A man, struggling in the doorway w ith a piano, welcomed the offer of asstince from a passer-by. A fresh struggle began. and after about half an hour's pulling and straining the owner of the piano remarked: "At this rate it will take us hours .to get the blinkin' thing out." "Out ! '• cried the helper. "Why didn't you say you wanted it out? I've been trying to push it in!" "What do you think of Shelley?" asked the highbrow of his friend. "Don't you think he employs too many metaphors?' "Yes," saki the friend, who had no pretensions to cleverness; "I think he ought to give British workmen a chance sometimes." A lad employed by one of the big chain stores turned up to work one morning in a new car. The manager heard of it and fearing that the boy might be getting into debt, sent for him. "How is it,- he asked, "that you can afford to run a car on two pounds ten a week?" "Quite easy, sir," replied the youth "There are two hundred people ern. ploved in this shop.

To Reduce Crushing Debt on Cathedral "Block Collection" to Replace Old Methods Generous Response Anticipated Whatever criticism may be levelled against the State of W estern Australia and its people, none have, nor can, question their astonishing generosity. This noble characteristic has been the subject of continuous comment from travellers and people from other States. And while its general application is perfectly just, its specific reference to the Catholic people of this State needs no modification. They erected a glorious Cathedral, furnished it lavishly, and with incomparable taste, and have now given it an external setting which is unrivalled in Perth, and possibly in Australia. But. despite their unfailing readiness to contribute towards the great cost, they were yet only a handful of the State's population—a bare fifth. So that, despite every effort, the debt on the Cathedral has accumulated, and unless it is resolutely faced in this early period, it will grow into proportions difficult to estimate and practically hopeless to reduce. Although a new appeal may sound like a new hardship, our Latholic people will realise that it is both the kindest and the \V iz•est move to face it now while it is within measure, rather than later when it shall have grown to undue proportions. Moreover, in the past tile methods employed were such as imposed an incalculable amount of voluntary organisation and Nvork on a large Prize pacnumber of people. kets, queen carnivals, etc.. were cumbersome to arrange, .called for giving in what amounted. to a lump sum. and on occasion w ere the source of more. worry than the revenue received justified.
the great praise which Our Lord bestowed on the widow who could contribute nothing more than a mite to the upkeep of the temple. Everything that we have done for Catholicism in Australia has been accomplished in the face of odds and is the price of sacrifice
Our schools and our churches, in the worst days of the depression, depended on the voluntary alms of our people and they were not let down. This appeal, therefore, goes out with confidence that the spirit of the past will be even eclipsed by the generous response of the future.

It is a system which commends itself from many angles. It is a weekly family contribution, and each member of the family who is earning will be asked to slip something into the family envelope. Collectors have been appointed who will call regularly each week, commencing on the first Sunday in July. and collect these envelopes. The names will be as published each week in these columns. which publication will serve as a generous acknowledgment of all donations, no matter how small. Apart altogether, however, from the natural promptings of generosity in so w9rthy a cause and one which binds Catholics in conscience, an important motive is the supernatural merit consequeht upon almsgiving to the Church. It is particularly stressed in the Gospels that men would receive measure for measure in their generosity.

A dance to raise funds for the Marv's Mount Convent at Gooseberry Hill was held at the Kalamunda hall recently. The hall was gaily decorated with streamers, balloons and wattle, and dancing was enjoyed till midnight. The annual procession in honour of the Feast of the Sacred Heart was held at Highgate Hill on Sunday, June 21, amid a very large attendance of parishioners and visitors. The various parochial societies marched in regalia, including the Children of Mary, members of the Sacred Heart Sodality. and the Holy Name Society, and the children of the Holy Angels. The processional route was from the Church to the pavilion in the Convent grounds. His Grace the Archbishop carried the Sacred Host and gave Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. • • Clad in a smart navy frock.

The mortality of infants under one year showed a slight improvement. The number of deaths in this category was 44,267, as compared with 46.989. The estimated birth rate for 1935 was therefore 15.2 per thousand, as compared with 16.1, and the death rate 15.7 as compared with 15.1. The figures for birth and death rates are only approximate. since the total of the population is difficult to estimate owing to the importance of emigration and nmigration in France. It is probable that the return of immigrants to their countries of origin during . 1935 greatly exceeded immigration, so that the population of France was still further diminished from this cause. This decline reflects the severe economic depression as well as the general downward tendency of the birth rate in France for half a century past.

