Catholic people and all who "love justice and hate iniquity" - are urged in a statement issued by the Catholic Bishops of the United States to unite next Sunday in a day of prayer for persecuted peoples.

The text of the Bishops' statement follows: "Little more than a year has elapsed since the agonized cry of the Hungarian people broke through the silence that enveloped them and millions of others who are suffering the most frightful persecution in history.

Brute force speedily and ruthlessly stifled their heroic effort.

Yet in a larger sense they have triumphed. For in God's loving Providence they sounded a tocsin Turn to Page Twenty

Pope Pius Re-emphasizes Cooperation For Peace In his nineteenth Christmas message, delivered Sunday and relayed over the new Vatican radio transmitters to the greatest audience in history, the Holy Father laid the duty of preserving international peace upon "all rulers of men."

Italian, 15 in English, 11 in Without mentioning NA- Spanish, six in German, two in TO or Russia, the Pope said Portuguese and two in Latin.

The papal discourses included that the West should not be over-awed by Russian Sputniks nor should it reject "any approaches aiming at peace agreements."

He said that the divine law of harmony in the world imposes on nations and men the obligation "to prevent war by means of suitable international organizations, to reduce armaments under a system of effective inspection, and to deter whoever should aim at disturbing the peace with the fullest guaranteed mutual dependence between the nations which sincerely desire it."

This talk brought to a climax one of the busiest years in the Pope's Pontificate.

During the past year His Holiness Pope Pius XII has received 864,797 persons in audience, delivered 98 addresses and met with top officials of 10 countries.

These figures were just released by the Vatican Press Office. The Pope met 800,000 persons in general audiences, 64,000 in special audiences and 797 in private audiences.

A breakdown of the 97 speeches delivered by the Pontill includes 38 in French, 24 in

AID IN CHARITABLE WORK: These members of the Fall River Catholic Women's Club Community Service Department meet at the clubhouse Tuesday afternoons to sew pads for the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Cancer Home.

18 Years Service to Cancer Home Going into its 18th year of making surgical pads for the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Home is the Community Service Department of the Catholic Women's Club of Fall River. The pads, many of which are needed daily by the patients of the Home, were made only by the Community service gioup in 1942, when they undertook the project to assist the Dominican Sisters, Servants of Relief for Incurable Cancer. Now, however, many Catholic 'women's groups have taken up the work and as a result workers to make the pads are not needed so much as the materials with which they are made.

The pioneer pad-making group still meets, however, every Tuesday. afternoon at the headquarters of the Catholic Women's Club on Highland Avenue. Under the direction of Mrs. Emile Cousineau, whose experience includes supervision of the making of Red Cross surgical dressings during World War II, some 15 women participate in the weekly project.

The materials needed for padmaking are any sort of old white material and- a cellulose cotton

for filling. While a collection taken up once a year at a meeting of the Catholic Women's Club serves to defray expenses of the cellulose, and also enables the group to make a cash donation to the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Home, a great need exists for used cotton material, such as old sheets, and pillowcases. It is emphasized that used material is wanted, because new material is not soft enough for pad-making purposes. Any individuals or groups having such material are asked to leave it at either the Catholic Women's Club or the offices of The Anchor, both located at 410 Highland Avenue, Fall River.

WASHINGTON (NC) — His Excellency Archbishop Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate to the United States, headed a list of distinguished persons who witnessed a special showing here of a group of four films entitled "Rome Eternal."

The films, co-produced by the National Council of Catholic Men and the National Broadcasting Company, are designed to bring to American television audiences for the first time a filmed historical portrait of Rome and the Vatican, past and present. One of the half-hour films will be presented on each of The Catholic Hour television shows over NBC on the Sundays of January. The Catholic Hour is seen from 1:30 to 2 P.M. Archbishop Patrick A. O'Boyle of Washington, Auxiliary Bishop John M. McNamara of Washington, Auxiliary Bishop Philip M. Hannan of Washington, Auxiliary Bishop Coleman F. Carroll of Pittsburgh, and Bishopelect Howard J. Carroll of Altoona-Johnstown, Pa., also attended the special showing.

Others present included, Secretary of Labor and Mrs. James P. Mitchell, members of the diplomatic corps, members of the staff of the Apostolic* Delegation, members of the faculty of the Catholic University of America, members of the staff of the National Conference, and persons prominent in the civil life of Washington. _

54 Shrine Cures Supernatural LOURDES (NC)—During the 100 years of its existence, the Lourdes shrine has been the site of 54 cures which are recognized by the Church as supernatural.

This figure was released by officials of the shrine who point out that these 54 supernatural cures are only a small part of the more than 3,000 cures which have taken place at Lourdes.

The 3,000 cures are recognized as at least beyond explanation by strictly scientific and medical knowledge. But the Church alone is qualified to declare them as works of God, and she has done so 'in only 54 cases so far, shrine officials noted.

Twenty cardinals and several hundred bishops have already announced their intention of attending the centenary celebrations to be held here next year, it was reported.

His Eminence Pierre Cardinal Gerlier, Archbishop of Lyons, will preside at the opening of the celebration on Feb. 11, 1958, and His Eminence Maurice Cardinal Feltin will close the celebrations on Feb. 11, 1959. ' His Eminence Angelo Cardinal Roncalli, Patriarch of Venice, will dedicate the vast subterranean Church of St. Pius X on March 25, 1958. Cardinal Roncalli is a former Apostolic Nuncio 'o France.

Archbishop Cicognani spoke briefly at the conclusion of the film, thanking and congratulating the NCCM and NBC "in the name of the distinguished guests here present and in my own."

"What was proposed as a monumental project is now a glorious achievement," he said, "worthy of the inspired traditions of the National Council of Catholic Men and of the artistic and constructive style of the National Broadcasting Company."

"We are deeply grateful for this premiere of 'Rome Eternal' You have been most kind and generous in our regard. From now on, millions of people will not only enjoy this production but will also, we hope, have a better understanding and appreciation of what 'Rome Eternal' means."

Archbishop Cicognani pointed out briefly the unique history of Rome, mysterious in her origin, victorious over all the world of ancient times, mentioned several times in the Sacred Scriptures, able to give a universal language, Latin, and the principles of universal law to the world. He then called attention to the supreme inheritance she received. Peter, the Vicar of Christ, went there and fixed there• the center of his exalted task.

