Vatican Prepares to Send
Diplomatic Representative
to Government of Finland
AT BEACH PARTY: Each Sunday morning, for nearly two years, mem
bers of the parish of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Charles
ton, S. C., have been serving breakfast to those in the armed forces.
Though most of the boys who are wearing the uniforms of the various
branches of our military and naval forces do not welcome “K. P." duty
at their camps or stations, they do volunteer gladly to assist in washing
dishes at the Cathedral Breakfast Club. In appreciation of this help the
young women of the parish who serve the breakfasts have given a num
ber of entertainments at the beach for those who have helped them in
the kitchen. The group above was photographed at one of the outings
at the beach.

C. Y. P. A.
Dear Members:
The azaleas, dogwood, and wis
taria are in bloom again in our
fair city and we know that the
mere mention of these recalls to
your minds many fond memories
of home and former “Springs”
when you were here to enjoy them
because judging from the letters
we have received from you, flow
ers and other things of beauty are
far removed from your posts.
We are glad to be able to report
to you that the panel work of
which we spoke in a former letter
is almost completed. The dance
hall, which was the first on the
list and the greatest portion of
the work, is already finished and
we expect the downstaifs hall and
stairway to be completed before
very long. This work has added
much to the beauty of our Club
and many favorable comments
have ben received from visitors
who have dropped in to see us in
the past week or so. We know that
you, like ourselves, are delighted
that this work was done as it adds
much to the general appearance of
the Club House.
The Sunday dinners have now
become a by-word in the various
camps located around Savannah.
It does seem to us that the crowd
grows by leaps and bounds each
week and, of course, we have the
“regulars” who come every Sun
day that they’re free. These boys
are all most appreciative and keep
passing the word on to their bud
dies.
Many come early and stay late,
because we now have Tea Dances
on Sunday afternoons from 4 until
7. These, like the dinners, have
taken quite a hold and the boys
seem to enjoy them tremendously!
We have quite a few entertain
ers among our weekly guests —
pianists, singers, and even a speci
alty dancer or two. All of these
add much to the general enjoyment
of our Sunday activities.
Speaking of entertainers — the
Von Trapp Concert of which we
wrote you, has been presented in
fine style and this wonderful fami
ly has captivated everyone who
saw and heard them. They were
entertained with a dinner prior to
the performance and as fine a
Catholic family, we have never had
the pleasure of meeting, for their
simple faith and manners were
admired by all in attendance.
We have been sending these let
ters to you with a view of keeping
you informed of the various “go
ings on” of your Club. But for the
most part, we have not had ac
knowledgement from some of you.
Therefore, \Ve are of the opinion
that many of you are not receiv
ing your monthly letter. So we
would ask that you keep us ad
vised of your current address. In
the meantime, we’re going to keep
contacting your families and hope
in this way to try to keep up with
you.
As you all probably know, we
have a good sized bulletin board
at the Club and up ’til now it
hasn’t been too overloaded with
letters from our members in the
Armed Forces. How about taking
out a few minutes when you get
this leter and drop us a line or
two. It’s good to hear from you be
cause we are all very much inter
ested in your activities and also
we’d like to pass on the good word
through this letter to the other
boys who are away from home.
We’ll be counting on hearing from
you in the very near future. Don’t
let us down!
Now for some news bits . . . Bet
ty Cooley and Frank Baran were
married Saturday, March 18th.
Essie Schreck is now recuperating
from an acute appendectomy—the
only good to come of this was that
Pete was given an emergency fur
lough so we caught a fleeting
glimpse of him while he was here.
Quite a few fellows have been
home lately; among these were
Charlie Laffiteau, Tommy Fahey,
Steve Craig, Tommy Bradley,
Pookie Roberston, Tommy Bey-
tagh, Vincent Ilyans and Jack Rus
sell.
With Easter coming, we arc
looking forward to seeing some of
you who are stationed nearby. To
the others we say, “A VERY HAP
PY EASTER” from Monsignor
Grady and all of us to all of you!
Sincerely yours,
Mary McCarthy,
For THE CATHOLIC YOUNG
PEOPLE’S ASSOCIATION.
P. S. We are still awaiting the
arrival of some of the pictures we
asked you to send us. Keep us in
mind the next time you have one
available so that we can swell our
present collection.

VATICAN CITY,—-The Holy See
is preparing to send an accredited
diplomatic representative to the
Helsinki Government as soon as
conditions make it possible to do
so, Osservatore Romano asserts in
an article marking the approaching
twenty-fifth anniversary of the
erection of the Vicariate Apostolic
of Finland.
Osservatore points out that the
Vatican acquiesced in the desire of
the Government of Finland, ex
pressed in 1942, to have formal
diplomatic relations with the Holy
| See; that a minister plenipotentiary
was sent from Finland to the Vati
can, but that prevailing conditions
have made it impossible for the
Vatican to reciprocate by sending a
representative to Helsinki.
“It is known that in 1942 the
Finnish Government expressed its
desire to establish diplomatic re
lations with the Holy See,” Osser
vatore said in its commemorative
article yesterday. “The Holy See,
which by virtue of its universal
mission extends its solicitude to all
peoples and very willingly avails it
self of all occasion to come into
closer relations with them, adhered
with pleasure to the proposal.
“There was then named and sent
to the Vatican a plenipotentiary
Minister. The event was saluted
warmly by the Finnish press, as al
so by the press of Sweden and of
other nations. By reason of condi
tions existing at the moment when
diplomatic relations were estab
lished it was not possible to pro
vide for complete reciprocity, but
it can be said that as soon as cir
cumstances permit the Holy See
also will accredit its representative
with the President of the Finnish
Republic.
“The Finnish people are in hopes
that the moment for welcoming the
Vatican diplomat in their country
and for receiving him with due de
ference and honor will not be long
delayed. Recently the Helsinki pa
pers have spoken of this, indicating
a wish for the early realization
and pointing out the international
prestige of the Holy See.”
