National Advertisements of K. of C.
Now Available to Subordinate Councils
(Special to The Bulletin)
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Knights of
Columbus councils everywhere will
have the opportunity to publish the
Supreme Council’s advertisements
in their local newspapers.
The only cost to the council will
be the amount charged by their
local newspapers for advertising
space. The Supreme Council will
furnish complete mats on any or all
of its remarkably successful series
on international magazine adver
tisements without cost to the sub
ordinate councils.
The Supreme Council’s Religious
Information Bureau will, moreover,
handle all inquiries resulting from
the local publication of the adver
tisements, fill without cost to the
subordinate councils all requests
for literature, and provide a free
course on Catholic instruction by
mail to all who request it.
As local newspaper advertising
rates are relatively inexpensive, the
average K. of C. council can easily
meet the modest expense involved.
With inquiries being handled by
the Religious Information Bureau,
the council is relieved of all clerical
work. By including the name of
the local State Deputy and local
Grand Knight in the advertise
ment, it will be possible in many
instances to secure the lower ad
vertising rate that newspapers
usually allow local advertisers-
The chief purpose of the Catholic
Advertising Program is, of course,
to publish the truth about the Cath
olic Church—to explain what the
Church teaches and what Catholics
believe, and to correct misunder
standings and discredit baselass ru
mors. The tremendous success of
the program in this respect is wide
ly known.
But publication of the advertise
ments in local newspapers offers
many additional benefits for the
subordinate councils. The adver
tisements reflect the zeal of the
local Knights for their Faith. They
give the local council the prestige
of affiliation with an international
program of outstanding merit. They
supply clear and authentic answers
to questions often asked Catholics
by their non-Catholic friends and
neighbors.
K. of C. councils desiring to join
this .highly effective apostolate
should address their request to the
Supreme Secretary, who will see
that proofs and mats are supplied '
without charge.

At Sacred Heart

SAVANNAH, Ga. — The new
year brought several new pupils
to the Sacred Heart school, con

of Carondelet, among them Wal
ter Cramer, who returned after an
absence of several years; Arthur

boxes sent overseas during the

Helen Dougherty, of the second

gave her fellow-pupils a surprise
when she came to school wearing
a Japanese costume which she had
received from her father who is
stationed in Japan.
Many of the pupils from the
Sacred Heart school attended the
performance of “Buffalo Bill,”

Many Catholics Fail to Appreciate
Power of Catholic Press, But the
Church's Enemies Do, Says Bishop
BELLEVILLE, 111. — (NC) —-
Enemies of the Catholic Church
realize fully the power of the Cath
olic Press but too many Catholics
fail to appreciate its influence for
the “preservation of religion, free
dom and fundamental truths.”
This observation was made by
Bishop Albert R. Zuroweste of
Belleville, in a pastoral letter com
memorating the observance this
month of Catholic Press Month.
Bishop Zuroweste is the Assistant
Episcopal Chairman of the Press
Department, National Catholic
Welfare Conference.
Addressed to the clergy, reli
gious and faithful of his diocese,
the pastoral letter issued by Bishop
Zuroweste said;
“During the month of February
the important role of the Catholic
Press is brought to our attention.
Catholic newspapers and periodi
cals extol the progress and achieve
ments Of this efficient weapon of
truth. Our enemies recognize its
power while too many of the faith
ful fail to appreciate its influence
for the preservation of religion,
freedom and fundamental truth.
“No longer need we apologize for
this strong arm of the Church in
America. It is guided by compe
tent, sincere, devoted and zealous
apostles — men and women who
have unselfishly dedicated them
selves to this cause. They form a
courageous group who keep the
night watches and stand as senti
nels guarding every avenue of at
tack.
“Theirs is not only a defensive
warfare; they are on the offensive;
they spread the word of truth un
ceasingly, competently. There is no
moment of respite for them and
they glory only in the results of
their labors. We salute our Catho
lic editors, writers and staff mem
bers who comprise this member
ship in the Catholic Press in
America and pay tribute to them
during this month dedicated to the
Catholic Press.”
