Three Students Merit
Scholarship Semi-Finalists
Two seniors from Mt. de
Sales, Macon and one from St.
Vincent’s Academy, Savannah,
have been named semifinalists
in the 1963-64 Merit Scholar
ship competition.
The students cited for their
high achievement are Paula
Anne Jones and Philip Wood-
hall of Mt. de Sales and Lea
Walsh of St. Vincent’s.
Miss Jones is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Francis D.
Jones of 1065 South Pine Knoll
Drive, Macon, and is a senior.
She has been a member of Mt.
de Sales student council and is
a past president of the sopho
more class. She is a member
of the National Honor Society.
Mr. Woodhall, also a senior
at Mt. deSales is the son of
Dr. and Mrs. J. P. Woodhall
of 1801 Waverland Circle. A
member of the Boys’ Sodality,
he is 1963 prefect. He has
served as a committee chair
man of St. Joseph’s Catholic
Y outh Organization, and during
his freshman year was Student
Council representative from his
class.
Last year he was one of the
four state finalists of the
Voice of Democracy Contest,
in which more than 800 high
school students entered.
Lea Walsh, a senior at Sa
vannah’s St. Vincent's Aca
demy, is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh of
310 E. Gwinnett Street.
Lea is President of the
school’s Spanish Club, a mem
ber of the Science Seminar
and the St. Vincent’s Academy
Chorale. She serves on the staff
of The Flash, school paper and
is assistant copy editor of the
“Memory Book.”
They are among 13,000
seniors throughout the country
who attained semifinalist sta
tus. The Semifinalist group is
composed of the highest scor
ing students in each state and
in United States Territories.
Each Semifinalist now moves
a step closer to winning a
four-year Merit scholarship to
the college of his choice. Semi
finalists must substantiate their
qualifying test performance on a
second examination, be en
dorsed by their schools, and
fulfill certain routine require
ments to become finalists. All
Merit Scholars are selected
from the Finalist group.
“The future leaders of our
nation will be found among young
people who have the qualities
and aspirations represented by
these Semifinalists,” said John
M. Stalnaker, president of the
National Merit Scholarship
Corporation.
They are not only intellec
tually able, but characteristi
cally they are also ambitious,
energetic, and resourceful. In
honoring them, we pay credit,
too, to t^e families, teachers,
and communities which have
aided them in their efforts to
succeed.
“Their achievements are a
product of their own ability, the
extent to which adults have per
sonally encouraged their intel
lectual development, and the
level of support their communi
ties have given to local educa
tional and cultural institutions
and programs.”
To increase their oppor
tunities to obtain financial as
sistance if they need it, the
Merit Corporation sends the
names of Semifinalists to all
accredited colleges and univer
sities and to other scholarship
granting agencies and financial
aid sources. Studies show that
about 50 per cent of the Semi
finalists obtain financial aid
from sources other than the
Merit Program.
In past years, about 97 per
cent of the Semifinalists have
become Finalists. All Finalists
receive a Certificate of Merit
in recognition of their outstan
ding performance in the pro
gram. As Finalists, the students
will be eligible for scholar
ship awards sponsored by NMSC
and about 175 business corpo
rations, foundations, colleges,
unions, trusts, professional as
sociations, and individuals.
In this last phase of the com
petition, the high school grades,
creative accomplish
ments, leadership qualities, ex
tracurricular activities, and
school citizenship of the stu
dents will be evaluated along
with their scores on the tests.
About April 23, 1964, the
names of the Merit Scholars
will be announced, the exact
number depending on the extent
of sponsor support of the Merit
Program. In 1963 NMSC and
sponsors together awarded
about 1,500 Merit Scholarships.
Each Merit Scholarship is
a four-year award to cover the
undergraduate college years.
The recipient’s stipend is tail
ored to his need.
Awards may reach a maxi
LEA WALSH, senior at St. Vincent’s Academy, Savannah,
received semifinalist papers in National Merit Scholarship
competition from Sister M. Fidelis, R.S.M., principal.
LOOKING AHEAD to bigger things are Philip Woodhall and
Paula Jones, both seniors at Mount de Sales, Macon. They
are now rated as Semi-finalists in National Merit Scholar
ship competition.
mum of $6,000 for four years
of college. For students who al
ready possess financial resour
ces which will enable them to
attend the college of their
choice, the awards are $400
for the four years. Stipends now
average about $850 a year.
A Merit Scholarship is also
a form of * ‘educational insur
ance” for the student who re
ceives it, because the amount of
the stipend will be increased at
any time if there is a signi
ficant change in college cost or
in his family’s financial situa
tion.
Finalists designate the col
lege they wish to attend and
the course of study they plan
to pursue. The colleges chosen
by the Merit Scholars in most
instances also receive supple
mentary grants.
NMSC and sponsors have thus
far contributed about $17 mil
lion in direct financial assis
tance to Merit Scholars and
their colleges. This amount is
exclusive of obligations to the
4,000 Merit Scholar s now in col
lege.
The Merit Program was es
tablished in 1955 with grants
from the Ford Foundation and
the Carnegie Corporation of
New York. In 1962, the Ford
Foundation announced an addi
tional grant to continue the pro
gram through 1970.
Nearly 7,500 Merit Scholars
have been appointed to date
In addition, through the pro
gram’s special services, thou-
snads of other outstanding par
ticipants have been helped in
obtaining aid from other sour
ces, and colleges have been
assisted in their efforts to lo
cate the intellecutally able.

