Georgia GEORGIA RIVERS, Edited by George Hatcher, University of Georgia Press, 1962, 76 pp., u illustrations and maps, $3.00. Reviewed by E. Matthews. GEORGIA RIVERS, a delight ful study of Georgia history and Georgia geography, is the collection of a series of ar ticles from the Atlanta Jour nal and Constitution Maga zine. The history of the river areas is filled with Indian names, the influence of French Huguenots, troubles with Span ish Explorers, steamboats, log rafts, mills, and ferries all permeated with the smell of gun powder and fish, cotton and naval stores. Now that their work is being accomplished by rail and super highway, the rivers present a dreamy pic ture of lazy peace. But the U. S. Army Corp of Engineers is changing much of that with dams and locks and plans that have given the state acres of water reservoir and playground and one day will make Atlanta a seaport! William Hammock writes of the Savannah; Andrew Sparks, the Ogeechee; Willard Neal, the Altamaha; Karl Fleming, the St. Marys; Katherine Barn well, the Coosa and the Fling; k CYO Teams At Albany Boys’ and girls’ basketball teams from the Sacred Heart Catholic Church CYO defeated teams from the Albany CYO last Sunday afternoon at the lo cal youth center. The Sacred Heart girls won their game, 21-14, while the lo cal boys’ CYO beat the Albany team, 50-38. After the games, the groups had dinner, followed by a social at the church. Chaperones for the activities were Rev. William Aherne, Miss Denise Dwyer and sever al parents from the groups. The Albany group left around 9:30 to return to their home. and Ralph McGill, the Chatta hoochee. The frontspiece is a map of Georgia showing all the rivers, and each chapter has a more detailed map of the individual river, all by Bob Connell, Ken neth Rogers and Floyd Jillson illustrating the rivers and plac es of interest with 37 photo graphs which add greatly to the beauty and value of the volume. FRONTIERS IN AMERICAN CATHOLICISM, Walter J. Ong, S. J., Macmillan, 1961, $1.25, 125 pp. Reveiwed by Flannery O’Con nor. These six excellent essays, reissued here in paperback, are concerned with some of the cul tural and ideological problems which face American Catholi cism today. They are consider ed in the light of the American Catholic’s attitude toward Europe and his own history, his misconceptions about the medieval period, and his atti tude toward technology and. science. They seem to be ad dressed as much to Europeans as to Americans. Fr. Ong be lieves that if Catholic thought in this country is going to have any real contact with the Ameri can experience it needs to en vision “a real Christian mysti que of technology and science.” Ever since the bogus heresy of “Americanism”—ended by Leo XIII’s letter to Cardinal Gib bons—Americans have been loth to explore the meaning of America for Catholicism. Fr. Ong believes that our intellec tual contribution may be that of explaining the social sur face of life in the United States —sports, luncheon, clubs, opti mism, advertising, merchand ising, etc.—along the lines of phenomenological analysis. He sees signs that there are some American Catholic philoso phers who are becoming inter ested in phenomenology. These are fine essays and should not be missed now that they are available at this low price. J It’s Coming March 18th, 8:30 P.M.

