A Sad Farewell
Goodbyes are always hard, but they are extremely hard to
make when the friendship of those you are leaving goes back
more than thirty-four years.
Our affiliation with the Augusta papers goes back to
1920, when arrangements were made with The Augusta
Chronicle to print The Bulletin. The Bulletin was printed
on the presses of The Chronicle until 1928 when it was taken
over by The Augusta Herald. This relationship has continued
thi’ough the years. When the two papers formed The News
paper Printing Corporation, The Augusta Herald continued
to print The Bulletin.
Our task of getting out the paper over the years was
greatly eased by the aid and spirit of cooperation that was
always evident among those who worked on The Bulletin.
■ 10 Albert Huntington and all in the composing room; to
G B. Thurmond and the stereotypers; to Frank Hatcher and
all the pressmen; to the boys downstairs in the mailing and
engraving departments, for all your kindnesses, we say thanks
from the bottom of our hearts.
To G. R. Boswell, Publisher; Frank Bodenhamer, Mechan-
ical Superintendent; Pat Rice, General Manager of Newspaper
Printing Corporation, and everyone at N. P. C., we wish to
express our appreciation for all you have done for us over
the years.
But most of all we want to say thanks to Harold Partridge.
Since 1934, for over twenty years, it has been Harold who
has made up the pages of The Bulletin, month in, month out
Harold is perhaps more a part of The Bulletin than anyone
presently a member of the staff. He made up when Dick Reid
vvas editor for the late Hugh Kinchley. Yes, we want to say
wanks.to Harold. Thanks for his aid and valued friendship.
,, . B * s regrettable that we must leave after more than a
third of a century. We will miss you all. It is a sad farewell.

ARCHBISHOP GREETED AS HE
ARRIVES TO ASSUME DUTIES
POPE ADDRESSES
CANADA CONGRESS
VATICAN CITY, (NC)—“To
the rapid evolution of society and
its institutions there must cor
respond a parallel effort on the
religious level,” His Holiness
Pope Pius XII stated here in a
special radio broadcast to the
closing session of the Canadian
Marian Congress.
The eleven-day Canadian Mar
ian Congress at Three Rivers and
at Cap de la Madeleine, attended
tended by thousands of persons
from all parts of the country,
ended on the Feast of the As
sumption with the crowning of a
statue of Our Lady.
Speaking in both English and
French, the Holy Father said that
“it is important that the Chris
tian, be where he will, exercise a
decisive influence for the good”
in matters of social change.
“Careful to follow the move
ment of ideas,” the Pope said, “he
will intervene in time to defend
and promote the principles of
sound morality.”
The Christian, His Holiness ad
ded, “will take care to safeguard
fully the rights and prerogatives
of the human person as regards
his temporal and eternal destiny.”

Visitation Nuns Enter Cloister
As New Monastery is Dedicated
LONDON, (NC) — Archbishop
Gerald P. O’Hara, Bishop of Sa
vannah-Atlanta, was given a cor
dial reception at Northold Airport
here on his arrival from Dublin,
Iceland, to take up his new post
as Apostolic Delegate to Great
Britain.
Among those greeting the for
mer Papal Nuncio to Ireland
were His Eminence Bernard Car
dinal Griffin, Archbishop of
Westminster; Archbishop William
Godfrey of Liverpool, Archbishop
O’Hara’s predecessor as Apostolic
Delegate; and Archbishop Francis
Grimshaw of Birmingham.
Others present as the Delegate
greeted Cardinal Griffin with the
kiss of peace were Msgr. David
Cashman, secretary of the Apos
tolic Delegate; Miss P. T. Met
calfe, of the British Foreign Of
fice; and F. H. Boland, Irish Am
bassador to London.
“I am happy to came to this
country where my father was
born (at Blyth, Northumberland)
and where he spent many happy
years,” Archbishop O’Hara said.
“7 have often visited England,
where I have many friends for
many years now among the cler
gy and laity. I bring the blessing
of the Holy Father to the Catho
lics of Great Britain, especially to
the Hierarchy.”
the Universe, British Catholic
weekly, Archbishop O’Hara said
that when he received his new
appointment, he was surprised to
learn that it covered not only
Great Britain but also Malta, Gi
braltar and Bermuda. “It looks
as if I shall be travelling around
a great deal,” he commented.
The American prelate recalled
that he met his first English
family 35 years ago while a
seminarian in Spain on his way to
Rome to study theology. He and
five other students, he said, were
taken ill with influenza during
the 1918 epidemic and could not
get into a hospital. However, the
family, consisting of a convert,
his wife and their eight children
took them into their home and
themselves moved downstairs so
that the sick students could have
the bedroom.
“With one exception,” Arch
bishop O’Hara stated, “we recov
ered. How could anyone forget
such an example of heroic char
ity to complete strangers? I am
thinking much of the couple now
that I am in England.”
A considerate doctor is one who
never mails his bills until his
patients are well enough to re
ceive them.—O. A. Battista, “Life
In a subsequent interview with | In Quotable Form.”
ATLANTA, Ga.—The chapel of
Our Lady of Visitation, in the
newly established Monastery of
the Contemplative Order of Vis
itation Nuns, was dedicated by
His Excellency Bishop Francis E
Hyland, Auxiliary Bishop, Sun
day, August 15th.
It is interesting to note that the
superior of this newest Visitation
Monasery, Mother Francis de
Sales Cassidy, is a native of Ma
con.
Visitation Nuns are strictly
cloistered. The Papal cloister,
however, did not go into effect
until last Sunday evening.
On August 13 and 14, open
house days were observed at the
monastery. All Catholics of the
Atlanta area were invited to visit
the monastery on one of these
days to make the acquaintance
of the Nuns and learn of the
various works by which they
support themselves.
The Nuns will offer prayers,
sacrifice and good works for the
welfare of the diocese. They sup
port themselves mainly by mak
ing altar breads and altar linens.
The Visitation Nuns are mem
bers of an order founded more
than 350 years ago by St. Francis
de Sales, who was at the time
bishop of Geneva, and by St. Jane
Frances Fremiot de Chantal.
The Georgia Monastery is the
21st' house of the order establish
ed in this country. It is a branch
of one at Toledo, Ohio, which
was established in 1915 by the
nuns of the Georgetown Visita
tion Convent of Washington, D. C.
