Building Made Possible by Meyer $1,500,000 Gift
American Found Dead
New NVeizniann Institute Cancer Research
Arnold R. Meyer, Chicago indus-
trialist, banker and philanthropist,
has made a 51.500,000 gift to the
American Committee for The
Weizmann Institute of Science, it
was made known by Abraham
Feinberg, chairman of the Ameri-
can Committee for the Weizmann
Institute of Science and chairman
of the Weizmann Institute's board
of governors.
The gift, matched by Israel gov-
ernment funds, will make possi-
ble a new building on the campus
of The Weizmann Institute of Sci-
ence, to Rehovot, Israel, to house
cancer research activities there.
The new building is to be
known as the Arnold R. Meyer
Cancer Research Institute.
The Weizmann Institute stands
in the forefront of cancer research,
which is conducted in four of its
departments: genetics, cell bio-
logy, chemical immunology, and
biodynamics.
Meyer said he was moved to
make the gift to the Weizmann
Institute because, "having seen
many institutions, I was most im-
pressed with the quality of the
people at the Weizmann Institute,
their work, their dedication and
progress. My wife and I believe if
there is a cure for cancer, it
might well result from Weizmann
Institute research. –

Camp Tamarack Program to Mark
70th Year of Fresh Air Society
commodated 1,181 boys and girls,
age 11 to 16; Camp Kennedy
accommodated 50 teenagers: and
the Agree out-post camp served
37 teenage boys. In all 2,114
campers were served in the sum-
mer of 1971 by the camps and
tripping and travel program.
Tamarack Hills Authority and
the Fresh Air Society invite the
community to visit Camp Tama-
rack in Ortonville 1:30 p.m. Aug.
20 and participate in a program at
the recently completed Henry M.
Butzel Senior Citizens Village and
Conference Center. The 70th anni-
versary of the Fresh Air Society
Campaing Program also will be
marked.
The Tamarack Hills Authority
operates Camp Tamarack for the
Jewish Welfare Federation and the
Fresh Air Society—the Federation
member agency that provides
camping for children and young
adults age 11 to 16.
In addition to its primary facili-
ties, the Fresh Air Society has ex-
tended its tripping programs in
creating challenging and interest-
ing programs for teenagers by
establishing numerous "outpost'
and "base camps" stretching from
Camp Kennedy in the Upper
Peninsula to the Agree out-post in
the bush territory near WaWa in
Ontario.
Sol G. Kurtzman, president of
the Fresh Air Society, has nom-
inated David E. Eason, who last
year completed his 13th summer
as a member of Camp Tama-
rack's program staff, as chair-
man of this year's meeting.
Samuel Marcus, executive direc-
tor of the Fresh Air Society, joins
Kurtzman in inviting the com-
munity to visit the camp and re-
flect upon the society's first
70 years of involvement in
community camping.
The program began in 1902
when a group of young women
conducted picnics on Belle Isle for
under-privileged immigrant chil-
dren and their mothers. In sub-
sequent years, many temporary
"camping" sites were operated by
the society in such locations as
Kingston. Ont. and Grosse Pointe.
Camp Tamarack at Ortonvilie. its
sister camp at Brighton, and the
aforementionad out-post units bear
little resemblance to the facilities
that served indigent Jewish chil-
dren when the Fresh Air Society
began.
Each year since its founding,
additional programs to meet the
needs of the community, and
facilities to complement those pro-
grams have been funded and built
as a result of the generosity of
members of the community.
Last year 6113 youngsters, ages
S to le, camped at the Brighton
site; Tamarack at Ortonville ac-
Family groups and older adults
also camp at Tamarack. It is ex-
pected that a small portion of the
annual meeting will be devoted to
a comparative analysis by an older
adult who, after several year of
"camping" in facilities used
throughout the summer by young-
sters, will be completing a one-
week stay at the Butzel Senior
Citizens Village and Conference
Center.
The cented was successfully de-
signed and erected in accordance
with the needs of older adults. This
luxurious facility is used year-
round, as is the main camp at
Ortonville, for conventions, meet-
ings, seminars and retreats.
Persons seeking directions to
Tamarack at Ortonville should call
the Fresh Air Society offices, DI
