Park fathers produced little evi- dence that they wanted the kind of wide-ranging serv- ices being offered under Jewish communal aspects to help single-parent mothers cope with their problems. Rona Small, program di- rector at the Denver Jewish community center, reported she made her informal in- vestigation after a Jewish Welfare Board consulta- tion on single-parent fami- lies at which professionals said this group is "virtually absent" from such service agencies' programs. She reported that the men she talked to "professed the same degree of knowledge about the availability" of Jewish communal services "and categorically rejected both existing services and the postulated alternatives." Ms. Small said she found that the fathers were deeply involved "in Wait Gallakti ANNOUNCES act auction Saturday, June 21 Preview: 8:30 P.M. — Auction: 9:30 P.M.

One had re- tained sole custody of his children. The others main- tained relationships with their former wives "de- signed to insure them a role in all decisions re- garding their children. All visited frequently and reg- ularly with the children and felt they had warm positive relationships" with them. She said her sample was small and that the informa- tion she had collected was "in no way proof that the myriad difficulties of absen- tee fatherhood are a thing of the past." Child care service was a priority item for the fathers who said such service "must become more available and priced for easy accessibil- ity." Of all existing services, child care through camps and day care centers was the one most frequently used by the single-parent fathers. Ms. Small said the fathers told her that they, like any parent, single or married, could benefit from getting more insight into their rela- tions as parents through family counseling but they rejected "the premise that they were less adequate or more in need of guidance solely on the basis of their having terminated a marital relationship."
