march into the hall.
The handful Of monks have
given away as many as 500. 900
free meals q year. The number
h decreasing now, but there
remain many men who are too
old or otherwise incapacitated.
And anyway, when the war
boom is past. the Capuchin
monks expect TO find more
mouths than ever to feed in the
inevitable reconstruction days
after the war. The rebuilding
that they need to do on their
building will be valuable for
years 10 come.
Hence we remind you Of the
current drive, and remind you
also that, " you're not past the
dancing age, that you can help
- the fund by going to the dance
at Eastwood Park this Saturday
night. Dick Stables orchestra
will play. and the profits will go
TO the monastery.
The party is being given by
the Metropolitan Interfraternity
and Sorority Council, and the
youngsters are doing a whale of
job in behalf of the bearded
monks and their soup kitchen.

1851 have told me that they'll
even deliver tickets TO people
who call and want to buy a
ducat or two TO the Eastwood
narty. In other words, they're
serious about IL.
We can't mention all the
chool-agers who are pitching in

fast room and the guest room
~ the monastery which contains
the only carpet I'm the whole
building-the monastic life is
anything but luxurious.
Our companion, Chuck Gersh-
enson, commented on how quiet
and peaceful IL was, which led
the young monk to remark:
"Yes, it's like another world
In here. You can get away from
the rush and nervousness. Some
times 7 get To looking forward
te my next opportunity TO get
outside for time. But when
I'm away for three or four days.

That led II don't know lust

they get along without a femi-
nine hand TO tidy things UP.
The monks. il seems. not only
don't miss the feminine tidying
up. but are glad that they don't
have women around.

or suuabbling. We get along
very smoothly together"
We made some comment tc
the effect that women-bleSS

upon 10 be a disturbing element
and even seemed TO derive con
siderable pleasure from SQUAD
bling. either with men or among
themselves.
The young monk nodded. %
