NEWS NOTES

mg in his efforts to make us
welcome. President Eisenhower’s
talk was a classic; Henry Cabot
Lodge’s explanation of the Unit
ed Nation problems and his bouts
with communism was well and
simply told. The workshop on
International Relations had ex
cellent speakers but outstanding
was the Work Group on. War Re
lief. The reports were heart
breaking. Maybe we will be given
permission to tell you about this
workshop.
Altogether as Catholic women
we have much to do. Ours is a
wonderful Apostolate. To us the
church in America looks confi
dently and affectionately know
ing that in our hands her best
interests are not only secure but
assured of a worthy fulfillment.
We have a big job before us but
we can do it.
This is the challenge we
brought back from the 27th Con
vention of the N.C.C.W.
Rumor has it that the 28th Con
vention, God Willing, will be
held in Chicago in 1956. Please
start saving for it. We had 3,000
women in Boston; Chicago should
have 5.000 to 6,000.
