In the 1970s, he was instrumental in forming the Hope Cincinnati Charter, an organization that fixed up old houses for poor people.

"Bill Binder was very respectful and helpful to the poor people," said his friend, Jack Gunderman of Clifton.

Before studying at UC, he served in World War II in Germany.

Dana Maher Strauss, activist

Dana Maher Strauss, Democratic political activist and a pioneer in women's military service, died on the Fourth of July. She was 83.

Mrs. Strauss read history at Oxford, worked at Tammany Hall in the 1940s and was one of the few women who served with the Army overseas in Europe.

She attended Hillsdale School in Cincinnati, Dana Hall, Smith College, the University of Cincinnati and Oxford University.

A veteran of World War II, she spent 3 1/2 years in the Women's Army Corps, attaining the rank of corporal. She was one of fewer than 100,000 women who served in Europe. She drove trucks, typed coded messages for D-Day and served as an English-French translator. She later organized USO shows.

Mrs. Strauss continued to be active in Women in military Service to America throughout her life.

A Democratic Party activist for most of her life, Mrs. Strauss worked for Tammany Hall Council in New York City in 1940.

She worked in the early 1970s as an assistant to Cincinnati Council Member James Luken and was one of the founders of the Cincinnati Chapter of the National Women's Political Caucus in 1972. She was also a director of the League of Women Voters.

"She was a wonderful woman and had a wonderful life," said a son, Nicholas Maher Strauss, who recalled that his mother, a neighbor of the Kennedys in Hyannisport and Palm Beach, once dated the late president, John F. Kennedy.

While in Europe, she attended the wedding of Kennedy's sister, Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy, and once danced with Prince Philip, Strauss said.

In addition to her son, Nicholas, Mrs. Strauss leaves three other sons, Gordon MacGregor Strauss and Geoffrey Flynn Straus, of Cincinnati, and Victor Bradford Strauss Jr., of Clearwater, Fla.; a daughter, Alice Cita Purdy, of Athens, and three grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at the Indian Hill Church. Memorials may be made to the Women in military Service to America, Dept. 560, Washington, D.C., 20042.

Walter R. Mason, philanthropist

An inventor who revolutionized the plaster molds and ceramics industry, Walter R. Mason used his royalty monies to help disadvantaged children get basic needs such as braces or a college education.

He died on the Fourth of July at age 80.

"He was always for the underdog," said John L. Mason, his brother. "He was a quintessential Democrat and he put his money where his mouth was."

While working for Hoge Warren & Zimmerman, a Cincinnati roofing company, Mr. Mason developed and patented a unique machine that produced a continuous flow of water and plaster. It produced plaster molds and ceramic products of a higher quality than other methods.

The machine, named Mason Flo, was sold the world over and used for making ceramic bathroom fixtures in China and ornamental plaster houses at an British factory. Mr. Mason displayed one of the miniature houses, dubbed Mason Manor, in his own home.

The Cincinnati native graduated from Walnut Hills High School and the University of Cincinnati, with a degree in mechanical engineering. During World War II, he worked as an engineer at the Chrysler Aeronautical Plant in Chicago, helping design engines for the B17 Bomber.

But it was Mr. Mason's philanthropy that leaves a living legacy. Mr. Mason helped kids make ends meet and provided college tuition for one youngster who now teaches at a Virginia high school.

Mr. Mason also leaves his wife, Joyce Mason, and a sister, Peggy Sanders.

Services are private, and they are being arranged by Elden A. Good Funeral Home. Memorials may be made to the Stroke Association of America.

Margaret Minster, gourmet cook and author

Margaret Mau Minster, a gourmet cook, author and devoted cat lover, died Monday at her home in Wyoming. She was 85.

Mrs. Minster had a wide range of interests and capitalized on them to the benefit of a variety of causes, said her longtime friend, Karen Rafuse of Covington.

Among them: the Cincinnati Herb Society, for which she wrote a cookbook, and the Cincinnati Art Museum, for which she and Ms. Rafuse collaborated on a cookbook. The two also produced another book, "Let Them Eat Ice Cream."

"She was interested in all kinds of things, a very well-read woman," Ms. Rafuse said. "She kept a young mind for a long time."

Mrs. Minster was born in Norwood, graduated from Norwood High School and the University of Cincinnati. She was later the book buyer and sales promotion manager at Shillito's department store, where she met and married Leonard Minster, a vice president of that company.

The couple were avid art collectors and donated several paintings to the Cincinnati Art Museum.

In the 1950s, Mrs. Minster helped to produce a children's radio program, "Big John and Sparky," that aired across the Midwest, said Ms. Rafuse.

Mrs. Minster's other passion was cats, said her son, Joe. She kept them as pets throughout her life and wrote a book about one of them.

Mrs. Minster is survived by four grandchildren. A celebration of her life will be held today at the China Gourmet restaurant, 3340 Erie Ave., Hyde Park, from 1-4 p.m. Memorials: Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens, 3400 Vine St., Cincinnati, 45220.
