Fake Solicitor Is
Arrested in Florida
A fake solicitor for Catholic pub
lications who posed as a Franciscan
Erother has been convicted in Buf
falo. N. Y.. and such persons are
active in the South also. In Jackson
ville recently a man who claimed
to be securing subscriptions for
Catholic magazines in order to get
money to complete his medical edu
cation so that he could become a
medical missionary in China was ar
rested when a pastor there, fore
warned from Chicago and Atlanta
that he was probably headed that
way with such a story called in the
police. When the man made his ap
pearance and told his usual story; he
had no connection with the pub
lications he pretended to represent.
Solicitors for Catholic magazines
should be required to show their
credentials and they should be cur
rent ones. We bespeak for accredited
representatives of publications with
local Episcopal and pastoral approval
a courteous reception and such
patronage as it is possible to give.
