them, but she felt guilty about
putting him in a hospital when he
didn't want to go.
At last Mrs. G. decided that per-
haps the Family Service Associa-
ton, which she had been reading
about in the papers as helping
people with problems, could do
something for her. If ever there
was a problem, this was certainly
one.
And that was lucky day for
Mrs. g.! Because Mrs. G. started
to have weekly interviews with
the counselor at Family Service
who is called a "caseworker" and
is trained and experienced in help
ing people see more clearly the
nature of their various problems
and what they can do about them.
In talking with the Family
Service caseworker, Mrs. G. was
helped to see her husbands need
for disqualification, to see that she
would not be pushing him out of
the house.. She came to realize
that she would not be criticized by
her friends and neighbors for thus
helping her husband, that by
making this decision, she would be
enormously aiding her husband

waitress. On this income two chill
dren-one in junior high and one
in fifth grade, also had to be
supported.
Tommy and Jean were no noisier
than most children, but their nor
NAL enthusiasm was awfully irri-
tating to a man who was already
worn out with pain and the burden
of dependence. Mr.. G. couldn't help
being cross and irritable, and this
didn't make him very good COM
pany, so that gradually most of
his friends stopped coming to see
him. And so loneliness and lack of
contact with the outside world
were added to his burden. Mr.. G.
really needed hospital care-spe-
cific treatments might help him
but he just couldn't bring himself
to go to the hospital.
Right in the middle of all this
trouble was poor Mrs. G. She was
worn out physically and emotion
ally; she was caught between the
children who irritated her husband
and her husband who snapped at
the children; she was sure that if
her husband would enter the hos
pital it would help all four of
MRS. THELMA RUNDT
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1951-05-10

who was too sick and unhappy to
reach this decision on his own.
Finally, Mrs. G. decided to take
this step, that it would be good
for all of them.
She was right. With their
fathers constant nagging gone,
the children became more relaxed
and happy. Mrs. G., herself, had
more time and energy to give to
herself, to her home, to her job,
to her children, and to her hus-
band. She was freer with the chill
dren, and was able to give reassur-
ance to her husband.
Mr.. G. is improving. 1t is prob
able that soon he will be home, with
some ability to get around and
to get out of the house, and,
as a consequence, with happier,
healthier, kinder outlook toward
life and toward those around him.
