MYRON BARLOW
Detroit home and had spent some
time here every two or three years.
He was as widely known and ad-
mired in Detroit art circles as he
was in Europe. He left Detroit on
May 26 for France and had
planned to return in November.
Ile was one of the few Ameri-
cans honored by the French Gov-
ernment for his paintings, having
been made a Knight of the Legion
of Honor in 1932. The possessor
of many other honors, he received
the Paris Gold Medal at the St.
Louis Exposition in 1904 and the
Gold Medal of the Panama Pacific
Exposition in San Francisco in
1914:
Mr. Barlow's paintings are hung
In many galleries in this country
and abroad. The Detroit Institute
of Arts owned several of his pic-
tures and his murals are on the
walls of the main auditorium of
Temple Beth El. He also is rep-
resented in the Pennsylvania Acad-
emy .

Barlow came to Detroit when a
child and in 1894 went to Paris
to study under J. L Gerome and
other masters at the Beaux Arta,

My Dear Fred:
You probably have forgotten, but
I have not, an experience of 25
years ago, when I, like hundreds of
others, wore a path to your door.
As a stranger, I came here to find
a place in the community. Then, an
now, everybody thought in terms
of whatever you are looking for,
"see Fred Butzel. Ile will take
care of you."
You were then a man of 35. I
was 10 years your junior; yet you
were already a full man—a very
complete and very distinguished
personality. You received one
kindly. You asked my antecedents.
You were ready even to give me a
start, as you have wanted to do
and have done for hundreds of oth-
ers who have since found them-
selves, and are profoundly indebted
to you 'for your kindly word at the
right time. There is hardly a per-
son anywhere to whom so many
young men can pay homage—for
whom you have done so much—for
whom you have gone no far out of
your way to serve with your money,
your time, your thought, with all
you had to give.
I came back to you again and
again later on through the years
to assist me with some knotty prob-
lem. Your door remained open as
before. Never did a friendly word
fail you. Your time was at my
full command as it has always been
at the full command of the com-
munity.
You have seen much, felt much,
experienced much, in your short
span of sixty years. Busy years
they have been, and yet you are a
young man still, with deepest devo-
tion to all that is human. You are
a cosmopolite in the truest sense
of the word, able to transcend the
values of the moment; able to weigh
monetary as against more perma-
nent values; kindly, tolerant, 'un-
derstanding, wise. How much more
wholesome, more friendly, more
generous and understanding our
communities would be, if instead
of a single Fred Butzel, we could
boast a hundred. I congratulate
Detroit on its good fortune in hav-
ing you in its midst for many years
to come, I hope.
"A Little Clump
In Butzel Forest"
By RABBI LEON FRAM
Upon his return from Europe
last week, Rabbi Leon Fram learn-
ed of the plans to plant a forest in
Palestine in honor of Mr. Butel's
60th birthday. Ile immediately to-
mit,ed a contribution of $5 towards
the fund to be used for this pur-
pose by the Jewish National Fund.
His contribution was accompanied
by the following government:
On returning from my trip to
eastern Europe, I learned that the
Jewish Community of Detroit is
about to celebrate Fred Butzel's six-
tieth birthday.
I was particularly delighted when
I learned of the happy idea of hon-
oring Fred Butzel by planting a
forest in his honor in Palestine. I
could think of no more appropriate
symbol of the significance of Fred
Butzel's life and work among us.
Like a forest tree, he has given
shelter to so many of us who are
caught In the rain of misfortune.
His advice both to over-heated in-
dividuals and to over-zealous or-
ganisations, has had a cooling . ef-
fect, like that of a forest breeze.
As a forest in Palestine begins
with saplings taken from the nur-
sery and grows into groves of
sturdy oaks, no Fred Butzel has
devoted his life to guiding and
nourishing human saplings, until
they have grown to strength and
service. As the forests of Palestine
revive the soil of the land of Isreal,
so has the person of Fred Butzel a
vivifying effect upon the soul of the
City of Detroia.
Please accept this small check,
which represents my little clump in
the Fred Butzel forest.