Father William. 0.S.B., presiding, the Holy Name Society. amid a wondrous demonstration of Faith, was, at the conclusion of a three-days' Retreat, preached by the Rev. Fiither Truffle. C.SS.R., solemnly inaugurated at St. Patrick's. It is difficult to fittingly describe the inspiring scene on SunOn the Epistle day evening. side of the altar, and before the statue of the Blessed Virgin, were ranged the hundreds of women wearing the ribbons of the Sacred Heart Sodality, while on the Gospel side, and before the statue of the Sacred Heart, were marshalled the young men and old, to enroll themselves in the Holy Name Society, and in this hour of persecution in many lands. to range themselves, a disciplined battalion, under the standard of Christ the King. Taking fur his text the words of St. Paul to the Colossians: "We give thanks to God who maketh us triumph in Christ Jesus. and spreadeth abroad the knowledge of Him through us in every place," Father Truffle. C.SS.R., in a sermon of surpassing power, inspired the mighty gathering to glory in doing great things for God and for humanity in the years that lay before them. In congratulating the four hundred and sixty men, who. in a few moments, as members of the would Society, Holy Nam:' pledge allegiance to Christ their King, he painted a glowing picture of Mother Church down the ages to this their own day, rising hove the relentless persecution directed against her by the Godless nations who would have no King but Caesar. after the manner of Mexico, once noble Spain, and the Soviet of their time. Unlike the virgin martyr.

Fremantle Makes a Record Start 460 MEN ENROLLED Subsequently, His Grace the .Archbishop, assisted by Rev. Father Ryan. °MI., and Rev. Father William, 0.S.B., gave Pontifical Benediction to the assembled multitude. Then, mounting the pulpit, His Grace paid eloquent tribute to the Faith of the people of Fremantle. and incidentally of the Archdiocese. He thanked Father Triffle for his brilliant discourse and his great m issionary efforts during the Retreat. He thanked God for the noble labours of the Oblate Fathers in the great Catholic parish of Fremantle. The truly apostolic work of Father Neville. and now Father Kenny and the Fathers of the Community, had in an especial manner, after that night. won their respect and admiration, for it was visibly bless-
ed by God. His Grace was pleased to tell his people in Fremantle that that night was one of the happiest, one of the proudest, moments of his life. He was prepared for great things from the Oblate Fathers and the parishioners of St. Patrick's, for he had vivid recollections of former occasions; but those torches, held aloft by 460 men, and that mighty profession of Faith, with right hand raised, he had been privileged to witness, would linger long in his memory. It opened up to him vistas of hope which would encourage him in the tasks hidden in the future. With the Holy Name Society established throughout the length and breadth of the Archdiocese, no labour for God but would be possible of accomplishment in
the Archdiocese of Perth. The Archbishop exhorted the ladies of the Sacred Heart Sodality to continue to make the Sacred Heart Sociality a glory of the Church in Western Australia. "Faith of Our Fathers," sung by the congregation. concluded the sacred ceremonies. The inauguration of the Holy Name Society in Fremantle resulted in a splendid response by the members of the local C.Y.M. Society, of whom over fifty were present. The Society is heart and soul behind this movement, and confidently expects to maintain the largest Guild. It was pleasing to see the good work of Father Kenny crowned by the enthusiastic gathering ifl men which took the pledge in the presence of the Archbishop.

The bridge and euchre tournament, held in the hall on Monday night, June 22, was a great success ,which reflects highest credit on the organisers, Mrs. R yan and the Mesdlames Hogue- The installation of heaters in the large room, and a fire in the small one. proved a very •pupular innovation, and this convenience will be maintained throughout the winter months, Everything is progressing favourably for the annual ball on July 22. The decoration committee has already met and good progress has been made. Numbers of people have signified their intention of organising parties, and judging from. their enthusiasm the suc::ess of the ball would seem assured. Mr. J.

FOOTBALL AT C.B.C., PERTH
The Alcock Cup Competition CHRISTIANS WIN FROM HALE Although skies were oN, ercast, conditions for football were ideal on Wednesday, June 24, when Christian Brothers' College met Hale School at Leederville Oval. in the first match of the season's A lcock Cup competition. Alec. Christians were led by Anderson, with Kevin Needham as vice-captain, while Hale's captain was Tregonning, a capable
player, and a star of last season's t eam. A very close game was anticipated* and Hale hoped to bring Christians' long run of victories to an end. Christians had trained well, and though most of last season's stars were missing, it was a quietly confident fully -determined band that took the field under Umpire Owen. who was first "Cup" officiating in his match.
Christians, prevailing at the centre bounce, made a most successful opening and were quickly in attack, and opened the scoring. The forward play of the Terrace boys was high-class and c o-operating in great style they outplayed their opponents and at the bell had established a commanding lead It was great football that 8.3 to 0.3! had given the Christians this clear-cut supremacy.

It was a surprising result to date, and quite staggered the onlookers, who had come prepared to see a ding-dong battle. Nevertheless the play was always interesting, and chockful of incident. The pace was a cracker, and there were present all the attractive features of the national code. Hale made a gallant effort in the third quarter to check Christians' allTo their credit conquering gallop. be it said, they showed up well at this period, when they were really chasing a forlorn hope.

