THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA
ELEVEN
Convention Notes
(Continued from Page 2)
prived of tehe opportunity of hearing
any part of hie program.
ALBANY came to the convention
loaded with reasons why the next
convention should go to Dougherty
County; Father Thomas A. Brennan
presented the invitation. Valdosta,
Father James King, pastor, also ss
putting in a strong argument for the
1938 gathering.
ATLANTA carried off honors for
attendance, about one hundred mak
ing the one-hundred-mile trip each
way for the meeting. Bishop O'Hara
came down from Atlanta the night
before, taking Mr. Bidder from the
Capital City to the convention. Mr.
Bidder flew to and from Atlanta;
- leaving Columbus Sunday evening,
he went bade to Atlanta with Bishop
O’Hara, got a plane there about mid
night, and was back in New York
before most NewYorkers were awake
and before a number of the delegates
had left Columbus.
TWO SPEAKERS at the 1936 con
vention in Augusta have been claimed
by death diming the year, the lovable
' Father Michael Earls, S. J., vice-
president of Holy Cross College, famed
author, poet arid lecturer, who was
stricken in New York on his way to
Cleveland, dying shortly aferward;
and Thomas J. Hamilton, the distin
guished editor of The Auguste Chron
icle, who died without warning a
Jew months ago in Auguste at his
home a short time after finishing a
radio address. Those who heard their
splendid contributions to the 19® pro
gram in Augusta little suspected that
the shadow of death was already on
them and they apparently both in
good health, would thus suddenly be
snatched into eernity.
ST. CHRISTOPHER should be
adopted as at least one o- the patron
saints of the Catholic Laymen’s As
sociation; although the delegates and
visitors traveled tens of thousands
of miles by automobiles to and from
the convention, we heard of no
trouble, not even with traffic of
ficers. And incidentally, when the
convention last met in Columbus, in
1929, John M- Harrison and his fam
ily left Columbus by machine about
the time Sunday evening Mr. Bidder
left this year, and arrived in Atlanta
about the time Mr. Bidder arrived in
New York. Mr. Bidder went through
the air; Mr. Harrison through the
mud. But now Atlanta and Colum
bus are linked by a ribbon of con
crete.
FATHER. PETER M DONNHUL. S.
J„ and President Martin J. Callaghan
led the Macon delegation, which was
the second largest; the distance was
likewise about one hundred miles.
The Augusta delegation had travelled
one hundred and thirty miles when
it reached Macon to go another hun
dred miles- But the honors for dis
tance go to Mrs. J. C. McMichael, Mr.
Haverty’s daughter, who is from Gar
den City, N. Y. J. B. Gordon reg
istered from New Orleans.
ATHENS was represented by Dr.

REV. J. J. SALWAY of the Vincen
tian Fathers in Alabama honored the
convention by atending it, but his con
nection with Columbus is so close that
he can hardly be considered a visitor.
Father J. Joseph Molloy of Holy Fam
ily Church renewed his friendship
with the South Georgians and Savan-
nahians who were present; they are nis
former fields of labor.
AUGUSTANS present traveled about
250 miles each way. President Battey
led the delegation. E. J. O'Connor rep
resented Sacred Heart parish, Mrs.
Shealy St. Patrick’s and Mr. and Mrs;
Richard Reid St. Mary’s. Mrs. P. H-
Rice, detained at the last minute, sent
a telegram of greeting and regret. An
other regular attendant at the con
vention who had to send his regrets
was R. W. Hatcher of Milledgeville,
chairman of the retreat section.
ALBANY was represented by Fath
er Brennan, Mary L. Duffy, Miss Ja
nie McCartney, H. F. Wiggins. J. W.
Mock, Mrs. Eugene Mock, Miss Mar
garet Mock. Miss Madeleine Rakel,
Miss Betty Mock. Ray S. Mock. Miss
Mary L. Brosnan, Mrs. J. L. Baccal,
Mrs. Y. G. Hilsman and Mrs, Darien
Tompkins.
FOR THE COLUMBUS delegation,
see the parish list ol Holy Family
Church, and even that would not be
adequate, for many who were not
Catholics attended the sessions. j
THE CONVENTION is not an end,
but a means, a basis for further activ
ity. Whether the next convention _is a
success does not depend on the coni
vention day or week merely, but on
the year. The Association has already
started on its year’s work, a major ob
jective is the extending of membership
among Catholics so that the Associa
tion may extend the influence of its ef
forts "to bring about a friendlier feel
ing among Georgians irrespective of
creed.”
