Wehner, her sucessor at the annual meeting of the Nazareth Chapter, Holy Family Hospital Auxiliary. HOLY FAMILY Hospital Auxiliary Holds Annual Meet PORTLAND, Ore. (NC) — A Catholic nun has scored a hit teaching adult Sunday school Classes at a Presbyterian church here. Sister John Mary, chairman of the division of Biblical scien ce, theology and philosophy at Maryhurst College, in mid- January began teaching a six- week adult seminar on Bible studies to 70 to 80 parishion ers of Moreland Presbyterian church at the invitation of its pastor, the Rev. Marvis j. Key- ser. Glover Machine Works Incorporated Marietta Georgia C&S REALTY COMPANY “Specialists in Commercial and Industrial Real Estate" MUTUAL enthusiasm and in terest have been the results thus far of the experiment in ecumenism. "Members of The congregat ion show Curiosity about several things—for example, my reli gious name," Sister John Mary said. To this she added words of her own admiration for a church which produces enough volun teer workers to teach "dozens of Sunday school classes" and has established a program of adult education which includes three hour - long seminars weekly. Railroad Aid NEW HAVEN, Conn. (NC)— Ties between a convent of Bene dictine nuns in Litchfield, Conn., and the New Haven Rail road are proving fruitful. Some time ago, Richard Smith, one of the railroad’s trustees, said the New Haven donated some old railroad ties to repair a bam at the convent. In their letter of thanks, Smith said, the nuns promised to pray for the line. He said it seems to be paying off because "so far every bad storm coming out of the west has missed us.” SISTER John Mary’s seminar is similar to Bible classes she has taught for five years to evening gatherings at Maryl- hurst College, which have at times comprised members of as many as six denominations. "We use every kind of Bible,” she said. "We study as object ively as possible. Where dis crepancies exist, we go to the original Greek text and point out that the various versions are all simply English trans lations." APPROPRIATELY, the ses sions are held in the Presby terian church’s Fellowship Hall. "The purpose is for us to encounter one another and to understand each other better," Sister John Mary stated. "We have begun to capitalize on what we have in common with other faiths, and certainly in doing this Scripture is the place to start." She added: ‘'There are many Protestants whose main know ledge of the Catholic church stems from the era of the In quisition. That such things did happen is a matter of history, not legend. Today, we should make reparation." RESULTS of the experiment so far have already produced a second invitation for Sister John Mary to conduct a seminar at Portland's Westminster Pres byterian church. The Rev. Keyser, comment ing on the unusual ecumenical project, said Christians "can not be naive or sentimental about the very real differences- which exist." "But when we meet on the common ground of Biblical studies, we find that we are Christians together. The funda mental motivation is to build bridges rather than walls," she said. REAL ESTATE NEW ORLEANS -(NC)— A real estate expert said property values are "immediately stab ilized and increased when land is purchased for a church and school in a residential area." Daniel F. Sheehan, Sr., of St. Louis, who was installed (Jan. 28) as president at the National Association of Real Estate Boards’ annual convention here, said that upon purchase of pro perty in a residential develop ment for location of a church and school "the demand immed iately steps up values for pro perty in that area." SHEEHAN, a leader in civic and archdiocesan affairs in St. Louis, said there is a demand both by people with young child ren because of the accessibility MW PROGRAM Members of Our Lady of the Assumption high school Sodality initiated a program for retard ed children Sunday, Feb. 3. The program consists of religious instruction for the retarded children of the parish. It begins at 9:25 a.m. and concludes at 9;55 a.m. Sister MarydeLellis, R. S, M., is the moderator of the program. Registration for the instruct ion took place early in January. Presently there are four child ren enrolled, but the instructors anticipate some additions, There are fifteen girls who are involved in the program, repre senting both St. Plus X. High School and D'Youvllle Academy. IN TRAINING the high school Mrs. Paul J. Wehner was in stalled as President for 1963 at the third annual meeting of the Holy Family Hospital Auxiliary, Nazareth Chapter. The install ation was signalled by the pre sentation of a gavel designed, made, and given to the auxiliary by Mr. Edwin F.Cross,amem- ber of the Holy Family Hospital Lay Advisory Board. Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan was the principal speaker at the festive luncheon meeting. OTHER officers installed were Mrs. T. J. Sutherland, Vice President, Mrs. Thomas O’Brien, Treasurer, Mrs. Stanley H. Bass, Corresponding Secretary, and Mrs. William A. Keller, Recording Secretary. Mrs. W, L. Leinmiller, out going President, told the 110 members and guests that the auxiliary now numbers more than 220, and during 1963 special efforts will be made to increase this number. of school and by older couples because of the nearness of church. "The demand for resale is also increased,” he said. Among guests at the install ation ceremonies was Archbis hop John P. Cody, Administrat or erf New Orleans, a boyhood friend of Sheehan. SHEEHAN also said that slum clearance has an "instant im pact’’ when the area being re newed is in the downtown sect ion of a city. "One project seems to spur on another," he said. "It’s an Incentive to develop in the down town area." girls for their positions, Sister Mary deLellis, R.S.M., has stressed emphasis upon under standing rather than memory. Also the vocabulary of the in structors must be within the range of expected comprehen sion on the part of the retarded child. In regard to the newly in corporated program, the Mod erator replied, "I am very pleased with the response from both the high school girls and the parents of the retarded children. It Is our duty to help the mentally disabled child, and 1 believe that this high school Sodality will fulfill Its obligat ion to serve Christ by partici pating in such a worthwhile endeavor as this." As a token of appreciation for their contribution as past Presidents, charm bracelets with engraved medallions were presented on behalf of the auxi liary, to Mrs. William A. Kell er and Mrs. W. L. Leinmiller. The presentation was made by Sister M. Theophane, Adminis trator of the Hospital Program. THE HOLY FAMILY Hospital now under construction, will provide general facilities in a medical trade area with 225,000 people, which has never had its own hospital. The area includes a section of Fulton County, South Cobb, and Douglas Count ies. 1 It is anticipated that the Medical Mission Sisters will be ready to open the hospital by mid 1964. The initial building will pro vide 128 patient beds for short term illness and will include all major services as well as dia gnostic and treatment facilities. The medical staff for the hosp ital, presently being organized, will be made up of physicians from within the medical trade area and complemented by specialists from other parts of the city. The new hospital will be lo cated on Fairburn Road at the west end of Sewell Road, S. W. It Is being constructed on a 60 acre tract of land which will provide for future expansion as planned by the Medical Mission Sisters.

Ste fan Cardinal Wyszynski has charged in a report issued here. The Primate of Poland spoke in an interview with Christine Hotchkiss published here by the Saturday Evening Post. Accord ing to the author, the inter view was granted in Roma be fore Cardinal Wyszynski re turned to Warsaw from the ecu menical council. THE CARDINAL declared: "The agreement that I nego tiated with Gomulka six years ago last October has been ignor ed... Hardly any of the promises have been kept. Instead, a powerful administrative appar atus has been mobilized to fight us. It tentacles spread every where." Speaking of Poland’s 30mill ion Catholics, the Cardinal stat ed: "We form the most power ful body of dissent in the Soviet empire. . . and the struggle we are engaged in is affecting the balance of the cold war. . . So far we are holding the line, but the pace of the onslaught is quickening. Our existence is a shattering proof of the failure of the communist doctrine." CARDINAL Wyszynski con tinued: "A recent decree. . .compels every employee of the state to refer every' matter concerning a clergyman, Church organizat ion or religious order to a special government agency called the Office for Religious Beliefs. It makes no difference whether this involves an appli cation for a building permit, a driving license for the local priest or an allotment of coal for a convent. . . The policy of the Office for Religious Beliefs is quite simple— ‘no’ to every request. "Then there is the financial pressure through taxes. . . The government ’calculated* that the revenue of the Church comes to 2,500,000,000 