Guy Iserthou, who travelled from his home country on the "Urania,- to compete in the great Malvern Star Junior Chant pionslup ui 1930. ,A wonderful reception was tendered him on his arrival, when he was officially welcomed to Australia by the French Vice-Consul, Mr. P. Michelides, and the manager for Bruce Small, Pty., Ltd., of West .Australia, Mr, J. W, Nabbs. Berthou was at once gathered in by photographers and pressmen, and soon made himself at home among the strangers. This boy, who stands 5tt. 5in. in height and weighs 10 stone, is of fair complexion and a Niery excellent type of cyclist. He is a typical Frenchman, being. born and bred in the town of Brest which is the famous centre ot some of Opperman's greatest victories (Paris-Brest-Paris road race). of some years ago.

His Church into the lives of their fellow -countrymen. Already' great work has been done here in Papua during the fifty years the mission has been in existence, but the following will show you what an immense field of labour still remains: From 10 central stations. 82 secondary stations, out of a total population of about 175,000, about 36.000 scattered in 560 villages_ are ministered to, in eight different languages by 32 Priests. helped by 24 lay-Brothers, 49 white Sisters- (of whom 26 are Australians), 20 native Sisters, • 206 catachists, 79 churches, 97 village schools. 16 parochial schools and orphanages, 10 English high schools. 6 technical schools. 1 foundling hospital; Catholic population abota 2 ,000all native except 300 whites; children in schools. 4.650; orphans. 384. From the above you may see the work that is.being done by t he little band of brave mission- . aries, yet there remains a vast field still untouched. Owing to : the small number of the priests, whole villages remain untouched, but with our new Teachers' School, it is to be hoped not, for long. for God will surely look after this most important work, . and inspire many a generous soul to help Him in this, His Own work. At present we are living in an old shack till we build a house. A temporary school was erected for the boys, and while I teach in the school, Father Sorin is busy as builder. helped by the • six native Brothers. Our food consists of rice, tinned meat and fruit, but we are all very happy. . because we look forward to a . great future and the reaping of a big harvest. With our present Holy Father working so hard for the foreign missions, and seeing that so many generous-hearted priests and nuns are sacrificing themselves under most trying conditions to. bring pagan people to the Heart of Christ, surely more than mere sympathy is expected of our people at home. Each and every one must be intent on unfurling the Banner of the Sacred Heart in the midst of pagan people. All these souls are Christ's and have • been won at a great price—the price of His death. It is indeed trt.e that all cannot go to the missions, but those at home. by prayer and other means. must • do all in their power to make sure the victory in this great fight for Christ.

St. Joseph's Convent Ball
The ex -students of St. Joseph's Convent, Fremantle, held their fifth annual ball on Wednesday night at the Fremantle Town Hall. The hall was decorated with banks of gum foliage and large bowls of wattle. interspersed with clusters of golden balloons. On the supper tables, wattle, poinsettias and carnations were used. Miss Dorothy Tangney, with Miss Connie Yench as secretary, directed the arrangements, and Mrs. F. Yench presided over an energetic supper committee consisting of Mesdames M. Ryder, E. Gustafsen, J. Naylor, Bovell, J. Doyle, M. Brown, W. A. Hoey, R. Box, Treasure, Tangney, Parker. Potter, Sheridan, Hill, Durack, Coad, Sutherland, F. Townsend, Misses M. Christie, Connie Farrell, M. Vincent and L. Gustafsen. During the evening, Archbishop Prendiville received a number of debutantes, who were presented by Mrs. J. M. Farrell. These girls made an attractive study as they moved gracefully up the hall, preceded by two flower girls (Perdita Lancaster and Pat Taylor), dressed in pink satin Kate Greenaway frocks. Having made their curtsey, the debutantes rejoined their partners to dance the Valeta waltz. Miss Vera Stewart, who trained the debutantes, afterwards gave an exhibition of the Rumba and quick. step.
The debutantes were: Miss Doris Sutherland, white satin; Miss Imelda Sutherland, white crinkled georgette; Miss Jean Chapman, white georgette; Miss Deb Foley, white shadow taffeta; Miss Eileen Kenworthy, white georgette; Miss Jean Foley, white taffeta; Miss Kath Sugrue, white silk lace and silver: Miss N.

Wagin Since last we appeared in print, we have lost still more of our Catholic population. Mrs. Lowther and family, who have been well known, though unassuming, workers for the Church, have left for Northam. Mr. and Mrs. Noonan and Mrs. Gell have taken up real&nee in South Perth. It is regrettable to see all our good workers leaving the district, but we know that they will carry on their good work in their new parishes. Newcomers to Wagin, to balance things a bit. are Mr. and Mrs. Luscombe. the Lands Inspector, late of South Perth. We have seen wailing in the South Perth news because of their departure, and it cheers us to know that they are missed there. We extend them a cordial welcome and, shortly, a book of tickets for bazaar. Also, we are glad to welcome their nephew, Mr. E. Luscombe, late popular dentist and golf enthusiast, of Bunbury. His wife and family is expected to join him shortly. Ernie is no stranger to this district and his wife was born in the parish. We wish him success in his profession here. The June Ball. in spite of the noble efforts of the ladies, headed by Mesdamse Stott and Barron, was not the spectacular success of other years. However, considering everything, it was successful financially and an excellent social function. The fortnightly euchre parties are being well attended and together with the bazaar will, we hope, enable us to have the church re-painted. Strangers who expect to be in Wagin for the forthcoming Great Southern Golf Championship, on Sunday. June 28, are notified that Mass will be at 8 4.m. The novena in preparation for the Feast of the Sacred Heart is being well attepded.