Only God Is Eternal

Only God is really eternal, the Apostolic Delegate said, and the Supreme Pontiff is the guardian of the inheritance of the Son of God — His doctrine, His sacraments, His Church. Here, he explained, we find the arguments and proofs of eternity.

The Holy Father, the Common Father of all, who is successor of St. Peter, the "Rock" of Christ's Church, the Apostolic Delegate continued, carries on and will ever carry on, in accordance with the promise of Our Divine Lord, the teaching of His eternal doctrine and the guidance of souls to eternal salvation. He stressed that our present Holy Father; Pope Pius XII, has given incessant testimony to this universal fatherhood by his most numerous audiences granted to people of all faiths, who go to Rome with this one purpose in mind, "to see Peter," to listen to him. In commenting on the unique flavor of the films, he expressed the hope that their message would be thoroughly and widely realized through their forthcoming national telecast.

Father Should Insist on Catholic College Education

By Rev. John L. Thomas, S. J. St. Louis University My'wife and I are having our first major quarrel.

Second, associated with this I'm a self-made man and don't know much about girls' lack of positive religious training

at a non-Catholic college is the danger of undermining what faith your daughter now has.

Granting that her religious beliefs may not be attacked directly, much of what she learns will be presented and interpreted in a different frame of refer. ence.

Myth and Emotion • When religious values arc rejected, other values based on different principles tend to replace them. Almost without per-. ceiving it, the student finds that human nature, man's purpose and destiny, are being studied and explained within a "scientific" framework which leaves no room for religion. Instead of offering an interpretation of life, religion is relegatei. to the unscientific realm of myth and. emotion.

Third, the atmosphere of a non = . Catholic college obviously can offer little support for a Catholic. The entire "climate of opinion" offers little encouragement for the practice of the'faith.

Young people in particular are highly sensitive-to this influence for .they desire to "belong" and to, be one of the group.

Jesuit Urges Catholics Develop Understanding of Other People CHAMPAIGN (NC) — The. habit of "viewing with alarm" has caused American Catholics to neglect their relations with their fellow Americans, according to a leading Jesuit educator.

Jesuit Father Walter J. Ong of St. Louis University contended that the mission of American Catholics does not lie in pointing out ,dangers. He was addressing a meeting of the Newman Foundation of the University of Illinois.

The communication of knowledge and attitudes is the key function of tha'.; mission, Father Ong declared. Even though Catholicshave good reason to object strenuously to some things. in American culture, "viewing withalarm" must be merely a sideline.

"The. advance in communications through the years has been an unmistakable good in bringing men closer together," he said.

"American Catholics owe it to their Church and their country to develop " understanding of other people. Up to now, we have not been too good at it. We are too prone to make our communication with others a oneway affair."

Public Relations Important Father Ong said that the art o: communications has spread beyond commercial activity to 'other fields. "Not only businesses, but many religious have their public relations men.

Everyone is public relations minded, because mankind is more in touch with itself thah ever before.

"Before the American Catholic can realize his place in the world, he must understand well this American expression of the growth of communications."

Father Ong warned agaist extreme nationalism in communications, "which makes 'so many of our dealings with other nations one-sided."

"This is our great weakness," he declared, "our inability to adapt ourselves to other people. We specialize in converting them to our way of thinking.

This attitude will seriously interfere with the mission of the United States and the American Church in the coming decades."

Staff Members of The Anchor Attend Workshop on Design NEW YORK (NC) — Nine Catholic newspapers sent a total of 30 representatives to the "Shirt Sleeve Workshop on Newspaper Design and Makeup" at Fordham University. Representatives from the secular press and educational institutions swelled the attendance to more than 60 persons.

Conducted by Edmund C. Arnold, of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company, author of "Functional Newspaper Design," the all-day session included discussions of page makeup, selection and use of headline and body types, photographs, and a critique of participating newspapers.

Newspapers represented were the Courier Journal, Rochester, N. Y.; the Tablet, Brooklyn; the Catholic News, New York; the Advocate, Newark, N. J.; the Catholic Light, Scranton, Pa.; the Catholic Transcript, Hartford, Conn.; the Pilot,. Boston; The Anchor, Fall River, and the Providence (R.I.) Visitor. Ad-

verse weather prevented other registered newspapers from being represented.

The workshop was opened by Father John A. St. George, S.J., chairman of the Department of Communication Arts at Fordham, and was closed by Msgr.

John F. Randall, president of the Catholic Press Association, who presided at the afternoon session. General chairman was Charles J. Felten of the Messenger of the Sacred Heart, author of "Layout by Felten."

A poll indicated interest in further workshops, especially in feature writing and interpretative reporting. Father St. George said that Fordham's Communication Arts department would be glad to sponsor them, in conjunction with the Catholic Press Association.

The sponsoring organizations for the makeup workshop were the C.P.A., the Communication Arts department, the Messenger of the Sacred Heart magazine and the Mergenthaler Linotype Company.

St. Bernard Dogs Now Retired MARTIGNY, (NC) — The world-famed dogs of St. Bernard's hospice here have become a relic of the past and again this winter will have an easy life compared with the experiences of their forebears.

The mountain pass of the Great St. Bernard in Switzerland is no longer as ,perilous as it was for the many generations of travelers ,,who crossed the Alps from here into Italy: Julius Caesar was among them, as well as the ..ariperors Constantine, Charlemagne and Napoleon and their armies. The Augustinian monks who are stationed on the pass could tell many a tale of the calamities that have occurred down through the years!

In Roman times, there was a pagan temple where the hospice now stands.

The monks live at the hospice and have rescued many travelers and wayfarers from the heavy snows. But this was in the old days, when the dogs played a great part in the rescue operations and one could say that many a life was owed to them.

Now, however, a regular motor coach route goes right past the hospice. Its services are discontinued during the height of the winter, when there are snow drifts up to 15 feet or more.

When the snows are so high, the monks must come down the

It is quite heartening to see the holyday spirit as well EveryBlessing in the 1 164 Year as the holiday spirit that surrounds this Christmas season.

Each year seems to bring more of an emphasis on the place of Christ in Christmas, a place that has been threatened, in other years, by red-nose reindeer and Santa Claus' too fat for the chimney.

