Honorable Mayor and Council
Wyandotte, Michigan
Gentlemen:
Your letter Of October 10th to
Mrs. Jacobson has been placed on
file for the Board meeting of the
18th. Thank you for your prompt
reply.
Naturally We hope that it will not
be necessary for us to move. May
say that think it would be a grand
arrangement If the office of Veter-
ans affairs could be housed in the
rooms formerly used by the nursery
school. l sincerely hope that this
can be worked out. The needs of
the returned Servicemen are great
and will, We agree, continue to in
crease. The agency offering family
counselling to individuals and fam
lilies should be working closely with
the agency serving the veteran. So
many times. after the veterans
claims and affairs have been adjud-
icated, there still remains the prob
lem OF family adjustment. In most
OF these cases 1t is the other mem
bers OF the family. rather than the
veteran himself who need to be
helped to accept and understand
the serviceman and his problems
This is the type of service which our
staff gives and Is trained to give.
Within the past few months we have
had an increasing number OF sery-
icemen and their wives come to our
office fer help in their family ad-
jUStment. We have ARRANGEMENTS
whereby our staff may consult with
pSychiatrists on problems of this sort
in order that they may give the best
possible service to the family.
Mr.. Payette and I have had sever
al conversations about making our
work more coordinated. 1t is diff
ficult when people are busy to talk
things over; however, if they are
housed nearby, conferences and dis
cusSions are easily arranged. We
have made progress in this respect
IN the Ecorse office, where Mr.. Korn
Ecorse Counsellor. is actually a
member Of the Ecorse Board and
makes considerable use of our sery-
Ice. 1t Is my sincere hope that our
Wyandotte staff will be able to de-
velop a close working relationship
with Mr.. Payette and his assistant
This would be facilitated if We were
housed in the same building.
The main function of this agency
Is to help strengthen and develor
family life in Wyandotte. We are
anxious to do all that is possible to
insure good service to the commun-
ity which We both serve.
Sincerely.
