“RELIGIOUS INROADS”
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ing that separation of church
and state in America is being “im

State Committee which urged**“a
struggle for emancipation of our
public schools from any sectarian

this struggle is not one' of aggres

(Special to The Bulletin)
GREENVILLE, S. C.—While the
Greenville Council of Catholic
Women iis holding ro regular
meeting during the summer
months, that does not mean the
members are not actively engaged
iu any worthwhile work.
At present the members of the
council are doing a mast worth
while work, that of gathering soap
and towels to send to the mothers
and children in war-ravaged na
tions.
Infants and children in many
ill-fated lands, who are suffering
from malnutrition, are co-ered
with unhealing sores which cannot
be cured because of the lack of
soap to keep them clean. Typhus
is spreading in eastern Europe and
thousands have already died in
Romania alone. This epidemic
will not stop because of a national
frontier. It cannot be stopped un
less soap is made available so
germs and infesting insects may
be washed away.
A large receptacle has been
placed in the vestibule of St,
Mary's Church and members of
the congregation are urged to de
posit soap and towels. Used towels
are welcomed. Worn towels can be
cut up and the undamaged por
tions put to other uses. Any type
of towel, hand or bath can be used
by those who are in desperate
need.
“Refugees and native popula
tions are being aided. Help is giv
en on the basis of need without re
gard to race or creed. These are
the children of our present peace;
children with broken little bodies
and broken little spirits. It mat
ters not whether the child belongs
to a victorious or a vanquished
nation—that little child with the
open sores from hunger and cold,
is an image of the Infant Saviour.
It is on the grey, wan faces of the
little ones that the terms of the
peace are really being written,”
declared Mrs. Jack Kearney, presi
dent of the Charleston Diocesan
Council of Catholic Women, who is
a leader in the campaign.
Mrs. Kearney has announced that
all contributions of soap and tow
els will be most gratefully receiv
ed, and those who do not find it
convenient to place their dona
tions in the box at the church may
call Mrs. Kearney, at 4427, or Miss
Mary Slattery, at 2039, and ar
rangements will be made to pick
up the soap and towels from the
donors.
