Brunswick
Third Order Of Mary
Reception Of Novices
BRUNS WICK~The meeting
of the Third Order of Mary
was held in St. Francis Xavier
Church.
Father Andrew Walls, S.M.
Spiritual Advisor spoke brief

ful of their love and devotion
to the Blessed Virgin.

der. Mrs. Catherine Cox,
henceforth to be known in re
ligion as Sister Mary of the
Sacred Heart; Mrs. Braulia

are to live a life of purity as
a Tertiary of Mary.

ers were said for all sick and

Anderson New
Press Director
WASHINGTON, (NC)—Floyd
Anderson has been named di
rector of the Press Department
of the National Catholic Welfare
Conference and of theN.C.W.C.
News Service which it issues.
He is at present managing
editor of the Central Califor
nia Register, newspaper of the
Diocese of Monterey-Fresno in
California, and president of the
Catholic Press Association of
the United States.
Anderson will succeed Frank
A. Hall, who has announced
that he will retire shortly. Hall
has been director of the
N.C.W.C. Press Department for
more than 30 years, and next
March will round out 40 years
as a member of its staff.
Announcement of the new di
rector was made by Archbishop
Joseph T. McGucken of San
Francisco, episcopal chair
man of the N.C.W.C. Press
Department, through the
N.C.W.C. headquarters here.
Anderson will become only
the third director in the more
than four-decade history of the
Press Department. Justin Mc
Grath, an internationally known
U.S. journalist, organized the
department at the request of
the U. S. Bishops in March,
1920, and administered it un
til his death in May, 1931. Hall
succeded to the office in 1932.
The new director of the
Press Department is one of the
most prominent figures in the
Catholic press field. He has
edited Catholic papers in wide

ciation for more than 10 years.
He has been secretary, vice
president and president of the
C.P.A.
Last May, at its 53rd nation

C.P.A. gave Anderson its
highest annual award for out
standing contribution to the Ca

Tax-Paid Textbook Program
PROVIDENCE, R.I., (NC)—
Parents of private school pu
pils have set wheels in motion
to assist their children in mak
ing requests to borrow tax-
paid textbooks under the state’s
new law.
Rhode Island begins next Sep
tember to lend textbooks to par
ochial and other private school
pupils in three subjects; sci
ence, mathematics and modern
foreign languages.
The books are to be select
ed from a list approved by the
state department of public in
struction and made available to
local community which will split
the cost of the lending program
with the state agency.
Under the law, the textbooks
must be lent to the individual
child not to the private school.
The problem facing parents
is what books to be selected
by their children for next year’s
courses in the non-public
schools.
It appears that home-school
groups will attempt to act as
intermediaries between the
schools and the pupils.
The Providence diocesan
school board has issued no
instructions to Catholic schools
or to parents on how books are
to be secured or what books
are to be selected from a list
of more than 700 titles.
After the business meeting,
Father Edward Kelly, S.M. pas
tor of St. Joseph’s Church in
Waycross, gave a very inspiring
talk on devotion to the Blessed
Virgin, and reminded all the
members of the privilege they
had received by becoming mem
bers of this religious order.
Father made particular men
tion of the fact that he was
pleased that Mrs. Tolbert of
Waycross had become a novice
in the Third Order and hoped
that she would be an inspira
tion to many more parishion
ers from Waycross.
Benediction of the Most Bles
sed Sacrament followed the
close of the meeting with Fa
ther Walls the celebrant and
John and Michael Lloyd acoly
tes.
The next meeting of the Third
Order will be held in August.
Montini Is
U. S. Citizen
WASHINGTON, (NC) —
Veterans around the head
quarters building of the Na
tional Catholic Welfare Con
ference still recall a re
markable coincidence in
volving His Holiness Pope
Paul VI.
It happened on August 28,
1951, when Pope Paul—then
Msgr. Giovanni B. Montini,
Papal Substitute Secretary
of State—visited the NCWC
headquarters during a U. S.
tour.
Msgr. Montini was being
shown around the NCWC
Immigration Department. At
random his guide picked out
of the department’s files two
cards containing immigrant
followup reports.
The files contained 50,000
such cards. One of the two
chosen related to a young
boy who had come to the Uni
ted States in 1926. The boy's
name: Giovanni Montini.

