The one-day institute planned by the Augusta Deanery on NCCW com missions will be held Septem ber 27 instead of as previous ly reported. * * * Some of our readers have asked for a repeat of the ad dress for ordering “Parlia-' mentary Points” and “Con vention Critique and Local Club Procedures”, booklets written by Miss Kathryn E. Bowers, NCCW Parliamen tarian. These may be secured for $125 each from Parlia mentary Consultants, 204 E. Capitol St., Washington, D. C, 20003. We hope many of our members will avail them selves of the opportunity to order one or both of these invaluable booklets. * * * A letter from our National President concerns Radio Free Europe, the private, pub licly supported American radio network which daily links East Europe with the free world. Quoting from Mrs. Shields’letter: “Wecan’t quite comprehend the endless re strictions and frustrations facing the people of East Europe every day of their lives. Radio Free Europe works from dawn to midnight to try to alleviate this hop- lessness by bringing them all the news of the world, truth fully. The women of East Eu rope, hard pressed by the mul tiple duties of job, home, family, daily shopping, tight budgets and few conveniences, turn to Radio Free Europe for help with many problems. Millions of East Europeans of all ages look to Radio Free Europe for religious and cul tural programs as well as news, information and amuse ment. It seeks to give them the strength to pursue their dreams, of personal liberty and national independence.” “Life Under Communism”, one of the booklets published by the Radio Free Europe Fund, gives graphic accounts of religion, youth and the fam ily under Communism. It states in part, “Since the end of World War II the forces of religion, one of the major areas of resistance to the spread of Communism, and atheism have been locked in constant struggle in East Eu rope. For the majority of its 83 million people it also is a constant struggle to main tain the semblance of a family unit and basic living standards. From early childhood young sters are fed political theories and ideological nonsense. Re acting against this training, teen-agers in East Europe look to the free world for new ideas. Radio Free Europe has tradi tionally provided a link with the West for the families of East Europe. The fact that someone cares enough to become the public advocate against the system and the rulers makes life a little easier to endure. “Measurable improvements have been made since RFE went on the air 15 years ago. Certain relaxations, cautious restoration of a few freedoms - even the erratic appearance of more and better consumer goods have made life under Communism more bearable, although still far from the life we know in a free society.” Radio Free Europe is our personal, effective answer to Communist propaganda. It de pends on private contributions (which incidentally are tax deductible) and needs our sup port to continue its work. Mrs. Shields asks us to be gen erous as we have in the past. Checks may be made payable to Radio Free Europe Fund and sent to Mrs. John D. Shields, NCCW, 1312 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, D. C. 20005. (Mrs. W.C.B.)

This program was established by the Catholic bishops of the se ven dioceses, including Bel mont Abbey, jointly in 1965. The first was held in Char lotte, N.C. in January 1966. The Congresses have an ecumenical impact not only because so many from other churches attend, but also be cause so many are concern ed with the decency and pro priety of public worhip. The sessions are always open to the public. Delegates from each parish in the dioceses of Miami, St. Augustine, Savannah, Atlanta, Charleston, Raleigh and Bel mont Abbey are assigned as representatives of their parish. The Congress is not a go verning or policy-making body. It’s sole purpose is to learn how to better praise God in the assembly of the Church. The theme of this year’s Congress is “O God, You will Give Us Life Again”. Ser vices and workshop sessions will be held in the Greenville Memorial Auditorium and the Congress headquarters will be in the Jack Tar Poinsett Hotel.
