I’m 15 years old. Just because I’m not interested in boys my sister calls me a square. She says I’m jealous of her because I haven’t a boy friend. Do you think this is fair? It’s perfectly normal not to be interested in boys at my age, isn’t it? Marie Yes, it’s perfectly normal NOT to be interested in boys at 15. Everyone is different, even sisters. While one girl dates oc casionally at 15, another isn’t interested until 18. Individual differences have an important part in developing our per sonality. They influence our school work and how we dress AND when we date. Don’t be afraid of being dif ferent, Marie. Find a hobby you like. Join a club at school. Here you will meet other girls interested in the same things you’re interested in. By keeping busy your sister will see that you’re not jealous of her. Even sisters who are quite different can be quite close, so try not to quarrel with her. • * * TOO ANXIOUS Dear Doris: I’m 13 years old and can talk to boys pretty well but when it comes to the boy I really like I get so nervous and bashful I can’t make any kind of conversation. It makes me feel so dumb. Pat A. I don’t think you have to worry at all. With this certain boy you’re just a little too anx ious. Instead of trying so hard, relax.

You don’t have to feel dumb. Lots of girls and boys feel this way but they get over it. It might help if you realize the boy probably feels the same way you do — tongue-tied. Concentrate on putting him at ease. Ask questions about school and the sports he likes. Listen to his answers and con versation will follow naturally. Don’t be afraid of silence, Pat. Many girls think they have to chatter away constant ly — but they are wrong. Boys appreciate girls who can listen. Listening is the most import ant ingredient in a good con versation. * * * HAIR CARE What can I do to brighten up dull brown hair? And what is the best hair-do to wear during school time? Carol Brown hair needn’t be dull. Are you using the right sham poo and rinsing thoroughly? Experiment with shampoos un til you find one that suits you. When hair “squeaks” it’s clean and rinsed. Shampoo often. While some girls may go a week to ten days your hair may look bet ter if washed every five days. Brushing is a must to keep hair gleaming and shiny. Our grandmothers believed nothing less than one hundred strokes a day would do. The best hair-do for school is the simplest. One of the re cent ads for a new attractive style reads, “Short and Sweet —Brushed and Neat.” Short hair is easy to manage and saves time. However, lengths vary according to the shape of your face, hair line, etc. Start off right, save your allowance and go to a shop for a pro fessional styling. Stay away from the exagge rated, flamboyant styles. Save the beehives and bird nests for gala events when you can af ford to have it done by an ex pert. # # # HEALTH CAREERS Dear Doris: I’m 16 and would like a part time job this summer. My in terest is in health careers. I would like very much to do science work or be a volunteer nurses’ aide. I feel this part time job will give me an idea of what I’m really fitted for in the future. I like nursing but I also like scientific re search. Theresa Summer or part time jobs in scientific research are general ly limited for one your age. Most companies prefer college students who are taking ad vanced science courses and who will remain with the com pany after graduation. Howev er, you may find a job of this kind depending on the plants and other resources in the area. Talk to the science teach er or guidance counselor in school. They will know of the local possibilities. For a job as a nurse’s aide, either paid or volunteer, apply directly to a hospital. Many hospitals conduct free courses for aides. If you can’t get into a course this summer you may want to put your name on the list for the future. D oris Revere Peters answers letters through her column, not by mail.

