ROME (NC)—An amend
ment which the ecumenical
council has approved for the
schema on Christian education
provides that government
should pay subsidies to
parents so they can be free
in their choice of school for
their children.
Although it was reported
that the council had voted in
favor of state aid to parochial
schools, Msgr. Mark J. Hur
ley, vice chancellor of the San
Francisco archdiocese, told
newsmen at the (Oct. 14)
American press panel that the
amendment, passed by a vote

Msgr. Hurley read a trans

of the amendment:
“The government, tfhich
has the obligation to project
and defend the right of its;
citizens, must see to it in
its concern for distributive
justice that public subsidies
are paid out in such a way that
parents are truly able to be
free in their choice of a school
for their children.”

Blessed
Sacrament
CCD Board
The monthly meeting of the
Blessed Sacrament Home &
School Association was held
Thursday, October 14th, at
8:00 P.M. in the school au
ditorium.
Mrs. J. C. Mathews, Pre
sident, conducted the business
meeting.
Monsignor Andrew Mc
Donald introduced the follow
ing Executive Board members
of the BlessedSacramentCon-
fraternity of Christian Doc
trine: Mrs. Walter Muller,
President, Mr. Miller Horne,
Vice - President, Mr. Ned
Trigg, Chairman of Teachers
Division, Mr. John Lyons and
Mr. Buddy Matthews, Co-
chairman of the Fisher Divi
sion, Dr. Fret Crider, Chair
man of Discussion Clubs,
Mrs. Harry Haslam, Helpers
Division. These members
in turn informed the group on
the meaning of the Confra
ternity.
The President explained
that the CCD is not-nor has
it ever been a substitute for
the Catholic School system in
this country. It was not found
ed to take care of any over
flow from Catholic Schools.
Rather, it was founded for
the Christianization of so
ciety in all its parts - the
total apostolate. It is a pro
gram of religious education
and the application of the
teachings of Christ in bread
th and depth, to life in every
form and type of community.
This includes the home, the
school, the Church and civil
society.
Dear Father Coleman:
I am afraid that you are
operating under a misappre
hension in your comments on
“tourism”. We are certain
ly not putting all our eggs in
one basket. What we are try
ing to do is to bring sufficient
money into Savannah so that
every Savannahian can earn a
living. Let me review some
of the efforts that have gone
into the development of our
economy in the present, and
is scheduled for the future.
As far as industry is con
cerned, we have:
1. The only industrial dis
tricts in the State of Georgia.
In these tax sheltered enclav
es business has more oppor
tunity to grow and be free from
threat of municipal taxes than
any place else in the State.
2. We have spent over the
past ten years in excess of
$150,000.00 a year financing
the District Authority. Most
of this has come from a hous
ing project we transferred to
this agency to finance its ef
forts. This agency has made
numerous trips and solicited
business on a nationwide
scale.
3. The District Authority
through revenue bonds, finan
ced an 8 1/2 million dollar
Flintkote plant recently con
structed, and built a new Sea
board - Coast Line railroad
station. The Lewis Welding
Company has been housed and
brought to Savannah, and the
National Wire Company’s
building has been expanded at
Rt. Rev. Msgr. James E.
King, pastor of St. Anthony’s
Church, Atlanta, died Tues
day following an extended ill
ness.
Rosary was recited for
Monsignor last night, with the
Office of the Dead scheduled
at St. Anthony’s Church this
evening.
Solemn Requiem will be of
fered tomorrow ( Friday )
morning at St. Anthony’s Ch
urch with Rt. Rev. Msgr. Jos-
esph G. Cassidy, P. A. V. G.
celebrant.
Pallbearers will be priests
who have served at St. An
thony’ s. The body will be es
corted by members of At
lanta’s B. P. O. Lodge #78
of the Fraternal Order of
Elks. Msgr. served as Grand
Chaplain of the Elks for three
terms.
A native of Troy N. Y.
Msgr. King was ordanined in
WASHINGTON (NC)—Pope
Paul VI has made the follow
ing provisions and ap
pointments:
His Holiness has estab
lished the new ecclesiastical
Province of Washington, with
the Prelature Nullius of the
Virgin Islands as suffragan
to the archdiocese of Wash
ington, and the Most Rev. Pa
trick A. O’Boyle as metro
politan archbishop.
The Holy Father has acced
ed to the request of the Most
Rev. Henry J. Gimmelsman
that he be permitted to re
sign the position of bishop
Port Wentworth. Additionally,
a shell building is expected
soon to rise on Highway 21
in which it is hoped to induce
some business to locate. The
utility in such a building is that
a business which is unable to
give ah assurance of a long
lease can use it and put our
people to work.
4. We have over the years,
spent millions of dollars de
veloping the Industrial and De-
mestic Water Supply System.
This enables us to provide
water so essential at reason
able rates to present and pros
pective industries. In this,
Savannah has a great advan
tage as you are aware from
reading of the drought which
hit the Northeast this sum
mer.
5. We have, through the
Airport Commission, laid out
an industrial park at Travis
Field and that agency has spent
a great deal of time and ef
fort soliciting industry.
6. Through the District
Authority land has been ac
quired and leased to indus
tries; for example, the land
on which the Union Bag-camp
Paper Corporation is situated.
7. This community has
spent some $10,000,000 in re
cent years for its public school
system. It is not possible
any longer to attract indus
try without a decent school
system. Neither will the peo
ple who labor in the plants
be prepared to take good jobs
without it, nor will managers
of new industries move to
a community in which the

