LULA BENDER {SUITS aL
cose or the social Service Bureau reflects that LULA
BENDER SUITS HL of 1524 Brook Road is connected with the Moorish Science
Tenple. This record reflects that this person was born about 1874 near
’ Wieldon, North Carolina, and that she is unemployed and too old to ever work
again. According to this record, this person is dependent upon members of
} the Moorish Science Temple Church for her shelter, and she receives food and
fuel from the city funds. She is illiterate and has two children who will
have nothing,to do with her because of her religion. according to this
; record LULA\SUITS spends her spare time caring for the children of other
menbers of her faith who live at 1524 Brook Road, and the rest of the time
: she spends attending services at the HSTA. She apparently enjoys the companion-
ship of the other members of the household, and she states, "They are sufficient
unto themselves and do not care to mingle with people on the outside."
On Novenber 15, 1941 she told a case worrer of the Social Service
Bureau that children should not be permitted to attend picture shows, parties,
cr dances. When LULA was advised that pictures sare frequently educational, she
said she agreed, and for that reason moving pictures were shown in the MSTA,
and in this way the children derived a benefit from thea without going to a
‘show house" to see them. She said the rules of her church are so strict taat
very few persons attend the cectings. ;