Sly--Rodgers Wedding
Northam
A wedding which aroused much interest in the two towns was solemnised on April 22, at St. Mary's Church, Kalgoorlie, at 9 a.m., before a large assemblage of friends. Nuptial Mass was celebrated by the Rev. Father ,Grennan. The contracting parties were Mr. E. D. Sly, of una Mines, and recently of Adelaide, and Miss 'Annie (Dale) Rodgers, sec. ond (laughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Rodgers. of Vivian-street, Boulder. The altar was beautifully decorated with white lilies and chrysanthemums by the Sisters of St. John of God. To the strains of the Wedding March, played by Mrs. Murray. an old friend of the bride, the bride entered the Church with her father. She look. ed radiant in a becoming frock of shimmering ivory satin souple, made in Empire style with a very long train. The yoked bodice and sleeves of Limerick lace were clasped with chamante clips and orange blossom. over which fell a beautiful bridal veil, the work of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. West Leederville. The veil was of hand embroidered net and Limerick lace. A dainty tulle muff set with tiny white and pink rosebuds corn pleted a charming ensemble. Mrs. J. Dunne, sister of the bride, acted as matron of honour, and wore a Paris imported gown of white georgette, patterned in pastel shades, the deep cape and collar being trimmed effectively with rows of narrow black velvet ribbon. She wore a most becoming picture hat of black velvet, trimmed with white lancer plumes and carried a Victorian posy of shaded rosebuds, Two young nieces of the bride. Joan and Josephine Dunne, acted as train. bearers, and wore dainty frocks of dusty rose dull bloom celanese. with deep embroidered shirrings. Their halo hats were of a dull rose shade of velour. Trails of rose petals looped with satin ribbon hung from their w rists. They wore the bridegroom's gifts of signet rings. Mr. J. Dunne acted as hest man. Whilst the regis. ter was being signed- Miss K. Sheedv sang Cooper's "Ave Maria" with organ accompaniment. The wedding breakfast was served a t the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. Dunne, Hannan-street, Kalgoorlie, a large family circle and intimate friends being present, and was presided over by the Rev. Father Grennan. The bride's mother, Mrs. M. Rodgers, r eceived her guests wearing a gown of black ottoman silk with a model hat of ciel ribbon and straw. After the usual toast list hael. been honoured and the cake had been cut, the bride and groom left on their journey to Perth and thence to Wiluna. The bride's travelling frock was of Venetian red silk cloque: the yoke and inlet sleeves of richly embroidered silk net, finished with smoked and diamante buckles. Her velour model hat was of beige and had rust red accessories to match. A black velour coat with large Mink fur collar completed her toilet. The happy couple left amid showers of confetti and good wishes for their future hapToness. Many and lovely gifts were p resented them for their new home at w onna.
During the week Northam has been honoured by the visit of the Governor General. The town assumed a festive air and tried hard to do its utmost to make the distinguished visitor feel genuinely welcome. After a public civic reception in tLe Town Hall, the Goyernor was ,entertained by the municipal authorities and spent the day tour. ing around, inspecting the beauty spots and the 'farming areas around the town. In the evening he was the guest of honour at a dinner at the Commercial Hotel, given by the Town Council and attended by all the leading men of the town. The Governor left for York at 9 °clock.

Conscience and Modern Business WHAT ABOUT UNNATURAL GAIN? The Church's Judgment is Only Suspended A bank had for a customer a manufacturing firm to which it allowed a considerable overdraft on the security of its real assets-the buildings, plant, etc.—in usual way. This firm, A, had a rival, B, in which the bank had acquired a controlling majority of shares. The bank now called in its loan to A, which was forced to surrender the assets it had pledged. These were offered fur st..le to B which was ready to buy them up, thus acquiring a virtual monopoly for its products. 71. he bank both got its loan to A repaid and profited by the enormously increased value of its holding in B.

On Sunday, June 2i, the Boulder Catholic Tennis Club was officially opened. There was a very large attendance of players and spectators. Mr. T. .Ardagh, president of the club, introduced the speakers. The secretary, Mr. J. Lowry, spoke next and then Very Rev. Dr. Goody welcomed all the players and spectators. It had been his desire since coming to the parish to form such a club, to keep the young people of the parish together and to give them a good means of entertainment. He was very gratified to see so many people present, particularly the parents. As they could see, one of the courts was as good a surface as could be found on the Goldfields, and he hoped that the second court, after a little playing, would be similarly treated. He thanked Mr. Blacker and Mr. Johns. the Goldfields champions, for their attendance. Mr. Blacker and Mr. Johns then played an exhibition match, after which the players kept both courts occupied for the rest of the afternoon, An excellent afternoon tea was served by an energetic ladies' committee. On Thursday, June 8, there was a large meeting of the Boulder Catholic Young Men's Society. With the win. ter months here again, the young men are eager to improve their society, and an energetic committee is forming to organise the many various branches of the society. Very Rev.