zlotys a year (a- bout $100,000,000). Itfixed taxes on this revenue at 800,000,000 zlotys (roughly one third). "This absurd estimate was made to provide a so-called 'legal basis' for the exorbit ant levies that are now being extorted from us. There is no money to pay it, for the Church's real income amounts to less than one sixth of the govern ment’s estimate (which would make the tax twice as high as the income). "BUT the government is re lentless. In one parish the furn iture of the village priest has been seized in payment for so- called ’back taxes’ due from the collection plates last year. In another, a priest's bicycle and his wristwatch were confiscat ed when internal revenue agents w ere unable to locate the pre posterously high sums of money they demanded. According to a recent regulation, all religious schools, seminaries and con vents are classified as 'luxury hotels* and thus subject to ex orbitant taxation. "Our clergy lives in con stant fear of eviction. For the state confiscates everything— buildings, furniture, livestock, farm produce. . . .The students in a seminary in central Poland recently found themselves sleeping in drawers used to store clerical vestments. Every other piece of furniture had been seized by the tax collect or." Cardinal Wyszynski emphas ized to the interviewer; "Yes, they are brutal.*’ "THEY HOPE," he said, "to discourage young people from joining the ranks of the clergy. Some, of course, do succumb through sheer physical exhaus tion. 1 can't blame them. . .But these are all flagrant violat ions of Gomulka’s agreement in 1956." The Cardinal spoke of the Red regime’s war against the Catholic press. He said: "Strict censorship. . . Is applied to all circulars, pam phlets and church publications essential for the dissemination of faith and the routine function ing of Church administrative bodies. It involves endless de lays and expense. "Take the case of books, for example. The communist cen sor requires that a copy which is bound and ready for sale be submitted to him. He then pro ceeds to blank out parts of it, making it necessary to reprint and rebind the entire book. The allocation of'paper is also in the government’s hands and we are entirely dependent on their whim. Yes, we have traveled a long way from the heady days of October, 1956— unhappily in the wrong direct ion!". The Polish Primate also de nounced the communist govern ment's suppression of religious education. He declared: "IN ITS effort to create an atheistic society in Poland. . . the government has suspended religious teaching in school" FIRST PERMANENT IMAGE Vatican Basilica Gets Saint Joseph Mosaic VATICAN CITY -NC- St. Peter’s basilica is getting its first permanent image of St. Joseph—a 10 by 6 1/2 foot mosaic. The mosaic, which is being made at the Vatican mosaic studio, is expected to be mount ed by Easter. It has been plan ned as a memorial to the steps His Holiness Pope John XXIII has taken to give more honor to the foster father of Christ. POPE JOHN, who wafi bapt ized with the name of Joseph, indicated in an apostolic letter of March 19 (the feast of St. Joseph), 1961, that he was going to put the Second Vatican Coun cil under the patronage of St. Joseph. At the end of that letter, he promised that he would give "a new, greater and more sol emn splendor" to the altar in St. Peter’s dedicated to St. Joseph. THE WORK now being com pleted in the Vatican's mosaic studio is a direct result of that promise. It Is intended to re- ;• cord also the order the Pope St. Jude Meet The women of Saint Jude’s Altar Society welcomed Dr. Al- oysius L Miller, engaged in pri vate practice of Psychiatry and Assistant Medical Director of Brawner Hospital, Smyrna, Georgia. A member of Saint Jude’s parish, Dr. Miller chose as his topic "WOMEN-Role, Reason and Religion". issued November 13, 1962, to insert the name of St. Joseph in the Canon of the Mass. The mosaic is a copy of a painting by Achille Funi, 71- year-old Milan artist, whose works hang in galleries in Rome, Moscow, Venice, Milan and Lausanne. It depicts St. Joseph as a young man holding the Child Jesus in one arm with a lily in his other hand. One of two angels in the painting bears a banner with the words: "You shall rule over my house." MASTER artisans of the mos aic studio have finished two- thirds of the mosaic, including the full figure of St. Joseph. It lies on the floor of the studio and is covered with sheets of cellophane as three artisans assemble the remain ing sections with pieces of colored stone and enamel. . can mean HIGHER RETIREMENT INCOME!
