JESUS OF NAZARETH IS PASSING BY"
Home And Mother, Not Nursery
School Place For 2-Year-Olds
Open Letter To A Patient
Dear Patient,
It is about seven a. m. Dawn
of another day brings the hust
ling corps of personnel into the
hospital to begin the various ac
tivities for care of the sick.
At the time of greatest activi
ty, there is a momentary pause.
The sound of the silver bell is
heard and all stop in reverent
prayer. Strangers who hear it
for the first time will naturally
ask with the blind man of the
Gospel who heard a crowd pass
ing on the road to Jericho,
“What might this be?” They will
be rightfully answered “Jesus
of Nazareth is passing by.” They
have but to view the respect
and reverence shown to know
that a great Visitor is passing
by.
It is the most important mo
ment. for the Catholic patient
who receives Holy Communion.
We all have need of the food of
eternal life, but for the sick this
need is acute. You should desire
to receive every day while at
the hospital. To arouse this de
sire, it is not sufficient that you
be conscious in an abstract way
of the Catholic doctrine of The
Holy Eucharist, that Christ is
present P>ody, Soul and. Divini
ty. You must have the truth of
faith alive and rgal and be con
vinced in a practical way that
this is the Bread come down
from heaven. Christ promised
to give Himself to us as a food
for our souls; “I am the Living
Bread that has come down from
Heaven. If anyone eat of this
Bread he shall live forever and
the Bread that I will give is My
Flesh for the life of the world.’
(John 6:15)
The Eucharist is the only real,
permanent miraculous medicine.
St. Augustine, great philoso
pher, describes the riches of
The Gift of God in these words:
“God all-wise though He be,
knows nothing better; all-pow
erful though He be, can do no
thing more excellent; infinitely
rich though He be, has nothing
more precious to give; than the
Eucharist.” In comparison with
this health-giving food all the
scientific medications and treat
ment available in a hospital
pale into insignificance.

HILLARD PLUMBING
& HEATING GO.
MUENSTEER, Sask., (NC) —
A Catholic newspaper here has
taken issue with the head of the
Ontario Council for Childhood
Education who advocated that
Canadian parents should start
their children to school at the
age of two.
“The average two-year-old is
far better off in the care of a
good mother than in the hands
of a nursery school teacher,” the
Prairie Messenger declared. The
weekly paper is published by
the Benedictine Fathers and has
a large circulation in the Pro
vince of Saskatchewan.
The head of the childhood
education council contended
that “youngsters . really need
companionship of children of
their own age when they are
about two” and at nursery
school they are taught to get
along with other children.
The Prairie Messenger said it
was not trying to belittle the
work of nursery schools and
that many children benefited
from such institutions. But, the
paper added:
“Though a mother may not
have all the scientific data and
the latest pargon from a 1958
child psychology course at her
fingertips, it seems to us that
the average two-year-old is far
better off in the care of a good
mother than in the hands of a
nursery school teacher. The first
and most important teacher and
the first and most important
school is the mother and the
home.
“If our economic system has
ordained it that this cannot be
so, that the mother must fol
low the father into the factory
or office and the children have
to be sent to the nursery or
kindergarten, a decidedly un
healthy state of affairs has
arisen.
“A mother belongs at home.
Her primary work is to see to
the early formation, physical,
mental and spiritual, of her
children. t If she is ill-equipped
for that, then the answer is
schools for parents, not nurs
eries and kindergartens for the
kids.”
FIRST SISTER
INTERNS AT
BELLEVUE
NEW YORK, (NC) — A Sis
ter is quietly making hospital
histoi’y here — : she is said to be
the first nun to intern at this
city’s famed Bellevue Medical
Center founded in 1736.
Sister Mary Thomas More, a
member of the Missionary Sis
ters of the Society of Mary,
makes her rounds in flowing
white habit and coif with the
intern’s characteristic short
white jacket over the habit.
Sister More, called “Doctor
More” by patients, has been at
Bellevue for a month. “Patients
are getting used to me,” she
said. “Some of them used to
take me for a nurse and one
woman asked if I was the dieti
cian,” she said.
A native of Brooklyn, the
nun began her career by study
ing pre-medical subjects at
Fordham University here. “For
me, it was a choice between be
coming a nun or becoming a
doctor.”
She chose to enter the Society
of Mary in 1951. But after tak
ing her vows, her superiors ask
ed if she would like to study
medicine at Marquette Universi
ty, Milwaukee.
“I jumped at the chance,”
she said. Last June, she was
graduated with her M.D. “Most
people only fulfill one goal in
their lifetime. Here I’m tele
scoping two,” she said.
After a year of interning, Sis
ter expects to study tropical
medicine for a year before as
signment to a mission, prob
ably in the South Pacific.
But in the meantime, she’ll be
at Bellevue and her duties for
the next month will take her
around the city in ambulances.

Plan
Increased
Benefits
SYDNEY, Australia, (NC) —
Increased family allowances and
maternity benefits have been
recommended to the Austrailian
government by the National
Catholic Welfare Committee
here.
Under the present law the
government grants allowances
for children at birth and also
provides weekly benefits there
after until they have reached
the age of 16.
Maternity rates are: $33.45
where there is one child; $.36.68
where there are two children
under 16; and $48.02 where
there are three or more.
The government provides al
lowances for children under 16
at a rate of 55 cents per week
for the first child and $1.11 for
each child in excess of one in a
family.
Under the plan submitted,
$1.91 a week allowance would
be paid for the third child; $2.23
for the fourth; $2.78 for t.he fifth
and $3.34 for the sixth and ad
ditional children, The present
rate of 55 cents per week for the
first child and $1.11 for the sec
ond would remain unchanged.
The proposed rate of materni
ty allowance is $66.90 where
there are no other children un
der 14, and $44.60 where the mo
ther has one or more children
under 14, and $66.90 where she
has twins and an extra $22.30
for each additional child in mul
tiple births.
This new plan is designed to
lessen the economic burden of
families, especially those of
more than average size.
