...when the Chronicle inaugurated Mrs. O'Connor's bureau, every bigwig from Mayor Angelo J. Rossi down had a good word for her as she tackled her first day's work: Advised a jobless old woman how to find a home, helped a mother control a wayward son, offered suggestions to aid a man with a brother in San Quentin, rescued the residents of a trailer camp from ousting by health officials.

Critics agreed that it would interest Catholics, clear up for non-Catholics many a misapprehension about life in a nunnery. Devoted specifically to redeeming wayward girls, the Good Shepherd sisters have some 300 houses throughout the world. They differ from most other sisterhoods pictorially (flowing white robes instead of the usual black) and in organization. As postulants maidens of 21 or over may enter the order of their free will, become novices after six months' probation...
