priest turned his back to the
congregation, read for the
most part in silence and, when
he prayed aloud, he did so
in a language I couldn’t under
stand. It left me bewildered.
“I took the marriage instruc
tions from Father Daniel Cos
grove and we were married in
the Sacred Heart Church in
Oakland. Bob’s mother gave
me a copy of THREE TO GET
MARRIED and it opened my
eyes to the Church’s high
ideals concerning matrimony.
Sister Mary Emmanuella’s
wedding present was a beauti
ful rosary, which I cherished
for its beauty. One day I knelt
down by my bed and said the
rosary slowly and devoutly,
meditating on each of the
mysteries.
“That was the turning point.
I arose with a great yearning
to become a Catholic. I took
the complete instructions from
Father Charles F. Ward at
Corpus Christi Church in Mi
ami. All doubt vanished when
I learned of the establishment
of the Church by Christ, who
promised to be with it always.
When Jesus came to me in
Holy Communion my heart
was flooded with joy. Thus
did Mary lead me to the feet
of her divine Son.”
Father O’Brien will be glad

Dame, Indiana, so he may write
up their conversion stories.

GOD COMMANDED MAN
TO SUBDUE THE EARTH
Dear Doris:
A friend and I were watch
ing a movie on space and we
got to talking about why peo
ple want to see if it’s possible
to live on another planet. Af
ter all, God put us on earth
and if He wanted us on Mars
He would have put us there.
I know it’s too late for them
to keep us with Russia but
why would they want to ex
plore space? Earth isn’t so fill
ed with people that they have
to make room for others.
Mike
Pope Pius XII in a speech
in 1955 to the 7th International
Congress of Astronautics gave
his blessing to man’s efforts to
conquer the universe peaceful
ly. It’s this word peaceful
Mike, from which we take our
cue; not a race with Russia,
curiosity or adventure.
God who gave us our thirst
for knowledge did not intend
that we limit our efforts when
He said, . . fill the earth
and subdue it” (Gen. 1:28).
Man, created by God, is mas
ter of the universe. While our
natural habitat is earth, we
depend upon the sun to pro
vide light, heat and energy
necessary for life. In a lesser
way the earth and all the oth
er bodies of the universe are
interdependent. For example,
gravitational attraction exists
between all bodies and keeps
each planet in its proper orbit.
While we may never live on
another planet our concern
over the food, fuel and mineral
resources may find a solution
in the quantities of minerals
on the other planets. So our
exploration of space is valua
ble in many ways.
Pius XII in his remarks
about our efforts to conquer
the universe said, “. . . such
efforts reveal the impulse urg
ing man to exceed himself, to
grow morally, and to find in
his soul ever new resources
of generosity and heroism.”
TALL AND HEAVY
Dear Doris:
I’m 17 years old and tall and
a little heavy. What can I do
to look shorter but not fatter?
What type heel would you
suggest for tall girls like me
to wear?
Chrissy
Why bother trying to look
shorter? The more you try the
more conspicuous you become.
Posture is more important
anyway, so develop a good
posture and it will carry off
any height.
The little french heel popu
lar today is a great boon for
tall girls. Don’t make the mis
take of waring flats. They’re
a poor disguise and not at all
flattering.
While bouffant and fussy
clothes are definitely out you
can wear lots of things short
girls can’t wear. Horizontal
stripes and wide belts are at
tractive and tend to cut
height. However, if you really
are a little heavy go easy on
those stripes. Concentrate on
interesting fabrics and sub
dued colors. But most impor
tant make simplicity the by
word of your wardrobe. Tall
or short you can always be
sure you’re in good taste if
you stick to the simple lines.
ROUND DANCING
Dear Doris:
I have heard from a reliable
Catholic source that it’s wrong
according to the Catholic re
ligion to round dance (slow
dance). If it is wrong, why?
Wilma
Dancing is a neutral act and
of itself is neither right nor
wrong. It’s the individual and
what he or she puts into the
dance or expects to get out of
it that could make it wrong.
Some dances, by both posi
tion and action are very sug
gestive. Such dances might
even lead to an occasion of sin.
But, Wilma, dancing is an
art and can be very beautiful.
It’s also healthy exercise and
delightful recreation. Why not
keep it that way?
ALL MIXED UP
Dear Doris:
I’m a junior in high school
and I have been going steady
with a boy for about a year
now. We thought we knew
right from wrong. But it
seems, ever since a certain
priest came to this parish and
talked to us on such matters
we’re all mixed up. Is it a sin
to kiss if you don’t go any
further?
Dottie
When in doubt, listen to the
priest; and follow his advice.
He knows the difference be
tween right and wrong. Maybe
you only thought you did. The
priest offers dependable guid
ance. His only purpose is to
teach you the basic truths and
principles so you can make
sound decisions and lead a
good moral life.
Follow his advice and you
won’t be all mixed up.

magic of honest affection. I do
not know him well, but I be
lieve he does appreciate, un
consciously, the fact that I do
not importune him. He can
take his good time about re
vealing himself; I can wait.
JEANNE MARIE is as deli
cate in spirit as her name. Pos
sibly the time will come when,
as the song goes, she will grow
accumtomed to my face; at
present it sends her off to hide
in corners. But she is only 2
years old; and at that age the
world is big and frightening.
Kathy is seven months; and
of her I know nothing save
that never have I seen a more
robust girl baby. That will do
for a starter. I must wait upon
time to make her acquaintance
and discover what personality
God has sent to earth in her.
The trouble is, you see, that
the grandchildren live far
from me, and their visits to us,
and ours to them, are too
short for more than prelimi
nary ice-breaking. But some
day, I suppose, I will retire if
I live; and maybe then they
will see enough of me to grow
weary of me. It is easily done.