Decatur Rd., Decatur, Ga. — Ph. 377-3737 FLESH VERSUS SPIRIT m die || Rectory •y The Rev. teherl ML Whertee An intrepid photographer went to a haunted castle de termined to get a picture of a ghost which was said to ap pear only once in a hundred years. Not wanting to frighten off the ghost, the photo grapher sat in t h e dark until mid night when the appari tion became visible. The ghost turned out to be friendly and consented to pose for one snapshot. The happy photographer popped a bulb into his camera and took the picture. After dashing to his studio, the photographer developed the negative and groaned. It was underexposed and com pletely blank. The spirit was willing, but the flash was weak. It’s an old, old story. The spirit usually is willing, we’re full of good intentions. Saints would be popping out of every doorway across our fair land if we could depend on those things with which the road to hell is paved. But the flesh is weak. Blame it all on Adam. And Eve too. It might seem rather disloyal to pin the blame on them. But it is a fact of our faith that the weakness of our human nature was caused by our greatest-grandfather’s fall. The story of the first sin — original sin — is a familiar one. The Creator showered His gifts upon the first man and woman. They were free from suffering and death, free from unruly passions, free from ig norance. But the most precious treasure was grace, that share of God’s own life which raised them to a new — almost di vine — level. All these things were to be passed on to the descendants of Adam and Eve. All of us were destined to be born with grace, to share Adam’s free dom from human weakness. All this, if the first man had remained faithful to, God. The rest of the story is well- known to Catholics. Satan spoke and Eve listened. Eve talked it up and Adam gave in. The prohibition was sim ple enough —• not to eat the fruit of a certain tree. Break ing the commandment was equally simple. Adam and Eve tasted the fruit, and at that moment the human race tast ed the bitterness of rebellion against God. This was original sin, and its immediate effects were sad enough. The first man and woman were forced to leave a cozy Paradise for a cold world. But the after-effects, the hangover, was the worse. The children of Adam from that time came into the world deprived of those special gifts of God. Christ’s glorious redemption, it’s true, restored grace to our souls. He opened the gates of heaven and made us children of God again. These benefits are applied to our souls at Baptism. Our precious birth right, grace, was returned in full measure through God’s goodness. The children of Adam, how ever, still suffer the depriva tion of the other gifts. We must labor and suffer and die. Our minds are clouded by ig norance. But, what is most tragic, we inherit a powerful inclination to sin. Willing spirits carried about in vessels of clay. Everyone is conscious of an inner struggle, a battle between the forces of good and the inclination to evil in the intimacy of his soul. St. Paul described this con flict eloquently in his Epistle to the Romans. “For I do not do the good that I wish,” he said, “but the evil that I do not wish, that I perform.” He means nothing else but THE BULLETIN, March 18, 1961—PAGE 5 the spirit’s struggle against the flesh when he adds: “For I am delighted with the law of God according to the inner man, but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and mak ing me prisoner to the law of sin that is in my members.” Those who would dismiss the story of man’s fall as a myth must reckon with the force of evil. They must find some other explanation, not only for our inner conflict, but for the horrors of the Nazi gas chambers, the cruelty of Com munist brainwashing, all of “man’s inhumanity to man.” Evil is a powerful force — not just because Satan is a super-salesman, but also be cause human infirmity can manufacture its own troubles with assembly-line ease. I’m reminded of the police station at which things were so slow the detectivs were playing cards to pass the time. “What a life,” grumbled an officer, “no fights, no thefts, no riots, no murders, no nothin’.” “Rest easy, Mike,” said the captain. “Things’ll break soon. You just gotta have faith in human nature.” That’s it. We gotta have faith in original sin, faith in the weakness of our weakened human nature. And faith, as well, in God’s power. “Unhappy man that I am!” exclaimed St. Paul. “Who will deliver me from the body of this death?” The Apostle’s answer, and our answer: “The grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Points Up Grave Family Life Dangers NEW YORK, (NC) — Con cern over the present state of the American family was voiced here by Msgr. George H. Guilfoyle, executive direc tor of New York Catholic Charities. In the organization’s 1961 annual report, the Monsignor noted the continued incidence of divorce, separation, deser tion, illegitimacy and other forms of family disintegration which constitute a grave dan ger to the country from with in. He called for renewed ef forts to preserve and strength en family life. Characterizing the family as democracy’s oldest frontier and America’s first line of de fense, Msgr. Guilfoyle stressed the necessity for such efforts in a half-slave, half-free world where family solidarity often is treated as a threat to the authority of a totalitarian state. “These fundamental social ills within American society,” the report stated, “requires more than the mere appropri ation of welfare dollars to fi nance the specialized care of the thousands of rejected, de pendent and neglacted chil dren who are its victims. They demand a profound reapprai sal of the causes of family dis unity and what we should be doing to check if not to elimi nate them.” The report was released in connection with the start of Catholic Charities’ 42nd an nual fund appeal, which this year has set a goal of $3,325,740.

Bishop Walsh 1 WASHINGTON, (NC) — The U. S. State Department dis closed here that another move is being made to secure the freedom of Bishop James E. Walsh, M.M., who is a prison er of the Chinese Reds. A department spokesman confirmed that Jacob D. Beam, U. S. Ambassador to Poland, was to meet with Wang Ping- nan, Red China’s Ainoassadur to Poland, in Warsaw, Poland. Two issues are to be raised by Mr. Beam in the meeting, it was disclosed. One will concern the U. S. request for the release of five Americans who are being held prisoner by the communist Chinese and the other will concern an exchange of jour nalists with communist Chma on a reciprocal basis. The State Department spokesman said that Bishop Walsh is among the five American prisoners whose cases will be discussed. The Maryknoll Bishop, last Ameri can missioner in China, was sentenced to 20 years in prison by a communist Chinese court in March, 1960.

JOHNS i ON IS HEAD of the Motion Picture Association of America and the Association of Motion Picture Producers. As MPAA head, he is chiefly responsible for enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code, in which producers pledged themselves to observe certain canons of decency, morality and good taste. The code has been repeated ly violated. Hollywood has proved irresponsible, not re sponsible. Having neglected to restrain itself, it now wants to destroy all restraint . I don’t think Johnston will succeed. The public should see that he doesn't. But if he does, then society’s only recourse is prosecution of producers and publishers after they have shown their wares. The radio-TV and book peo ple mignt find that Johnston and they have jumped from the frying pan into the fire. The public’s patience is not endless. 10 oz. 59c GORDON FOODS Div.
