Queen Elizabeth II of Eng land has departed our 'shores, and the football season

And, what the United States does regarding its future relations with Tito could be the most important de velopment of the entire affair.

It is asked by those who may wish to join the Society; or by those who are in need of help of one kind or another; or by an every day Catholic ever-anxious to know more about the workings of the Church. Actually it is little known because its members do their God-given work in a humble and unassuming manner; and they do this not only to protect the privacy of those whom they help, but also because they real ize that the spiritual benefits from their work are more plen tiful when their great charity is unknown to ~e rest of mea.
