A relief to the acute problem

are seeking residence in Mount
Clemens did not seem in sight
today, according to Adjutant
Ray Schultz of the Mount Glenn
ems Board of Commerce, as the
number of requests for rooms
received by the three service
organizations aiding the soldiers
remained at about 35 to 40 a
day.
The U SO Hostess House, is
also receiving requests from the
Red Cross at Selfridge Field, for
rooms Schultz stated.
The Hostess House alone, re-
ceived 500 requests for rooms
during the month of June,
Schultz pointed out, and since
last Friday when the Board If
Commerce sent out a plea for
rooms, the Hostess House has
been able to secure only 10 or
IL rooms in homes for soldiers
and their families.
Adjutant Schultz, once again
urged all people having room
for rent to list it with one of
three service organizations. The
organizations and their phone
numbers are: The u. o. Hos

tressed, cried frequently and was
obviously getting little out of his
training. The adviser learned that
he was excessively attached to his
mother and had never been away
from home. Moreover, his mother
wrote him almost daily pathetic
letters complaining of her suffer-
ings and her difficulties in adjust
ing herself to his absence. Private
y. was given an insight into the
exaggerated nature of his de-
pendcncc on his mother, and
frank letter was sent to the mother
asking her not to upset the boy
with her 'gripes". The boy was
thrown with groups who UNDER
took to socializc him so that he
would become Il mature man.
Other Case Histories
Private Y. had a great deal Of
difficulty in drill. marching, and
especially in doing double time.
The adviser was convinced he was
not u ncurotic and was not trying
TO get out o. duty. Long question:
ing revealed that in childhood he
had had a fever which was fol-
lowed by Il prolonged weakness Of
the muscles of the legs. Although
this had not been discovered on a
routine medical examination, q
special consultation revealed that
he had once had infantilc paralysis
which left him with a residual
weakness of coordination of his
leg muscles and he was reclassified
for Gr:ited service.
Private Il. was unhappy because
he felt he was qualified for service
in the Intelligence Department.
The adviser found he had q Con-
tinental background and an excel
lent knowlcdge of Europcan Ian
ruages. On this recommendation
the transfer TO Intelligence was
made and Private II. WAS happy

and spiritual problems.
The authorities of the armed
forces recognize this and have set
up methods of trying to help out
these troubles. For, while they are
not sentimentally concerned over
the personal happiness Of Private
A. or Sailor L., they are concerned
with morale! And in order to keen
1t at a high level they apply what

iy calls psychology.
Where can the soldier or sailor
turn for help in his private prob
lens? The Soldiers Handbook
says that if u man wants to see
his company commander all he
needs to do is to request permits
sion from the first sergeant. The
company commander may helm.
but he has many other duties
and he may not want to put his

HOLE IN : ONE SEASON
OPENED BY CHAMP
CHUCK NICOlAl

The 1914 Hole -in-One season
was officially opened in the
Mount Clemens district Wednes-
day evening when "Chuck" Nj
colai, 28-year-old golfing champ,
and state southpaw title holder,
sunk his first hole-in-one in 10
years of golfing.
Using a No. 7 iron. Nicolai
clouted his ball on the third
green at Lakepointe golf course
last night and nearly tainted
when he found it resting in the
cup 1853 yards away.
Two of his companions on a
foursome, John Adamo and John
Ruthouski, witnessed the feat
and incidentally supported the
much-weakened Chuck after
the first shock wore off.
Nicolai was pro at Gowanie in
1913: former Gowanie champ; a
Mount Clemens Open contender,
and for two years holder of the
State Southpaw Association tro-
ply, has seven trophies lined up
on his mantlepiece at home, 38
Madison. He is employed at
Briggs factory, Detroit.
Chuck" has been golfer
since he was old enough to
handle a sawn-off putter. He
was caddying at local links when
he could scarcely carry a loaded
golf bag.