Race Status Quo
“Relic Of Past”
BATON ROUGE, La., (NC)—
Bishop Robert E. Tracy has
called on Catholics here to make
the “status quo” on the racial
question “a relic of the past.”
The question of racial justice
the Bishop of Baton Rouge said,
“touches upon the rights of per
sons and therefore on moral
ity and religion which guaran
tee such rights.”
In a pastoral letter the Bish
op said that “at the heart of the
whole matter of racial adjust
ment that our community is
facing is the unreasonable and
unrelaistic attitude of some ele
ments who desperately desire to
maintain a ‘status quo’ which
everyone knows simply cannot
be maintained.”
“Such extremists,” he add
ed, * ‘would give ground to im
proved civil rights for Negroes
only after the ugliest possible
fight.”
Bishop Tracy cautioned, how
ever, that “we cannot expect
to extinguish instantaneously
powerful emotions or cast into
oblivion, by a word, traditions
of long standing.
“Everyone recognizes this—
the courts, the defender of the
Negro, even the Negro himself.
But this should offer no bar to
the steady, progressive march
to full justice.
“Let us make of the old‘sta
tus quo' a relic of the past and
move forward as rapidly as pos
sible in harmony, understand
ing and peace to the progres
sive recognition and achieve
ment of all human, civil and
Christian rights for all men
until the job is done.”
Baton Rouge in the past
WASHINGTON, (NC) — Or
ganization work for the Pitts
burgh Byzantine Rite Diocesan
Council of Catholic Women is
now underway, it was announc
ed here by the National Council
of Catholic Women, with which
the diocesan group will affil
iate.
The work was launched with
the approval of Bishop Nicho
las T. Elko of the Pittsburgh
Byzantine Rite diocese. He ap
pointed Father Edward V. Ro-
sack, member of the Byzantine
Rite Seminary, to serve as mod
erator of the new council. For
mal organization of the council
will be completed during the
summer.
The Pittsburgh Byzantine
Rite diocese includes all By
zantine Rite Catholics of Rus
sian, Hungarian and Croa
tian nationalities in the U.S.
A recent survey disclosed 312,-
793 members of the diocese in
15 states and the District of
Columbia. The NCCW is a fed
eration of Catholic women’s or
ganizations with a total mem
bership of 10 million.
two years has been the scene
of demonstrations by Negroes
seeking desegregation of lunch
counters and equal job oppor
tunities.
The Bishop noted that the for
mal position of the diocese on
the matter of racial justice is
that set forth in the statement
of the Bishops of the United
States in 1958. The core of that
statement, he said, was contain
ed in these words:
“Discrimination based on the
accidental fact of race or color,
and as such injurious to human
rights regardless of personal
qualities or achievements can
not be reconciled with the truth
that God has created all men
with equal rights and equal
dignity.”
The Bishop called on Catho
lics to make “this most ser
ious social problem a matter
of earnest prayer—that we may
come more and more to know
the charity of Christ which will
impel us to cheerfully play the
role of Good Samaritan to our
wounded and neglected Negro
brethren.”
Perry Mason
On New Case
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., (NC)—
Television’s Perry Mason, who
wins legal battles with mono
tonous regularity, has taken on
a new case—this one far from
the courtroom. The betting is
that he’ll win this one, too.
TV’s legal eagle, who’s real
name is Raymond William Stacy
Burr, is helping to build a new
Catholic church in Gregorytown
on Eleuthera Island in the Ba
hamas.
When he can get away from
work before movie and TV cam
eras, Burr regularly visits
Harbour Island in the Bahamas
to rest. One of his buddies there
is Father John H. McGoey, a
member of Canada’s Scarboro
Foreign Mission Society, author
of “Nor Scrip Nor Shoes” and
other books.
Father McGoey got around to
telling the actor something of
his troubles. The Canadian mis-
sioner related that the parish
ioners in Gregorytown—where
the church, naturally, is named
for St. Gregory—for a number
of years had been asking for a
new church. They complained
the present one was on the verge
of collapse.
Fathe r McGoey put them off
while churches were built for
other new missions. They were
patient—then actor Burr took
a hand. He came up with the
first $5,000 for erection of the
new church and interested some
of his friends in the venture.
The building has been start
ed, is scheduled to be complet
ed if possible, in the fall.
To Form
Eastern Rite
Women’s Council
REV. HERBERT J. WELLMEIER
The greatest legacy the late
beloved Pope John XXIII was,
perhaps his re-emphasis on the
gospel precept of love and bro
therhood. His own enormous
capacity for kindness and char
ity was evident from the way
he broke down ancient barriers
to harmony, trancending dif
ferences of race and creed.
He extended the warm em
brace of fraternity to those
not of the Catholic faith, those
not of the white race, those
not of Christian or western
philosophy and culture He rais
ed to the College of Cardinals
an African of the black race
and a Japense Bishop, member
of the yellow race. He address
ed himself to atheistic Com
munists in an encyclical. He
cordially invited Protestants
and Jews to papal audiences and
the ecumenical council.
All this prelude and recount
ing of Pope John’s heroic feats
are by way of encouraging our
own continuing imitation of the
bigness of his heart. If we
fail to include a single creature
in our love, we have failed
Christ and failed the example
of His Vicar. It should be un
necessary to inject a reminder
of the parable of the Good
Samaritan as Jesus’ demon
stration of the universality of
Christ-like charity. If we ex
clude from our social group a
fellow teenager who happens to
be dull, a bore, an egghead
or has some other unattractive
or downright repulsive quality,
then just in that measure we
have limited our potential
growth in both grace and per
sonality. In other words, we
harm ourselves as much as the
other person when we fail in
charity. The most popular and
well-loved person is he who
is gregarious and congenial with
all, who overlooks differences
in others. A sincere concern
and interest in the sons of
Adam who are not of our color
or religious conviction is de
manded by Christ, no question.
And our religious or race
prejudices will be judged harsh
ly by Christ.
“If our youth are “Our proud
heritage” and "fond hope of the
future,” we have a right to ex
pect them to fulfill their res
ponsibility of a rightly formed
conscience and self-disciplined
will. This will enable them to
accomplish the goals set down
in the gospels and faithfully
lived by our good Holy Father,
Pope John.
Our plea to readers of this
column are earnest daily pray
ers for our new Pontiff, Pope
