PAGE 6—The Southern Cross, July 22, 1965
(Rev. Herbert J. Wellroeier)
op
As we pass the mid-way point
of the summer vacation for stu
dents, it is of concern how all
that leisure time is being spent.

Some pupils are doing extra
credit courses or make-up stu
dies. Some have summer jobs.
But all teeners have an enormous
amount of free time to idle away.

tion of the delay or stay
beyond curfew?
Is the general attitude one
of constant belligerence,
refusal to obey, and con
tinual back-talk or sass?
Have you found knives,
guns, pipes or clubs in their
room or car? Perhaps,
found possessions you sus
pect were stolen, because
you know they weren’t
bought?
Are his constant compa
nions people whom you have
never met or whose family
you do not know? Have you
had remarks passes by
friends or neighbors about
his associates?
Have there been complaints
about your offspring’s be
havior from school aut
horities, the priest or the
police?
Are there evidences of phy
sical violences such as
bruises or scratches?
Experts have come up with a
list of tell-tale signs or early-
warning symptoms of trouble a-
head with incipient juvenile de
linquency. So that no parents
need be shocked by the ex
perience of viewing their child
through jail door bars unexpec
tedly, we furnish a questionnaire
that will be a tip-off of impend
ing conflict with law enforce
ment officers.
If the answer to more than one
of these is yes, you had better
be extremely wary, as it is prob
able and almost certain that real
grief will befall you soon.

Does your child play hookey
from school frequently?
Is the hair uncut or un
kempt, the clothing sloppy
and tight, exaggerating sex.
Are there frequent occa
sions when you smell liquor
on the breath or perhaps
over see narcotic needle
marks?
It has been said that a loving
parent finds it very difficult
to believe his or her child is
capable of genuine crime or
trouble-making. Too frequently
outlawed behavior is excused as
simply being high-spirited or
normal adolescent growing -up
and mild rebellion. Trees still
“grow as the twig is bent.’’
Recently a PTA researcher
conducted a survey. Intending to
ask parents “Do you know where
your child is right now?’’, in
64% of the homes, the child
answered and said they did not
know where the parents were!

Early Days Of Villa Marie Recalled
Do you know right now where
your child is? With whom? Doing
what?
On Saturday, July 17, the third
of Camp Villa Marie’s six pro
jected sessions came to a close.
This was the Religious Education
Session, whose purpose was to
instruct and train Catholic chil
dren from the rural sections
of Georgia where it is impos
sible to establish summer cat
echetical schools.
it is appropriate. The recreation
al features of the camp are very
beneficial; the children for the
most part come from points in
land, and the coast country with
its salt water, tides, and mar
shes are of intense interest to
them...But the chief benefit of
the camp is the religious at
mosphere in which the children
live for these weeks...”
At present the Camp is enjoying
a one-week recess, before soon
beginning the first of its three
recreation sessions.

Father William V. Coleman,
the director, associated with the
camp for many years both as
a seminarian and as a priest,
describes the overall picture of
the camp perfectly: “No ex
pense has been spared to make
Villa Marie the best equipped
and staffed camp in the South.”

Camp Villa Marie is the suc
cessor of an earlier camp, Mary-
field, established in 1936 under
the supervision of Bishop Gerald
P. O’Hara. The camp was lo
cated on the Vernon River near
Savannah, and was a combination
of the existing Benedictine Camp
and an adjoining site rented by
Bishop O’Hara for the purpose.
Its director was the Rev. Harold
J. Barr, rector of the Cathedral.
No less beneficial is the spir

cated on the Isle of Hope near
Savannah. From the standpoint
of supervision, an experienced
staff including a resident priest,

Sister M. Marcia, R.S.M. of Louisville, Ky., Sister Marie Jean,
S. C. of Westfield, New Jersey, and Sister Alice Therese, S.N.de N.
of Reading, Ohio, are attending classes at Mercer University in
Macon, during the six weeks summer National Science Foundation
Institute for Elementary Leadership Personnel. Recently the sisters,
along with Mrs. Clinton Fowler and Mrs. William Zaenglein of
Macon, made a trip to Ida Cason Gardens and the Little White
House.
Maryfield’s program then, like
Villa Marie’s now, was an in
telligent blend of wholesome rec
reation, Georgia-style, with pa
tient education in the Catholic
religion.
The August 22, 1936, edition
of The Bulletin describes it thus;
“The instruction the children
are receiving at the camp is
most important; they are being
taught the fundamentals of their
religion where it is evident that
this is needed, and are being
given advanced instruction where
Under the direction of Bishop
Thomas J. McDonough, the faci
lities of Villa Marie have them
selves undergone extensive re
novations. A completely re
vamped dining room, an immen
sely improved recreation hall,
a new infirmary and a new craft
lodge now embrace the more than
thirty acre campus. These —
added to a pleasant swimming
pool, a carefully engineered dock,
ball diamonds, basketball courts,
and acres of fresh, open space—
give the campers ample chance
and capability to enjoy themsel

As for hygiene, certainly of

of the past.
SPEAKING AT THE silver
jubilee convention of the Ca
tholic Hospital Association of the
United States and Canada, the
Most Rev. Gerald P. O’Hara,
Bishop of Savannah-Atlanta,
touched upon the hospital building
programs being launched in many
cities, counties, and states. He
called upon the nursing Sisters
to carry on the great works of
charity for which they have been
noted in the past.
operation for five years. This
year the Rev. Edward Dodwell is
the director. Counselors in
clude the Rev. Mr. John O’Shea
of Atlanta, the Rev. Mr. John
Toomey of Augusta, John Dowling
of Valdosta, Felix Donnelly of
Atlanta, John Castelot of Bridge
port, Conn., and John Sullivan
and John Ranitz of Savannah.
“The poor belong to us, be
cause they are God’s,” Bishop
O’Hara said. “Our great concern
should be to keep the love of
the poor, particularly in these
tragic days when the world is
getting the poor to believe that
the Church is not interested in
them, and is not greatly con
cerned about their physical wel
fare.”
OFFICERS OF the Female
Orphan Benevolent Society were
re-elected at the annual meeting
held at St. Mary’s Home They
include; Most Reverend Gerald
P. O’Hara, D.D., J.U.D., presi
dent; John W. Gleason, vice-
president; and the Rt. Rev. Mon
signor T. James McNamara, sec
retary and treasurer.
POSSIBLY some of those who
are much concerned over the
possible interference of the Va
tican in American politics were
consoled when they saw in a
recent issue of The Augusta Her
ald a headline which reads;
“Pope Resigns as South Carolina
Legislator.”
