we've recognized that programs
must be established to aid in
this adj ustment.
But what of the young adult
who also needs the benefitof the
social and cultural interchange
of ideas, recreation and orien-
tation? The problem recently
came into the open in Detroit,
and steps are being taken
to work on this pressing prob-
lem.
Especially vital is the ori-
entation or re -- orientation of
Jewish young men and women
into the fold of the synagogue
and our cultural organizations.
In the Oak-Woods section,
the young adult problem is
especially acute. There are
several families whose chil-
dren fall into the young adult
category, but are there enough
to form a special group and
plan special events and pro-
grams? -
The question came into focus
this week when we received cor-
respondence from a woman in
Oak Park whose daughter now
attends Wayne University. The
young lady in question would
like to know how many other