Not that there is much serious objection to these latter.

But the feast of Christmas is still the feast of the Incarnate - Son of -God. It is still the divine anointing of our humanity by the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity taking a human Bishop of Fall River body and soul upon Himself..

The Christmas Crib is more in evidence this year than ever before. This is true in civic -and business.displays as well as in homes.

Limited Autonomy Principle Significant Step Forward

Authority of the Father The Magazine sectithi, "This Week;" found in- many of the Sunday newspapers, contained in a recent issue an cellent Article by Judge Samuel . S. Leibowitz. • For twenty= one years a criminal lawyer, for sixteen years a judge in a criminal court, Mr. Lebowitz has seen crime- ,and criminals •at close range, has had- a unique opportunity to see the various- elements that go to 'produce a criminal.

• Judge Lebowitz asked himself the cause for the terrible fact that teen-agers ar replacing adults on the dockets of the criminal courts.

- In an attempt to find the cause, he went to the Western country 'that had the lowest rate of juvenile delinquency.

This is Italy.

For weeks the Judge toured Italian cities ; asking questions of civil and police officials,, trying . to find some element to explain the difference between the low Italian.juvenile delinquency rate and the high American rate.• .

He found the answer in this: . respect for authority.

In Italy •children respect 'their parents; their -teachers, the laws of the country, the police and officials who 'enforce the laws.

Judge • Lebowitz came to a nine-word principle that, he believes, gives the answer to our problems: Put father back' at the head of the family.

The Judge says that this ideal comes from the ancient wisdom of the, Italians. It comes, we believe, from the Catholic principles of the Italians. And the Judge himself implies as much, for he speaks of the words of wisdom of Pope Pius XII: "God created man- and 'woman as persons equal in rank and dignity and no one can say that woman is -in •any way inferior to' man. But wives must submit themselves 'to their husbands as the church does to God. Women have a three-fold mission of truth, love and feminine action."

If, Judge Lebowitz says, the father is the acknowledged head—not dictator—of the family, then he is the symbol of authority and from this the child learns discipline. Let the mother break doWn the father's authority. instead of using and 'supplementing it,• and the child loses respect for all authority.

Archbishop Henry J. O'Brien . of-Hartford announced that pre- .. liminary plans submitted by Eg- • gers. and. Higgins, architects, of • New York City, show the new cathedral will be of contemporary design "with a flavor, of the , traditional form of architecture."

There will be no inflammable materials in the new cathedral except the pews and stalls. The interior will be entirely of such permanent materials as masonry, mosiac, glass, concrete and mar-• ble.

The seating layout will provide five aisles with uninterrupted •visibility from every seat in the nave. There will be room for 1,800 persons in the main church and an additional 1,600 in the lower church.

The facade of the new cathedral will be 130 feet high. A cross-topped tower will rise 275

Priests on Jet Inaugural Flight AMSTERDAM (NC) — Four American priests took part in the inaugural flight of a new jet-powered plane readied to help transport pilgrims through Europe during the 1958 Lourdes centennial year.

The airliner inaugurated here is a turbo-prop plane. Instead of employing conventional gasoline engines, it uses jet propulsion to run turbines which turn the propellors. This is said to make for swifter, less noisy transportation. The plane left here for Rome, where it was scheduled to be christened.

The clergymen on the trip are Fathers John E. Kelly, director of the Bureau of Information of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, Washington; John Dietzen, assistant editor of the Peoria (Ill.) Register; Joseph A. Cirrincione, pastor of St. Francis of Assisi parish, Rochester, N. Y., and Charles Borgognoni, assistant pastor of Our Lady of Pompei parish, Syracuse, N. Y.

Nun Marks wit14, Special Devotion Anniversary of '!A S aint's- Death

SEATTLE (NC)—A Sister • at Columbus Hospital here marked with special devotion the 40th anniversary of the death of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini—for the Saint's intercession was invoked by the nun during what is usually a fatal illness, and doctors testified her cure was Miraculous.

Thirty-two years ago, Mother Delfina of the local hospital staff lay critically ill after having undergone major surgery four times.

Her illness was termed fatal by • hospital physicians. But in midDecember, 1925, she experienced an apparition of Mother Cabrini.

Sister Delfina says she was•instructed in the- apparition to re- , ttirn,.to he r duties. By Dec. 22.,of that ; year, she was able to walk unassisted to chapel, and on' Christmas Eve, .she assisted 'it midnight Mass in St. JaMeS Cathedral here. .

• The two non-Cath •olic Seattle physicians who had attended Sister Delfina , were so convinced her recovery was miraculOus• that they traveled to Chicago in 1938 to testify, 'in behalf of Mother. Cabrini's beatification , cause.

Shortly after his birth in Cab-" rini Hospital, New York City, in 1921, Peter's eyes were burned 'through the mistake of a lay nurse, who bathed his eyes with a 50 per cent solution of nitrate of silver, instead of the usual one per cent solution.

The doctor who confirmed the tragic error avowed he could do nothing for the baby, that prayer was the only hope. Sisters and • nurses prayed fervently to St. Frances Xavier Cabrini and placed one of her relics upon the child.

The next morning the baby's eyes were completely, restored.

New Bed lord Catholic Theatre Guild To Present Life of Saint Germaine Have you ever heard of the Cinderella Saint?

Her name was Saint Germaine and her story has 'been beautifully told in an original radio script written by Miss Ellen Gaughan of the Catholic Theater Guild of New. Bedford.

Miss Gaughan, a Guild member, has written many fine dramatic scripts for radio presentation. Her latest, which will be broadcast at 7 P. Mc. Sunday, Jan. 5, over Station WNBH, titled "Celestial Cinderella."

With fine perceptive skill, Miss Gaughan has movingly outlined the Cinderella parallel in the `life of the unwanted, deformed •,child,`Germaine, and the abnormally abusive treatment whiCh 'she received froin her step•:mother.

Though Germaine's sufferings were far, far more painful than the earthly Cinderella, the re. and of the "Celestial Cinderella" also was beyond comparison. Germaine's Prince Charming was Christ, The Prince of Peace, who finally crowned her drab and pain-filled life on earth

ELLEN GAUGHAN with the royal glory of Sainthood in the Divine Palace of Heaven.

