ST. L0UIS-(NC)-More than
half the families in the United
States received less cash income
than is required to maintain the
"city workers family budget" dur
ing 1949, a study by the Institute
of Social Order at st. Louis Uni

The results of the study are de-
tailed in the February issue of the
institutes monthly magazine, So
cial Order. The study showed that
during that year more than 4,700,-
900 families in the country had
less than $1,000 cash income; that
some 100000 families received
between $1,000 and $4,000, while
more than 100000 families re-

Counselor Urges
Old-Time Dating,
Early Marriage

CLEVELAND-(NC) - "The So
called old-fashioned dating, in
which the young man called at the
home of the girl, met the family,
and shared in the family fun
should become popular again as a
means toward happier marriages.
That belief was expressed by
the Rev. Martin Scully, who has
instructed more than 1900 couples
in preparation for marriage.
He blamed parents to some ex.
tent for delayed marriages, de-
claring they all too often coddle
their children and try to make
life easier for them. Good-paying
jobs held by young women also
loom as barriers to early mar.
riage, he added.
The time to marry, said Father
Scuiiy, is when both parties are
emotionally ready and have a full
understanding of the sacrifices
which marriage entails. Unless
the man who bowls twice week
and spends Saturdays and Sundays
on the golf course is ready to
give up those pleasures for the
companionship of a wife and the
responsibility of home, he is not
prepared for marriage, said the
priest. The young woman who
does not like children and is un
willing to assume the RESPONSE
bility of motherhood is not ready
| for marriage, either, he added.

NEW YORK-(NC)-Solution OF

discrimination is immoral, John P.
Davis, Negro publisher, told a for

Council here.
Discrimination against any child
of God is a violation of the funda-
mental teachings of Christianity,
Mr.. Davis declared.
He praised the Catholic Interrac-
ial Council for basing its program
on moral principles. He advocated
"moral crusade against anti-dem-
ocratic discrimination of Negroes
in this country" and recommended
return to the spirit of abolition
lists whose courage stemmed from
moral indignation at the grave
moral wrong of slavery"

WASHINGTON-(NC) A mod
ern-day Martin de PORES will par
ticipate in a special celebration at
the Blessed Martin de PORES
House here, Nov. 5, marking the
feast day of the sanity 18th cen
tury American Negro.
He is Llewellyn Scott, a 5-foot
one-and one half inch Pentagon
clerk who devotes his salary to
operating the house, feeding daily
from 65 to 30 men down on their
luck, and providing beds for %
night.
Color Doesn't Count
After his regular days work Is
over, the 51.year-old Negro buys
food for the evening meal, super
vises its preparation and serving,
and performs all the varied other
duties of directing an interracial
center. Living at the house him
self, he even dresses in donated
garments. He estimates that he has
helped at least 1000 men through
the years, whites as well as
Negroes.
Men staying at the center, and
an interior decorator who volun-
teered her services, have renovat-
ed the interior of the three-story-
and.basement row house in a
Negro section a haif-dozen blocks
from the capitol to prepare for
Blessed Martins feast day. A
"brother," as Mr.. Scott refers to
benefactors, gave go to buy ven
etian blinds.
This particular house was open
ed In November of 1949 by Mr..
Scott. He started the first house
in 1898, and thus far has operated
units at three different locations.
Things were difficult at times -
when ore landlady "found out
what was doing, she put me out, )"
he recalls.
Then there was the time health
department inspectors were in
sistent that Mr.. Scott obtain tight
fitting garbage cans.
"Poor people don't have gar
bage," Mr. Scott told them. "Do
you see any garbage?"
Rather than rely on the Lord
providing through charitable con
tributions, he has clung to his job
so that n regular source of revenue
is available. Contributions are re-
ceived by the house, and Washing
ton Archdiocesan Catholic Chari-
ties helps out. but Mr.. Scott's pay
check Is still the mainstay.
With approximately $3.50 a
month from his salary he pays for
coal and other utilities, food, taxes.
and 500 rent for the house itself.

he adds succinctly.
Chicken Every Sunday

range to provide the evening neal.
"It'll all 60" Mr.. Scott grins. For
the special Sunday dinners he buys
20 pounds of chicken backs and 10
pounds of rice.
Donated equipment at the house
includes an organ, clothes wash
ing machine, and three refriger-
ators. He hopes to turn in two of
the refrigerators on deep freeze,

Cross Brother usually comes by
one night a week, and talks to the
men. Religious instruction classes
for neighborhood children also are
given at the center by Brothers.
Archbishop Patrick A. o'Boyle
of Washington has visited the CEN
ter, and was much impressed.
A highlight Of Mr.. Scott's life
was when an anonymous donor
gave him $1,000 to make a Holy

sights of Christian Europe-in-

there would be no one to run the
