Cancer Expert Helps Launch Crusade Some points about this year's Michigan Cancer Foundation Crusade are made by Dr. Johannes Clemmesen (left), an international authority on cancer from Copenhagen, as he stopped to chat at a press luncheon Thursday. His audience is Mrs. Philip Slomovitz, wife of the publisher of the Jewish News, and George W. Miller, president of the Bank of the Commonwealth and this year's general crusade chairman. For the first time in many years, observance of Cancer Control Month takes on a personal meaning for families in this community. Volunteers of the Michigan Cancer Foundation, working closely with the foundation's research division, are ringing doorbells to gather information which hopefully will eliminate a Number One cancer killer of women—breast cancer. Questions that foundation volunteers will deal directly with the homemaker, her immediate family and the family history of the father of her children. a • • • • ctivities Society Weizmann Institute Approves Budget of $7,333,000 REHOVOT (JTA) — An opera- tional budget of 22,000,000 Israeli pounds ($7,333,000) was adopted by the board of governors of the Weizmann Institute of Science. The instil* will receive an additional 9,000,000 pounds ($3,000,000) in research grants and contracts from various,_ governments and public agencies outside Israel. In a report presented to the board of governors by a panel of scientists, the institute was urged to concentrate on particular areas of research where results in the past have been encouraging. The commission, headed by Prof. J. B. Wiesner, of the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology, submitted the findings after 21/2 years survey- ing the institute's work. Earlier last weekend, ground- breaking ceremonies were held at the institute for a housing project for new scientists to be named Meanot Shine, after Mr. and Mrs. Barnett Shine of England who con- tributed funds for the project.

Dramatic Housing Experiment Built by Israeli Attracts Attention at Expo MONTREAL (JTA) — Visitors to Expo 67 were impressed by Habitat, the dramatic housing experiment built by 28-year-old Israeli architect Moshe Safdi and -sponsored and paid for by the Canadian government. (It was described as the "permanent symbol and land- mark" of the fair, by N.Y. Times architecture writer Ada Louise Huxtable.) Habitat is a group of one- and two-story homes arranged in a cluster of pyramids and jutting boxes, vaguely resembling a stream- lined version of the cliffside pueblo dwellings of American Indians in the southwest. It is considered to be one of the most impressive housing experi- ments ever undertaken. Budget for the project came to $11,500,000. Israel's beautiful pavilion at Expo was dedicated here last week in a brief, 10-minute ceremony attended by Israel's envoy to Ottawa, Ambassador Gershon Avner, leading representatives of Canadian Jewry, Montreal civic authorities and top officials of the exposition. The Israel Pavilion is located on the man-made Island of Notre Dame. Three years in preparation, the exhibit traces the story of the Jewish people and their eternal link with the land of Israel. It depicts present-day Israel and the Jewish state's accomplish- ments since its rebirth in 1948. Authorities here estimated that be- tween 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 visitors will view the exhibit here in the next six months. The Dead Sea Scrolls are the focal attraction for Expo 67 visitors when they enter the Israel Pavilion. Surrounding the Dead Sea Scrolls in the entrance hall are other archaeological exhibits from Israel.
