Universal Scope
I Was a Pioneer in
Of His Altruism Advocating Ideas
For Social Reform
By JUDGE CHARLES RUBINER

The attainment by Fred St. But-
zel of his 60th birthday in an oc-
casion for felicitations and
thanksgiving—felicitations to him
upon the happy anniversary and
thanksgiving by his fellow-citi-
zens for having been blessed with
his presence, hie friendship, his
energies and his inspiring char-
acter.
It is not given to many men
to wield as wide and as intimate
an influence upon his fellow-men
—especially upon the youth of
his community—as has Fred But-
zel. His lasting contribution to
our times will be reflected in the
qualities of character, tolerance,
courage of conviction and in the
passionate love for fellow-men of
all creeds and colors, with which
all who have come under Fred
Butzel's tutelage were imbued.
So catholic has been the scope
of his altruism. so varied the
fields of his philanthropic activi-
ties, and so liberal his outlook,
that hosts of well-wishers, here
and elsewhere, Jew and Christian
alike, Join in fervent prayer that
his allotment may indeed go far
beyond the three score years in
which he has already been spared
to a grateful community.

ga.4 Range,

I wish to thank the worthy edi-

tor of The Jewish Chronicle for
his kind invitation extended to me
to express my feelings and good
wishes to one of the high esteemed
sons of Detroit Jewry on the occa-
sion of his sixtieth birthday.
I Join the friends of Fred Butzel
In congratulating him, who really
deserves all the honors bestowed on
him. May he be blessed who made
his charitable work, social activi-
ties and the welfare of the com-
munity his goal in life and holiest
task May he be blessed for his
great devotion and sacrifice he of-
fered to aid the less fortunate
brethren here and abroad.
Detroit Jewry is much indebted
to Mr. Butzel not merely for his
liberal contributions he always
made to all causes and funds but
mainly for the good example he
always showed to others.
I wish and pray for his long
life and many, many fruitful years
to come.

A Life Filled
With Good Deeds

By HON. B. D. CHANDLER

I note that Mr. Fred M. Butzel
will, on next Aug. 25, celebrate
his sixtieth birthday. I desire,
through you, to extend to Mr.
Butzel sincere congratulations
upon his arrival at the sixtieth
milestone of a life filled with
good deeds in behalf of a human-
ity that has not been as fortu-
nate as himself.
I have known Mr. Butzel and
his philanthropies for several
decades, and his work in behalf
of suffering humanity is well de-
serving of recognition from a
rather selfish world. If all had
given so unstintingly of their
time and money in behalf of the
under-privileged, there would be
no occasion for poor-houses and
welfare stations.
He has done a great work and
may God speed him in it. and
may it be an Inspiration for oth-
ers to follow in his footsteps.

MEYERS co,

By JOSEPH A. MOYNIHAN

Judge of Circuit Court

Dear Fred:
It would seem almost a paradox
to congratulate you upon the at-
tainment of your sixtieth birth-
day; it is we who should be con-
gratulated on this occasion. We,
and the people of this entire com-
munity, who have known the
genius of your leadership, the
comprehensiveness of your phil-
anthropy and the inspiration of
your high example.
The position of respect and af-
fection that you hold in the hearts
of our entire community, is a well
deserved recognition of the many
years you have devoted in the
noble service of your fellow man.
It is a distinct privilege to me,
as one who has followed your ca-
reer for so many years, to add
my best wishes to those of your
i nnumerable friends, and to en-
press the hope that you may be
spared for us all, for many years
to come.

IF A CAUSE IS
WORTHY IT IS
HIS CAUSE

The Jewish Community of De-
troit will celebrate with festive,
grateful spirit the 60th birthday
of Fred Butzel. It will gladly wel-
come the solemn opportunity to ex-
press its appreciation and admira-
tion for the masterful personality
and the imperishable services Fred
Butte] has rendered to Detroit Jew-
ry, to the Detroit community and to
American Israel at large.
The measure of the great merits
and achievements and also of the
matchless popularity of Fred But-
zel is with us in the virility of mind
and body—his name has already
become a household word in the
homes of Letroit Jews regardless
of their social and political affilia-
tions and the particular synagogue
in which they worship.
Just as the founders and cap-
tains of the great automotive indus-
try in our city represent and per-
sonify to the outside world the in-
ventive genius and boundless en-
ergy, of our young, expanding me-
ter city, so the name of Fred Butzel
came to signify to Detroit Jewry
the dynamic of the Jewish con-
science, the' imperative urge of so-
dal service, the Unity, oneness and
Solidarity of Israel and the Broth-
erhood of Man.
Upon men of the type of Fred
Butzel were in former ages con-
ferred by the Grace of the People
such titles of honor as "San
Vgodol," a "Leader and Prince" in
Israel. Indeed, the life and work
of Fred Butzel would amply Justify
his designation as a "Leader and
Prince" in Israel,
The Community spirit, the urge
to consecrate and spend our life
for the welfare of our fellow-men
must have been born with and its
Fred Butzel! I understand, that
even while a young fledgling stu-
dent he had already organized
classes for the recent immigrants
to teach. them the American lan-
guage, civic duties and the Amer-
ican concept of human rights and
obligations.
It must have been a great chal-
lenge to the communal spirit of De-
troit Jewry when the momentous
historic hour came to weld all the
many small detached groups, or-
ganizations and social units of De-
troit Jewry into one great powerful
body which was to be charged with
the task to establish and maintain
the educational, recreational and
charitable institutions necessitated
by the needs of the young, growing
modern community, and which was,
in the course of time, to be linked
and integrated with the large na-
tional and international Jewish
bodies for the upbuilding of Pales-
tine and for the preservation and
rescue of the uprooted, persecuted,
homeless Jewish masses of East
European countries. This epochal
undertaking in the history of De-
troit Jewry needed and round re-
sponsible and inspiring leadership
—in the person of Fred Butzel.

The 60 years of unselfish serv-
ice of Fred M. Butzel has enriched
the lives of many thousands. De-
troit is a finer city and Michigan
is a better state because he has
walked among us. His splendid
life has been an inspirational ex-
ample and life is cleaner and finer
because of Fred Butzel's insis-
tence that the true end of gov-
ernment is the happiness of all of
mankind. His idealism has always
been most practical and he has
shown all of us how we can be
of more help to our fellowman.
May he long be spared for we

It is hard to believe that Fred
Butzel is approaching his sixtieth
year. Despite his long career of

er men still regard him as a con-

boundless energy, his unfailing
enthusiasm, his youthful friend-
liness.
And yet I know that he most be
nearing the three score mark in
years, because my earliest recollec-
tion of organized charity in Detroit
is associated with his name. I have

Fred M. Butzel is one of those
rare men who has preferred all
through his active life to give his
strength and talents to communal
benefit rather than to use them
for material profit to himself. Al-
most every line of philanthropic
work has felt the warmth of his
enthusiasm and been stirred by
his activity. Years ago, he grasped
the significance of ideas which at
that time seemed visionary and
unattainable. He advocated them
and worked for them persistently.
It must indeed be a satisfaction to
him to stand on that sixtieth mile-
stone for a day and look back at
such visions turned to reality as
the Ford Republic. the Boys' Club,
the Community Fund, Parkaide
Hospital, the Michigan Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission.
the City Recreation Commission,
and numerous others. Those of us
who know him best know that to-
morrow his face will be towards
the future again as he reaches for
new advantages for the people of
his beloved Detroit. May he live
through many more fruitful
years.
