. Sigurd conveniently arrived with an electric fan. Jeannie Sacks is off again! This time to far-off California to see what she can see—and there’s olenty to be seen there. Excitement on the river when a beer-drinking motor boater upset the canoe in which Bernard Silverstein, Morris Bryan and Martin Bottigheimer were enjoying the Fourth. The three fellows and their belongings were capsized into the river, but no harm was done except a thorough soaking and the loss of Martin’s car keys.

Jewish Aviation Group Seeks Applicants. To the Editor: The Hanhalat Plugot Hechalutz has decided to start a new group for primary training in aviation. This letter then is a call to American Jewish Youth! We urge those who are interested to send iii their replies immediately! The new unit will begin training on August 1, 1941 The requirements for application are: 1. Age—18 to 25. 2. Excellent health. 3. Good eyesight. 4. Height, minimum, 5 ft. 4 in. The applicants will be examined by a Government Doctor. Only those who will receive a Commercial Pilots Doctors permit, will he accepted. The program for the group (we believe that the primary training will take from 3 to 4 months) reads as follows: 1. Flying—20 hours of dual instruction, 35 hours of solo flying. 2. Ground instruction—Study of Meteorology, Navigation and Civil Aeronautic rules. 3. Shopwork—10 hours a week of actual shopwork and 2 hours a week of mechanical instruction. As you can see, the actual training requires patience, good-will of the student and time. This explains why, among all the Plugot Hechalutz, aviation training cannot be limited to evenings or week-ends, but must be conducted

daily.

The aviation students will live together as a distinct, autonomous unit at the Hechalutz Farm in Creamridge, New Jersey. They 1 will receive maintenance and free | training. All applications must be in the j office of the Plugot no later than July 25. Palestine Pioneer Units. | 1140 Broadway, New York, N. Y. Editor’s Note: Application |

We Hear From a Soldier To the Editor: Several weeks ago, my mother, Mrs. Lena Brown, wrote me and ; told me of your generous offe* to j send me your welcome paper providing I wrote you a letter. As J it turned out you have beat me to it and sent me the paper without waiting for my snail-like letter. To say that I deeply appreciate your paper is to say very little I really as I am trying to find a bet- ■ ter way to thank you for your j thoughtfulness. Although I am supposed to be J past the age where one gets homei sick, I could not say I was not homesick without trying to fool myself. The Post fills in a gap of my life here in Hawaii that would otherwise be totally empty. Since I have never taken part in Jewish life but little when I was (Continued on Page 8)
