Hennepin Council, X. c.: Catholic
Charity" was the subject treated by
Reverend James Donahoe in his ad-
dress before the members of this coun-
Gil in Minneapolis on Monday evening,
January 27. The speaker pointed out
that the members of every Catholic
fraternal organization should make it
!, their business to know the nature of
the Catholic relief work done in the
community, should give preference to
those charities in their support of re-
lief work, should be particularly
:. familiar with the needs of those Cath
olics who depend on charity. When
. thus equipped with knowledge of the
: situation they are in a position to aid
: their organization in acting wisely
along charitable lines. Father Donahoe
contended that the generous treatment
of needy Catholic families is the
> wisest and most effective policy mas
much as it prevents delinquency of
, Catholic boys and girls by enabling the
!, mothers to remain at home with their
!. children and raise them properly.
. Forcing the mother to work is equiva-
: lent to leaving the children exposed to
the countless demoralizing influences
which multiply the number of youthful
delinquents. Father Donahoe men
toned his advocacy, before the state
: legislature, of a mothers pension bill,
e and expressed the hope that the pres
- ent bill would pass, though it is not
, quite to his liking. He would like to
u have it include deserted wives as well
as widows. Miss Sara Fitzgerald
: agent of the Hennepin county proba
ton office, outlined in brief the meth.
DDS of looking after children that are
Z placed on probation through the
/ juvenile court.