Doctors Urged To Lead
Call For Action On
“Floodtide Of Filth”
CHICAGO (NC)—The fight
against indecent literature,
though frustrating and thank
less, can be won, the convention
of Citizens for Decent Litera

Illinois state official.
Mobilization of community
effort rather than new legisla

Russian Says
Unity Work Of
Holy Ghost
ROME, (NC)—The Russian
Orthodox observer at the ecu
menical council has stated that
"the whole history .of Chris
tianity in our era is the his
tory of the action and the work
ing of the Holy Ghost on us
and on our churches, calling
us to unity.”
Archpriest Vitaly Borovoi,
vice chairman of the Division
of External Church Affairs of
the Orthodox Moscow Patriar
chate, made the statement
during a reception given for ob
servers by the Secretariat for
Promoting Christian Unity (Oct.
19). The text of his remarks
was not released until three
days later (Oct. 22).
Archpriest Borovoi said that
all Christian churches are en
gaged at present in the move
ment which has already passed
into history under the conven
tional and not very precise
name of ecumenism. This name
he said, does not completely
render the whole depth of this
process and does not encompass
it completely. Nevertheless, he
went on, the name has become
a historical symbol of our con
temporary pan-Christian rea
lity.
citizenry demands enforcement
of the law.”
Howlett said the rise in smut
is only part of a moral deter
ioration which also includes a
narcotics traffic, illegitimacy,
looser attitudes toward abor
tion and pre-marital sex and ju
venile delinquency.
‘ ‘If we are to be in shape to
contend with forces that may
attack us from the outside, we
must first overcome the evils
among us which are softening
us and corrupting us,” said
Howlett.
“The communists are a dan
ger to us. But there is a great
er danger that is much closer—
the moral decay that is afflicting
our society here and now.”
Charles H. Keating, Jr.,
Cincinnati attorney who founded
the Citizens for Decent Litera
ture, in the keynote speech said
the laws to combat obscenity
should be applied vigorously
and immediately.
"Who can any longer doubt
that there is a floodtide of
filth engulfing this nation and
its people?” Keating asked.
"Who can any longer avoid the
inescapable conclusion that
there is a job to be done and
that job is t o control obsceni
ty. There are laws to effect
this goal. They should be ap
plied vigorously and they should
be applied now.”
Dr. Donald G. Cortum of Los
Angeles, a panel speaker, of
fered medical opinion on the
far-reaching effects of smut
peddling. He said "the vast
majority of physicians feel that
this obscentiy, this sub-litera
ture leads to anti-social con
duct.”
"The relentless commer
cialism of brutality, violence
and sadism,” he declared, "the
exploitation of our youth for a
buck by mass media is result
ing in a distortion of natural
attitudes in the direction of
cynicism, greed, hostility, cal
lousness and insensitivity.”
He declared the "solemn du
ty” of the medical profession
is: "to promote scientific re
search to support law enforce
ment in the courts of a cau
sal relationship between obs
cenity and anti-social beha
vior”; and "to provide the lead
ership in the community to help
parents educate their chil
dren in sex education, improve
reading habits and community
recreational programs.”

CONCERNING CHAPELS
From medieval times, the Gothic church tower has risen to
Heaven, symbolizing the prayers rising to a transcendent God.
When he was Archbishop of Milan, the present Pope, Paul VI,
gave a new direction to church building. He encouraged con
tractors to construct chapels in new housing projects, sym
bolizing as it were Christ at the heart of home life, radiating
grace. Through the 18 Near and Middle East countries entrust
ed to our care by the Holy Father, many chapels have been
built by your generosity. Perhaps someone would like to build
