Center 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. – ARNOLD R. MEYER 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.
