An informal meetinE of the board was held at the
Monticello Hotel to discuss the letter to be ixitten and mailed
to the nearest of kin to the men and women in service. The
purpose of the letter is to request the address of the men and
women in service in order that a questionnaire may be mailed
to them to secure information concerning their plans for post
war jobs. Mrs. Gordon Smith presented the letter and it was
approved by the board. Mr. Haden and rv,rs. Nunnally we, e com-
missioned to handle the details of getting this letter printed
and mailed.
l+r'ir. Randolph, Chairman, read a letter to the Board
from Mr. Peterson, of the Albemarle County Chamber of Commerce,
in which the latter suggested the members of our Commission meet
with the Chamber of Commerce members at an early date to discuss
work done by this organization. As the County Planning Commission
had only recently begun to function, it was decided that a meeting
with Mr. Peterson's group would be more beneficial in the fall.
Mr. Randolph turned the letter over to Mrs. Nunnally, Secretary,
to be handled as suggested.
Mr. Shelton,of the State Planning Board, brought to
our attention the fact that there were cases of servicemen
returning fzom the war whose nervous condition made it difficult
for them to adjust to their home: life, and also for their
faa:i�ilies to understand them or know ho-; to treat them. Mr.
Randolph informed the board of such a case in his oz,rn neighbor-
hood. Plus. Nunnally said th-'t at Red Cross Headouarters in
Lawson General Army Hospital at Atlanta, Georgia, letters
were written to the Home Service Department of the local
Red Cross Chapter notifying them of the servicemen returning
home in such condition, and suggesting they Zive a~d and
assistance to these men when needed. The Board agreed with
SFr. Shelton that something should be done to handle such
cases.
As there was no further business, the meeting was
adjourned. Those present were Mr. Larned Randolph, Chairman,
Mrs. Gordon Smith, 11r. Henry Haden, Mr. Henry Bush, !ax .Ray
