Line Deceiving

With The Guardians
Southwestern Jewish Press, October 28, 1955, Page 7
By Morrie Pomeranz
If the first meeting of the Board of Directors under the newly elected President, Sam Addleson, is indicative of what is in store for the coming year, one thing is most certain – the Guardians will not become decadent because of inertia. A vigorous and wholesome program has been tentatively outline – committee chairmen have been appointed to include:
Entertainment – Al DeSure and Larry Cantor; Membership – Dave Schissel and Julius Penn; Financial – Harry Sugarman; House—Seymour Krauss; Hebrew Home—Arthur Glickman; Gift – Morrie Pomeranz.
Attention All Guardians: The next regular meeting—November 3rd – will be held at the Mission Valley Country Club. Assurance has been given that both the dinner and the entertainment will be outstanding. As an added attraction for the social evening which customarily follows the dinner, a “Pan Table” will be set up for those Guardians whose card playing pleasures border on the bizarre.

Guardian Morrie Krauss, the intrepid sportsman, fisherman and big game hunter, made his recent trek to Wyoming a successful one. Morrie bagged one antelope and one elk – but his detailed account of climbing rugged mountains and dropping into hidden valleys in search of a 1400 bear, left his listening group completely exhausted.

The dedication ceremony was nearing its full attainment – the goal of many hard-working Guardians and others who had unselfishly devoted themselves towards providing a respectable home for the aged was about to be formally realized—a neatly attired man seated in a wheel chair listened attentively as one of the officers praised the many workers—following the ceremonies, several of the older male “guests” of the Home struck up a conversation with the newcomer –“How is it that you don’t wear glasses,” asked one old timer as he squinted through his bifocals in admiration. “Oh, I have a pair but seldom use them” was the simple retort. “But your hair – certainly this is a toupee!” exclaimed a second. “Strangely enough,” countered the man in the wheel chair “this is all my own,” and to substantiate the claim, he proudly tugged at the thick graying locks. “The teeth” – “Naturally mine—who else’s” A hush born of admiration and envy descended upon the group of old-timers. However, encouraged by the stranger’s honest answers and radiant warmth, one oldster mustered sufficient strength to pose the all-encompassing question – “How do you account for all this?” The man sat upright in his wheel chair and answered quite reflectively: “Well, believe it or not, I managed to drink a full quart of bourbon every day of my life—and when it came to women—well I was a regular devil – and if I wasn’t drinking or calling a girl on the phone, I played gin rummy until the wee hours.” Taxed by this soul-searching confusion, our hero relaxed to await the final query: “And how old are you?” – the man in the wheel chair said quite simply: “Thirty-one.”

Robinson and the Doctor
Southwestern Jewish Press, October 28, 1955, Page 7
Edward G. Robinson, about to undertake a difficult movie, thought it wise to have his health checked before he began filming the picture. He went to the doctor and submitted to an examination.
“Do you smoke,” asked the doctor. “A little,” replied Eddie. “Well, cut down. You’d be better off,” said the doctor. “Are you a heavy eater?” “Well, rather,” said Robinson. “Slow down a bit on that,” said the doctor. “Eat lighter meals. Do you drink?” Here Eddie surprised at the warnings, lied a bit. “No, never touch a drop.”
“Too bad,” said the doctor, “A little whiskey now and then might be very good for us.”

Success Drive Hits First Million Goal
Southwestern Jewish Press, October 28, 1955, Page 8
With the United Success Drive hitting the million dollar mark, campaign leaders this week renewed efforts to bring it to an early and successful conclusion.
Campaign Chairman John W. Quimby today appealed for “prompt cooperation of contributors and volunteer campaigners to do their share in giving the greater San Diego area a new look – community responsibility. This means providing Red feather services that are essential to the community.”
Quimby said, The first million dollars is the hardest. Now that we have reached this milestone, we are well on our way, but we still must bring in more than $700,000 in additional contributions in order to meet the minimum needs of our 50 Red Feather services.”
Quimby urged people who have not been reached in the residential campaign to please mail their contributions to United Success Headquarters at 3535 Enterprise Street or to phone the Community chest at Academy 3-7191, and have them picked up. He said volunteers in some areas of San Diego have been unable to complete their house calls, and as a result more contributions should be forthcoming.

Mrs. Nasatir’s review will be given on Nov. 2 at the luncheon meeting at 11:45 in the Temple Center.
