Less U, More H. Co-Author Frank's tear-shot camera eye pans in on Sheilah Graham when she was still Lily Sheil, a grimy Cockney moppet of six being carted away to the East London Home for Orphans. The eight orphanage years were Dickensian. Eventually Lily found a job as a skivy (housemaid) but soon chucked it. She had a chance to demonstrate a U-shaped toothbrush ("It fits the inside of your teeth") and her pearly performance caught the eye of U-born Major John Graham Gillam, D.S.O.

The second-hand paper bags C.Y.O. staffers saved all year to fill with candy were thrown away unused.

...Casualties. Of 27 major activities related to C.Y.O., twelve are dead or have been served with a death warrant, four have been transferred to other agencies, two have been cut down and turned over to Catholic Charities, four have their fate in doubt. Among the casualties: If Sheil Institute, a commercial college. Attended mostly by young adults with daytime jobs, it required all students (15% Negro, 30% non-Catholic) to take a course in business ethics along with their other work. It will close in January. ¶ The Sheil School of Social Studies, set up to provide adult education...
