ATHENS, Ga.—Newman Clubs of
the Southeastern Province met at the
University of Georgia here on Novem-
12,13 and 14 as guests of the local New
man Club.
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of
the program was the banquet at the
Georgian Hotel Saturday evening at
which, fallowing a word of welcome,
from the Hon. T. S. Mell, Mayor of
Athens, His Excellency Bishop O'Hara
made a very interesting and instruc
tive talk. Bishop O’Hara was followed
on the program by Richard Reid, ex
ecutive secretary of the Catholic Lay
men’s Association of Georgia. The
Rev. Harold J. Barr was toastmaster.
Bishop O'Hara outlined for the stu
dents attending the convention the
part taken by the Catholic Church in
fostering education, citing as examples
the origin of such sqnoois as Oxford
and Cambridge and University of
Mexico City, which was founded 100
years before Harvard.
In religious schools the study of
church history and religion form an in
tegral part of the course of study,
while in non-sectarian schools no such
formal training is given. Bishop O’Hara
stated that here in the South, where
Catholic schools are few, the Newman
Clubs can perform a very useful func
tion in fostering the principles of the
Church. According to Bishop O’Hara,
these clubs may be of a very real val
ue in protecting us from seditious
teachings, and communism which are
even now making their bid for the
^youth of tiuo country and which ^are
fatal to se al m their doctrine. His Ex
cellency stated that the Church has
designs on its youth to protect it from
the doctrines of Stalin and Marx.
Mr. Reid brought out the idea that
all men are equal in the sight oi God
and that we should adopt a zeal from
our religion which will drive us on to
progress in spite of all opposition.
However, said Mr. Reid, a knowledge
of the Church is necessary before we
can hope to have the zeal for her work.
We should have pride in our Churcn
and work towards protecting it from
forces of communism and atheism.
After Mr. Reid’s talk the clubs rep
resented a geld honor key to
Ziebarth in recognition of his faithful
service in brlialf of the Newman Clubs
in this province.
Registration was held at the Parish
House on Friday evening after wtuen
a class of 21 were initiated from among
the University of Georg 1 a shiaen„s.
The Georgia Tech Newman Club con
ducted the initiation. .

CINCINNATI. — Victory for the
Communists in Spain would consti-
tute a peril not only to all of Eu
rope but also to the United States,
the Rev. Dr. Frederick W. Beekman,
Episcopalian dean of the pro-Cathe
dral of Paris, declared in an address
delivered here. Attending a general
convention of the Episcopal Church,
E-. Beekman blamed the spread of
Communism in Spain upon Bela
Kurt, former Communist dictator of
Hungary.
Bela Kun, he said, went to Spain
well provided with money and was
able to supply arms and agents to
spread atheistic propaganda. Had he
been forbidden en y. he said, it is
probable Communist domination and
the accompanying terroism would
never have spread over the country.
Discussing the civil war in Spain,
Dr. Beekman gave it as his opinion
that England wishes to see a stale
mate in that country. “She hopes
he said, “that both sides will exhaust
themselves and there will arrive a
time when the contesting factions can
be brought to adjust their differ
ences. There is no fear of the tri
umph of either Communism or Fas-
cism in England, or the British Em
pire, because of the great respect the
British people have for their consti
tutional rights and privileges and the
democracy of the nation.”
Referring to two great differences
existin': between Communism ana
Fascism, he said: “There are. two
things which Fascism respects and
which Communism will not tolerate
Fascist leaders insist upon religious
teaching and upon some sort of re
spect for property rights. Commun
ists insist upon centralized control
of all property and the spread of
atheism among all classes. It seems
to me that the real battle of the na
tions is the throttling of Commun
ism. With that out of the way, Fas
cism will fade out of the picture
gradually, because the only real ex
cuse for Fascism is its war against
Moscow and the Communists.”
The danger of Communism in
America would not be great, he said,
unless the Reds should win m Spain.
“In that event,” he added, “the pro
paganda from Moscow would spread
through Western Europe and the
Communist organizations which now
are established under cover and
otherwise in American cities would
be bound to have their prestige in
creased. That is the real danger in
the Spanish situation.”

Four weeks ago, we announced publication of eight
booklets on Georgia. We offered them, first, to Geor
gians for their own use. We made the additional offer
to send them — free of all charge — to business and
personal friends and acquaintances of Georgians in
other states. We expected a large response, of course,
because we knew patriotic Georgians would welcome
an opportunity to advertise their state to the world.
But, we are frank to admit, the universal enthusiasm
with which our plan was greeted has exceeded our
fondest expectations. We already have sent these book
lets— by the thousands — at your request, to:

of these booklets, in their original illustrated style, in
color. But it is now being done,' so please be patient
with us. Your orders positively will be filled as quickly
as possible — whether you have already sent them in,
or do so within the next few dav*
Our Free Offer Still Goes!
We want you to see these book
lets anti read them — first. And

in other states as you request it.

either by letter or by postal
card. AH you have to do- is to
