Mr. Gingell also asked the Convention delegates “H o w many of you have taken the time to thank your newspaper, your TV station, your radio sta tion for the fine coverage of the details of the Pope’s death and the election of his successor?

Mr. Gingell urged each dele gate and Layman present to resolve to do something positive during the next year to make the Church better understood in Georgia.

SECULAR PRESS PAYS TRIBUTE TO PIUS XII WAYCROSS JOURNAL- HERALD Pope Pius XII was a valiant fighter for peace. Even those who did not share his faith revered the pontiff as the symbol of mankind’s high est ideals. The leader of the world’s 500 million Roman Catholics stood firm against the Godless forces of Communism. He was an in spiration to those who suffered under the tyrant’s hand behind the Iron Curtain. As President Eisenhower said, in his tribute to the Pope: “An informed and articulate foe of tyranny, he was a sympathetic friend and benefactor to those who were oppressed . . .” As Papal Secretary of State, Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli visited the United States in 1936. Three years later he became the head of the Roman Catholic Church. U. S. Catholics like to point to the fact that he was the first man to become Pope who had ever visited this country. Throughout his life, Pope Pius waged a ceaseless war for peace. The failure of world leaders to stave off World War II was probably his saddest hour. He was a great friend of the un fortunate victims of that tragic conflict. He was a diligent scholar who had a keen and broad under standing of the great issues of our time. To Roman Catholics, he was a dynamic spiritual lead er and one of the greatest Popes of all time. People of all faiths mourn the passing of this great man of God. PLAN LIBRARY ST. LOUIS, (NC) — The Pius XII Memorial Library commit tee here has begun a national public fund appeal for the new $4,000,000 library in honor of the late Pontiff. An advertisement in 77 Cath olic newspapers throughout the country reproduced a letter written by the Pope in 1953 au thorizing the Memorial Library at St. Louis University.
