Back in the depression era, eighty per cent of the families in the Hill Dis- trict were on relief and the other twen- ty percent lived on an average income of $20 a week. Children born and bred in abject poverty flowed out into the district's streets and formed roving gangs. There was nothing for them at home, in most cases not even under- standing or training. They lived in the streets and the results of their activities added up to a record of vandalism, theft and general all-around terrorism that astonished city officials into action. On the suggestion of Howard McKin- ney, a city detective assigned to the Hill, Safety Director George Fairley and some of the most prominent names in Pittsburgh collaborated to found Hill City. Modeled after a city government, it was to have a mayor, council, judges, district attorney, police, and every other department found in the City of Pittsburgh.

The current heads of Hill City are examples of the boys that made it work. Today there isn't a gang in the Hill and general all-around juvenile delin- quency has been curbed to such an ex- tent that Safety Director George Fair- ley is on record as saying, "I don't know what I'd do without Hill City." His words are inspired by such things as last Hallowe'en when the city had one of its worst years of Hallowe'en vandalism. In Squirrel Hill alone there were 203 police calls.

November 1947 Page 11 CHAGA MARRIAGE In-law trouble comes first; East African weddings made at the home of the bride

N certain sections of Africa, men buy their wives and never get the I price paid. That, according to Father Deer of the University philoso- phy department, is one of the quaint if practical marriage customs of his for- mer friends, the Chagas. This Chaga Tribe lives on the slopes of a mountain in central East Africa called Kilimanjaro. The mountain has one particular distinction: Hemingway once used it in one of his short stories. The people of the tribe keep a few goats and cows and now and then squeeze a grain crop or two from the dry slopes of the mountain. Father had plenty of time to look at the mountain and its people. He spent fifteen years working among them. Father Deer didn't say too much about the marriage ceremony itself. He Father Deer and the Chagas explained that Jie and his fellow priests worked to Christianize the people and of course, those of their customs, mar- have shown up for the affair.

Our two friends had played tackle and end up here in the twenties. Names kept drift- ing into their memories and they had a great time recalling line-ups, old profs and anecdotes that gave us spasms. When they talked of Duquesne you could see their years slipping away; you could sense their old spirit, still healthy, still on fire. "I love every brick in that school, every brick," said one. Here was a man nearing fifty talking about Duquesne like an excited kid. "I suppose it's different on the Bluff today. The kids are different.
