YOUTH
YOUNG ADULTS SHOULD
KNOW 3 R's OF DRIVING
Dear Doris:
My parents have two cars.
I have my license and I’m al
lowed to drive occasionally,
but my father won’t let me use
the car on dates. Do you con
sider a car a danger when dat
ing?
Don
Dear Don:
A car is a means of trans
portation, a convenience and a
responsibility. It isn’t a danger
when handled properly and re
spected for what it is — a 4,000
pound mobile package of steel
with potential for unlimited de
struction! Whether it is a dan
ger when dating depends on
your attitude about two things.
Speeding and parking.
Do you know and respect the
traffic regulations in your
state? They are made for ev
eryone’s safety. One driver in
one car violating a speed limit
may cause injury to many. You

know, Don, it is amazing the
number of young men who get
A in science and who forget
when driving that every time
you double your speed you
quadruple your impact.
ADULT PRIVILEGE
Do you practice Christian
charity? Being courteous is im
portant in everything we do.
Practicing courtesy while, driv
ing may mean the difference
between life and death.
Don, let me repeat, a car is a
means of transportation —- get
ting from one place to another.
It becomes a means of tempta
tion when “parked” with two
young people alone in it. There
are times when you and your
date may want to talk over
plans or discuss something pri
vately. Don’t let your car be
come a danger. Get out of it
and discuss your plans over a
Coke or soda.
If you are old enough to date
then you are old enough to have
developed a sense of responsi
bility toward adult privileges.
Driving a car is a major one.
Your parents’ refusal to let you
use the car when dating may
depend on this. Have you prov
en yourself responsible in other
ways?
If you are forgetful of duties
at home your dad may feel you
will be forgetful of your duties
when driving. A car is a con
venience, but an expensive one.
Do you appreciate this and do
something in return for the
privilege of using it? When was
the last time you filled the gas
tank?
Any one who uses a car,
whether for dating or the fam
ily ‘vacation, should know the
three R’s of safe driving: re
sponsibility, respect and reluc
tance. In the case of young ad
ults you must be responsible
enough to respect traffic regu
lations and reluctant to follow
the crowd who park to pet,
who speed for fun, who play
“chicken” for thrills.
WIN FRIENDS
BY FRIENDLINESS
Dear Doris:
My father has been transfer
red to another job and we have
to move to a different town. I’m
a sophomore in high school. All
the girls seem to know one an
other so well I feel lost. What
can I do to make friends?
Kay
Dear Kay:
Be patient. It takes time to
get acquainted with people,
whether teen-age girls or ad
ults. You probably miss your
old friends and are lonesome.
This is normal. But give your
self and the new girls a chance.
When we are anxious and im
patient we don’t put “our best
foot forward.” So slow down.
Take this opportunity to get
adjusted to the new school first.
It is natural for a newcomer to
sort of sit back and wait for
others to approach her. In this
case it is up to you to make the
effort.
Be friendly with everyone.
Make a point of speaking first
rather than waiting for someone
to speak to you.
Show your friendliness by be
ing interested in others. Ask a
classmate if you may join her
group for lunch. During lunch
forget yourself. Listen to the

and the care of sick women.
She was joined by several com
panions and this led to the
founding in 1535 of the Institute
of St. Ursula, the first specifi
cally teaching community of
women established in the
Church. She died in 1540 and
was canonized in 1807.
THURSDAY, June 2—SS.
Marcellinus and Peter, Martyrs.
St. Marcellinus, a priest, and St.
Peter, an exorcist, were promi
nent among the Roman Chris
tians at the beginning of the
fourth century. St. Peter was
first imprisoned and through his
patience brought about the con
version of his jailer and family.
St. Marcellinus baptized them,
which led to his own arrest.
They were condemned to death
and were executed in a forest
in 304 at a place unknown to
other Christians. Their bodies
were found later and interred
in the catacombs. Many cen
turies later, their remains were
transferred to Frankfurt, Ger
many.
FRIDAY, June 3—SS. Per-
other girls and enjoy them.
Find a girl who lives in your
neighborhood and walk home
with her. Nine chances out of
ten she will ask you in.
Join a school club which ap
peals to you; dramatics, debate
or science. Or join the parish
C.Y.O. This is a sure way of
meeting friends who have the
same interests as you.
Again, Kay, don’t be hasty.
Be friendly, kind and courteous.
In due time you will have a
host of new acquaintances, and
no time to “feel lost.”

though mere boys when they
were dragged from their class
room, they proclaimed their
Christianity and were put to
death during the persecution
under Decius in .250 at Arezzo
in Tuscany.
SATURDAY, June 4—St.
Francis Caracciolo, Confessor.
Scion of a noble family of Na
ples, he was born in 1563 at
Abruzzi. During his early years
he was afflicted with a skin
disease akin to leprosy and was
cured when he decided to be
come a priest. After ordination
with John Augustine Adorno,
he founded the Minor Clerks
Regular, one of whose main
duties is perpetual adoration of
the Holy Eucharist. He was the
first General of the community
and was renowned for his ad
ministration and his preaching.
He died in 1608 and was canon
ized in 1817.

