The penniless parents and four children, who had come to Detroit in an unsuccessful search for work, had been evicted from a relative's home without transportation or money. Goins housed them in a motel and his own home over the Fourth of July weekend, until Travelers Aid could arrange for their return to Texas. "The generosity and spirit of caring by Earl Goins is an example to us all," said Marth Wylie, society director.