Padre Pio
Marks 74th
Birthday
SAN GIOVANNI ROTON-
DO, Italy (NC) — The stig-
matic Padre Pio of Pietralcina
celebrated his 74th birthday
here with a Mass of thanks
giving in the monastery church
of Our Lady of Grace where
he lives.
The Capuchin Friar, widely
known for what is believed to
be the imprint of the wounds
of Christ in his flesh, passed
the day quietly reading the
messages and telegrams that
came from every part of the
world.
Called in the morning by
the cheers of the crowds that
gathered in the square in front
of the monastery (May 25),
Padre Pio appeared at the
window of his cell and ac
knowledge their greetings.
(NCWC News Service)
BOSTON — Political differ
ences cannot lessen the “debt
of fervent prayer” for the
President owed by all Ameri
cans, Richard Cardinal Cush
ing declared at President Ken
nedy’s 44th birthday celebra
tion.
“Prayer is and must be non
partisan,” the Archbishop of
Boston said (May 29) at a
birthday dinner in the Com
monwealth Armory.
“No inevitable difference of
opinion, no conscientious res
ervations in political support
can possibly diminish the debt
of fervent prayer that every
one who loves America or hu
manity owes the President of
the United States in times so
perilous,” Cardinal Cushing
said.
The dinner took place on the
eve of President Kennedy’s
departure for Europe, where
he held separate meetings with
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush
chev, French President Charles
de Gaulle, and British Prime
Minister Harold Macmillian.
Cardinal Cushing urged
prayers that Americans will
show “moral toughness.”
“Only as the representative
and image of such a people
can the President hope to re
assure our friends and recon
cile our foes as he moves about
as the spokesman for America
in the international communi
ty,” he stated.
The Cardinal said that in
less than a half-year President
Kennedy has had “more than
a normal lifetime’s experience
in the trials of his office and
of the dangers to our beseiged
democracy.”
He declared that these are
times of “deep divisions of
opinions” in the nation — “di
visions sometimes healthy,
sometimes unfortunate, but in
any case inevitable.”
Of such divisions and ten
sions, he continued, the Pres
ident is the “storm center”
and “moderator.”
On the international scene,
he said, the times are ones of
“great danger” to the nation.
“Times of such great danger
and decisions for America
make superhuman demands on
the energy and talent of the
President,” he said.
In such times, he added,
both the President and the na
tion, “however strong, (are)
urgently in need of prayer.”
Cardinal Cushing said the
Society Need
Not Tolerate
Obscenity
NEW YORK (NC) — Socie
ty need not stand helplessly
by in the face of a mounting
tide of pornography, a confer
ence here on the obscenity
problem was told.
Dr. William P. Riley, presi
dent of the New York Citizens
Committee for Decent Litera
ture, declared that society “has
the duty to encourage free
communication of ideas, but it
also has to protect itself from
dangers.”
“Society is charged with the
duty of drawing the line —
that expression be not choked
nor obscenity permitted to
flourish,” he said.
Dr. Riley spoke at a confer
ence on obscenity sponsored
by the Manhattan College n-
stitute for Forensic Research
and the Metropolitan Law En
forcement Conference. Nearly
300 law enforcement officials
attended the meeting.
Judge John J. Connelly of
the Boston Juvenile Court
said those who seek more
stringent state and Federal
laws on smut should not be
deterred by opponents who
claim they are a threat to free
speech.
“Rather we should answer
them that we can understand
their glib reply as nothing
more than an effort to pre
serve their illicit profits at
the expense of the well being
of our youth,” Judge Connelly
said.
“We wholeheartedly disap
prove of censorship per se, but
we do think that there must
be a legal, constitutional man
ner in which to afford pro
tection against pure license,”
he said.
Harvey G. Foster, special
agent in charge of the New
York office of the Federal Bu
reau of Investigation, said co
operation among police agen
cies in fighting obscenity is
“essential if the deceit citi
zens of this country are to be
protected.”
dangers facing America are
due both to “the temptations
to complacency and selfishness
at home and to envy and ag
gression abroad.”
“Hence our prayer must be,
and with that prayer our reso
lution, that Americans will
prove themselves a people of
spiritual integrity and moral
toughness,” he said.
The Cardinal warned that
American affluence is “irrele
vant ... if here the soul is
starved.”
“There is no image of
America that will be more
evocative of our best tradi
tions and our greatest
strength, poise and self-confi
dence than the image of
America as a nation united in
prayer with and for its Pres
ident,” he said.
He added: “We owe Ameri
ca our prayers, and this debt
we discharge when we pray
for the President. No support,
no gift, nothing anyone can
give him, can be more profit
able to him or salutary to the
nation than the disinterested
prayers of the devout.
“We pray that he may be a
living channel of God’s grace
to the national and the human
community — that the prayers
we pledge him on his birth
day may help quicken through
out the world a new spirit: a
spirit of willingness, devoid of
sham and artifice, that is rea
dy to make whatever sacrifice
may be needed to establish
fraternal solidarity among the
nations of the world and en
during spiritual dignity here
at home.”