On Sunday evening last there was a very large attendance at evening devotions.

7 1 Te Pyromaniacs It has been said that whereas truth is one, error multifarious. In the case of the supreme denial called heresy, this evermutable quality is at once the test and the trial. In the particular instance of humanitarianism this variety is strikingly evident and of such a nature that frequently two aspects of the same question contradict one Another downrightly. Take this matter of cremationCwhich %teat' the subject of .correspondence and editorial commentan our conservative ntorrting_ .euntemporary during the week. It concerns the application of a philosophy to the physical side of men. In regard to the bodies of the living the humanitarian insists on being irrationally kind, but in regard to the dead 1,e cannot desist from being incredibly crude. So valuable are the living that everything must be jettisoned in their interest. Dea h is the unpardonable sin: cremation, the fire that is not extinguish -. ed. It is a sort of fury of failure. Cremation is to-day treated -not as a debatable issue, but a, a fact which has outstripped sentimental and religious fancies. e might notice in passing that this very arrogance, antithetical to Christian fundamentals, is the straw which indicates the source and direction of the anti-Christian winds which fan the ghastly flames of the crematorium. While it is true that the theory and practice of cremation do not militate against the doctrinal authority of Christianity. there is none the less a moment in Christian experience when the mood is more vital than the metaphysic, and the instinct surer than the intellect. There is definitely both an instinct and a tradition which cremation outrages. It may be nothing more than right pride in the dignity of man, but it is enough. The late Mr. G. K. Chesterton indicated the indignity of cremation in a satirical verse which loses none of its force by being. popular :— "But Higgins is a heathen, And a bigger man than I, Yet they put him in the oven, Just as if he were a pie:. Perhaps the cardinal point against cremation is that, like other eugenic or hygienic nteasures, its sole argument is from utility. Ind its methods ate compulsory. , The cremationists will, of course, get hot under their collars in denial. But experience shows them up as having all the wisdom of the serpent and none of the simplicity of the dove. Eugenics began in theory as a liberal N.01untary movement; it continues as an established practice in Germany and States of America as a tyrannous compulsion, frequently employed as the instrument of political retribution and of suppression of the poor. It is useless for the crank to pose as a liberal, for every Catholic, at least, has been forced to realise that nothing could be more cranky than liberalism itself. We do not trust the man with the one idea, least of all, the man with the idea of fire— the pyromaniac. If he is come to cast fire on the earth, what will he but that it be kindled? • The editorial comment of the morning press on the subject stressed two aspects oi.it which it considered important. - Firstly. it claimed that the consensus of medical opinion favour d creina-. tion, and secondly, that the practice w utilitarian. To wf,' neither of these considerations has the force either of argument or We have remarked on many occasions on the curiof urgency. ous anomaly that causes secularism to appeal to authority in the face of argument, except in the matter of religion. But in this particular matter we are not satisfied that the opinion of doctors is any more important than.that of theologians or historians. Surely the plain man should be the arbiter of this question which concerns our common clay (or ashes), seeing he is found competent to judge the prior question of whether a man shall die or• live. It might well he that the medical profession tnight-in-ye an axe to A death certificate could not be challenged outside the grind. The other question of utility or expediency is a crematorium. sheer ontrage to Christian sensibilities. It is, moreover, an overt pretence to say that mere area is a consideration in Australia.

News of the Townsend Plan or "Old Age Revolving Pensions" 0.A.R.P.) has penetrated into Europe with difficulty and raised over here surprisingly little Probably only those interest. who have witnessed the cinematographic record of the Townsendite activities in the United S tates in one of those brilliantly edited films entitled "The March of Time" have obtained anything like an adequate conception of the furore which the Townsend Plan has created in the less sophisticated States of the Union.

