What Do You
Mean,
Chicken
No indeed, pennies aren’t chicken feed these days
- —not when you spend them tor electricity!
Then they’re the hardest working coins in your
family budget. For instance, the lowly penny will
run your radio for an entire evening, furnish you
four half-hour TV programs, vacuum six large
rugs, or toast 35 slices of bread.
For low-cost comfort and convenience in every
day living, you can’t beat electricity.

A Citizen Wherever IVe Serve
Play Huge Success
Another Milestone In
Theatre Guild History
DECATUR—The play is over
but the memory lingers on—and
pleasant memories they are in
deed. The St. Thomas More Thea
tre Guild’s “Jenny Kissed Me”
was a huge success in every way.
Sold out for its 3-performance run
at the Parish Social Hall in De
catur, in January, the smooth
transition from the standard pros
cenium-type show to the more in
timate “Round-theatre” type en
tertainment was enthusiastically
accepted by a warm-hearted, res
ponsive audience.
Whole pages could be written
about the wonderfully natural and
realistic interpretation of the ma
jor roles by Betty Foster, Jerry
Galligan, Rosemary O’Toole, Bill
Hickok and Arthur Staley. Sup
porting roles, superbly handled
by Celo Shook Mary Kreigh, Joan
Fowler, Cathie Wilkinson, Louella
Stockdale, Ed Maurer and Sally
Smith left nothing to be desired.
The Pacificator
Served Catholics
Of The South
(Continued from Page 1)
War,” or “The Pope and the Con
federate States,” Editors Walsh
and Blome left little room for
doubt that whatever came from
their clear and strong pens was
produced under the impact of a
powerful conviction that “Blessed
is the peacemaker.”
Aside from the editorials, very
considerable space in the first
three issues was occupied by “An
Address to the People of the Unit
ed States in Behalf of Peace,” by
a Catholic prelate (very probably
the Most Rev. Augustin Verot,
Bishop of the See of Savannah
from 1861 to 1870), and “Grant-
ley Manor,” a story by Lady
Georgiana Fullerton.
Poetry received some cogniz
ance in the columns of The Pacifi
cator. James Ryder Rundall’s
“Sunday Revery,” a p p e a r e d ,
probably for the first time, too,
in later issues.
For some of its operating reve
nue, The Pacificator, like present-
day newspapers, depended on ad
vertising. Space on page four, av
eraging about one and one-half
columns per issue, was occupied
by paid ads.
Under the impact of th e peace
which followed Appofnattox, the
newspaper’s circulation swiftly
dwindled. It tried courageously to
survive. Its strenuous efforts,
however, proved insufficient to
ward off its ultimate doom. On
July 20, 1865. Patrick Walsh, as
sole editor and proprietor (L. T.
Blome having withdrawn from
the company only a short time
before), announced:
“The suspension of The Pacifi
cator, the only Catholic journal
in the South, has been caused by.
circumstances arising mainly from
want of means to defray expenses
of publication.”
He appealed earnestly, widely,
and bravely to the Catholic cler
gy and laity, as well as to mem
bers of other denominations, to
rally V the support of the sus
pend-3 lewspaper with liberal
patronage, promising to resume
publication as soon as assistance
adequately materialized. His ap
peal, however, went largely un
heeded and the fate of The Pacifi
cator was sealed. It sank into the
history of American Catholic
journalism, where it has remain
ed an interpid and exemplary,
but almost forgotten chapter.
The entire show reflected the
fine showmanship and Broadway
technique of Director Eugene
Bergmann.
Following the closing perform
ance of the show, about 50 mem
bers of the Guild gathered at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
Chambers for a delicious Sunday
night supper and a thoroughly en
joyable evening.
Guild membership is. growing
rapidly—no special talent is re
quired and anyone interested in
joining should contact Mrs. James
Hickok at 1034 South Candler,

Bishop Tendered
Dinner By Atlanta
Serra Club
(Continued from Page 1)
disseminate an accurate notion of
the dignity and necessity of the
Catholic priesthood, and likewise
to call the faithful of the whole
world into a close union of pray
ers and pious exercises.
Father Kiernan, club chaplain
outlined the work that the club
had done during the past two
years which included days of re
collection, an 85% attendance at
bi-monthly meetings; vocation
movies in the schools; the Altar
boy programme; monthly com
munions by all members; semina
rian gatherings etc., his remarks
were closed by comparing our
new diocese to the bark of Peter
with His Excellency at the helm,
and a pledge on the part of mem
bers to the Bishop of constant co
operation, persistant devotion and
unqualified loyalty.
His Excellency, spoke on the
need of vocations outlining the
needs of the Diocese. The Bishop
gave an excellent picture of plans
for the new diocese and thanked
the club members for their co
operation and urged all to pray
that Almighty God would bless
their own families with a voca
tion to the priesthood or the sis
terhood.
Arrangements for the meeting
were handled by Mr. Felix De
Golian of De Golian Steel Co., and
Mr. William Q. Egan of the John
Sexton Co.
