CHRISTMAS
MESSAGE
Dear Friends,
This Christinas, greeting to you
hrings sentiments of joy and
gratitude for the special bonds
of friendship we share through
the N. C. C. W.
From the smallest Mission
Sanctuary to the larger churches
in the cities, we shall meet to
celebrate the Birth of Our Infant
King at the very same Mass and
Sacred Banquet, with the same
song in our hearts, “Venite adore-
mus Dominum.”
As we receive Holy Commun
ion together, may we whisper an
extra prayer for each other, that
as we work together and pray
together for His Glory on earth,
we may one day praise Him to
gether in Heaven. When we gath
er at the Crib with our loved
ones, may we resolve to grow in
grace and goodwill, that we may
understand more fully the mes
sage of the Angels: “Glory to
God in the highest and on earth,
PEACE to men of GOOD WILL!”
To each of you, from all of your
friends in the Council, a very
happy Christmas and a New
Year filled with Christian joy!
Sincerely in Our Infant King
and His Holy Mother,
MARY CHAPPELL
(Mrs. L. N. Chappell, Jr.)
President, Atlanta Diocesan
Council of Catholic Women.

grams nor flights to the moon
look as manciful as they did a few
months ago.
It would be a mistake, so many
of our nuclear experts tell us,
to assume that because we could
retaliate, the Russians will not
start a nuclear war. Nikita Khru
shchev himself has pointed out
that nuclear weapons could
wreak far greater damage upon
the United States, with its heavy
concentration of population in
cities, than upon Russia whose
industrial centers are widely dis
tributed and whose population
lives largely in small towns or in
the country.
Khrushchev may decide nu
clear war would be a safe risk
for Russia. Should he start one,
our capacity to retaliate would
mean little if we have no way
of assuring the protection of our
people from blast and radioactive
fall-out.
