Why, the best thing that ever happened to me was when I was working with a firm in Chicago and Kahn came and told me he had the biggest list of industrial architectural clientele in the country. He did too. I came up here and worked for him. "And irwas a good thing for him too. You didn't know it but Henry Ford and Albert Kahn didn't get along very well.

Ford was busy telling him what to do and Kahn was in a hurry. That's when I came in to get them together. It was a good life working with the two of them," said the 85-year-old friend of Kahn and Ford looking at all the guests and enjoying himself thoroughly: Included in the large group who attended the opening were Kahn's two daughters and sons-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. Barnett Malbin, Mr.

BY JEANNE WHITTAKER Fret Press Staff Writer The life' and works of Albert Kahn came alive Monday night as the Detroit Institute of Arts and Albert Kahn Associates commemorated the 75th anniversary of the architectural firm which was founded by the brilliant, internationally famous architect who died in 1942. On hand for the champagne preview of the showing which will open to the public on Wednesday, Sept. 16, to continue through Nov. 1 in the museum's South wing, were many of the city's leading industrial figures who daily -work in the products of his creative mind. Others who have lived and raised families in the homes which he designed for convenient living were also present.

Again and again prominent community members were silhouetted against photographs of their homes and corporate headquarters. Among the group stood a tiny Scotsman, George Scrymgeour, who reminisced about his association with the great architect.

The dictionary describes anomy as "a condition in an individual characterized by disorientation, anxiety and isolation." These loners, by virtue of the very fears which keep them alone, are usually the last to call for help. But the cases of anomy cited are people who did come for help at Family Services of Oakland County and Catholic Social Services of Oakland County. They got help. "Referrals come in many ways from the clergy, from neighbors, from public health nurses," said Terry Kasnowski, a head social worker at Catholic Family Services of Oakland County. "We get calls from neighbors who have noticed elderly people who aren't eating right and not taking care of them-s I said Helen Mc-L a consultant on the aged for Family Service of Oakland County.

"But some-times neighbors who notice such things don't know there is anyone to call." The two agencies mentioned are members of the Tri-County Family Service Council. All agencies in the council, despite the "family" in their name, serve these lonely people and want to find ways to let the lonely people know that someone cares and can help.

Calling the '70s "the" decade for women," Mrs. Burnett bubbles over the interest local groups have taken in NOW.

"We're trying to spread our message to the quiet, middle class women who are frightened away by some of the islation of special interest to women, such as equal rights and child care centers. The other project concerns the way women are portrayed on television. "The Federal Communications Commission has ruled that TV and radio stations should not present anything disparaging in attitude or content toward women," said Mrs. Burnett. "To make sure that it gets enforced, we want women all over the country to monitor their sets and write to the FCC and the sta And we're trying to reach the men, the ones who find it all so hard to understand.
