May Crowning
At Douglas
DOUGLAS—An impressive
and beautiful ceremony was
held at St. Paul’s Church on
Sunday morning, May 10, fol
lowing High Mass, when the
statue of Our Lady was crowned
with flowers.
In the evening, following
Benediction of the Blessed Sac
rament, a special Mother’s Day
Program took place at the Par
ish Hall to honor all mothers of
St. Paul’s Parish. After a cov
ered-dish supper, Joe Grammar,
Master of Ceremonies, intro
duced the speakers for the eve
ning. Rev. Father Gerard Moran,
Rev. Father Eugene Card, and
Mr. Joe Hanna.
Corsages were presented to
two oldest mothers, Mrs. Joe
Hanna and Mrs. Mose Hanna;
and also to the youngest mother,
Mrs. James Cof'er. Mrs. Ed
Smith opened the musical en

numbers become convinced that
indecent literature is morally
dangerous, and unless they vol
untarily avoid purchasing and
reading tiie kinds of literature
against which the law is
directed.”
Cardinal Cushing called on
those charged with enforcing
and applying the law to avoid
“hair splitting” distinctions
about what is obscene. Instead,
he said, they should use “the
norms of decency which prevail
among representative and re
spectable members ol the com
munity.”
The Cardinal cited as a “new
and depressing” element in the
obsecemty problem “the effort
which is being made in some
quarters to minimize the dan
gers which arise in the pre
valence of obscene literature,
and to impede the application
oi existing iaws . . .
“It is this dishonestly casuisti
cal evasion of the problem which
has emboldened distributors
and retailers to offer openly for
sale types of literature wnich
only a quarter of a century ago
would have fallen under univer
sal condemnation,” he said.
He added: “Let us not seek to
defend the reading of obscene
literature as a privilege guaran
teed by our human freedom. We
object to censorship as a re
straint imposed upon us from
without. Very well—then let us
exercise our freedom by impos
ing censorship upon ourselves.
The most noble exercise of free
dom is certainly not the choice
of literature filth.”

lamer Robins’
Civics Club
Ends 1st Year
WARNER ROBINS — The
Civics Club at Sacred Heart
School in Warner Robins, com
posed of children in the seventh
and eighth grades, has as a cen
tral purpose “the fostering of
training for good citizenship.”
Its charter, received recently
from the Commission on Ameri
can Citizenship in Washington,
D. C., formally recognized af
filiation of the local unit with
the national organization, con
sisting of thousands of such
clubs headquartered at Catholic
University of America.
The club has held its own
meetings under the control of
club officers and has planned
and directed various projects
which, since last October when
the club was set up has includ
ed a school beautification pro-,
gram, general help programs
for the teachers and complex
meetings to study the various
careers open to young people.
Through monthly projects and
study ol articles Matured in
“The Young Catholic Messen
ger,” tiie national Catholic
weekly for students of the upper
elementary grades, these young
citizens learn in a practical way
tiie meaning of Christian social
living based on principles of
justice and charity.
This year, the program of stu
dy and action has developed the
practical theme, “To Serve God
and Neighbor Best, Find the
Career Just Right for You.”
Through discussions and re-
porls, these careers have been
presented and investigated:
science, teachipg, trade and
medicine. They were being stu
died from the standpoint of
merits, educational require
ments and j,ob possibilities with
the main purpose of orienting
young people toward future ca
reers.
Officers of the club include,
Gary Lotti, president; Mike
Long, vice president; Nicky
Scheidecker, secretary; Bill Bur
ritt, sergeant at arms and Doug
las Clevenger, treasurer. Com-
mitte chairmen include Mari-
beth Reilly, projects committee;
Joan Dembowski, program; Pat
sy Golas, teacher’s aid com-
mitte and Charles Denight, pub
licity.
Une of the highlights of the
year for the young civics club
was a Christmas party, which
they planned, financed and
conducted themselves. T h e
group was chaperoned by the
grade mothers and their hus
bands.
Sister Mary Ignatius, princi
pal of Sacred Heart School, said
she considered it quite an ac
complishment for the students
to handle their own finances
and come out on the black side
ol the ledger.
Another ; project, considered
to be a continuous one, is that
of aiding teachers. Every day,
three or four members of the
committe have remained after
school to check desks for neat
ness, erase boards, put up pa
pers on the bulletin boards and
other things the teachers have
directed.
Madeline Soley, a member of
the club, born in England, re
cently became an American Cit
izen. She will be a member of
the eighth grade in the fall.
Spokesmen for the young
group say that the club has had
quite a successful year and has
many plans for the future.
