The first egg that Ezra Hardnead
ever ate was bad-unquestiOnab
bad,
That was years ago, but with
Ezra the memory has become an
obsession. "All eggs are bad!" he
cries. Away with them! Away
with the hen that lays them!" No
use reasoning with Ezra. He's an
egg bigot.
Unfortunately bad eggs are
not confined to the breakfast table
Humanity too has it's quota-all
races, all classes, all religions. But
the Catholic bad egg seems to
smell worse, taste worse, and re-
fleet most on the hen that lays it.
Why is this, when the Catholic
Church claims to be holy? Can a
bad egg come from a good hen?
Certainly not! But bear in mind
that no hen ever laid a bad egg
The egg that makes you run for
dear life, was, when first laid, just
as fresh as the delicacy that de-
lights your palate and nourishes
your body. No fault of the hen if
few of its products roll out of
their place in the scheme of things,
into the corrupting heat of the
world
In like manner the Catholic
Church never produced bad man.
The bad egg" Catholic was, i'm
mediately after Baptism, just as
pure as the saints and angels. No

The 276 families admitted as new

washington is very bad place to
live for many thousands of families
who occupy its slums, its cheap
rooming houses and the residue Of
it's old alley dwellings," John Ihlder,
executive officer of the NCHA, said.
These are the $4,000 families of
the submerged "one-fifth" of the

substandard dwellings in the city

said. The reason is because IN 194l
public housing agencies were di-
rected to put aside their programs
in order to house war workers for
whom private enterprise did not
provide" he added.
The greater part Of this tenn
porary housing is now being as

NCHA, the rental private housing,

the report said. 80 we may hope
for some rental reductions. But
there is a reduction limit beyond
which private enterprise cannot go,
because 1t must make profit"
The 1884 housing units,
nearly all temporary, are rapidly
going to pieces" the report said.
Their replacement, NCHA believes,
belongs in a program Of private
housing plus public housing"
Such a program. Mr.. 1hlder ad-
vocated, should provide an adequate
supply of proper dwellings for
everybody. The line where private
and public housing meet, he sug-
gested, should be determined by the
