Celestine Sibley, Recent Winner of
Christopher Award, Comments on
Father Keller's Talk in Atlanta
ATLANTA, Ga. — Celestine
Sibley, who recently was the re
cipient of a $2,000 award from
The Christophers, for an article
she had written, commented as
follows in her column in The
Atlanta Constitution on the talk
which was made by Father James
E. Keller, M. M., founder of the
Christopher movement, on April
27 at the Sacred Heart School
auditorium here:
With the summer political season
edging up on us, some of the
things Father James E. Keller said
during his visit the other night
would seem to be very timely.
Father Keller is the handsome
51-year-old Catholic priest who
founded the Christopher movement
on the promise that making the
world a decent, peaceful place is
everybody’s responsibility — and
JAMES C. YOUNG
DIES IN AUGUSTA
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Funeral ser-
vicesdfor James C. Young, widely
known Augustan, and a veteran of
World War II, who died April 30,
were held at St. Mary’s-on-The-Hill
Church, with Father Harold J. Barr
officiating. Mr. Young was buried
in Westover Cemetery with full
military honors.
Bom in Boston, Mr. Young came
to Augusta with his parents when
a small child. He attended the
Boys’ Catholic High School and the
Richmond Academy here. Just
prior to World War II, together
with a group of his friends, he en
listed in the 19th Battalion of the
U. S. Marine Corps, which was or
ganized here under the command
of Colonel W. Weedon Barr.
When the battalion was called in
to service in 1940, Mr. Young went
with the outfit to Norfolk Naval
Yards for training, later going to
Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, Calif.
He served in the Pacific theatre of
the war with the Fourth Marine
Division and participated in the
bloody campaigns of Saipan, Roi,
Namur, Tinian and I wo Jima.
Upon returning to civilian life
after the war, he became associated
with the electrical contracting busi*
ness operated in Augusta by his
father.
Last year, he was recalled to ac
tive duty with the Marine Corps,
and received his discharge some
months ago, when he became a pa
tient at the Forest Hills division of
the Veterans Administration hospi
tal here. ■
Mr. Young is survived by his
wife, the former Miss Joyce Eliza
beth Lawrence, of Augusta; a son,
James C. Young, Jr.; his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. James A. Young; his
twin brother, Francis Joseph
Young, of Arlington, Va,; and two
sisters, Mrs. R. E. Spires, of New
Orleans, and Miss Esther Young, of
Augusta.
MRS. ANNA PORZIO
DIES IN SAVANNAH
SAVANNAH, Ga.—Funeral ser
vices for Mrs. Anna Aprea Porzio,
who died May 7, were held at the
Sacred Heart Church.
Born in Sorrento, Italy, in 1875,
Mrs. Porzio had lived in Savannah
for most of her life. She is surviv
ed by a daughter, Mrs. Josephine
Brown; three sons, John Porzio,
Louis Porzio and Nicholas Porzio;
two sisters, Mrs. Nick Serros, Mrs.
S. Cliento, both of Orlando, Fla.,
seven grandchildren and several
nieces and nephews,
none of us can escape it.
“During the last war I made a
study of the Communists,’’ Father
Keller said. “I found they were
pretty sharp doers, movers in a
big way. I found that their way
is to work where they can reach
the vast majority of people. You
can find them teaching, writing,
getting into labor.”
Father Keller said the Commu
nists can undermine homes,
churches, business and profession
al life and have caused nations to
totter and collapse by weakening
them in their four most vulnerable
places — government, education,
communications and labor rela
tions.
“Our Lord told us to learn from
the children of darkness,” Father
Keller said, “The Communists may
be followers of the devil but they
work like the devil.”
He said a comparatively few
communists working in key places
could destroy a nation well loved
but greatly neglected by millions
of easy-going, indolent “good citi
zens.”
The militant priest’s remedy is
so simple most of us spend all of
our lives overlooking it. He cited
one humiliating case after another
of well-meaning parents who dis
courage their children from enter
ing politics or from teaching school
where they Have the greatest po
tential power for good.
“I’m not telling you to quit your
jobs and go into politics or teach
ing or writing,” Father Keller said,
adding thoughtfully, “although
some of you might well do it. But
I do say that it is the good citi
zen’s job to see that good citizens
occupy places of power and trust.
“Not more than one per cent of
our population is trying to wreck
our country but they are working
in spots that count. I believe that
if we can get into these spots one
per cent who believe in basic
truths, who love God and our coun
try and are loyal, we have nothing
to fear from the Communists or
anybody.”
The Christopher founder point
ed up as the concerned citizen’s
first duty the 'exercise of his vote.
He didn’t mention it but it certain
ly seems to follow that we should
know as much as possible about
our candidates for public office and
actively support the good ones.
“The easiest way to lose a game,”
he said, “is to take the good players
off the team.”