Miss Gaughan's script has been heartily approved by Monsignor Joseph A. Keener of the Saint Germaine Guild in Pitts-

Priest Tells Why Youths Like Rock 'n' Roll .

CHICAGO (NC) — Why .does rock 'n' roll entice the adolescent?

Because it gets the adult's goat.

That's the answer Father William Devlin, . S.J., a priest-; psychiatrist, gave here to' some 900 parents of students,attending the new Mother McAuley High School.

Father Devlin, who is associated with the Stritch School of Medicine at Loyola University, discussed "Understanding the Teenager."

He explained more fully the teenagers' addiction to rock 'n' roll.

"An underlying reason for teen-age leanings in the direction of rock 'n' roll," he stated, "is that the adolescent feels' an urgent need to be one of the crowd. What the parents say is old-fashioned. The teenager yearns to be like the rest of the

gang, and opposed to the injunction of Mom and Dad." Father Devlin urged the parent,s to instill confidence in their teen-age sons and daughteri. He said: "The child with a high IQ who thinks he is a moron will act like one;. whereas, one with an IQ of 90 may be progressing very well if he feels encouragement from the parent . . confidence of his parent's supporting him."

Asked if today's parents have let the adolescent down,"Father Devlin replied: "Children today are living in a confused world.

So many ideas are hurled at them, such as those from televisiOn and high-pressure advertising, that their reaction response to images becomes mature. In 1905, for instance, children received one toy for Christmas. Now they get many differ-

ent types. All of this contributes to the confusion they face in growing up."

Mrs. Dulles Visits Son in Germany COLOGNE (NC) — Mrs. John Foster Dulles, who accompanied her husband from Washington to Paris for the NATO conference, came here for a two-day visit to see her Jesuit son.

Jabilee Sermon In Small Book WORCESTER (NC) — A publisher of unusual books has produced another volume in the miniature series that has given him an'international "believe-itor-not" fame.

The book measures 2-by-3 inches and contains the silver jubilee sermon delivered by His Eminence Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, at ceremonies marking the anniversary of his consecration as a bishop.

But tiny as the book is, it is the largest ever published by .

Achille J. St. Onge, Worcester publisher. He has published 18 other books, Some as small as 1 1,- -by-2 1/4. -inches.

His Cardinal Spellman volume is saddle stitched and handbound in cardinal red polished calf leather. It contains 40 giltedged pages. The sermon, entitled "God's Priesthood," is set in spectrum type on linen paper.

Mr. St. Onge said the sermon was reprinted with. the 'permission of Cardinal Spellman. Its publication was planned to coincide with Cardinal Spellman's departure on his annual Christmas visit 'to U. S. militarymen 'in the Far East_ Like other books published by him, the "Silver Jubilee Sermon' book of Cardinal Spellman is expected to become a collector's item quickly. Other miniature books he issued included Winston Churchill's radio address on the death of King George VI, Emerson's essay on "Friendship," Van. Wyck Brooks' "From a Writer's Notebook" and Thoreau's "Wild Apples."

New Van Zeller Not His Best We. Sing While There's Voice Left, Dom Hubert van Zeller.

Sheed & Ward, New York: $2.59.

This, the fourth of Dom Hubert's "We" books, doesn't .seem to me to come up to the standard of the others (We Die Standing Up, We Live With Our Eyes Open We Work While the Light Lasts). The jacket blurb says it "discusses in concrete detail the life of the spirit as it has to be lived by the contemporary lay man and woman"; on the contrary'', it seems to be far more a general discussion of principles of the spiritual life than an attempt to apply those principles.

- It contains, however, a good many thought-provoking passages. One of' the'PROSt interesting deals with Dom Hubert's belief that the treasure of contemplation, largely lOst in the Western world, is preserved in the Orient.

"Again and again we have had evidence that' the most •potent argument to the Oriental mind is, sanctity. Contemplative and liturgical prayer are understood: the tranquil Eastern tempera, ment respects the withdrawn •life of worship, and is slightly suspi cious of proselytising activity."

To conclude: if you have read the other "We" books, you will want to read this, despite, its lesser worth; but if• you haven't read the others, go to them first.

Paperbacks Small But Mighty "I love to read, but books are so expensive."

How often have you heard that? Although books, in comparison with other items for which we manage to find money, have held the price line admirably, nevertheless it's often more than the budget can stand to spend four or five dollars on a new book, no matter how eagerly one may wish to possess it..

But the same argument doesn't apply to paperback editions. For years and years, lovers of lurid mysteries and passionate romances have been able to indulge themselves at 25 or 35 cents per reprinted book; but it's only recently that readers of, shall we say, more permanent literature have been catered to.

Now it's the happy fact that if you yearn for a book, but can't afford it, you need only wait a year or so and presto! in almost every case your book is available in paperback form. And if it's a good •book, it's worth the wait.

We are fortunate in the number and variety of pocket books dealing with matters of Catholic interest. The series that immediately leaps to mind is that if the Image Books, published by

Father ReinhOld Treats Liturgy One of the most dynamic figures in the American liturgical revival, Father H. A. Reinhold, treats his favorite subject in "The American Parish and the Roman Liturgy," due next month from Macmillan Publishers.

The popular understanding of worship is explained by .Father Reinhold as a development of the .

FATHER REINHOLD baroque mentality and the historical movement of pietism.

Through identification of the problems occasionec by these influences, he distinguishes subjective prayer from the liturgy, and defines the objectives of the current liturgical movement, a challenge to clergy and laity alike.

In dealing with the nature of liturgical symbolism and describing the role of the sacraments in Catholic life, the author presents a stirring picture of the • truly liturgical parish and of the liturgical man.

A native of Germany, Father Reinhold was expelled from his country by the Gestapo. Coming to the United States, he taught at Portsmouth Priory and did missionary and parish work in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York and Washington State, as well as lecturing at many universities.

" Herm i t of Cat Island' Fascinating The remakable story of a 20thcentury man whose diverse _talents enabled him to live many roles—architect, Anglican clergyman, sportsman, missionary, artist and critic — and whose search for spiritua_ fulfillment finally brought him to a remote Bahamian island and the life of a hermit is told in The Hermit of Cat Island by Peter F. Anson, published by P. J. Kenedy & Sons.