Theology for
The Layman
(Continued from Page 4)
ing God direct, not simply hav
ing an immeasurably full and
rich idea of God, but something
closer even than that: we may
put it most simply as having
God himself in the soul, seen
as God, instead of an idea of
Him. We have no natural power
to know God like that, and no
power to love God with the love
proper to this new way of
knowing.
Thus our destiny is to do
something of which we are by
nature wholly incapable: to
reach and remain in it we have
to receive new powers in the
soul which are not there by
nature. And, because this life is
a preparation for the next, be
cause the next life flows with
out break from this, we must
receive these new powers in the
soul here upon earth. As re
ceived here, the supernatural
life, the life of sanctifying grace,
does not produce its full flower
ing in giving us here and now
the direct vision of God. But it
does lift the soul to new pos
sibility even in this life.
Observe that we are not given
a new soul, but new powers in
the soul we already have. Our
intellect is given a new access
to truth by Faith: now it can
accept God as the supreme
source of truth, whose word is
final. The will receives two vir
tues. One is Hope, by which it
desires God in the certainty
that He is attainable. The other
is Charity, by which it loves
God.
The function of man’s intellect
is to see the truth of things.
The senses bring to the brain a
mass of information about the
outer worlds; by intellect the
soul takes hold of this informa
tion and works upon it—thinks
about it, arranges it, finds mean
ing in it, finds meaning flowing
out of it. By Faith intellect
takes hold of truth at a new
level and in a new way. The
truth , concerned is truth about
God. By exercising its natural
powers on the universe He has
created, the human reason can
arrive at a great mass of truth
about Him. But Faith goes be
yond that—to what can be
known by us only if God tells
us.
Revelation is Faith’s object.
Pause on the word Revelation:
it is from a Latin word mean
ing that a veil is drawn back.
Our natural reason can explore
what lies on this side of the
veil, but the great mass of
reality lies on the far side.
The greatest of the truths
God reveals to us concern Him-
, seUA-supremely the truth of the
Three Persons in the One divine
Nature. As well there are truths,
otherwise veiled to us, about
ourselves—above all what we
are by grace, what follows
death, what our true goal is
and how we are to reach it. By
Faith, and only by Faith, we
can know what we are and
where we are going and how to
get there. Without it there is
nothing for man but blind
fumbling in the outer fringe of
reality.
The man who deserves praise
usually doesn’t want it, and the
man who wants it generally
doesn’t deserve it.

HAPEVILLE, GA.
BERLIN, (NC) — His Emi
nence Julius Cardinal Doepfner,
Catholic Bishop of Berlin, visi
ted Dr. Otto Dibelius Lutheran
Bishop of Berlin, to convey his
best wishes on the gve of the
Protestant leader’s 80th birth
day.
Bishop Dibelius, longtime
presiding bishop of the Evan
gelical Church in Germany and
one of the six presidents of the
World Council of Churches, was
80 on May 15. Cardinal Doepf
ner went to felicitate him two
days earlier, as he had to be
out of town on the actual anni
versary.
The Cardinal’s'visit was seen
here as a token of appreciation
for the brotherly help given by
the Lutherans to their Catholic
fellow countrymen since World
War II. Due to the shortage of
Catholic churches, Lutheran
churches throughout the region
have been made available to
Catholics for Mass for years,
and German Protestants have
opened their homes to Catho
lics coming here for conferenc
es.
The meeting here was Dr.
Dibelius’ second with a Prince
of Catholic Church in recent
weeks. The Lutheran Bishop
conferred with His Eminence
Maurice Cardinal Feltin, Arch
bishop of Paris, during a visit
to the French capital several
weeks earlier.
SELFISHNESS
Some people who have liberal
views are willing to allow the
liberty of others to end right
there.
INBORN WEAKNESS
Most people have good inten
tions, but self-interest often
takes over while the rights of
others are side-tracked or for
gotten.
