Diocesan Vice Chairman Public Relations
CONVENTION. As our
readers peruse this column,
some of us will be enjoying a
week-end at Callaway
Gardens while attending the
joint Diocesan Convention.
We know that the gathering
will be a very fruitful one and
we will be happy to share all
the happenings with our
readers in the next issue of
The Southern Cross.

NEW CATHOLIC
ENCYCLOPEDIA. The good
news of the availability of
this, the most important
Catholic publishing
achievement of our time, was
made known to our readers in
last week’s column. Now to
add emphasis, we are glad to
quote a letter from Bishop
Frey to our National
President under date of April
9 giving his endorsement of
this splendid publication:
“Dear Madam President:
“Your Diocesan President
has informed me of the
magnificent project the
National Council of Catholic
Women is undertaking, to put
into every parish and school
library of our Diocese, a set
of the NEW CATHOLIC
ENCYCLOPEDIA.
“I wish, therefore, to
compliment the NCCW on its
being consistently in the
forefront in advancing
Catholic education.
As the value of such a
Catholic reference work to
our parishes and schools
cannot be overestimated, I
give you my enthusiastic
encouragement and support
in this most worthwhile
endeavor.
Sincerely in our Divine Savior,
l&l GERARD L. FREY
Bishop of Savannah.”
Our Diocesan President,
Marie Joines, feels that this
project is so important that
she has reproduced 250
copies of Bishop Frey’s letter
of endorsement which she has
attached to a Memorandum
addressed to all members of
the SDCCW, SDCCM and the
CFM attending the Joint
Convention at Callaway
Gardens. These will be
distributed in the Convention
Bags, thus making the
information available to a
great many persons in the
hope of stimulating interest
in having a set of the NEW
catholic encyclopedia placed
in every school and parish
library in the Diocese.
Even though the club year
will soon come to a close,
Parish Councils and
particularly Home and School
Associations are encouraged
to take up this project at
their May meeting and then
to carry it through in the fall.
SAFETY LEGISLATION.
A special supplement of
“News From the Hill” in
reference to the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of
1968 brought with it the
brochure “On the Job
Slaughter: A National
Shame” published by the
U.S. Department of Labor.
This brings out the startling
fact that every year nearly
15,000 working people are
killed on the job, that over 2
million become disabled as a
result of their employment,
and that over 7 million suffer
various degrees of injury
while at work. It also states
that many of our industrial
casualties are preventable, in
fact, most of them.
To correct this very
serious situation, two bills
have been drawn up and
presented to Congress, the
Senate bill being S2864 and
the House bill HR14816. This
is legislation that every
woman in the country can
support because it proposes
to safeguard lives of the
working members of the
family by reducing
occupational safety and
health hazards on the job and
by substantially lessening the
number of accidents and
work-connected diseases
among job holders. In
addition, it will prevent loss
of wages resulting from
occupational accidents.
Our readers are
encouraged to get in touch
now with the Chairmen of
both the Senate and House
Labor Committees and let
them know that you support
this important legislation.
Carl D. Perkins (D-Kan.) is
House Chairman and Lister
Hill (D-Ala.) is Senate
Chairman.

FINAL EVENT DECIDES CHAMPIONSHIP
St. Anthony’s Scores Come From
Behind Victory In Track Meet
A down-to-the-wire finish
and a great comeback from
almost certain defeat enabled
St. Anthony to overcome all
odds and emerge as 1968
champs of the Knights of
Columbus’ fifth annual
parochial school track and
field meet. The meet,
sponsored by Savannah
Council 631, was held last
Saturday at Savannah’s

SAVANNAH STUDENTS
The small School, located
at 112 Fell St., amazed
spectators as they jumped
back into contention with
victories in six of the last
seven events. Their point
total added up to 67 as
compared with Blessed
Sacrament’s 65.
The match was not
decided until Anthony
Michael of St. Anthony
forged ahead of Anthony
Abbott of Blessed Sacrament
in the final race of the
meet-the senior boys’
200-yard run.
It looked as if the meet
was again in the bag for
Blessed Sacrament as Abbott
jumped into a starting lead
and held it through most of
the 200-yard dash. It was
close to the finish line that
Michael, of St. Anthony,
made his last-ditch attempt
that won his victory and his
team the meet.
Other team scores follow:
Nativity 35, St. James 30,
St. Mary 25, St. Benedict 22,

Select Group Completes
Computer Pilot Program
On Tuesday, April 30, a
select group of students
completed a course in basic
computer programming
offered by Savannah’s
Benedictine Military School.
This offering was first in the
academic community of this
area on the high-school level.
As a pilot program it proved
successful in the area of
student interest and
motivation. A program of
basic computer theory was
presented, followed by a
presentation of the theory of
Fortran II computer
language.
The computer is rapidly
becoming a part of the fabric
of academic life. At some
colleges and universities,
students in mathematics and
the sciences must complete
periodic examinations and
problems on a computer. In
some states computer
language and computer
experience in elementary
programming has been
introduced into the
mathematic curriculum of
high-school programs; in
other areas, pilot programs
are being conducted on the
sixth-grade level.
At Bishop Carroll High
School in Ebensburg, Pa., a
school with which Fr.
Brinstan Takach, coordinator
of the program at Benedictine
was associated for six and
one-half years, computer
language Fortran II has been
a part of Algebra II for the
past two years. For computer
experience, the students had
access to a computer at
Altoona, Pa., 30 miles
distant, by means of
telephone wire and tape input
into the municipally owned
computer. The students are
thereby enabled to type their
problems directly into the
computer and receive output
from the computer by means
of the same typewriter. Part
of the cost involved is
defrayed by the Federal
Government.
It is hoped that computer
access can be established at
Benedictine at some time in
the future for the purpose of
enhancing students with
computer experience.
Participating in the
program was a select group of
students from B.C., St.
Vincent’s Academy and St.
Pius X High School.
Certificates will be issued to
these students and
notification will be entered
on the official transcripts and
permanent records at B.C.
that a course in computer
work was completed.
Designing the program and
providing the instruction
were Mr. Henry Kennedy of
St. James Parish and Mr.
Walter Schaaf of Nativity
Parish. These gentlemen,
expert programmers,
associated with the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers,
have taught computer
programs at colleges in the
Savannah area.
The program consisted of
twelve one and one-half
hour sessions on Tuesdays
and Thursdays thru the
months of March and April.
