CATHOLIC SERVICES 9 MISS HOGAN
Social Worker Here Reaps Job’s Reward
JULIA HOGAN looks you right
in the eye when she talks to
you. It is, for the most part, a
kind and understanding look.
However, at the same time, it
is a look which in many instan
ces tells her whether or not the
person she is looking at is lying
to her.
Her eyes, of a light hazel
color, often are one of her major
tools in her job as Executive
Secretary of Catholic Social
Services.
THE POSITION which she ac
quired eight weeks ago, coming
here from Boston where she
was District Director of the
Greater Boston Family Service
Association, asks her to pro
vide counseling and social guid
ance to Catholic families.
Sometimes in this job it be
comes necessary for her to pro
vide her clients with cash or
other necessities vital to every
day existence.
To the question, “have you
ever been conned?’’ she smiled
her smile and said, “Very sel
dom, I have pretty good eyes and
through giving the person a good
looking over and by adding what
I see to what I hear, no, 1 am
not very often fooled.*’
This is not all to say that
Miss Hogan spends all herwork-
ing hours as a human He detec
tor. On the contrary, this just
one of the many little ways in
which she performs a big job.
Her interest in social work
goes back some years.
“When I first realized that I
was interested in making my
life's work in the area of social
services, the “New Deal’ was
at its heights in America."
NEW DIRECTOR, Miss Hogan

“WE WERE immersed in
sociology in our college class
work. I saw that I was extreme
ly interested in the subject and
aimed at it for a goal in life.”
Miss Hogan is native of Ohio
and is a graduate of Saint Mary
of the Springs College, Colum
bus, Ohio.
She was awarded her Master’s
Degree by the school of social
work, University of Pittsburgh.
THIS STRONG faced woman
has served as Assistant Direc
tor of Social Services at the
Guadalupe, Kansas City, Mo.
She also served as a child
welfare consultant and Staff Su
pervisor, Kansas Child Welfare
Division, Topeka, Kansas.
The understanding face of this
woman has grown accustomed to
the fact that her each working
day will nine times out ot ten be
gin with looking into the eyes of
a person who is in trouble.
THE PROBLEMS ARE MANY.
They can be brought on because
of improper handling of family
finance. They can also stem
from alcoholism or center on
the failure of an individual to
be able to cope with problems
which for one reason or anoth
er have beset him.
One of the most frequent
heard pleas from a person in
trouble visiting Miss Hogan in
volves finances.
“One of the main problems is
over-spending," she explain
ed, “And one of the main
causes of this over-spending is
advertising.’’
“rr ALL SOUNDS so easy, the
advertising, to our young peo
ple. We have found in other
cities where firms make couples
believe buying is so easy, when
the fact of the matter is, buying
for these couples is improbable
if not impossible."
The new Executive Secretary
explained that young couples
fall prey to the over powering
burdens of credit because
.somewhere in their past life..,
they knew great deprivation,
“They hear the advertising
on radio and television, read it
in the newspaper, and somehow
they can only think about today,"
she said, “It is only after they
have gotten in debt so deep that
they realize the impossibleness
of their situation and that’s
when they come to us." She
added that often, gamblingwhen
added to the debts proves a con
tributing factor to the financial
downfall and resulting marital
turbulence in the lives of the
young married couples.
THIS WORK that got its start
when Miss Hogan while studying
sociology has proved time and
again very gratifying. She re
lated a story which actually hap
pened to her several years ago
in which such gratification was
spawned.
"A woman obviously in great
distress visited my office,"
Miss Hogan said, “Tears were
streaming down her cheeks, she
was wringing her hands. She
said she and her husband were
not getting along and that she
had been thinking of killing her
self. I talked to her for a length
of time until her tears subsided
and she was able to control her
self."
“The lady explained to me her
source of her sorrow. Her 25th
wedding anniversary was soon
approaching. She told me that
her son had been born six weeks
after she was married. She felt
that celebrating the anniversary
as her husband wanted to do
to observe their marriage date
would reveal to the son that he
had been conceived out of the
bonds of holy matrimony.
“THROUGH SOME rather
delicate maneuvering Iwasable
to get her husband, a prominent
businessman in the city, to ac
company her to my office for
talks and counseling,’’
Miss Hogan said that after a
few of these visits the couple
began to enjoy a practical dia
logue.
The key insignia when re
moved from context, was a sim
ple remark which reopened the
door of happiness for the man
and his troubled wife.
MISS HOGAN said, “Wewere
just sitting in my office having a
rather formal chat when all of a
sudden the man looked his wife
in the eyes and while holding
her trembling hand, told her
‘You know, you are a very fine
woman’.” It was from that
moment on that the lives of this
man and womanbegan to smooth
out.
Miss Hogan elaborated that
it was not solely because of the
wedding anniversary that the
woman was so distressed, but
rather this incident was the
straw which had nearly broken
the proverbial camel’s back.
The story had a pleasing epi
logue. Several months after the
ACCEPTS NEW POSITION
pair had returned to a normal
life, the lady visited Miss Ho
gan. It was then that she told
the social worker that her men
tion of suicide had been no idle
threat, for the day that she first
visited Miss Hogan’s office, she
had spent the early morning
walking along a bridge looking
into the river beneath it in a
plan of self-destruction.
THE WOMAN told her, “I
want you to know that it was a
serious business with me and I
will be eternally grateful for it
was you who saved my life."
Not all of Miss Hogan’s work

has the drama of this instance.
There are many hours spent in
the solving of what many would

would to the more pressing.
