Helen would, in 1950, begin education at New York City’s Brooklyn College. Sometime before 1955 she would marry Alexander “Alex” Christopher Efthim. Alex’s family was born in Albania. Like Helen, Alex was also politically active and aware. He would write a Masters Thesis titled “Public relations in the Department of Welfare, New York City” at Columbia University, Masters in Public Law, 1940 after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts at Washington University on June 7, 1938. He served in the military from August 21, 1943 to 1946, specifically in the Pacific Theater and become a decorated Army Air Force Captain. As his daughter Rosi noted years later,
"My father Alex Efthim was a Captain in the Army Air Corps, combat intelligence, Pacific Theater, World War II. He always taught me in any peace march to find the veterans and walk behind them. I always have. My father was a member of Veterans for Peace, and his idea of peace was about human rights and justice. So is mine." [1]
On June 29, 1946, Alex would lead a class on organizing vets for political action, described as a "one-man lobby" against crippling OPA (Office of Price Administration). Later that year he would criticize Representative Ploeser in St. Louis, a stout conservative who lost re-election in 1948, likely in part because of Alex’s Fight Inflation Committee (https://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SBS19460710.1.20&srpos=1&e=-------en--20--1--txt-txIN-efthim-------1). By the 1960s he headed the Jimmerson Houses Committee for Cooperative Living in Brooklyn and served as a consultant for the Brownsville Community Council. [2] At the same time he was part of the "welfare warriors" as one writer called it.
Later on, on August 5, 1968, he would publish an article in The Nation titled “"We Care" in Kansas: The Non-Professionals Revolt.” (https://unz.org/Pub/Nation-1968aug05-00070). Two years later he would author a "report on study of the social service work in NENA health center." [3]
By January 1976 he would be an assistant professor at Wayne State University in school of social work. The same year he contributed to America's Working Women: A Documentary History, 1600 to the Present, a book which was edited by Rosalyn Fraad Baxandall, Linda Gordon, and Susan Reverby, along with publishing an article titled "Serving the U.S. Work Force: A New Constituency for Schools of Social Work." [4]
He was introducing social work to untraditional settings such as legislator's offices and family physician practices, and for his “advocacy” in the field of teaching he was denied tenure in 1975, although the school of social work fought for him on his behalf. [5] As Rosi wrote in later years, "...my late father Prof. Alex Efthim, another vet whose life work was teaching, community and labor organizing."
He died on October 13, 1990 in Huntington Woods, Oakland, Michigan. His obit said the following:
"ALEX EFTHIM, 73, a retired Wayne ' State University professor of social work [died recently]...Mr. Efthim was senior community organizer of Mobilization For Youth, a federally funded anti-poverty group on New York City's lower east side in the 1960s. He earlier had been education director for Local 797 of the International Association of Machinists and New York City's Hotel-Trades Council. Mr. Efthim was a captain in the Army Air Forces and served as a combat intelligence officer in the South Pacific during World War II. He also was editor of the Fifth Air Force Review. He is survived by his wife, Helen; daughter, Rosalie; a sister, and two nieces. Visitation will be 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. today at the Vasu, Rodgers & Connell Funeral Home, 4375 N. Woodward, Royal Oak. A memorial service will be held 1 1 a.m. Saturday, also at the funeral home." [6]