By LAWRENCE W. CROHN
President, Zionist Organization
of Detroit
It seems that every large Jewish
Community has at least one out-
standing layman who combines in
himself most of the virtues and
often some of the vices of that com-
munity. Mr. Fred Butzel exempli-
fies the best type of Jewish leader-
ship. His has not been a one-sided
interest and to my knowledge, he
does not patronize.
Mr. Butzel has made himself
loved as well as respected. Ile has
not taken the boorish attitude to-
ward Palestine, Jewish Education,
and Traditional Judaism that many
of our so called leaders sometimes
adopt. There is good reason for
this—for Fred Butzel is a cultured
gentleman—his outlook on life is
the esthetic one.
And so we wish Fred Butzel long
life. The Detroit Jewish communi-
ty congratulates itself on having
this representative citizen in its
midst.
A Life Dedicated
To Serve Mankind
By CLARENCE H. ENGGASS
President, Jewish Welfare
Federation
The life of Fred Butzel has been
dedicated to the service of man-
kind. While countless numbers of
his benevolences have been of a
personal nature, he has given un-
stintingly of his time in an execu-
tive capacity, and many philan-
thropic and cultural bodies have
been able to function better because
of his services. His goodness has
permeated into many places. On
this, the sixtieth birthday of Fred
Butzel, it is fitting that we pause
to honor him.
Man of Good Heart
By RABBI JOSHUA S. SPERKA
Rarely are God's gifts complete.
The choicest of His children, how-
ever, are endowed with an under-
standing heart.
To the question of the Sage of
the Mishna as to "which is the way
to which a man should cleave," the
five disciples replied (1) a good
eye, (2) a-good friend, (3) a good
neighbor, (4) foreseeing the conse-
quences of an action, (5) a good
heart. Whereupon the Rabbi
(Yochanan ben Zakkai) approved
the latter opinion—"for in his
words are yours included."
Fred M. Butzel symbolizes to ire
the man of a good heart. I invoke
• heart-felt prayer and blessing
for the continued life and health
of our "Ben Shishim." May God
grant him the privilege of a long
life of service thereby fulfilling our
deep-felt need of his presence, his
personality and of his priceless
leadership.
By DR. LEO M. FRANKLIN
By ISADORE LEVIN
Fred M. Butzel Is less an indi-
vidual than an institution in the
city of Detroit. It is difficult to
think of any worth while cause—
philanthropic, educational or civic
—with which he is not intimately
associated. I question whether
there is another man in this com-
munity who serves on so many
boards of Jewish and non-sectarian
organizations as does he. More-
over, in each of them he is a domi-
nating factor.
In matters of social interest he
thinks clearly and quickly. Ile sel-
dom, if ever, mistakes the inci-
dental for the essential. A lover of
his fellowmen, he yet does not
permit soft sentimentality to con-
trol his decisions. He cares lit-
tle for tradition of any kind, and as
often as not will advise a course of
action in individual cases which is
the exact reverse of what the pro-
fessional social worker would sug-
gest.
He is a Reform Jew, but an ar-
dent Zionist. He is the soul of
kindness, but does not hesitate to
use harsh words when occasion
seems to demand. He is the friend
of the underdog, but does not un-
derrate the qualities that Wake for
success. Ile regards wealth as a
trust to be used wisely for the com-
mon good rather than for self in-
terest or self aggrandisement.
His service to the community is
beyond measuring. A man of un-
usually broad culture, a musician,
a s ponsor of the arts, at home in
the literature of several languages,
he is always the genial companion
of scholarly men, even as he is the
trusted friend and counsellor of We
unlettered and the underprivileged.
To have such a man as a leader
in the community is no small privi-
lege. May many more years of use-
ful endeavor lie before him for the
inspiration of the community in the
upbuilding of which he has played
so prominent a part, for the serv-
ice of world Jewry, for helpfulness
to humanity, and for the greater
good of every cause to which
through so many years he has earn-
estly and ardently devoted himself.
In Detroit we are so near to Fred
Butzel and so accustomed to his
superlative qualities that we accept
them almost instinctively. Lacking
sufficient perspective, It is not easy
to appreciate how outstanding and
unique a personality he is.
The extremely rare combination
is his, of a thorough understanding
of the individual, and a complete
mastery of the strategy of social
planning. Ile has a deep sym-
pathy for the suffering, the poor,
the humble; and he has given his
thought and energy and worldly
possessions to help them in their
struggles. At the same time, his
influence has been widely felt in
the formulation and execution of
b road social policies. In every
phase of his thought and action,
there is manifest a far-reaching un-
derstanding of the implications and
consequences of different lines of
policy—a broad statesmanship. In
him we find the sympathy of a poet
and the vision of a statesman.
As a lawyer his counsel has been
sought by the perplexed in all
walks of life; and his name will
stand out for making law meaning-
ful in life and society, and r.spon-
sive to the needs of the humble and
the great.
These attributes are the servants
of an indomitable spirit—so that
by day and night he listens to
those who seek his counsel and ad-
vises them, attends numerous meet-
ings of boards and committees, and
performs many executive and of-
ficial functions. Always interested,
he meets every situation with mo-
mentum. There is an unquenchable
fire within.
He Has Inspired
Rabbis and Laymen
By DR. BERNARD HELLER
Director, Hillel Foundation of
University of Michigan
Fred M. Butzel's life and labor
in behalf of philanthropic and
Jewish causes have been an in-
spiration not only to his fellow De-
troiters but even to rabbis of other
towns who saw in him an example
of idealism and altruism. I wish
to participate in the tribute to Mr.
Butzel with a feeling of joy and in
1,10 realization that a noble per-
sonality Is being deservedly hon-
ored by his fellow Jews.
would have been significant as a
writer or critic. He knows music
and plays well, and the Muses must
mourn that he did not make that
his calling., The many facets of his
mind enlighten his acts. They give
him an objective and broad ap-
proach to problems. In all his
work, the keen perception and
ideals of the true artist are ap-
parent.
As a friend he is loyal, self-
sacrificing, and delights in acts of
kindness. A brilliant conversa-
tionalist—Samuel Johnson and his
circle would have welcomed him
to their gatherings,
With gratitude for all that he
has-done, we greet Fred Butzel on
his sixtieth birthday, and hope that
many more years of useful and
great activity will be vouchsafed
unto him.
A Shining Light
Among the Jews
By MRS. JOSEPH H. t HRLICH
President, Detroit Service Group
Who more than Fred Butzel
does the Detroit Jewish communi-
ty delight to honor? And yet he,
less than any other of Detroit's
Jewish citizens, needs no words to
do him honor. His almost fifty
years of devoted service and far
flung activities on behalf of man-
kind honor him and make his life a
shining light among Jews and non.
Jews in our community, as well as
in the high places in the U. S.
It has been my privilege to work
with him for many years and so in
sincerity and with respect for his
uniqueness of service, I can say—
his has been a full and a rich sixty
years. May the works of his hands
and the fruits of his labors bless
the remaining years which shall be

In felicitating Fred Butel on
his 60th anniversary, so much can
be said and yet so little need be
said. An acknowledged leader—
loved and respected by all classes
and creeds. A fitting example of a
true prince in Isreal. May he be
