P«*e Tw» III IODIIIIN ISRAELITE Friday, Dae. I. 1B1 Vista —ST. PE TERSBURG SENIOR fn r ^ p by HARRY ROSE Z The spirit of Hanukah prevails throughout the Jewish Commun ity of St Petersburgh this week and especially in the circles of (he Senior Friendship Club, where the membership scaled to 230 this past week and this many, plus distinguished speakers, were served a specially hot luncheon of freshly caught fish, which was prepared in the kitchens of the Jewish Community Center, by a special committee of National Council of Jewish Women, head ed by Mrs. Raymond Upright, on Thursday, Dec. 7. This is an annual event on the part of NCJW to SFC and each year it becomes one of the most desirable events of the season. A special Hanukah program of sing ing, dancing and instrumental music was enjoyed by everyone. Mrs. Raymond Upright was the guest speaker, with Bernard Liebowitz, executive director of the Jewish Community Council, representing that organization. Leanore Polman sang appropri ate holiday songs, while Nancy Rubin directed the dancing. The SFC Orchestra participated throughout the afternoon. It was a happier side of a pic ture of illness and recovery this week among the members of 8FC. Helen Birkhahn, after a five week confinement period in the St Anthony’s Hospital, was released last week and returned to her home. Little by little she is getting around and last Thurs day she visited the SF Club and was warmly greeted by her many friends and acquaintances. She said that she is itching to get her fingers around the neck of her violin and return to active Cesphlihf Ah CisMissi wWi hftiMssI ■—i CssSrsI ffcj, , | , Mw-w m m * mynpN iwimmni rtw Ovfc Mich •m ImcIi ® WiWi C#cfcftitf Card Isms Tshvlilw l*t« Free FwMwg OVERLOOKING THE OCCAM.

She also looks for ward to visiting her friends the next time they assemble in the Jewish Community Center the coming week. Mrs. Lena Seidman is making satisfactory progress and is looking forward to be able to leave the hospital next week. Ella Bailin, who has been reported ill, is said to be recover ing and expected to be in visit ing action within the next week. She too is anxious to get out and be back in Senior Friendship circles. Louis Goldstein is mak ing wonderful progress after two serious operations and is taking it easy at his home. He is able to take walks by himself and is regaining his strength very ra pidly. ‘Til be coming through SFC doors pretty soon, just watch and see,” that’s how chirpy Louis is feeling these days. Harry Rosenberg has recovered after a short illness. Samuel Lourie is reported to be doing nicely, but still confined to a hospital in Washington, D.C. Aaron Lip- wich has been removed from the St. Anthony’s Hospital and is now confined in the Bayou Re- storium, at 4th Street and 41st Avenue South. Any of his friends, caring to visit him may do so, as he will be very happy to see them. Betty Miller, Record ing Secretary of the Senior Friendship Club, entered Mound Park Hospital on Dec. 1, to spend a required period in traction. Betty has undergone many tests and her attending physician has decided that a week in traction will bring her great relief. Betty, who is doing several comedy numbers in the forth-coming “Good Old Vaudeville Days” show on Dec. 12, just says *T11 be there and I’ll be in good shape too.” Mollie Brandt, first president of SFC, arrived in St. Peters burg last week after a long visit with her families in Westchester, N.Y. and Chicago, I1L Popular Community Song Sheet No. 4, being compiled ex clusively for the Senior Friend ship Club, was made possible through a generous contribution of Mrs. Viola Fanta. The new song sheet will be presented dur ing the January 1962, program of “Everybody Sing.” Moe Levy is back in St. Peters burg and as happy as a lark. He is glad to get back with old friends and acquaintances. He is at home at 1710 28th Street North. Jennie Giniger seems to have fallen in love with Miami for she is remaining on the east coast of Florida. Jennie has been in Miimi for the past three weeks and is reported flirting with the idea of remaining there. Ethel Green is recovering from the shock of the death of her niece in the Essex House, in New York City, last week, Fannie Wolff, who was a very success ful song writer with hits that sold hundreds of thousands of records throughout the nation. Among her successes were “Sum mer Love,” written in conjunc tion with Irving Berlin; "Tear Drops on My Pillow,” “Before It’s Too Late” and “You Can Count On Me.” Fannie Wolff also managed a number of suc cessful theatrical stars. She was a member of ASCAP. She leaves two married daughters and four grandchildren. A new Grievance Committee for Senior Friendship Club was appointed by Louis H. Shapiro, the president, consisting of the three past presidents of the club, which include Mollie Brandt, Al fred Epstein, and Kasper Loew- enstein, along with Isadore White and Abraham Kuhlberg. Alfred Epstein was appointed Chairman of this Committee. Members having grievances against the Club, or members of The Board of Directors, or even members of the Club are to take them to this Committee, instead of try ing to air them publicly. The Committee will give each com plaint close attention and will try and solve them to the best in terests of all concerned. Molly Shanes contributed a bridge table to SFC and this will certainly make the card-playing members very happy as there has always been a shortage of tables up to and including the past week. Through the kindness of other members 15 new tables have been purchased and added to those already in the club. Sadie Ward, wife of Emanuel Ward, musical director of SFC is recovering from a virus attack that has caused her to take it very easy at home. Sadie Ward is a very active organization woman, as well as a wonderful artist in oils and water colors and “Mr. Virus” has sort of inter- ferred with her usual way of Ufa. This writer saw Sadia on Saturday of last week and she was well on the road to full re covery. Among the new members reg istered at the last meeting were Max A Sidel, Rose Moses, Na than Gilman, Laura Aha, Harry Rosenblatt, Jacob and Anna Ap- ter. Among the visitors were Simon Kaplan, Rae Harris, Mr and Mrs. Bernard Lee, Sarah Mendelowitz, a sister of Bertha Alpert, and Irene Abramowitz. “Good Old Vaudeville Days,” the annual show given by Sen ior Friendship Club, will play to a sold-out house on Tuesday, Dec. 12, in the Jewish Community Center Building, as all tickets have been purchased for this particular performance.