Genius of Simplicity. The genius of the Townsend Plan, it will be remembered, lay in its startling simplicity. This simple-minded. placid middleWestern doctor with a genius for organisation and the power of enlisting. on his own behalf experts in publicity startled America by pointing out that every person of over 65 could be granted a pension of 200 dollars a month (f360 a year) without in any way upsetting the financial structure of the U.S.A. On the contrary, his plan, it was contended, would free the financial stagnation. The money could be obtained by imposing a 2 per cent. tax on all c ommercial transactions. The only condition was that every person in receipt of the pension should spend his monthly pension within the month, thereby returning at once to the general circulation of money the sum levied for the payment of the tax. Not unnaturally every person over 65 supported the idea with might and main; every person approaching that age supported it almost as strenuously, not a few of them suggesting that the pension should be paid to everyone of sixty of fifty-five or fifty. Indeed, if it worked in the case of people of sixty-five there did not seem any logical reason Nvhv 'it should not work if extended to
But this was hardly any age. fair, since people of sixty-five w ere presumably above the age when they could usefully contribute to the growth of the national wealth. Simpler Still. Even so. there was a certain complexity about the Tonwsend Plan, for the idea of taking money out of circulation by taxation and returning it into circulalation through the pensioner's certain a spending required amount of economic sense to grasp. Moreover discerning peo ple noted that a 2 per cent. tax no every transaction would amount to about 30 per cent. tax on the finished article—a very different Townsend So Mr. position. simplified it still further by suggestin-- that the money required simply could be obtained by printing notes to the required amount. pure inflation in the sole interests of old men and women. This must have given the game away. But much more eloquent of the real state of affairs was the House of Representatives' enquiry into the Plan. It disclosed that the 0.A.R.P. had raised nearly a million dollars through a monthly. ten cent contribution - from supporters of the Plan. • ' • • • The Townsend Plan ha:: -11te.,,ii dismissed as a nightm'are' not worth arguing about—hut ;woulci it work?

New Norcia Football S.I.C. v. Piawanning. On Sunday last the College team travelled to Piawanning and there met the home team. The match was very uneven and Piawanning had very little difficulty in overcoming their younger opponents. From the initial bounce, Piawanning took charge. Within five minutes they had three goals on the board. With the exception of B. Lardi, the College backs seemed • to have very little hold over their men and thus before the end of the term the home team gualed twice more, while J. Haynes goaled for the visitors. First quarter scores: Piawanning, 5 goals 4 behinds; College. 1 goal, During the next term, College forced the pace a little and were better able to hold their opponents. J. Carmody raised both flags for College within three minutes, but M. Brennan replied with a like score for the home team. This was the beginning of the end. College lost complete control of the game, and never after this gave their opponents serious trouble. Half-time sco.-es: Piawanning, 7 goals 8 behinds; College, 2 goals. From the bounce in the third guarter, Piawanning attacked the College goal. During practically all the tetm the ball was in the College back line, and only once came down to their forwards. Third quarter scores: Piawanning, 9 goals 13 behinds; College, 3 goals 2 behinds. In the last term, Piawanning did not e xert themselves over much, and consequently the play was uninteresting. However. on the whole, the Piawanning team was greatly superior to that of the College. Final scores: Piawanning, 11 goals 15 behinds; College. 4 goals 3 behinds. The hest players were H. Smith, T. B rennan, C. Reav and J. Rowles for Piawanning, while J. Knox, V. Brand, B. Lardie and J. Cameron were the best for College.

English in the Leaving Certificate THE DRAMA. A drama is a composition in prose or verse, or both, developed by action and not by narration, and meant to be acted upon the stage. The three well known divisions are: Tragedy, Comedy and Historical. "Macbeth" is a good example for the first, "A Midsummer's Night Dream" is a typical example of the second. and "Henry V." is typical of the third. Tragedy is the unsuccessful conflict of man with his sta.roundings or circumstances. It supposed to excite the emotions of pity and terror. In modern times it is the seriousness of the action which is the test for tragedy. Tragedy usually has an unhappy ending. but we are satisfied that justice hais been avenged and wrongs have been righted and right is triumphant. The essence of comedy lies in its happy ending. In romantic comedy, such as the "Tempest," the whole situation is ideal. The ending illustrates what has been termed poetic justice. happiness being asured to all who participate in the action. In general comedy it aims at the exposure of some human foible or weakness. In English comedy love

THE COLLAPSE OF CHRISTENDOM.
•'. .1. .1. - ‘-aggalEfiti= .1. Staged during the era of Shakespearean drama, this tragedy of historical fact portrays the student Hamlet at grips with grim realities cast orl by his own kith and kin like Lear, yet withal inspired with something of the ambition of a Macbeth. When Sanders propounded his thesis that "the state of Christendom depends upon-the stout assailing of England," he forgot that 'firmness of belief is not inconsistent with moderation in argument." His is a tragedy of character rather than of circumstance. Altogether a most fascinating study, hearing the very impress of truth. As the natural successor to "Isabella of Spain," it should have a wide appeal to the general reader in addition to the scholar. (Dr. Nicholas Sanders and the English Reformation. By Thomas Mc.

