Outlook bleak for nation’s homeless By The Associated Press For tens of thousands of homeless Americans. Thanksgiving dinner will he turkey on a paper plate dished out by charity workers and seasoned by the bitter contrast between cozy holiday images and their own grim prospects as winter sets in. And with the numbers of homeless on the rise in many cities, shelter workers are wor ried about how they will accom modate them, particularly if the winter is very cold. In New York, the city is hous ing more people now than it did during the coldest part of last winter, said Suzanne Trazoff. spokeswoman for the municipal Human Resources Administra tion. The city's It) shelters cur rently are housing 7,783 men and women, and there an? 3.959 families in hotels and other tem porary housing, she said. i.ast year at this time, the city had 0,781 individuals in 10 shelters and 3.270 families in temporary housing, she said, and at winter's worst, there were 7.BOO people in shelters. "1 would say In the past few years there has been a signifi cant increase," said Jackie Edens, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Department of Human Services, which coordinates about 40 shelters. "The term 'new poor' is not a figment of someone's imagination A lot of people are a paycheck away from Iniing homeless." Those who work with the homeless cite a number of reasons for the increase, in cluding a shortage of low-cost housing, deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill and high unemployment among many groups. They also note that they are seeing more and more single women with children. In San Francisco, when; the number of homeless appears to have stabilized, "the unusual find. . is the dramatic increase in the number of women and children seeking refuge or a hot meal. It's the feminization of poverty.” said Jim Buick. depu ty director of the mayor's criminal justice council. /•CAMPUS AREA v Hah Taiftiw % *9.50 Haircuts (im lud«-s shampoo & style) Spot idli/ing in cuts from Asian lo Curly Hair 792 E. 11th • 485-6363 Coupon |cot II ll I L Agate Video Presents...

In addition to broaching the subject of hunger in each of their strips, the cartoonists have asked newspapers to give over some space on the comic pages for ads soliciting dona tions for USA for Africa. "The comics page has always been something of a public utility; it is simply there, day in ami day out for HO years, a totally dependable part of our national culture." the reclusive Trudeau said in a statement. "VVluit better way to reach people than through characters they've known all their lives?
