HOODLUMS' PRIEST
(Continued)
Father Clark inspects dormitory at St. Dismas House.
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."

"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."