H.A.C.B. SOCIETY District Board. The Grand President, Bro. John Finnegan, presided over a full attendance of members at the meeting held on the 23rd. inst. The Grand Secretary submitted his reports of his visits to Geraldton and Wiluna. at which latter town a new branch was established. A large number of letters and telegrams containing sympathetic reference to the death of the late National President and Representative District Trustee. were received from branches and members. These manifest the affection and esteem held by the whole of the members for Bro. O'Mahony and the deep regret felt by the members on account of his untimely demise. It was lecided to endeavour to arrange for a special Requiem Mass to be offered for the repose of his soul and suggest to all branches that they should show their appreciation of the wonderful work performed by Bro. 0-Mahony by also having Holy Mass offered for the repose of his soul. The District Board visited Star of the Sea Branch on the 8th. inst., and were very hospitably entertained. The branch was honoured by the presence of the Rev. Fathers Kenny, 0.M.I., Ryan, There 0..M.I., and William, O.S.B. was ample evidence available that this branch is very much alive to the necessity of increasing its numerical strength and there is no doubt that it will have a very good report to make in this reThe Disgard at the end of the year trict Board visited St. Joachim's Branch on the 5th. inst.. and the members were delighted at the wonderful progress made by this branch during the last twelve months.

The Grand Secretary arrived at una on the 3th. inst., was was met at the railway station by the Rev. Father Hayes and Mr. Leo Fennessy. After a long consultation with Father Haves and Mr. Fennessy, the course of procedure was mapped out pursuant to which the Grand Secretary was to do as much organising as possible before the meeting of parishioners to be held on Thursday night. 16th. inst With the guidance of Father Hayes, Mr. W. Quinn and Mr. A. Groessler, he was enabled to come in contact with a large number of Catholic men and thus the organising work was made simple. A fter each Mass on the Sunday he Grand Secretary and other good Catholic men spoke to parishioners and urged them to attend the meeting and join the society, and in many cases the promises made were fulfilled. At the meeting of parishioners the branch, to be called St. Mary's. was establishsd with a splendid foundation of good solid Catholic men and Father Hayes and the Grand Secretary expressed themselves as being delighted with the splendid commencement made. After the new members had been initiated. the following officers were elected: Pre-
sident, Bro. F. V D'Arcy; vice-president, Bro. A. Groessler; secretary, !? ro T. Dinneen; treasurer, Bro. L. M. Fennessy; warden, Bro. W. Quinn; guardian. Bro. M. Dowman. These were installed by the Grand Secretary and congratulated on being elected as the first officers of St. Marys Branch It was stated that at the next meeting, to be held on 23rd. inst., several addi. tional members woul join. The prospects for a very successful bran are indeed excellent, and that this splendid Catholic organisation will be a wonderful help to Father Hayes there can be no doubt at all. The Grand Secretary would like to express publicly his sincere thanks to Father Hayes for the time and attention bestowed upon him during his visit and to the other members who were so good and valuable in the assistance that they gave The establishment of this bran.11 is certainly one of the best things that the District Board has done during the history of the Society in Western Australia.

Some three year,. had elapsed since a previous visit from him, but he has promised that this shall not occur again. The Badminton pennant season has commenced, and to date the Hibernian team ha achieved one win and suffered one defeat. There is some stiff opposition against us this Year. and we will do very well to get a place in the finals. Some of the new members recently enrolled are Badminton players, and keen ones, and should soon be a distinct acquisition to the team. The branch is pleased to extend a welcome to Bro.

Half-Yearly General Meeting. (Al Thursday last, the half-yearly general meeting of the Society was held in the presence of forty of our.members. A feature of the meeting was the comprehensive report of the secre tary, Bill Roche, who presented a report which covered the activities of the branch in every sphere during the A great deal of crelast six months. dit is due to him for his good work in this direction.
Our Weekly Entertainments, This year's Queen Carnival ‘vill not terminate till towards the end of the year. Our weekly socials are for that purpose. T,hey are growing in vol. lupe as the weeks go on; as so many tributaries to Join the brimming river of success later on. Last Tuesday night, from a weather point of view, was rather forbidding; the suceess of the night for that very reason was all the more pronounced and cheering. It was the Best Night so far. The Children of Mary, who were the organisers, left nothing to chance and thoroughly deserved their success. They also attended to the catering and did it well. The Weekly Euchre broke all records so far this season. The large gathering hadl a very pleasant night and a very keen evening's play. Mrs. Kirkwood and Mr. Steele, with ten games, tied for first place, and were paid £2 2s. Mr. Ridings won the prize of Is for the six selected games. Messrs. Kinsella, Somers, 0Connell and Mrs. Durkin tied for third prize. An appetising supper was for all the end of a perfect night. The Weekly Dance, which was very well attended, was being carried on with great gusto in the adjoining hall. while the card players were fighting out their battles, The dance, to the strains of sweet music dispensed by Mrs. Smith's Orchestra, w as, as is the way at St. Mary's Hall, a thing of beauty, to use a hackneyed e xpression, and a pleasure even to w atch. And now look out for Next Tuesday's Carnival. It will be something worth going miles and miles to take part in; something out of the ordinary: and right on to 12 o'clock. Don't miss this carnival for love of money. The ticket will not cost any more than usual-just 1/6 (no tax), and there will be special prizes. Trams 15 and 16 bring you to the door. And bring your elderly friends to the euchre, where euchre is played as it should be played. Mrs. Gill and her assistants. who are the organisers. and also are doing the catering, expect to break all records next Tuesday night. Bridge Night. On last Wednesday a very enjovabte bridge night, which was very largely attended, was held at the residence of Mr. Denis Keane, Osborne Park, in aid of the Children of Mary's Stall. Most of us are looking forward to a nother such night before long. Another Bridge Evening is announced to take place next Monday night, July 6. in aid of the North Perth Stall, at Mrs. Cripp's residence. Loftus-street, Leederville. Tennis. A tennis afternoon is scheduled to take place on Tuesday afternoon. July 7, in aid of Mrs. Gill's Stall, A House Party was held last Friday night at Mrs. Hales' residence, Burke-street.

