Fishman Village
Dedication Set
For Wednesday

Nathan Fishman will have the
unusual opportunity of enjoying
his 60th birthday for a second
time when he attends the dedi-
cation of the Nathan and Meyer
Fishman Village at Camp Tama-
rack near Holly, Mich., next
Wednesday, at 3"
p.m.
The idea of
the Fishman Vil-
lage first came
into being_ when,
at a testimonial
dinner in his
honor in Miami%
on April A, a
check for $50,000
from the Nathan
and Meyer Fish- Nathan Fishman
man Foundation was presented
to Camp Tamarack.
A "This Is Your Life" account
was presented to him at the
testimonial dinner, recounting
the story of a youth who came
to this country penniless, at the
age of 18, in 1913, to seek his
fortune and to provide a future
for five motherless brothers and
sisters who were waiting to fol-
low him.
Born in Da.vid-Horodok, White
Russia, the oldest of six chil-
dren, he became a tinsmith and
his first job in this country was
at the Ford Motor Car Com-
pany-, earning $8 a week.
In 1919, Nathan Fishman mar-
ried Mirinie Grossman. Before
his first child was born in 1921,
he brought his family from Rus-
sia. With hisadded responsi-
bilities he gave up his job at
Ford's and went into business
for himself. The tinning and
roofing business he began then
as a contractor gradually ex-
panded and it wasn't long be-
fore the Star Tinning and Roof-
ing Company became the Star
Steel Supply Company with
branches in Los Angeles and
Houston, serving the sheet metal,
roofing, and air conditioning in-
dustries-.
Among his
most distin-
guished com-
munity services
have been his
work for the
Jewish Welfare
Federation and
the Allied Jew-
i s h - Campaign.
His record of
Meyer Fishman service also ex-
tends to membership on the
board of Sinai Hospital.
The Fishman Tamarack Vil-
lage used during the summer by
Fresh Air Society for the chil-
dren's camping program is of
winterized construction and can
be used from September to June
by youth groups, adults and
older adult groups of the Jew-
ish Community Center and other
agencies of the Jewish Welfare
Federation.
The already completed lodge
is of redwood and stone. Dra-
matics, socials and sabbath serv-
ices are held in the lodge.

man Foundation on the occasion
of Nathan Fishman's recent - 60th
birthday.
Also to be dedicated will be the
Robert John Maas Memorial
Health Lodge which was con-
structed last year as a memorial
by his parents and his brother,
Bernard L. Maas, Jr., to serve
the campers' health needs.
Mr. and Mrs. Theodore: Barg-
man's contribution enabled Fresh
Air Camp to purchase a 40-foot
trailer which sleeps up to six
people and has complete kitchen
and washroom facilities. The use
of this trailer has permitted
Fresh Air Camp to hire an addi-
tional staff person who would
require housing facilities for
himself and his family - for . the
summer. The Bargmans have also
contributed funds for a cabin
which will be part of the Fish-
man Village when completed- in
1956.
The Robert John Maas Memo-
rial Health Lodge consists of four
isolation rooms, a sleeping room
for the medical staff, an exam-
ining room and a screened porch
that serves as a waiting room.
The furnishings provided in
memory of Belle Goodman Nel-
son by her children for the Tarn
arack Staff Recreation Lodge also
will be included in the dedica-
tion program. Other additionS to
the current facilities are the pub-
lic address system, provided by
the Sheruth League, two 25-foot
war canoes—a gift from Irving
Popkin, and three sailboats pur-
chased with a contribution from
the Aaron Mendelson Jewish
Charities Fund.
Following Wednesday's pro-
gram, board members of Fresh
