Death Takes
Father Of
"The Nebbs''

Chicago (JPS)-Sol Hess, one
of Americas most celebrated
comic strip creators, whose "The
Nebbs" cartoon was read daily by
millions, died here at the age OF
SO. Although not having an ex-
tensive education, Hess was re-
sponsible for creating a human
interest vogue in cartoons, depart
ing from the gag-inspired strip.
Originally in the jewelry business,
he acquired a reputation for wit
and storytelling when he lunched
at a restaurant where many OF
the Chicago Tribune artists ate
He became idea man for a time
for Sidney Smith, author OF line
Gumps," and later got a cartoon
list with whom he worked out 1.-The
Nebbs."

Navy Department extends to YOU
its sincerest sympathy in your
great loss"
INTER-FAITH HARMONY: In
terfaith harmony is a literal mat
ter to Private First Class Alfred
George Bosnos at Boiling Field,
District of Columbia, according to
Joseph Bower, the Jewish Welfare
Boards representative in Washing
ton, D. c. Although Jewish, Pri-
vate Bosnos sings each Sunday
with the Catholic choir in the field
chapel. One of the highlights in
his caroling career occurred this
Christmas, when he worked over
time on Christmas Eve, singing a
solo at Midnight Mass. AL is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Nat Bosnos,
of Tucson, Arizona, both of whom
consider these activities kosher so
long as he stays in key.
Phi. D. IN THE ARMY: Camp
Berkeley, California, lays claim to
one of the few Phi. DIS walking
around alive in the uniform of
the United States Army. There
he is, Private Lewis Berner, Phi.
D., of Miami, Florida, busying
himself in the laboratory of the
Berkeley station hospital, and car
rying out all orders without the
slightest perceptible grumble.
Private Berner was a zoology
student in civilian life, writing
books on science and teaching at
the University of Florida. One of
his insect treatises, although not
best seller, created quite stir in
the bug world. 1t was titled 'The
MayfIies of Florida"
When Private Berner first ar
rived at Berkeley, nobody thought
there was anything unusual about
him, so he was put to work drill
ing and peeling potatoes like
everyone else in camp. It soon
leaked out, however, that here was
no mere field artilleryman. A
transfer to the hospital laboratory
was affected so that the army
might take advantage of Private
Berners abilities and training.
AS soon as they're through with
him, Private Berner intends to go
straight back to the University of
Florida and teach. If the mayflies
get somewhat out of hand while
he's gone, don't blame him. Uncle
Sam wanted it that way.

,--,prE MORE JEWISH He

DOES. The names Of three more
T"'rish heroes are added to the
1oh,et of honored dead. They are
Tohr Chernek, the SON of a Gin
~;nuati rabbi, Ensign Ira Jeffrey,
the first casualty from MinneapO-
,;s MIMI, and Julian ROsnick,
uovaI radio engineer, the first war
victim from the Parkchester area
Of New York City.
Rabbi Jacob Chernek of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, learned of his sons
death in action during the Pacific
fiohting only three days after
Tohn had written home that he
was well and feeling fine" The
letter said that his ship had not
been sunk, as reports had rumor-
ed, but that the vessel was afloat
and he himself safe.
John was a radiOman, third
class. on a United States fighting
shin. He had been the manager
of a Cincinnati store, until IL
months ago, when he left home for
Los Angeles and joined the navy.
His father is the leader of the
K. K. Beth Tefyle congregation in
rincinnati. The Chernek family
migrated here from Cincinnati at
the start of the century.
Ira Jeffrey enlisted in the navy
in August of last year. Following
an Atlantic cruise in Cuba, he at
tended the naval school at North
western University. There he re-
ceived his ensign commission in
June, 1941. Thereafter he flew to
the west coast to join his ship. In
july he was assigned to Honolulu.
1--WE had already sent holiday
packages" the ensign's father
said. 1--WE got our last letter from
him a week ago. There was no
feeling of alarm in it, no indica-
ton that anyone had fear of an
early attack"
A friend of Ensign Jeffrey said
1--WE heard about it at 1880 this
morning and can hardly believe it.
We sat up half the night talking
about it and it isn't likely that any
of us are going to be able to con-
centrate on final examinations at
the University of Minnesota"
Carroll Geddes, one of the fac
ulty at the Minnesota University
said, ct knew Ira well. He was a
fine serious boy, good student,
we'll known and respected by the
whole campus. His death is go
ing to bring the seriousness of the
situation sharply to the students
here"
Julian ROsnik was graduate OF
the Radio Institute of America
He, too, was enrolled in the Naval
Reserve. Julian was called up to
duty last November 14th, and as
signed to a United States battle
ship. He lost his life in action
during the initial Japanese attack
on Pearl HarbOr. To his parents
in Parkchester, the Navy Depart
ment recently wrote: 'The Navy

votl transmission lines had come
together at Birch and Emerson
streets, knocking out transformer
How the lines came to contact
was a mystery to irrigation district

of the district said somebody
must have caused the contact.
When the lines were thrown to-
gether. there was brilliant flash
