students was held, with the Rev.
Ambrose Smith, O. P., of the
Southern Dominican Mission Band,
as retregimaster.
A Valentine danefe .sponsored
by mothers of the students was
greatly enjoyed by the girls and
their guests, a group of Marines
from the Congaree Air Base. Miss
Anna Rose Tronco was voted
“Miss Popularity.”
Catholic Press month was fit
tingly observed at Ursuline this
year. Books and periodicals were
read and discussed in order that
the students might gain a greater
appreciation of the importance of
leading Catholic literature. The

Catholic Press Month program,

the Catholic Press as a means of
safeguarding the principles of
Christian living.

tion Month, in compliance with
the request of His Holiness Pope

remains the hope of the world for
increased vocations,” and who di
rected that a campaign of educa
tion and prayer for increased vo
cations to (he pircsthood and. the
religious life be launched in this
country.
Tn connection with the observ
ance of Vocation Month, some of
the students presented a program
entitled “Highways,” witih a east

General Greene Speaks
at Knights of Columbus
Breakfast in Augusta
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Maj. Gen.
Douglass T. Greene, commanding
general of the IRTC at Camp Gor
don, was the speaker at the Com
munion-breakfast for members of
Patrick Walsh Council, Knights of
Columbus, on February 25, follow
ing the 8:15 o’clock Mass at St.
Mary’s-on-The-Hill Church, where
members of the council had receiv
ed Holy Communion in a body.
General Greene, who is a con
vert to the Catholic Church, se
lected as the subject of his inter
esting and enlightening talk, the
work of the Catholic chaplains
with Ihe armed forces, outlining
the duties of the chaplains, the va
rious services which they can ren
der to the officers and men, and
also interpolating a number of in
cidents and personal experiences
by way of illustration.
Speaking of the high regard in
which the chaplains are held by
the men in uniform, General
Greene stated that in addition to
conducting religious services for
the units to which they were as
signed, the Army chaplains were
supposed to be in their offices
each evening for personal inter
views with the soldiers who would
come to them with questions to be
answered or problems to be solved.
In this connection .he said that
at one camp where he had re
cently been the commanding gen
eral he returned to the post around
11 o’clock one night and noticed
that lights were still burning in
the post chapel. Entering the
building to investigate, he discov
ered a long line of men waiting to
interview the Catholic chaplain,
who was Father Eugene Walsh,
now serving with General Mac-
Arthur’s forces on Luzon. Gen
eral Greene said he found out that
276 men had called on Chaplain
Walsh that night to discuss vari
ous matters with him, and that 6f
the 276 men, only 15 of them had
been Catholics.
Victor Markwalter. a past grand
knight of Patrick Walsh Council,
and a former State Deputy of the
Knights of Columbus of Georgia,
acted as toastmaster, introducing
General Greene, and presenting
District Deputy John H. Brennan
of Savannah, who was a special
guest at (he breakfast.
Bernard Doris, newly installed
grand knight of Patrick Walsh
Council, presided. Arrangements
for the breakfast were made by a
committee headed by John W,
McDonald, Jr., which included
John T. Buckley, P. H. Rice and
Grand Knight Doris. The break
fast was served by wives of mem
bers of the council, Mrs. John W.
McDonald, Jr., Mrs. Coleman
Dempsey, Mrs. James B. Mulherin,
Mrs. M. C. Stulb, Mrs. Victor
Markwalter, Mrs. John T. Buckley,
Mrs. W. C. Park, with Mrs. John
H. Brennan of Savannah.
The Very Rev. Thomas A. Bren
nan, V. F.. pastor of St. Mary's-on-
The-IIill Church, and chaplain of
Patrick Walsh Council, offered Ihe
Mass at which (he members re
ceived Communion. The Rev.

tor of St. Mary’s-on-The-Hill. as

munion.
Hymns were sung during the