Reared in a traditional Victorian atmosphere, John C. Hawes grew up with a freedom of spirit and the artist's originality which was early reflected in his decision to abandon a promising architectural career for the ministry. Uncertainty about his suitability , for the Anglican persuasion led him 'to Catholicism and, after several adventurous

months in the Canadian Northwest, to Rome where he was ordained a priest.

Assigned as a missionary in the sprawling Australian bush country, Hawes labored for 24 years,. there gained a reputation as a church designer, dogbreeder and winner of racing's Geraldton Cup, and was made a Monsignor.

At the seemingly settled age of 63, Monsignor Hawes made a startling decision. He would abandon his now comforable life in Australia to hazard one of poverty and solitude as a hermit on a remote island in the Bahamas, where 30 years earlier, as an Anglican cleric, he had achieved fame as designer of Anglican churches.

Fra Jerome soon found his long cherished solitary ideal interrupted. The natives of the islands needed him and his architectural services were in constant demand. When, in 1950, a cover story on the Hermit appeared in Colliers', a rash of tourists descended upon him. He died in Miami Beach in July, 1956.

While pursuing this dual role as hermit and missionary architect, Fra Jerome found time to keep a diary, accounts of his perilous sea journeys from island to island, and a steady correspondence with friends in which he made frequent trenchant observations on such controversial topics as animal immortality and the state of contemporary liturgical art. Many direct quotes from these writings are embodied in the book, and it is illustrated with a selection of the Hermit's photographs, architectural sketches and amusing lam.. poons. of ••modern art. . • ..

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHURCH, NORTH kASTON: Michael and Patricia Kealey visit with the shephterds.

Blessing of Fishermen's Junks Highlights Hong Kong Christmas • HONG KONG (NC) — Highlight of Christmas ceremonies here is a unique and picturesque blessing - of homes by Bishop Lawrence Bianchi of Hong Kong.

The homes in this case are hundreds of gaily decorated fishing junks, each flying the papal flag, gathered in Aberdeen bay.

They belong to the famous fisherfolk of China, tnost of whom fled the China coast when the communists took over the mainland.

The ceremonies begin with midnight Mass attended by the fisher folk in the parish Church in Aberdeen on the outskirts of the city of Hong Kong. Following Mass a short entertainment consisting of a Christmas pageant and Christmas carols is presented by the pupils of the Canossian Sisters' School.

In the afternoon, Solemn Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament is held in the chapel of Our Lac .7 of Ch'na Seminary in Abezdecr. 'Alen the Bishop carrying the monstrance goes in processio: • with the seminarians to `,:he waters edge where he raises the Blessed Sacrament in blessing over the boats.

The ceremony held each Christmas began more than 20 years ago when a large number of families in this fishing community became converts to Catholicism.

The more than 50,000 fishermen and their families were born and will spend their entire

lives on their boats. They go ashore only to attend Church, school and to shop.

Every Catholic sailor on U. S. warships in the harbor here is able to attend Christmas Mass on his ship.

As in past years, Maryknoll Vather George Gilligan, of New York, Catholic chaplain of Servicemen's Guides Association in Hong Kong, arranged for a priest to offer Mass on every American warship in the harbor here Christmas Day..

In addition to providing facilities for Mass, Servicemen's Guides arranged for a -large number of American sailors to enjoy the hospitality of various families in Hong Kong on Christmas day.

In return for this hospitality, one of the warships scheduled a Christmas party for some 200' Chinese youngsters as part of their holiday celebrations.

Statue to Overlook Communist Zone FRIEDLAND, (NC) — A foot concrete statue of Christ will be erected coon on a hill overlooking the Communist vino of Germany.

Site c the statue will be near a large refugee transit camp here which has offered shelter to thousands of people since World War II. Cost of the project will be met by contribution from churches, the state and federal governments.

Who are they? They - 7e the hundreds of Cathedral impers enjoying their annual Christmas party.

Each year, right after Christas, Cathedral•Camp sponsors a )irty and reunion for the camp: :s and counselors of the pre-.. ous -summer. At that time •itingsters flock to the appointed • ot from all over southern New :viand. Whence their presence : the new Kennedy Youth Cen•::r today, hoping to see the ::iends and companions they last iw in August.

Movies of Camp The clamor of cheers that -:- light rock the building as you .'rater this afternoon would most robably not be intended for you ut rather in approval of the oys' favorite Western and car. ions being projected on the Teen at that particular moment. ..'he younger boys, the Braves id Warriors, might be observed •cchanging gunfire with the villin, while their older brothers, he Hunters and Chieftains, sit ack quietly, digesting, as it :ere, the hamburgers, chocolate )ilk and watermelon that would .ave preceded this film on a fednesday night cookout during he camp season. The ballet ancer who may have suddenly opea red on the screen was sim-° ly a Chieftain absent-mindedly .epping in front of the projector •;hile demonstrating to his semi-.orlon counselor just how he got way that hook shot in the last ,vo seconds of the basketball game last August with those "tall ionsters" from New Bedford, Lying the Cathedral Camp "In:fans" a thrilling 37-36 victory.

Not a murmur can be heard as :'ather McMahon, the Camp Di..:ctor, mounts the stage to offer :he boys a few words of advice .nd encouragement. Then comes -

Camp (hiring the past season, begins calling out the winners of the Best Camper awards, the most coveted of all the trophies.

There are four of these, one for each of the age groups. The winners of the Best Camper awards have been selected by a general discussion and vote of the entire counseling staff on the basis of the boy's conduct, cooperation, camp spirit, and in general, the degree to which he approached the ideal camper: The choice of the boys was most difficult because of the immense number of boys approximating this ideal.

In addition to the trophy he receives, each Best Camper will have his name permanently inscribed on a plaque at the Camp.

Trophies Awarded Also awarded today are the four Waterfront and Athletic Field trophies, and the Horsemanship • and • Archery trophy.

These ten awards are presented to boys on the basis of their conduct, skill and improvement in the various sports concerned.

Each of these boys, like the Best Campers, has worked diligently during his stay at Camp and is a well-deserved winner.