The section has been endorsed by two priests in Miss Corey’s home town, the Rev. George Rados of the Terre Haute Or thodox Catholic Church and the Rt. Rev. Msgr. H. F. Winter halter, head of the Terre Haute Deanery of the Roman Catholic Church. Syrian Lenten dishes are pre pared without meat, eggs, milk, and cheese during all the fast ing days, but with vegetables and oil, giving foods an entire ly different flavor from those cooked in any other way. Aside from its nutritional qualities, oil is also a preservative, keep ing foods fresh for days with out spoiling. The housewife will find many fresh ideas for tasty Lenten meals in the pages of “The Art of Syrian Cookery.” For instance, as a change from the conventional macaroni and CASTROISM- (Continued from Page 4) lenge.” Without this new strate gy, he said, “we run the risk of Soviet imperialism extending its domination to all Latin America, and even to the United States.” Gonzalo Ortiz, former Costa Rican ambassador to the U. S. said that "if something is not done quickly, effectively and on a basis of Inter-American co operation among the peoples and governments of the hemis phere, I fear I must predict that within six years half of La tin America will be under Soviet domination.” "The promise of justice which should be made to Cuba and to all our peoples is that, once an end is put to political corruption and liberty is re stored, a vigorous program will be launched to provide efficient methods''of work and adequate compensation for this labor.” Dr. De Varona said “the Castro-communist threat is provoking in Latin America an alarming flight of capital and a considerable decrease in pri vate investments.” Ortiz said mass media in the U. S. give our people a wrong picture of Latin Americans. He said “our people want to work.” He added it is not enough to overthrow bad governments, but respect for human dignity must be established and “economic meaning” must be given to de mocracy "so that our peoples can rise above the misery in which they live.” The forum was sponsored by Reader’s Digest and was held at the National Press Club here. cheese, she might serve her family Spinach Pies (Fatayer sabanegh), which is made as fol lows: Lenten Pie Dough 2 Pounds Spinach Salt 3 Onions Chopped Fine Juice of 3 Lemons 1 Cup Ground Walnuts Pepper and Allspice to Taste 1 Cup Oil Wash spinach thoroughly and cut into small pieces.

Make Criticism Fair, Bishop Says TOLEDO, Ohio, (NC)— Americans can improve their image in the world by avoiding reckless criticism of govern ment leaders, said Bishop George J. Rehring of Toledo at the annual meeting of the medical staff and advisory board of St. Vincent Hospital. When government leaders face "tremendous” interna tional and national problems, criticism should be construc tive and well grounded, said the Bishop. William T. Utley, politican scientist at the University of Omaha, told the gathering: * ‘ For all our alleged bungling, we have succeeded in bringing about a sufficient equilibrium and stalemate in the power struggle—a nuclear balance of fear. We have done a fairly good job of holding in check a relative stalemate as far as Soviet aggression is concern ed.’ Augusta Area ^\j Housekeeper Wanted At St. Mary’s Rectory to live in, supervise Rectory and answer door and phone.

URBAN RENEWAL OFFICIAL DENIES POAU CHARGES OF UNFAIR CATHOLIC PLANS WASHINGTON, — A Federal official says a group active in disputes over alleged Church- State issues is guilty of un warranted charges about Cath olic involvement in urban re newal. Urban Renewal Commission er William L. Slayton said the group is Protestants and Other Americans United for Separa tion of Church and State, a Washington-based organiza tion self-described as de fender of total Church-State separation. In a letter to Glenn L. Arch er, executive director of POAU, Slayton said the or ganization has made charges Cites Value f Of Youth Program WASHINGTON, (NC)—The administration’s youth employ ment bill would be of particular benefit to boys who drop out of high school, the secretary of the National Conference of Ca tholic Charities told a Senate subcommittee. Msgr. Raymond J. Gallagher said that under the Youth Em ployment Act of 1963 such young men would be able to continue the basic learning process in terrupted when they left school. He testified (Feb. 28) before the Senate subcommittee on em ployment and manpower. The $100 million youth em ployment program seeks to es tablish a 15,000 member Youth Conservation Corps to work in 1 the countryside and a Home Town Youth Employment Corps of 50,000 for the towns and cities. “It is my conviction,” Msgr. Gallagher told the subcom mittee, that the provisions of this program far from pro posing to turn out highly skill ed technicians, will nonetheless turn out young men possessing many basic skills. When the participants in this program have completed their tour of duty, it is conceivable that they will have enough know ledge of and respect for tools, and what they could accom plish, to