"Made In Macon’’ Veils
Go To Foreign Missions
Such far away places as In
dia, Ceylon, British Guiana and
Guatamala have received chap
el veils and leper bandages from
Macon.
This most interesting and
heart-warming project came to
light at the September meeting
of the St. Joseph Parish Coun
cil of Catholic Women in con
nection with Foreign Relief re
ports. It seems that two ladies,
Mrs. Mary Beth Zaenglein and
Mrs. Mary Winn, have been
very quietly engaged in the
knitting of leper bandages and
the making of chapel veils for
use in foreign missions.
The leper bandages were first
sent to the Sisters in Mahiaca,
Bri L ish Guiana South America,
but could not be used there be
cause dressings at that particu
lar institution are supplied by
the government. However, the
Sisters asked instead for bean
ies for the Indian children who
are too poor to have hats of any
kind. Hence, work was begun
by Mrs. Zaenglein and Mrs.
Winn on chapel veils.
First Home & School
Assort Meeting Of Year
Three hundred fifty parents
attended the first Home and
School Association meeting of
St. Mary’s on the Hill School.
After the meeting a covered
dish supper was given by the
Hospitality Committee whose
chairman is Mrs. Jack Mark-
waiter.
The kindergarten won t h e
grade count.
In the absence of club presi
dent Mrs. Louis Mulherin, Jr.,
the meeting was conducted by
the vice president, Mrs. Floyd
Gambill.
Other officers are Mrs. Eu
gene Holley, secretary, and
Mrs. Elizabeth Horton, treasur
er. Mrs. Gambill announced the
standing committee chairmen
as: Mrs. Charles O’Connor, ath
letics; Mr. Charles Bellman
Cub Scouts; Mrs. Frank Trout
man, civic and community co
operation; Mrs. Joseph Heffer-
nan, Girl Scouts; Mrs. Thomas
Kelleher, grade mothers; Mrs.
Jack Markwalter, hospitality;
Mrs. Van Renick, program;
Mrs. Raymond Loyal Jr., publi
city; Mrs. Denny Leonard and
Mrs’. J. V. Casey, ways and
means; Mrs. George Champion,
yard duty.
Sister Mary Gerald, principal,
welcomed all parents and intro
duced the faculty as Miss Bar
bara Pitts, kindergarten; Sister
Kathleen Kevin and Mrs. Elsa
Jones, first grade; Sister Mary
Paulita and Mrs. Jane Eubanks,
second Sister Mary Terence
and Mrs. Mary Chavous, third;
Sister Mary Thomas and Mrs.
Nancy Foley, fourth; Sister lie-
lores Marie and Mrs. Beverly
Guthrie, fifth; Sister Teresa
Paul, Mrs. Carolyn Benning and
Mrs. Nell Jones, sixth; Sister
Margaret Eugenia, seventh; Sis
ter Mary Gerald, eighth.
Sister Mary Gerald requested
that any mothers wishing to
volunteer for occasional yard
duty during the coming year
contact the school office or Mrs.
Champion.
Meanwhile, the bandages in a
round-about way, after some
correspondence and investiga
tion, reached a most grateful
Sister of Mercy at the Nazareth
Convent in Patna District. In
dia. The recipient of the band
ages turned out to be the sister
of a former St. Joseph parish
ioner, and her words of grati
tude are most moving.
The ladies have since taken
advantage of bargains in nylon
lacy net with lace edging and
from this have made and sent
20 chapel veils to St. Agnes Col
lege in Baltimore to encourage
visits to the Blessed Sacrament.
55 to Maryknoll in New Orleans.
33 to the Jesuits in New Or
leans, and 260 were donated to
Mt. de Sales for the May Festi
val.
In June a letter was received
from Maryknoll telling of how
a village in Guatamala used the
veils for outfitting a First Com
munion class.
In August, upon learning of
how' a priest of the Jesuit Pro
vince of Ceylon had begun in
desperation to pass out his pre
cious finger towels from his
vestment cabinet to the women
of his parish who were coming
to church with uncovered heads,
Mrs. Zaenglein and Mrs. Winn
promptly made five dozen chap
el veils and sent them to him.

Democrats In Ohio
Pledge Enactment
Of "Fair Bus" Law
COLUMBUS, Ohio (NC) — A
pledge to enact ‘‘fair bus” leg
islation for “all school chil
dren” in Ohio was adopted by
the Democratic party state con
vention here.
A week earlier the Republican
state convention, which also
met here, remained silent on
the issue.
Delegates to the Democratic
convention placed a plank in the
party platform which promised
“legislation which will assure to
all school children the benefits
of school transportation.”
The action was taken after
three statewide organizations—
the AFL-CIO Citizens for Edu
cational Freedom and the Ohio
Catholic Welfare Conference —
advocated inclusion of a “fair
bus” plank. Representatives of
the three organizations had
made similar recommendations
at the Republican convention.
The Democrats’ “fair bus”
plank reads: “We pledge enact
ment of legislation which will
assure to all school children the
benefits of school transportation

lected to be given at the next

which are authorized under the
laws of our nation, under i
Constitution of the United
es and under the Constitution of
the State of Ohio.”
In 1963 Ohio Atty. Gen. Wil
liam Saxbe in a formal opinion
declared it is currently illegal
for a local school board to pro
vide bus transportation for non
public school students, but add
ed that legislation could make
such service either permissible
or mandatory.
In the same ruling Saxbe said
public-supported bus transporta
tion of non-public school stu
dents, although currently illegal,
is constitutional.
“I am constrained to note
that the U.S. Supreme Court in
Everson vs. Board of Education
(1947) has already determined
that activity such as here in
volved is an exercise of public
welfare powers for the benefits
of the children concerned and
does not violate the first or
fourteenth amendments of the
Constitution of the United Stat
es,” Saxbe stated.
Proponents of “fair bus” leg
islation, at platform committee
sessions, cited a number of rea
sons why such action by the
Ohio General Assembly is de
sirable.
Paul Mecklenborg of Circin-
nati, Ohio president of CEF,
said “as things stand now, lo
cal boards are either denying
this essential service to non
public school children” or they
provide the service and thus
“ignore the Attorney General’s
ruling.”
“CEF feels that neither of
these approaches is satisfactory ”
Mecklenborg said. “It should be
one way or the other. And since
it would take an act of the Leg
islature to legalize the practice
in our opinion this is what
should be done.”
James Hollern, executive sec
retary for the organization of
the Catholic bishops of Ohio’s
six Sees, said no parent “who
exercises his constitutional
rights in sending the child to
an approved sc h o o 1 of hjs
choice” should have his chil
dren denied “health, welfare
and safety” services.
He specifically named bus
transportation as a service
which should be “made avail
able to all school children . . .
irrespective of the school they
attend.”
AFL - CIO spokesman Robert
Bollard recommended the 106th
Ohio General Assembly “give
favorable consideration in the
spirit of the American tradition
of fairness by enacting a fair
bus law which provides school
bus transportation to all chil
dren regardless of the school
which they attend.” He told
platform committee members
that some 20 states of the union
now furnish such transport^fon.
