She was greeted by a childhood friend, Mar- sha Bednarsh, who in- troduced her to her husband. "You now have some com- petition," Mrs. Farber quipped, pointing to Lois Fishman, mother-in-law of her son, David. Mrs. Fishman is a professional matchmaker, running a Jewish matchmaking ser- vice called Dateline. On a more serious note, the dinner marked the inau- guration of the William Farber Alzheimer's Resear- ch Center at Bar-Ilan. Since Mr. Farber took interest in the university's research capabilities about 10 years ago, he has underwritten many purchases of scientific equipment. Among them is the Alzheimer's center, a major research entity that allows additional work on Bar-Ilan's promising SR-3 drug. The SR-3 drug has slowed symptoms of Alzheimer's pa- tients in 70 percent of pa- tients who were tested overseas. Soon, the drug will be tested in the United States. Mr. Farber's interest in Alzheimer's is a personal one. Mrs. Farber's mother, Bess Edelstein, is afflicted with the debilitating disease. Attending the dinner were many relatives, including Mr. Farber's mother, Doris Farber; sister and neph- ew, Marsha (Corky) and David Berniker of Toronto; sons and daughters-in-law, David and Jill, Jeffrey and Jennifer; aunt and cousins, Alice Farber, Lia Wiss and Marilyn Redlich; cousins, Sidney, Carol and Hope Lifton. ART TOUR The members of Israel Bond Women's Division held their 9th annual art and home tour on Sept. 12 for 100 women, who each pur- chased $1,500 or more in Israel Bond securities.
