Family Of Seven "H
Lives In Auto
CHICAGO, (i^P)—Seven persons
were driving to nowhere today.
They are the family of Norman
Strehle. They’ve been hunting a
house since July 20 when they
were evicted. Their 1936 automo
bile is their only home.
Mrs. Strehle said, “We use
friendly gas stations for sanitary
purposes and once-a-day washing
up. But eating at hamburger
stands has taken our last cent.”
At nightfall they park on a
quiet residential street and sleep
until daybreak. Then they move
on, house-hunting.
“We were afraid the police
would pick us up and separate
us,” the father said. The five chil
dren range from 2 to 9.
They had a week-end respite in
a Southside hotel, arranged by
friends.
Then they checked out, clutch
ing three “For Rent” advertise
ments and disappearing into the
crowded city.