be readily em ployable.” Msgr. Gallagher said it is his understanding that the pro gram "will provide opportun ity for a training, supervision and living regimen that will in clude adequate opportunity to practice the specific religious observances.” "These three ingredients seem to me,” he added, “to be essential to character build ing within our young people under all circumstances of their life.” He said the “most signifi cant contribution” of the pro gram lies in "the fact that these young men will learn to know the dignity and the no bility of labor.” “They will learn to know the sense of satisfaction that comes from earning one’s own way,” Msgr. Gallagher said. “They will learn that it is prefera ble to align themselves with discipline and orderliness, by choice, rather than by reluc tant capitulation.” of special treatment for Cath olic churches and schools in its monthly magazine, * 'Church and State,” and in a pamphlet, “Urban Take-Over.” Expressing “concern” over these accusations, Slayton said they are "unwarranted on the basis of ascertainable facts” and may lead to misunderstand ing of Federally assisted renewal efforts. Slayton said “particularly disturbing” are POAU charges that “through urban renewal Roman Catholic churches ob tain land at much less than other developers and less than its real value; the urban re newal program benefits the Ro man Catholic Church at the expense of other religious lay groups; and Roman Catholic churches receive preferential treatment from urban renewal officials and agencies.” “We have never discrimin ated against any group in favor of any other group, and, to the best of our knowledge, neither have local agencies pur suing urban renewal ob jectives,” Slayton said. He notes that POAU charg es of unfairness in the par ticipation of Fordham Univer sity, New York, and St. Louis (Mo.) University in urban re newal projects have been through courts. “As you know, the cities involved andtheFed- eral government were upheld in every case concerning sell ing of urban renewal land to these two schools/’ he said. Slayton also noted that many schools and churches have ben efited from urban renewal ac tivities in their cities. He cites Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist and other denominations. Slayton’s letter has been dis tributed across the country to local public agencies engaged in urban renewal. They were told it was made available to answer inquiries about POAU charges. Mississippi Scored On Rights Stand WASHINGTON, (NC)—A re port on Negroes and civil rights in Mississippi was described in the House of Representatives as a “shocking report of brutali ties and terror of Nazi regime type.” The description was made by Rep. Charles C. Diggs, Jr., of Michigan in a statement call ing the attention to a “Report on Mississippi” submitted to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. The report was prepared by a nine-member advisory com mittee, one of 51 such com mittees established in every state and the District of Co lumbia to advise the Civil Rights Commission. Among the mem bers of the Mississippi group is Father Robert C. Hunter, S.V.D., of Bay St. Louis, Miss., Provincial of the Society of the Divine Word’s southern pro vince. In the preface to the report, quoted by Diggs, the committee members, all Mississippians, say "the extent and the manner of apparent denials of equal protection of the Law on the basis of color . . . has been a profound shock to us.” The Southern Cross, March 9, 1963—PAGE 5 By BARBARA C. JENCKS THERE’S a week yet before St. Patrick’s Day is here but my Irish blood has been aroused and there's no postponing the things I must say. So, the United Nations has declared Ireland “an underdeveloped nation”, have they? Sean Lemass, Ire land’s Prime Minister, has re gistered his indignation and re sentment and let me register mine right here and now. Un derdeveloped where and how? Wouldn’t it be ironic if a team of our Peace Corps workers were to move into Ireland to put their patriotic talents to work? What would they do? Educate the Irish? Long before Harvard and Yale were even thought of the Irish had a monopoly on world culture. It was an Irish monk who taught the first Eng lishman to read and write. It is in the capital city of Ireland that the purest English in the world is spoken. What in the world could a Peace Corps teach the Irish? Unless it be how to succeed in business without even trying—to accent the tangibles rather than the intan gibles of life. How to build up industries which would place ugly buildings along the peace ful Irish ways and belch ugly smoke into the blue Irish skies, and, ah, there are no skies like Irish skies. THERE ARE those who truly believe that Ireland needs de veloping, that it needs to learn the know-how of getting ahead in a materialistic world where the dollar counts. It isn’t enough that she supplied the world with missionaries, that her own pop ulation diminished while she sent leaders of Church and state to every land under the sun!
