When Louis Jacobucci addressed the December meeting of Cape Cod Community Council on family service programs, he reviewed attempts made to form a Cape Cod family service agency as far back as 1957 and strongly recommended immediate action to do so again. Presently the executive director of the Cape Cod District, Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, he has had prior experiences in the family service field
Mr. Jacobucci frankly pointed out the disadvantages of a new and separate agency to administer family service as opposed to the ideal solution, a pooling of existing agencies such as his under one administration to include all services needed in the family circle. Under one roof, without duplication of effort or splitting of the family whole, a coordinated agency would provide complete service of counseling, child protection, psychiatric treatment adoption asslsance alcoholism clinic, etc.
Admitting that comprehensive service agency of this type is long distant, he reaffirmed the need for a family service agency even if it will only begin to meet the needs on Cape Cod. He explained what a family agency is and does, quoting from the manual,
"Range and Emphasis of a Family Service Program. ' ^
Organizational requisites include board leadership, effective public relations, competent staff, appropriate housing and equipment and sound agency financing. Such as agency he said, belongs in a united fund. To procure qualified staff, the agency must be prepared to meet present-day competition in salaries, benefits and working conditions. Basic professional qualifications should require two years' professional study at a graduate school of social work. Mr. Jacobucci emphasized that the casework program should have Ihe central place in the agency's operations, providing skilled counseling services, and with criteria for the selection of cases. The agency should also participate in community planning via conducting group educational activities, he said

"So, look. Miss Andrews."
"Yes."
"You understand this is a very serious charge to bring against anyone."
"Yes."
"Let alone your own brother."
"Yes."
"It never happened."
"Well, actually, it kind of totally did."
"You are deluded."
"Well, that may be, but I would submit that my mental health history is a result of having stuff like that done to me in the first place."
"You lie."
"I don't, actually. In fact, this is the first...

"What?!"
"I didn't say anything."
"How can you say such a thing?"
"I'm not going through this again."
"What do you mean?"
"All this -- denial. I'm done. I'm just going to say exactly what happened as I remember it."
"It never happened!"
"The reason I know it happened is that I renember it. I was eight years old. My brother was twelve years old. I was able to recover the date because I remember at some point in the week preceding the event, our father for some reason had told us, I'm going to be speaking at the Unitarian Church this Sunday at 11:00. It did not seem weird to me at the time, because he was always out of the house anyway. Plus all he used to when he was home was harangue me, so good."
"You lie."
"In fact, I remember thinking, it made sense that he would get something going on Sundays, because that was the only time he was ever even around anymore. Weekdays he was working, of course, and weeknights he was always at one of his many, many important community ...