It is always considered a marvel in camping circles that no adult, unfortunate enough to be standing between two hundred hungry boys and the dining hall, has been trampled to death when the bugle blows for "chow." Any parent who thinks his child has a ravenous appetite at home, or no appetite, would be startled by the onslaught of young bodies that this one bugle call can produce. While the boys are not quite so violent in their approach at the Christmas party, they evidence every bit as much enthusiasm for the refreshments served. The young Braves you may see crying, thinks he has lost his "canteen check," a little black piece of plastic passed out at the end of the afternoon rest period at Camp, and in turn passed over the counter by the camper for his daily allotment of ice cream, candy or soda. A friendly Chieftain will remind his that . at the Christmas party the items are given without a "check."

They will be a little sad that their favorite horse, Bugaboo or Cree Billy, was not at the party for them to ride, or that they couldn't go for a quick dip in the lake as they would each afternoon during the General Swim. They will be overjoyed, however, that they once more met their summer companions and counselors, and together re-experienced the glorious camp season they had spent together. Their parting remarks, "What weeks are you going next summer?" and specially, the ever more frequent reply: "I'm . goin' for the whole season! How 'bout you?" remind Father McMahon and the seminarian counselors that they have an even busier summer ahead of them in 1958. As these dedicated men begin prepatations for that season tonight, their work will be lightened with the realization that, with God's help, because of their efforts happier, healthier and holier young men will enter manhood.

Cardinal Promises Continuation Of Priest-Worker Apostolate PARIS (NC) — The Church's decision to interrupt the priestworker movement is no indication that the Church has abandoned the worker, His Eminence Maurice Cardinal Feltin, Archbishop of Paris, declared here.

The Cardinal speke at the installation of Father Jacques Hollande, former head of the Mission of Paris — the jurisdiction of the so-called priest-workersas pastor of the Parisian parish of Holy Trinity.

The installation ceremonies drew a crowd that overflowed the large parish church. Among dignitaries of Church and State preserit was France's new Minister of Justice, Robert Lecourt, who is a parishioner of Holy Trinity.

Paying tribute to Father Hollande's 14 years as the superior of the Mission of Paris, Cardinal Feltin recalled that Cardinal Suhard, his predecessor as Archbishop of Paris, had chosen Father Hollande to head the mission when the priest-worker movement was still in its initial stages of development.

The Cardinal went on to say: "Cardinal Suhard wanted some ardent and generous priests to devote themselves to the evangelization of the world of labor and to bring into it a knowledge of Christ and- His Church in a special way outside of the usual parochial. set-up."

Began in 1944 The so-called "priest-worker" movement in 1944 when ng Parisian priests a group of young you under Father Henri Godin founded the Mission of Paris with the permission of Cardinal Suhard. Concerned about the large numbers of French workers who had become ignorant of the teachings of the Church and had given up the practice of Christianity under the influence of communism, the - priests of the movement wore lay garb; took jobs in factories and lived in homes and apartment houses in workers' districts.

Some entered the factories with the permission of the management to work among the employes on the job. Their purpose was to infiltrate and form cells of Christianity among workers and laborers.

But there were protests and critisisnis• from all sides. Some laymen felt that priests living among the workers gave scandal.

Others asserted that some priestworkers had become radical and had actually embraced communism.

Referring to this situation, Cardinal Feltin continued: Difficulties Increase "Of course, this work ran into difficulties. There was misunderstanding in many quarters, even among the faithful. There as the need to modify and adapt methods which had no other objective than the proclamation of Christ and His Gospel to the poor. Difficulties increased when the Church thought it wise to reorient the movement, to correct certain methods, then in use and finally to call a halt to certain aspects of this activity.

"Even this final gesture of the Church was badly interpreted. Some claimed that the Church will never cease to But this is a profound error!

The Church will never cease to seek out the perfect way to place the priest among the workers.

New Formula Planned "The mission to the worker is formed by three related forces. the parish clergy, the laity organized by Catholic Action for the apostolate of labor, and certain priests detached from par.

Catholic Events December, 1957

ishes for the purpose of getting priests into the working world according to a formula which the hierarchy is working to perfect."

Cardinal Feltin then announced that Father Hollande's work as consultant to priests who are active in the apostolate of labor is not ended. His in, stallation as a pastor will not prevent him from being available to give counsel and share experience with those who need him, the Cardinal said.

Theological Virtues Basis For Genuine Good Will

By Most Rev. Robert - J: Dwyer, D.D. Bishop of .Reno

The angels' song rang out with a sudden ecstacy: Glory to God in the:highest ; and on earth peaces to men of .

• good will!

Rubbing the wonder out of their eyes the shepherds set out across the hills to its ideals and had fore-sworn all find the promised Sign, the its loyalties.

Infant wrapped in swaddling A ' prophet more clairvoyant clothes, lying in a manger. than he may have realized himOf all Jewry they alone had been found worthy to see the vision and to hear the song. They alone were men of good will. * * *

Back in the '30s the eminent French novelist, Jules Romains, published a many-volumed study of our times; calling it (was it with conscious blasphemy?) Men of Good Will. Like most contemporary novels it had no heroes and no villians, for among the multitudes who peopled its pages there were no saints and most of the sinners were amiable.

They were the pagans of a postChristian society, these Jerphanions and Guyaus. and Clanricards, and the gloom of their despair was illumined by no ray of hope, natural or supernatural.

Cream of Culture They believed in no God, having scientifically disposed of the illusion, and they expected no Messias. Poets, artists, financiers, statesmen (with even a few worldly priests thrown in for no good. measure), they were the cream of modern culture, the end-product of a civilization which had outgrown its idols and

self at the time, Romains painted a devastating picture of France • during' the • first third of this century, a vast cyclorama of European culture ' confronted with its own intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy, and faced with the bitter choice between CommunisM and suicide. After Romains, Sartre was inevitable.

Yet, Romains insisted, all these were men of good will.

What Meaning- did he attach to the phrase, sanctified by its long Christian tradition? ActUally, John Henry Newman, writing his educational essays back in the 1850s, when he was struggling with the problems of heartbreaks of organizing a Catholic University in Ireland, had ticipated the definition with startling provision.

Modern Good Will The modern man of good will L--Newman called him the gentleman — was one who never willingly caused pain to his fellowman. He was always_kindly, courteous, generous; he would always observe the rules of the • game and salute his enemy when he had vanquished him. He,

—THE ANCHOR I Thurs., Dec. 26, 1957

was cultivated, - temperate in speech, and entirely devoted to the best interests (as he saw them) of the rest of mankind, especially when they ran parallel with his own.. He was moral, or, more precisely, he approved of morality as the best device .for dealing with the complexities and difficulties of social life, and particularly useful for the lower classes.

