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.” ST.
