The three men formed the Father Dis mas Clark Foundation to run it. At a breakfast attended by business, la bor, and professional men, they raised $40, 000 to buy a run-down school in the midst of St. Louis' slum district. Shenker then wrote a check for another $40,000 a no interest loan for renovations. Today the house is equipped with mod ern kitchen, restaurant, library, recreation rooms, dormitories, barbershop, clothing store, and a nondenominational chapel. Dominating the entrance hall is a mag nificent, six-foot painting of St. Dismas. "It was done by one of the 'boys,' " said Father Clark. "He used to wrije bad checks!" The house is run on charity. Neither the church nor the state contributes to its sup port. Although a Catholic priest, Father Clark gets 90 percent of the money and help so urgently needed to run the St. Louis home from Jews. "Jews," he explains, "have a great devotion to human rights." For all his success, Father Clark feels he is walking a tightrope. "We need $30,000 a year to keep the house going," he said. "On top of that, we have a big mortgage to pay off. And there is not a man who comes here who is not, in a sense, a big problem." The money shortage may soon be eased. A Hollywood studio will screen the priest's life and work. Ten percent of the profits will go to the foundation. Father Clark looks far beyond St. Louis. He says fervently, "I will not be satisfied till I see a house such as ours in every large American city. "We have two-and-a-half million per sons in our armed forces, three-and-a-half million in our universities, and five million in prison. Building bigger and bet ter escapeproof prisons will not solve the problem. We've got to get at the cause. That, simply, is what we. are trying to do." IT "Dear God, help me grow old gracefully And without bitterness!" It is a dreary morning and I am tired. I sit at my desk and wonder if the minor achievements of existence are worth the endless struggle. The anonymous verse pasted on a card beside my typewriter rises up before my eyes. "Teach me to view calmly The changes in the fragile mechanism Which I have used so long." There is a kind of miracle in the human body. I subject mine to the constant punish ments, the fatigue, the headache, the over eating, the running and climbing and standing. It is strangely wonderful that I have inhabited this shell all these years and it continues to serve with little complaint I might profit from its example. "Deliver me from envy Of young people and their happiness." I suppose I am not yet old enough for that, but the time will come when I will re member, not with joy but in jealousy. Will I be strong enough to be glad of remem brance, rather than unkind in the loss? "Make me willing to accept Changes and new beliefs." Perhaps that Is most difficult of all. I love my rut, fearful of its variances. My creed is mine. I look askance at another. I would have been a poor pioneer, a weak crusader. I need to love the horizon, not be grateful for its distance. "Enable me to face without protest Life's inevitable afternoon." Has it come to me, or does it lie ahead? When I must relinquish the spring of my step, the firmness of my skin, can I do so gracefully? I am tired and weary of the world around me and bored with the endless procession of petty problems. The card on my desk gives me new heart I wish I could thank the un- known who created it. I find myself not so much tired now as merely resting. "Then grant me a radiant sunset And a night of peace."
