a PAGE 6 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1966 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."

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 Marist Cage Coach Gives Resignation MARIST HIGH’S head basket ball coach, Ralph (Pete) Combs has resigned his coaching and teaching duties to take a posi tionheading up the Athletic Di vision of Everett Roach Spot- ing Goods Co., Atlanta. The announcement was made by Father Vincent P. Brennan, Marist president. Phil Harman, athletic direc tor and B-Team basketball coach will serve as interim vare sity coach until a replacement is found, according to Father Ralph Vedros, Maristprincipal. MR. COMBS leaves Marist after about six years in which .his teams won 128 games and lost 58. Included in this record was two region cage champion ships. Marist officials said, “Itwas with a deep sense of loss and regret that we accepted Pete’s decision. He has been a credit Holy Family Hospital Meet v JTHE HOLY Family Hospital Auxiliary will hold their third annual luncheon meeting on Thursday, January 27th, at the Atlanta Americana Motor Hotel.

COACH COMBS said, “I re ceived a real good offer in busi ness and decided now is the time to make a change. I have sin cerely enjoyed my association with Marist and regret leaving such a fine school, but, this offer was too good to pass up." has the drama of this instance. There are many hours spent in the solving of what many would consider commonplace prob lems and situations. Miss Ho gan devotes the same sinceri ty of effort and untiring devo tion to these chores as she would to the more pressing. In addition to the other po sitions mentioned, Miss Hogan also has served as a Supervisor of Catholic Family Counseling, Boston, Mass.
