Mission director leaves
for writing, relaxation
THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY, OCT 15, 1975

By CATHY RANDALL
Battalion Staff Writer
The Reverend Hugh Eiland is
leaving Bryan and the Twin City
Mission after seven years of service
as of Oct. 31.
The executive director of the
Mission and his family are moving to
Vero Beach, Florida where he said
he wants to relax and do some writ
ing- ,
I’m starting on my second 50
(years), ’ Eiland said, “and I hear it
is harder than the first 50.
“I’m sure that I’ll soon get tired of
relaxing and perhaps look into the
need of a mission in that area.
When Eiland came to the Mission
in July 1968, it had been closed for
four years because of financial prob
lems. Eiland took over and initiated
several programs.
“I accepted it as a challenge, he
said. “The first thing the directors
and I did was borrow $1,500 to turn
on lights and water.”
The Mission s goal is to rehabili
tate destitute persons by aiming
them toward productive work. The
Helping Hand stores were opened
in 1968 on Main Street in Bryan,
across from the Mission. They pro
vided work for the men who re
paired donated furniture and
appliances.
Another revenue-producing
program was converted from a
$2,000 a year deficit to a $6,500
gain. The Mission collected junked
refrigerators in the vacant lot be
hind the mission and carried them
to the dump. Eiland began to sus
pect that the same items were reap
pearing in the lot every six weeks or
so.
He proved this by marking the
bottoms of the refrigerators with a
red pen.
“What was happening was people
would pick up the refrigerators at
the dump and when they found out
how much it costs to repair it, they
would call the Mission to pick it up,
Eiland said.
Eiland was perplexed about the
problem.
“You don’t ask a middle class fam
ily when they call to donate some
thing if they got it at the city dump,”
he said.
“I got the idea to dismantle the
refrigerators which would bring in
income and give the men an oppor
tunity to work,” he said.
“Although the program has never
shown an overall profit it ac
complishes our goal, he continued.
“The motivating factor behind all
the work of Twin City Mission is to
share the fact of God s love for all
humanity through our concern and
actions,” a Mission newsletter says.
Fifty per cent of the Mission’s
labor is involved with the paper re
cycling center on San Jacinto Street.
The center, which opened in
November 1973, provides
therapeutic work in a semi-
structured atmosphere, Eiland
said.
“Ninety-five percent of our
Hugh Eiland
people have a serious or acute al
cohol problem, and all have a jail
record as long as your arm, ” he said.
"The skid row alcoholic is not a
dnmmy-type of fellow, Eiland
said. The average education of the
men being treated at the Mission in
1974 was 9.9 years. More than 10
per cent had some college educa
tion.
Their work backgrounds revealed
that 38 per cent were non-skilled,
while 29 per cent were skilled and

1.8 per cent were professionally
skilled. Many came to the Mission
with repair skills.
In 1973 the Mission started a de
toxification facility.
“This is for the person who has an
alcohol flow in his bloodstream and
needs to be under close supervi
sion,” Eiland explained.
Eiland’s wife, Georgia, a nurse, is
ofteu called at night to diagnose a
patient at the Mission who has gone
into delirium tremors.
“I am so tired ofhearing that you
can build up a tolerance to alcohol.
It just isn’t so,” Eiland said.
The Reverend was in a hurry to
deliver a load of furniture Tuesday
afternoon. Whenever one of the
men goes “off the wagon ”, either
Eiland or Colonel Leron
Schoenemann, a member of the
Mission’s board of directors, must
take over their duties. This ranges
from driving to cooking.
In May the Mission became the
sponsors of an Emergency Child
Care Shelter. The facility, located at
506 W. 27th St., houses children
who have been abused neglected or
abandoned. The center, which has a
10-bed capacity, serves seven coun
ties.
“There is a lot of community in
terest in this program,” Eiland said.
“I think this is because everyone has
been a child, but not everyone has
been an alcoholic. ’
Schoenemann will assume Ei
land’s job until the board hires a
replacement.
“We are looking for an ordained
minister with experience in this
type of work, Schoenemann said.
He said the salary was flexible,
hut the least amount was about
$10,000.
