~First Anchor Subscription Report Strong

A new record high for weekly home-delivered ANCHORS is in prospect today, notwithstanding the fact that.the majority of first parish reports are not expected until next week. However, the eonfidence evidenced by the pastors throughout the Diocese in conversations' with the Circula­ tion department has established the assurance that this year's final results will exceed all other years. For the sixth year, Rt. Rev. Louis E. Prevost, pastor of St.. Joseph's Church, New Bedford, has called before the Subscription Drive was 72 hours old and reported that this North End Parish of New Bedford has reached its quota.

Rev: John G. Carroll of St. John the Baptist Parish, Central Village, informed The ANCHOR office that the subscriptions this year will sur­ pass the 1962 quota-breaking number of readers in his parish. The parishoners of St. Dominic's; Swansea, have responded so well to the first appeal made Sunday, that Rev. William R. Jordan,pastor, has announced that once more that parish has made The ANCHOR Quota Honor Roll. St. Joseph's Parish, Fall River, is another repeater in the quota-making class. Rev. George E. Sullivan has said that "he would not be satis­ fied until every parishoner is reading The

ANCHOR every Thursday." Already over his established quota, the pastor of the Immaculate Conception parish, North Ea8ton, is aiming at complete parish­ coverage during this year's drive. Rev. John J. Casey, pastor, remarked that "the complete ac­ tivity and development of the Diocese is only known through the weekly reading of The ANCHOR." The reports that have come in are numerous and statements of success have been made by . parish leaders from all sections of the Diocese. As each day passes, the new record of paid sub­ scriptions is evident.·

Food for ,Body and Soul During Lent

Daily Menus for Lenten Season

Make the Bible. Your Daily Diet

During the holy season of Lent, The Anchor will present' day by day menus planned with all fasting restrictions in mind. This year, menus and recipes will be prepared by Miss Nancy Carroll, home economics teacher at B.M.C. Durfee High School, Fall River, and member of Holy )lame parish in Fall River. Menus will be presented a week in advance to allow homemakers time for shopping and planning. Recipes are given for starred items, directly below each day's menu.

Lent is almost here and for most of us' it is a time, even more than New Year's, for good resolutions. Some of them fall by the wayside, but there is one that shouldn't-and that's the accomplishment of a reason­ able amount of spiritual reading. The reason is simple. Quite legitimate reasons may interfere with getting to daily Mass every morning of the holy season, we may not be able to get to evening devotions-but surely in every day there is a slice of time that can be devoted to reading. Maybe we are limiting TV viewing for Lent, maybe we are cutting down