But he was a man totally devoid of faith, who cherished no foolish dreams of salvation, a man who neither loved God, nor his neighbor, nor himself. He was the complete modern pagan, the man of good will.

What Newman foresaw so clearly in the 1850s and Romains described in the 1930s, has caught up with us in full -force in this mid-century passage. The Free World is governed and guided by just such men of good will.

With all commendable earnestness they are striving to prevent disaster and to forestall catastrophe. They want nothing so much as a return to international sanity, the resumption of trade and good fellowship, cultural interchange, the -extension of the blessings • of liberty and equality to subject peoples and the ending of outworn colonialism. They aspire to peace in our times based on enlightened self-interest; they plead for the' conversion Of nuclear power to the uses of industry for the promotion of wealth and the raising of universal living standards.

With 'even a minimum of cooperation from Russia and her satellites, they tell us, they are

confident that an era of idyllic harmony' and unimaginable progress can be Ushered in.

Shadow of Reality But these men have no faith.

For them God is a cypher and the natural law a figment. They have no real hope, for they see nothing to justify mortality nor to question the finality of death.

Charity, not as a generous sentiment but as the love of God • transmuting life and adding the dimension of eternal happiness, is for them no more than a Churchillian enigma wrapped in a mystery. It is simply too good to be true.

These are the men of good will Who rule our world. They have annexed the phrase without for a moment probing its validity for them. They would be vaguely distressed and pained if they were told, bluntly, that they have no right to it, or that their good will is no more than the ' shadow of reality. They are in fact as far removed from genuine , good will as were those JeWs .of old for Whom the first Christmas was only another day breaking over the hills, with no glimmer of a vision and no echo of a song.

For that matter, what of ourselves .? How do we fit into the tableau of the shepherds kneeling in the straw before the manger? No saints they, no more ourselves. Their good will was that they believed, humbly and sincerely; -that they hoped as men who trusted implicitly in the word of God, and that they loved because God had first loVed them. The measure of their good will is exactly the same as ours.

'Swede' Nelson National Award to Tommy Salvo IIP

.

By Jack Kineavy •Somerset High School Coach Quick -thinking born of training and an innate sense of fair play earned for Fall River's. Tommy Salvo, Boston University's yearling center, the coveted Nils V. "Swede" Nelson Award for Sportsmanship given annually by the Gridiron club of Boston. The announcement of Salvo's selection was made last Wednesday night and the presentation will take place on Janu.

ary 11 at a dinner at the Sheraton Plaza, Boston.

Tom is the first freshman to be honored in the 12-year history of the award and the second Boston University player to be singled out for distinction. Everett Dorr, Terrier place-kicking specialist and Marine Corps hero, was the 1947 recipient. Other distinguished aware winners include Doak Walker, Southern Methodist, 1949; Bob Williams, Notre Dame, 1951, and Jim Swink, • Texas Christian, 1956. Only one other lineman, Joe Mitinger, 1952 Yale captain and tackle, has won the award.

The award, named in honor of "Swede" Nelson, former Harvard football player ano. raconteur incomparable, is given annually "to the player who by his conduct on the gridiron, demon.; strates a high esteem • for the football code and exemplifies sportsmanship to an outstanding degree." The incident which reFulled in Salvo's nomination occurred at Storrs, Conn., Nov. 8, in a game between the Terrier Pups and the U. Conn. Frosh.

It was the third period. B.U., down 14-7, was in possession and driving for its second score. The play was an off-tackle smash aimed inside Connecticut's left end, Charley Delbon. After carrying out his blocking assignment on the defensive linebacker, Tom looked up to see Delborn writhing in pain some five yards away, his right leg bent grotesquely.

Aids Opponent Tom rushed to the aid of the stricken player, knelt beside him shielding him from further contact and holding his shoulders so that he wouldn't move. "I realized he had a compound fracture," said Tom recalling the situation, "and I yelled to a couple of Connecticut players to call time and get the team doctor on the field."

The significance of Salvo's act might have escaped public attention had it not been for Bob Ingalls, Connacticut varsity coach, who was present at the game. "It was one of the finest examples of sportsmanship and quick thinking I have ever seen," Ingalls related at a football luncheon a week later, adding that "because of Salvo, Charley Delbon will be able to play football again." • Is Marine 'Reserve Tom credits his training in first aid for his'. quick analysis of the injury. He's a member of the Marine Reserve and last summer had an intensive course in first aid at the Newport Naval Base. Emphasis was placed on the employment of primary measures for certain type casualties, among them fractures. This knowledge couplet... with Tom's ability to react instinctively and with good judgment saved Charley Delbon from possibla further injury. Salvo's action prompted "Swede" Nelson to remark, "Even if Tommy never makes another team or never plays another game of football, • he has already gone a lot further than some All-America players have."

As a Durfee undergraduate Tom was a member of the St John Berchman's Club. He was first president of the newly established Catholic Student Council and under Tom's leadership and the guidance of Father Stanton, the• organization flourished in its first year- of activity.

BISHOP CONNOLLY'

• Tom is • the 18-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony NT.• Salvo of Fall River. -He, has -one brother, Jim; , a junior majoring' in Business Administration at Boston College.' Tom was grade-: ated from Durfee High where he was outstanding in football and track. His versatility on the gridiroin won him All-Bristol recognition both as a lineman and a back.

A hand fracture suffered in practice the week before the opening of the 1957 season caused Tom to miss the first three games. It was anticipated that he'd be out at least six weeks, but the boy worked out with the team each day and with characteristic determination came back in less than half that time.

Coach Luke Urban, looking for a Mr. Inside to complement speedsters Gordie Andrews and Ron Bridge, moved Tom to the fullback slot where he shone as a power runner. At B.U. the 5'11", 190-pounder was moved back to the pivot post.

A member of The. Immaculate Conception Parish, he was catcher on the 1957 CYO Parish Baseball Team that won the Diocesan championship.

tion major at B.U., Tom has definitely decided• upon a career 'in teaching. However, he may change his field of concentration to biology, if it proves feasible, for this is his preferred subject.