at the cathedral of St. John
the Baptist from 1923 until
1925 when he was assigned to
S,t. Anthony’s in Atlanta. In
1926 he was transferred to St.
Joseph’s, Athens.
In 1937 he was named pas
tor of St. John the Evangelist,
Valdosta serving there until
1939 when he was transfer
red to Sacred Heart Milledge-
ville. Following this assign
ment he served again as pas
tor at Athens and was named
pastor of Sacred Heart, War
ner Robins in 1946.
He was named pastor of St.
Anthony’s Atlanta, in Decem
ber, 1952 and was named a
member of the Diocesan Board
of Consultors in 1957 and a
Domstic Prelate with the ti
tle of Right Reverend Monsig

school system is inadequate.
8. The same thing is true
about the road system. Some
$20,000,000 of road construc
tion is now underway in this
community at a cost of in
numerable hours spent by
City, County and General As
sembly officials with the State
Highway Department and the
Governor to induce them to
get on with this important work
in our area, as well as many
dollars in local money to ac
quire rights - of- way, move
utilities, etc.
9. The federal government
expects to spend $13,000,000
in harbor improvements over
the next three or four years.
The local community is going
to have to come up with over
one-half million dollars for
spoilage areas for these im
provements. In recent years
a similar amount was appro
priated for the deepening of the
harbor and almost $100,000
for the King’s Island Turning
Basin was supplied by local
government. The harbor con
stitutes this tlity’s lifeline.
Numerous people in our com
munity are dependent for their
livelihood on the harbor, and
we all know it.
10. Millions of dollars have
been spent by the State in ex
panding the docks of the Geor
gia Ports Authority. This, too,
has increased the opportunity
for people of this area to
make a living from our har
bor.
1L City, County and Dis
trict Authority officials have
called on scores of industries
lauding the advantages of Sa
vannah and seeking to have
them locate here. It would
be impossible to name them
all, but among others they in
clude UnionCarbide, Flintkote
Company. McDonnell Avia
tion, Anheuser-Busch Brew
ing Company, Grumman Avia
tion, the Army and Air Force
Exchange, P. R. Mallory &
Co., General American
Transportation Corporation,
various steel companies,
Thiokol, Rohr, various che
mical companies, etc.
12. T^e have also tried to
keep all government instal
lations presently located here
in this area, and to have them
increased, and for that rea
son have made numerous trips
to Washington along with let
ters and phone calls by the
score. These installations in
clude Hunter Air Force Base,
Fort Stewart, the Customs
House , the Corps of Engi
neers, the Marine Hospital
and the Communicable Di
sease Center at Oatland Is
land.
From the above I think you
will see that the community
has not put all its eggs in one
basket. We are trying to put
some eggs in all the baskets.
One of the baskets we are
spending some time on is
tourism. I think you will
find that tourism will do more
for the economy than you are
giving it credit for. It will
increase the opportunity for
employment in stores and
shops and other commercial
ventures which will profit by
the stream of tourists going
by their front door. I do not
think it is a question of choice
as to whether we have one
or the other, but trying to do
everything we can along every
reasonable path to acquire a
better economic future for all
of us. I have never found it
true that anyone in this com
munity did not want industrial
or port or any other kind of
development on a large scale.
For example, in the last few
years we have acquired such
industries as American Cy-
anamid, Southern Nitrogen,
Atlantic Cement and Cryoge
nics.
I certainly hope that the
above information will give
you a cheerier outlook on
Savannah’s economic future.
Respectfully yours,
Malcolm Maclean,
Mayor of Savannah
WASHINGTON (NC) — An
eight-man team of officials
from U. S. voluntary aid a -
gencies has left for Vietnam
to study ways of increasing
relief to Vietnamese refugees.
The group, sent (Oct. 16)
by the U. S. Agency for In
ternational Development Aid
at the direction of President
Johnson, includes Msgr. John
F. McCarthy, assistant exe
cutive director of Catholic
Relief Services—National ca
tholic Welfare Conference,
which operates the largest vo
luntary aid program in Viet
nam.
Before leaving, the group
met with Vice President Hu
bert H. Humphrey and heard
a reminder of the “urgency
of the plight of the Vietna
mese refugees.”
“The President and I are
confident,” Humphrey said,
“that the great American
overseas relief agencies can
make their traditional contri
bution to ease the misery
and suffering of the peace-
seeking but war-torn men,
women and children of Viet
nam.”
Humphrey said the U. S.
needs voluntary agencies “be
cause they can do the job on
a people- to - people basis,
which the government cannot
do.”
The eight officials, in ad
dition to meeting with U. S.
and Vietnamese officials in
Saigon, will visit a number
of the approximately 200 re
fugee camps which house well
over a half million refugees.

ASKS month, Pope Paul made clear to us all his con-
YOUR cern for the world's poor. In southern India, as
HELP in 17 countries in the Near and Middle East,
the Catholic Near East Welfare Association is the
Holy Father’s own Mission Aid Society, helping
the poor to help themselves. ... He seeks your
help for people such as the impoverished refu
gees of Marottichal, Kerala State, south India.
These penniless souls live in a completely moun
tainous region, with no school, hospital, or even
a good road of access. They must fight wild
beasts, the forest, dread disease, in order to eke
out a meager sustenance of one meal a day. The
determination of the small Catholic population
(outnumbered ten to one) is due to the tireless
FATHER efforts of Father George Koonan. Until he ar-
GEORGE rived two years ago, no religious services were
DOES conducted. Immediately, Father George built a
TOO temporary shed, a place at least to say Mass.
“If we are to bring God to my people,” he says,
“we must have a permanent church and a
modest center to conduct religious training for
the young and old alike.” . . . These are the
people for whom Pope Paul asks your help.
$2300 will build the church Father George needs
so badly. $900 will enable him to erect a re
ligious training center. Your -gift of any size
($100, $75, $50, $25, $10, $3, $1) will help.
