all sturdy, strong, big, blond,

independent spirit. Their ap-

straightforward, with no quirks
or reservations. They know the
score!

a boat and swam in its blue wat-
ers. I've covered the length and
breadth of the Emek Israel and
Emek Hayarden, have seen the
Huleh Valley and the Galil. There
is life and vigor. The Jewishness
is free, proud, strong."

to join him in Palestine. He points
out that he, like other Jews, will
fit in well into the Palestinian
environment.

It wasn't so long ago that De-
troiters were linking the name
of Maj. Max Weil with those of
the "one man army of Bataan,"
Capt. Arthur W. Wermuth, and
Lt. Gen. Doolittle. Weil's wife,
Mrs. Doolittle, and Mrs. Wer-
muth were guests of honor of the
city in a ceremony in front of
city hall. In 1942, three tanks, do-
nated by citizens in a "Buy a
Tank" drive, were named after
the heroes.
But Weil's friends_ among for-
mer students of Wayne Univer-
sity were determined that his
name would not be forgotten. To
this end they began a drive to
raise money for a memorial to
honor the hero. Now, Weil's re-
cord will live through the Max
Weil Metnorial Scholarship Fund
which will be used to aid deserv-
ing high school students continue
in higher education at Wayne
University. The $1,000 collected
has been turned over to the
Wayne University Foundation
which will be custodian of the
fund.