Half-Yearly Elections. A considerable number of nominations for office were received by the returning officer, Henry Day, prior to our last meeting, when the elections were held. Only three positions, those of president, vice-president, and secre tary, were not contested, and the holders of those officers, Messrs. F. Townsend, T. Condon. and W. Ruche, were When it was returned unopposed. known that former members of the executive, in Messrs. W. Hughes, I. Caldow, J. Migru, R. Kelly and H. Day, were not standing for office, it was felt that the society had received a very heavy blow. The effects of this blow were however nullified to a great extent by the result of the electionsLen Townsend was elected treasurer, Joe Lowry assistant secretary, Tom Sykes librarian, and Jack Nicholson warden. The fight for a position on the committee was very keen, eight The ballot remembers nominating. sulted in Kevin Clarke, Ron Cant. Paddy Matison and Jack Day being elected. The new executive is an admirable blend of experience and enthusiasm, of age and youth, and it is confidently expected that it will prove one-of the strongest executives the soCongratulations ciety has ever had. and welcome to the newly-elected offi cers. A good measure of praise must he conceded to our last committee, which set a very high standard indeed, and looked after the welfare of the society so well. Football Bus Trip. On Sunday, June 29, we are holding a football bus trip to Sawyer's Valley, to which we are inviting our lady patrons. The bus will leave Parry-street at eleven o'clock sharp, and are members are asked to make this trip a success by bringing along as many of the ladies as they can. A charge of two shillings will be made and a rattling good time is assured to all who make this trip. Dance. Our Friday night dances are steadily improving and are real social successes, Our last dance was no exception and members are to be congratulated on the way they have raised the standard of the dance in the last month. We have been asked by a number of our lady patrons as to the date of our next carnival, and it is up to the new e xecutive to see that another of these popular evenings comes off in the near future. Our next dance will be held on Friday, July 3. Debating, On Monday last, our representatives. Frank and Len Townsend and Tom Sykes, met the Perth Young Labour League in the first debate in the W.A. Debate League. We were defeated hy the narrow margin of four points, but with a bit more confidence should open our winning account next Tuesday night, when we meet the E. and G. team on the subject 'That transport should be State controlled." We are also lodging a team in the Fremantle Debate League which has been recently formed. These debates will take place once a month. It is a hard matter for the selectors to pick the teams now with so much good material, but any member who wishes to take up this phase of our activities should not he discouraged if he is not picked to represent the society straight away. Practice makes perfect and it is very easy to make considerable headway at debating in a short time. Branch Photos.

Two of you, where are you, Veronica and Dorothy, will celebrate your first decade on the 28th., and as with Our Lady's Rosary your first decade has been a joyous one. You will hardly complete another decade of years without tasting sorrow, but if you keep close to the Mother of God she will teach you how to make the hard things of life as well as the joyous and I'm sure only the joyous will be given to both of you on this 28th Then comes the feast of St. Peter and Paul- when the books says Stasia will be Fourteen —a happy 14th.. my Kalgoorlie niece, and lots of sweet surprises to make it so!

The persuasions by which John incited them to penance leave no doubt as to the motive animating his thought. It is all summed up in those words :— "Do penance, for the Kingdom of flea ven is nigh unto you!" The Kingdom of Heaven, no longer the kingdom upon earth, of which Israel was in epectation.

These are the main lines of the extermination plan: M ISS PATRICIA FITZPATRI('K , daughter of .1. Fitzpatrick, o f Gabbin, and pupil of St. . Joseph's Cinvent, Kellerberrin.

New Turn of Politics IN BELGIUM (..ATHOLIC PARTY LOSES SEATS TO NEW ORGANISATION. A troublesome situation has arisen in 13elgium through the unexpected s uccesses of the new Rex Party, which. has won 21 seats at the general election held recently, largely at the expense of the official Catholic party, w hich has lost 16. This deprives the Catholic party of its position as the !arcst section in the Chamber, since it now has only 63 seats against the Socialist party's 70. Communist representation has also gained: the party now holds nine seats instead of three, while the Socialists have lost three. No party has a clear majority, as t here are also Liberal and "Frontist. parties of 23 and 21. The country has so far been governed by a coalition Cabinet under :\41, van
