Soon after he had become one of the dry's leading industrialists. this General Motors pioneer found a practical and successful way to express his interest. He served two years as mayor (1912-13) during a period when the swiftly growing city was beset with municipal problems, with 40,000 people sharing facilities adequate for 10,000. As a private citizen, he provided a building for Hurley Hospital, started a medical and dental clinic for children, helped to establish (he YMCA and the Boy Scouts, Nine years after the Foundation was incorporated for philanthro- pic, charitable and educational purposes, it became a major factor in the life of Flint through organized schoolground recreational activities that developed into the nationwide community school/community education pro- gram. From this start, the Foundation's major concern has been the well-being of the community: the individual, the family, the neighborhood, the systems of government. This interest has continued to find expression in Flint and also has taken us far beyond our home city. Since no one has all the answers to what makes a community work, we support a variety of approaches. This report deals with the avenues that we explored in 1978 while mindful of the founder's motto, "Let us be known by our deeds," and mindful also of the words he once added to that motto: ". and not by our monev." Spiritual Problem Solving At times the burdens of the world seem fellow man.
