Buddy Shoner
To Return
To Poree
Bv FRANCOIS

A newly decorated Lotus Res
taurant holds out to patrons an
added incentive to visit this cool
downtown dinery these nights.
The original incentives, including
Bill Strickland and his alert Capt.
tolians, plus an all-star floor show,
still abide. One abide land and
two abide sea and on the opposite
shore 1 Will be-.
Whoops, there we go again.
Absent from his spot on the
luncheon program at the La Paree,
lately, Buddy Shaner, who shares
the vocal assignment with Marie
Fowler at this place, will once
more be present at that session,
according to an announcement
which cites Buddy'S craving for
higher education as the reason
why he hasn't been heard regu-
larly. It seems Buddy is a full
fledged highbrow now, which
brings everything up on the plane
which has always been occupied
by his warbling ability. Strange,
too. that we hadn't noticed his
moronic tendencies before all this
education business was brought to
our attention.
At River Bend, it something
else again.
There you must m ct
"Whiskey," a terrier who started
out under the name Of
"Whiskers" and who still responds
to either name with a friendli-
ness that is not born Of affecta'
tion.
His spirit is the canine equiv,
alent of that evinced by genial
Bob" Gilliland, who really wants
to know when he sidleS to your
table with the query:
"IS everything all right?"
There can, of course, be but
one answer to that question. Due,
no doubt, to the honied tunes pro
vided by the River Bends famous
orchestra under the personal di-
rection of George Stein and the
River Bends famous chicken
and ham dinners which we find
beyond the pale of verbal ap-
praiSal.
It depends whole lot on which
way you select to enter the Am.
baSsador Hotels Hi-Hat Cocktail
Lounge. If you HE yourself past
the hat check window you must
have noticed Lu FoneS, nice sort
of person who hands you a receipt
for your skypiece, without which
you cannot get it back. It was
Lu. we are told, who wrote most
of the parody on welcome,
Stranger" which pretty Kitty
SimonS sings so sweetly.
Too reticent about her talents,
Miss Fones was practically bludge,
oned into admitting she can do
other things with pencil. She
sketches.
All, these tricky youngsters,
what will they be up to next!

And the Franklin Room in this
same hotel reports the posting of
a new record in the number Of
cocktails served during a five-day
period: 1,400 of the new Ron Rico
cocktails coursed down the throats
of patrons, to set an all-time high
in that classification.

RABBI FRAN
GIVES TALK
ON PALESTINE

Palestine is being conquered a
gain; not by sword, not by spear
but by science, knowledge, and
learning" declared Rabbi Leon
Fran in his speech at the Week
ly Forum at the Y. M. G.. A, Sun
day, March %. The subject of his
discourse was New Miracles in the
Holy Land"
Making a brief review of the ex-
tensive history of Jewish oppres-
sion, which had its origin back in
the biblical times, he brought out
the fact that the Jewish City OF
Palestine has been conquered and
anihilated more than any other
city in the universe, with every
great conqueror of the European
continent having trampled upon the
soil of that land, leaving behind
him masses of wreckage and thou
sands of Jews who were unmerci-
fully slain or slaughtered.
Due to this ignominious treat
ment through the many centuries,
the soil turned to infestuous
swamps and waterless deserts; and
now the Jews driven by necessity
have set forth upon the task of
rebuilding Palestine into land
of flowing milk and honey"
The speaker stated that the me
cessity' was Adolph Hitler, imperi-
Gus German dictator, who, coming
into power in 1888, Immediately set
upon the task of Jewish persecu-
ton, which has now found it's way
into several other nations of Eu-
rope.
He reported that after a tour
through the Holy Land last sum-
mer, he has found his people well
on the way to reconstruction. The
malaria breeding swamps have been
cleared, and those regions are now
inhabited by thousands of Jews
driven down from Poland, Germany,
and other countries. Most of the
desert land has now disappeared.
The Dead Sea, which occupies
the lowest known sea level, has
come to life, valuable chemicals
and fertilizers having been discov-
cred by Hebrew engineers. Fac
tories have been constructed upon
the shores for extraction purposes.
Educators have founded a Hebrew
University, which occupies a site
upon the hills skirting the suburbs
Of Palestine. The speaker held the
modern equipped university to be
one of the finest institutions of
learning in the world.
The Rabbi, renown for his teach
ings at the Temple Beth FL here
in the City, is an outstanding edu-
Gator and scholar. He is a gradu-
ate Of the University Of Cincinnati,
also the Hebrew Union College.
