MACON, GEORGIA 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.

Mobilization of community effort rather than new legisla tion is the strongest weapon, said Michael J. Howlett, Illi nois State Auditor of Public Accounts.

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.” rME^^ Qtfoiitcut MOTOR HOTEL • TV Ml AIR CONDITIONING • FAMOUS MIAMI BUFFET • ICE Ml BEVERAGE STATIONS • COFFEE MAKER, EACH ROOM LUCKIE AT CONE ST.
