led an effort to give a 31-acre farm site on East Main Street in Springville to the New York State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases. At the time, it was listed as a biological station. The farm would become Springville Laboratories of Roswell Park Memorial Institute. In 1914, Dr. Harvey Gaylord, the director of the Institute, put Mr. Millard Marsh in charge of the facility. In 1914, the NYS Legislature budgeted $15,000 for the facility in Springville and in 1915, another $20,000. Expansions would include a 1932 administration building and library, in 1959, a one million dollar laboratory, and in 1983, facilities to study fish. Mr. Marsh (director 19141953) would begin the work of inbreeding thousands of mice. His work would be furthered under the directorship of Dr. Leonell Strong (1953-1964). This would inevitably give Springville Labs the nickname “the mouse house.” Dr. Strong and his mouse collection left Springville in 1964, after being forced to retire from New York State, and continued his research with Dr. Jonas Salk at the Salk Institute in California. In 1964, Dr. Julius Ambrus took over as director of the facility. In 1975, Dr. Michael McGarry took over the labs from Ambrus and remained until it closed in 1993. It is important to note that the work on development of strains of mice really led to the development of understanding, diagnosing and treating many forms of cancers and other diseases. In a twenty-first century mindset, it may be a little disturbing to realize that in addition to mice, the Springville Labs raised monkeys, beagles and mongrel dogs, poultry, mutant chickens (what—no teenage mutant ninja turtles?!), horses, goats, trout and salmon. At its peak,

over 30 species of animals were kept at the labs, in addition to 60,000 mice. In the 1950s and 1960s, the labs offered educational opportunities for high school teachers as well. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Springville Laboratories also housed the NYS Department of Agricultural and Markets Mastitis Lab. (Mastitis is an infection of breasts and udders and can be detrimental to dairy operations.) Run by Cornell University, the lab was a mastitis control lab for the 11 counties of WNY. It wasn’t a job that attracted people with a fear of mice. A friend told me how she had applied for a job there one summer and when the interviewer opened a drawer and it was full of mice, she concluded it wasn’t a place she wanted to work. One of the great legacies of Springville labs should be its relationship in the connection of cancer and tobacco use. Roswell had a machine called the tar baby, which was a machine that could smoke a hundred cigarettes at time. Tar was collected and spread on mice until a tumor developed. The tumor was then removed and studied. At one point, a horse was given a mask that forced it smoke several packs of cigarettes until it died and was autopsied. It was cruel work, but the result was the ability to diagnose certain cancers related to smoking. In addition to the lab at Springville, Roswell had labs in Orchard Park and West Seneca. Attitudes toward animal research had been changing and funding was moved away from Roswell Park. The Springville Laboratories and the other labs closed in 1993. Due to several years of neglect, the laboratory building was razed a few years ago. The property is still owned by NYS.

Letter to the Editor

As the new year begins, I would like to take a minute to thank the many people who took time out from their holiday preparations to ring a bell for the Salvation Army Red Kettle Drive. Volunteers ranged from mothers and their children, to church groups; to a wonderful brass group to a lone trumpeter; as well as senior citizens and members of youth programs such as 4-H. The $8,000 collected from the Red Kettle Drive stays within our communities and provides a multitude of services through Love Inc. Many families will benefit from assistance with utilities, furniture and rent as well as medical and personal care, school supplies, diapers and formula. The Salvation Army is always here to lend a helping hand in time of a disaster. I would be remiss if I did not thank the thousands who donated during the 2016 collection. Also a big thank you to Tops, Wal-Mart and 56 Main Street for their support by allowing us to use their facilities in such a wonderful display of our caring community. The Red Kettle Drive begins in November and runs through Christmas Eve. If you or a group would like to donate two hours at a time to help us ring, please call Diane at 592-4054 and leave your address and I will contact you in the fall to see if you are interested and available. - Diane Fleckenstein
