party for the seniors and service
men was given on December

Christmas spirit; refreshments
were served^ and the Reverend
Daniel J. Bourke completed the
picture by portraying the part of
Santa Claus.
After midnight Mass on Christ
mas Eve the Club was opened
and refreshments served. This
practice has become a tradition
in recent years.
The monthly meeting was held
on January 10th. Five parties
have been planned for the month

the senior members, and another

St. Anthony’s Club
Another year has rolled around
and old St. Anthony's Club is still
going. It's true we are fewer in
number, but we are still together.
We really missed all our boys
that were in service, but we tried
to remember each one by a Christ
mas card from the club. The
boy’s hadn't forgotten us either
for we received a card from al
most every one, even the boys
overseas’. Boys, we want you to
know we always enjoy hearing
from you and read your letters to
the club.
St. Anthony’s will be host to alt
the clubs in the city on Feb. 7th
at our joint Communion breakfast
and we hope a large number of
young people will be present.
The Knights of Columbus are
giving the hall over to the
young people each Thursday night
and so far every one has had
a grand time. Let’s all turn out
next week, and friends of any
member are invited.

(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
RICHMOND, Va.—An editorial
which appeared in the Christmas
Day issue of The Richmond New
Leader, secular daily, had as its
subject a soldier’s attendance at
Christmas Mass. The editorial fol
lows:
“Mister, can you tell me where
Ihe Catholic church is?” He was
a soldier. That much you could
see through the engulfing fog and
the darknes. When you walked
to his automobile to give him di
rections, you saw that he was in
his late twenties and that he was
driving a eorgia car. His voice
was intelligent; his answers were
polite.
You told him to turn from Bel-
videre into Franklin, and then to
skirt the park till he came to the
cathedral. Then you watched him
drive off in fog so thick that he
was out of sight before he was op
posite the old Travers house. It
was not then 5 o’clock. Had that
boy driven from Camp Lee or
from Bellwood or from nearer
guard duty? You did dot know,
hut you pictured him as he found
the cathedral and mounted the
steps and opened the door, and
then, in the familiar light of the
altar, bowed in his prayers. You
had no right to ask him for whom
he prayed. That was too sacred
even for your silent musing in the
darkness. You could permit your
self the warming thought of the
pride that boy’s Christian parents
would have had in him if they had
know that he aroused himself and
drove perhaps for miles through a
dangerous fog in the blackest of
a Christmas Eve to go to church
and to say the prayer he had leai”v-
cd at his mother's knees. Knowl
edge of that would have been the
sweetest Christmas gift those
parents could have received."

working hard. Our new Editorial

represented at the party given by
the Inter-Club Council. We were
in charge of the decorating, al
though the Newman Club did
most of it. But we took over their
part in the Refreshment Commit
tee, and prepared the refresh
ments.
We liope that our clubs will stick
together and work like they have
in the, past year. We would like
to take this opportunity to wish
everyone a very Happy New Year.

Well, folks, here we are’ again
after a month’s vacation. Seems
as though we have done little
these two months in the line of
activity due to the fact that the
boys are here today and gone to
morrow. Gee, whiz! that’s awful
to be kept on alert like that, eh!
Well, anyway, we had a wonderful
party for them this week, Thurs
day evening, January 21st, the
C. Y. P. A. sponsored a party for
the soldiers, soldiers’ wives, mem
bers of the G. S. O. and others at
the Ellis St. USO. An unusually
large crowd filled the decorated
hall and everyone had such a won
derful time that another party fol
lows next month. The highlight of
the evening was square dancing,
the caller was Mr. Gruber, who
kept things moving and saw that
our guests had a merry old time.
A delicious picnic supper was
served. A great deal of credit for
the preparation of some of the
food, which was abundant, goes
to Mrs. Ella Boeckman and the
girls (soldiers* wives) under her
direction, also to the personnel of
the USO for their fine coopera
tion.
Sunday morning, January 24th,
the members of the club attend
ed Mass at the Sacred Heart
Church and received Holy Com
munion in a body. After Mass the
crowd adjourned to a restaurant
for breakfast. We are proud of the
number of members attending.
At the bi-monthly meeting this
month, we were honored by hav
ing Father Bernard Brady, of St.
Patrick’s parish, give a very inter
esting talk. We enjoyed it so
much. I hope that we shall have
the pleasure of having Father
Brady again soon. So long Folks,
see you next month.
