B. Mother O'Hara Believes U. S. Is | In Sendin

Mother O'Hara

Father O’Hara

President of Notre Dame; Points to Early Life and Education in Latin-America.

By EDWIN HEINKE

Modesty is a virtue in the O’Hara household, but secretly the 81-year-old mother of the Rev. Fr. John O'Hara, presi-

. dent of Notre Dame University, is mighty proud of her son.

In the old homestead at 3164 N. Illinois St., mellowed by 30 years of living, Mrs. Ella C. O'Hara rocks contentedly in

Employment Service ‘Makes Survey of Anticipated Work in Stores.

Nearly 4000 extra Christmas sea-

son workers will be hired through the Indianapolis office of the Indiana State Employment Service, it

‘was announced today.

A survey of holiday employment opportunities was conducted by the office among most of the merchants in Indianapolis. Many interviewed indicated that they would use the facilities of the employment service in recruiting their extra personnel, according to George J. Smith, man-

er. - “Several employers have discon‘tinued taking job applications and are directing all workers to wish to be considered for employment in their stores to register with the Employment Service. chants have a regular contingent force from which extra “help is drawn whenever needed,” Mr. Smith said. ; Ne The employment service files at this time contain the application cards of hundreds of persons with qualifications entitling them to one or more of the variety of occupations found in retail establish-

could, Mrs. O'Hara simply couldn’t think of an outlandish prank that could be credited to Father John when he was a lad. “He really was a good boy and always wanted to .do the right thing,” Mr. O'Hara related. “For a boy, maybe he was a little bit too serious.”

A Determined Will

But Father John did have a strong will, she recalled. “He never gave up anything that attracted him very much and whatever he wanted he waited until

warned Oklahoma Indians today against joining an organization promising that Congress will pay them $3000 each. He said a group is seeking $1 a piece from Indians on such a promise. The Indians also have been promised that by payment of an additional $1 for each of their dead relatives they will receive $3000 for

he saw a chance and then he went out and got it,” his mother said. But Father John again was a modest man and never pushed himself into anything, she added. «I hardly ever had to correct him,” she mused. Mrs. O'Hara always knew her boy wanted to be a-priest. “Of course, that pleased me but I didn’t want him to be a priest just because I wanted him to be,” she said. . “T just prayed to God and I knew that if God wanted him to, he would become a priest.” Father John always was deeply interested in religion and read many religious books as a boy, she said. ;

Regular Visitor

Father John gets back to the old homestead about every month or six weeks, his mother said. What does Mrs. O'Hara think

‘|about Father John being president

of the university? “Well, the way I look at it, he has a lot of responsibility,” she answered. It was natural to ask Father John’s mother about. Notre Dame’s football team. ; “It seems they're very successful,”

Mrs. O'Hara has never seen‘ a football game and therefore doesn’t know anything about it, she said. “But I always like to have them win,” ‘she ‘declared. Father John now goes to football games where before he would miss one: once in a while, she said. Father O'Hara is in fine health despite an early illness that forced him to spend some time at a ranch in Arizona, Mrs. O'Hara said.

In Good Health

Mother O’Hara thinks that her son is well equipped for the appointment as a member of the American delegation to Peru. ; He has an excellent South American background. For Father O’Hara, as a young man: and before his entry into the priesthood, spent several years in the Latin American countries and attended two colleges there. - Since that time he has continued his personal contacts and developed inter-American relationships. both through the university and repeated visits. ; : A fluent speaker of Spanish, ‘he

He also attended the Jesuit College there and another school in the

His father, meanwhile, had been shifted - to the diplomatic post of Consul at Santos, Brazil, in the heart of the vast Sao Paulo coffee

O’Hara nearly missed coming back to Notre Dame to graduate and join the. teaching staff of the school of which he is now president.

He was offered an attractive post

with a large coffee concern and for

a time seriously considered accepting. Perhaps this accounts for the