And so to this 'modest, unassuming young man, in the presence of his proud parents, close relatives, his high school coach—all of whom have played major roles in his development — will go the nation's most highly prized Award for Sportsmanship. He is a credit to his Church, his wonderful parents, his school, his community. We are justifiably proud of you, Tom Salvo, and we join with the hundreds who will witness the award presentation in extending our best wishes for the future.

THE ANCHORThurs., Dec. 26, 1957

Sermon Schedule Continued from Page One called upon. to be apostles under the guidance of the BiShop. No man can 'be an apostle unless he knows the mind of the Church as expressed in the Pronouncements of the Holy Father.

For the Pope, in his ency :clitals and addresses, gives the Church's doctrines and the , application of these to modern problems. He points out the role that Catholics must play in a Modern world.

While the Church's doctrines do not change, the economic and political and social structure of the work. does. Man's•role in life becomes more complicated. New techniques are invented, new frontiers are advanced in medicine and science, new problems with moral implications arise.

The very world becomes more complex, and Catholics look to the Holy Father to instruct, through his speeches 'and addresses, to tell how to apply Catholic principles to new problems.

Bishops Are Guides The apostle in the modern world must be guided by those who have the commission to teach the Gospel to all men; the Bishops of the Church. A person with much zeal 'and no knowledge of the Gospel can do grave harm- in the Name of Christ and His Church. To be an apostle one must be 'guided by the Bishops of the Church and especially by the chief Bishop, the Holy Father. • .

Then zeal will be • matched with knowledge, and the apostolate Which aims at making all men one in• Christ • will .be carried on' not-as a private project but as the Will • of Christ being worked out. in and by His Members, by those •who haVe been baptized into His Body, the Church.

Topics that will be preached on will' include The Church, Guardian of the Faith; The Teaching . Value of the Pope's encyclicals; Pius XI and Catholic Action; The Special Role of Women; The Lay Apostolate andthe Family; The Parish School and the Christian • Life of Children.

Pope's 'protiouncements Of particular interest will be The .Lay Apostolate• and Economic Life, Political Life, and , ' Social Life. Many • persons out:side the Church- realize more than •Catholics the remarkable' pronouncements made by Leo, XII, Pius XI and the' present ' Holy Father along these lines.

Leo XIII, before the turn of the century. spoke of labor unions and yellow-dog contracts and strikes and various other elements of economic life; The vision of the Pope's in these matters and their willingness to speak on them is not always .un. derstono and appreciated by Catholics.

The new Sermon Course will begin on Jan. 5, the Feast of the Holy Name.

It is unthinkable that we should in our day neglect to petition the Infinite Creator and Ruler of the Universe in behalf of these modern martyrs.

Let us all beg God, our Common Father, to stretch forth His Mighty Arm, to restrain those who have so long crushed His children, to strengthen and console the heroic souls who have endured so much and to lead them speedily to the enjoyment of the freedom of the Sons of God."

- VATICAN CITY (NC) — Christians can avail themselves of luxuries in keeping with their state of life and still be real 'imitators of "the humble. and poor • Chriit," His Holiness Pope Pius XII declared here.

While high social position may mean living in the midst of material wealth and even luxury, he said, a layman can nevertheless consecrate .hiritself entirely to God and offer -Him the total oblation Of himself. .

"The • Pope's indication that .wealth need be no hindrance to living in a . . spirit of poverty was Made in the course of an address he "gave to leaders. of •religious orders in 31 countries gathered in Rome for the Second General Congress of the StateS of Perfection in the Modern. World.

The thesis of the Pope's 1,000;word address- was that although the' 'essentials of Christian perfection — love of God primarily, and secondarily love of neighbor — are. unchangeable, there is no reason why laymen and ReligiouS cannot adopt the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience to modern living.

-"It 'is clear that Christian perfection, in the essential elements of its definition and of its realization, does not' allow for any revision or adaptation," Pope Pius said. "But,. since conditions of modern life undergo Major changes, modifications will be reqUired in applying it. These, modifications wilt affect. thole who . live in' the states of 'per= • feetion and those who do not, • take part.in them, but Oven more so the latter; especially 'if they hold a high social rink and er functions." ' It - was' here the Pope said it "is •net -.anatnalous•'for ' the rich to lead liVes of total consecratint 'to God. .

The Pontiff then dealt with prOblema • involved in -adapting the counsels of poverty; Chastity • and - obedience, 'noting -that' religious superiori and those sub= ect to them are called on to ; consecrate • themselves . to the service of Christ as active and chosen members of His Mystical • ,

He Continued: "But, once this 'essential obligatiOn . bai been'viell established,' they (Reliiions) are not forbidden to think about revision and adaptation . of the "means "'Of, achieving it; without • however; failing .to sh6w due respect for tradition and Without detracting • *Om the pre-scriptionl that are considered inviolable by (thei•) Constitutions. • .• • Must . Observe Discipline ' • "Subordinate's will further more obserVe religious discipline,' F

,

which forbids them to arrogate to themselves those tasks that fall within the competence of superiors, or to undertake on their own initiative reforms that they cannot attempt . without their superiors' authorization!'

Here the Pope gave special consideration to obedience ' in the religious life, which he called an essential on which the re-. newal of the spirit proper to the community depends. He said' that a tendency toward modification in this field has created certain tensions -- "not through a lack of sincere desire to aim at perfection by means of obedience, but because there is particular emphasis today upon certain aspects of obedience that even serious and , conscientious Religious would like to see dis-: appear."

He mentioned specifically the assertion made in some quarters that some ways of applying obedience tend to endanger the human dignity of the Religious, that it creates an obstacle to the full developMent of his' personality, and might even alter his orientation ,towards God alone.

'At this point the Pope underlined the value of true submission and Christian humility. He said both should be free acts involving the individual's aban.donment of self into the hands '' of •God, "whose Will is expressed -) in the visible authority of those whose mission it is to Command."

Kof C Aids Continued from Page One .

During the past few years. there has been much work done for exceptional children in this Diocese. First Comthunion• classes have been set, up fin.• them. 'And Nazareth Hall opened : its doors in September as a school; conducted by specially . trained Sisters of Mercy, 'for these youngsters.
