Fur Coats Won't Have
To Smell Like Onions

DALLAS, Tex, R-An out-ot-
court agreement has ended the
fears of a Dallas fur store that
onion odorS from an adjoining
hamburger stand would be abb
sorbed by its furs.
The fur company had sought an
injunction to prevent the ham
burger stand from moving next
door on the grounds that furs alb
sorb onion odors and that furs
that smell like onion are hard to
sell.
Under the agreement, the firm
will buy the lease from the ham,
burger stand owners for $1,000
and pay their landlord $50 per
month for six months. The fur
riers received assurances of the
landlord that he wouldn't rent the
space in the future to any food

Shori.time Care

Under brief services are listed several cate
gories OF help given by the Bureau More than
ITO individuals and families were given finan-
eial help in the form of money for rent, food
and overnight lodging and through providing
them with clothing and furniture The Di-
ocesan Homes for the Aged do their own in
take, but the Bureau helped several elderly
people and their relatives TO make applications
TO acceptable rest homes in the community.
The Bureau helped make the living arrange
ments for elderly people who lacked relatives
and could not make their own living arrange
ments. The staff members OF the Bureau were
frequently called upon to address groups in
the community and al every opportunity tried
to interest people in the needs OF the aged for
care by their own children and relatives, for
friendly neighborly visitors and for good rest
homes for the bedridden older citizens of the
community. During 1855 on 200 occasions the
Bureau was asked TO find domestic help for
families who wished 10 employ middle aged
or elderly woman or teen-age girl in exchange
for home and minimum wages. In few cas-
e. the Bureau was able to help secure house
keeper but in most cases il was necessary to
refer these people TO employment agencies.

the sons and daughters of unmarried mothers
for whom care was provided until their moth
ers could reach a sound decision regarding
their own and their children's future. Addi-
tional reasons why children needed placement
away from their parents during 1855 were i'm
adequate supervision by parents, tensions ex-
listing between parents and children, the chill
dren's need for training, the death of par
ent and the rejection of children by their par
ents. Ordinarily diocesan care of infants was
needed for less than six months and the aver
age for older children was about two years.

the agencys retirement plan to help deter
mine the value of benefits given in return for
the premiums paid by the agency and its en-
ployees. The Advisory Board sent a letter to
Mr.. George Sokolsky cordially but firmly in
forming him that he was not accurate in his
newspaper criticism that religious institutions
were not being conducted for the good of the
children. The Advisory Board prepared state
ment outlining civic, religious and economic
reasons why the agency could not agree with
national and local social workers who thought
that basic child care activities should be trans
ferred from private agencies to public agen.
