operator “to do things with bells
that never could be done before.”
The Carillon Americana has been
donated to Civitas Dei by David
Sarnoff, chairman of the board

Says US Teenage
Catholics Have
Greater Vitality
ST. LOUIS, (NC)—Teenage U.
S. Catholics have a vitality and
freedom lacking in their Euro
pean counterparts, a Dutch priest-
educator said here.
Jesuit Father Bernard T. Ter-
voort, here on a Dutch govern
ment mission to study methods
of speech instruction for deaf
children, said he marveled at the
“eagerness of life” shown by
Catholic teenagers here.
Youth in both Europe and
Arperica are “basically the same,”
wi|h the same problems and
ideals, Father Tervoort admitted.
But he said European teenagers
were more uncertain and “afraid
of life” than those in the U. S.
“They have serious doubts
about life,” he said. “Consequent
ly, they are more inclined to be
philosophical and engaged with
culture,” he said.
He said he believes American
teenagers’ “real lust for life”
stems largely from the freedoms
they enjoy because of democratic
life here.
“Not only is your country
founded on a Christian ideal of
freedom, but it actually offers a
freedom of opportunity in materi
al things as well,” he said.
He noted many U. S. teenagers
have their own cars, have more
pocket money than their Euro
pean counterpart®, and as a rule
marry younger. Shortage of fi
nances prevent most European
counles from marrying at the
early ages possible in America,
he said.
While the teenagers have un
deniable vitality, from the educa
tional point of view this has its
disadvantages, the priest said.
“Many of your students seem
to think high school means only
‘having a wonderful time.’ And
many school authorities try to
make education as easy as pos
sible for fear they might frustrate
the child,” Father Tervoort said.
The man who claims he can’t
live within his income should try
to live without one for a while.
It’s always been easier to write
history than to manufacture it.
