SAID that a tour made by two doctors, a Belgian and an Italian, “indicated that there were...28 bodies at the Prince Leopold hospital, reportedly victims of the recent fighting. Many of them bore bullet and shrapnel marks but it was im possible to determine the source of the firing that killed them.” Gardiner told Father Kileshie that “it is most unfortunately true that looting of and damage to two churches, one in Kasapa NELSON-RIVES REALTY.

Missionaries reports had stat ed that the rectory of St. Au gustine’s church in the Karavia district and St. Vincent’s church in the Kasapa district had been looted by Ethiopian soldiers. Gardiner said: "The officers commanding ONUC troops that occupied the area have asserted that they found the churches in this de plorable condition when they arrived, and it was assumed that the desecration was com mitted by Katanga gendarmerie who were heavily deployed and had gone out of control in these areas...

"Although we cannot consider the case closed, we have found no evidence to support charges that ONUC soldiers were the perpetrators of these crimes.” The Gardiner letter made no mention of Archbishop Corne- lis’ report that "St. Boniface's church was hit by two mortar salvos. Sisters took shelter in the cellar all night while their convent was being severly bombed.” THE letter also omitted men tion of the following reports from missioners: —The looting of St. Bene dict's church in the Kenia dis trict. —The violation and murder of three women there by Ethiopian troops who shot at men trying to save the women and also en gaged in widespread thievery. —The looting of Our Lady's church in Lubumbashi, as well as of the Benedictine monastery and a seminary there by Ethio pian soldiers. —The action of Tunisian troops who threatened students of St. Boniface’s secondary school with execution for carry ing arms after forcing them to fill their pockets with cartrid ges. —The looting of a priest’s house in the Katuba district by Tunisian soldiers.

VERSE OF DEATH The School Lunch Program and Special Milk Program in the State of Georgia is under the supervision of Miss Josephine Martin, Supervisor. In the Archdiocese of Atlanta, the schools feed 2,750 children per day and they spent $10,471.91 for food during January, 1963. There are fourteen schools from the Archdiocese of Atlanta participating in the School Lunch and Special Milk Pro gram. Mrs. Sarah Johnstone, Assistant State Supervisor, School Lunch Section, Atlanta, Georgia and Mrs. Eldora Cot ter, Secretary, Archdiocesan Schools Office, coordinated the three day training program. Program participants were representatives from the school representatives from the School Lunch Section and the Food Distribution Division of the Georgia State Department of Education. In addition, person nel from the United States De partment of Agriculture, South eastern Area Office, worked closely with the Georgia State Department of Education in planning and conducting the meeting. This was the first training program of its kind offered to the School Lunch Personnel In the Archdiocese of Atlanta. School Lunch Personnel in at tendance acquired a better un derstanding and appreciation of their responsibilities under the National School Lunch and Spec ial Milk Programs. THE THEME of the training program was Assuming the Re sponsibility of Improving School Lunch Programs. Various phases of the National School Lunch Program and Special Milk Program were discussed during the three day program but particular emphasis was placed on "increasing partici pation.” School Lunch Personnel of .the Catholic Schools in the Arc hdiocese of Atlanta attended a training program last at Saint Pius X Catholic High School. The meeting was sponsored by the Georgia State Depart ment of Education, School Lunch Section, in cooperation with Rev. John W. Leahy, Superin tendent of the Archdiocesan Schools.

PHILADELPHIA -<NC) — From shattered accident victim given no chance of survival to champion weightlifter, music teacher and band leader—that is the story of J. Kent Lena- han, Jr., whose amazing re turn from the jaws of death is attributed to the interces sion of Venerable John Nep- omucene Neumann, fourth Bis hop of Philadelphia. Lenahan’s apparently mirac ulous recovery from injuries suffered in an auto accident in July, 1949, has been accept ed by the medical commiss ion of Rome’s Sacred Congre gation of Rites as one of the two miracles needed for the beatification of Bishop Neum ann. Beatification is expected to take place on June 23. ON JULY 8, 1949, Lenahan, then 19, was traveling in an automobile with two other youths near Wayne, a suburb of Philadelphia. When the driver stopped the car, Lenahan swit ched to the outside position so that he could get out first at his home in Villanova. While Lenahan was still on the runn ing board, the driver started the car and Lenhan was left hanging precariously to the side of the moving vehicle. Suddenly, eyewitnesses re ported, the car swerved and sideswiped a utility pole at the roadside. Lenahan was crushed between the car and pole and hurled to the ground. He was rushed to nearby Byrn Mawr Hospital. His skull was crushed; one eye, almost torn from its socket, hung over his cheekbond; and he was bleeding copiously from ears, nose and mouth. FROM JULY 8 to 12, the youth hovered between life and death. A rib—one of three fract ured in the accident—had torn a gaping hole in one lung, and there were other internal in juries, all considered so certainly fatal that they v/ere not even set down in detail in the hospital record. Though in a coma, Lenahan tossed in violent delirium. His temperature rose to 107 degrees and his pulse rate was 160. Normal rate is 70 to 75. His physician, Dr. Charles A. Stein er, as well as nurses and other hospital personnel, abandoned all hope for his recovery. On the afternoon of July 12, a priest was called and Lena han received the Sacrament of Extreme Unction. His parents, summoned to his bedside, found the priest reciting the prayers for the dying. THE PARENTS, Mr. and Mrs. James Kent Lenahan, had se cured a relic—a portion of the cassock—of Venerable Bishop Neumann with the aid of a non- Catholic neighbor. They brought the relic to the hospital and ap plied it to their apparently dying son. By 11 p.m. the same day Lenahan’s temperature had dropped to 100 degrees and his pulse rate was nearly normal. A non - Catholic nurse who VATICAN CITY (NC)—Pope John XXIII has written a let ter to Amleto Cardinal Cicog- nani, Papal Secretary of State, congratulating the Cardinal on his 80th birthday. A well -informed Vatican source described the letter, which Pope John wrote in his own hand, as "cordial and af- attended him testified that, be cause hope for his survival had been abandoned, all medical treatment had been halted. Yet Lenahan’s condition had im proved remarkably. “When we returned to the hospital the morning of July 13," recalled Mrs. Lenahan, "the entire building was buz zing with the news of Kent’s amazing improvement. We found him resting quietly. His restlessness and delirium were completely gone. Even his com plexion, which had been an ugly blue, had returned to normal. "FROM then on,” she con tinued, "his recovery was ra pid. Even the external bumps and bruises healed rapidly, and he was able to discuss with us the cure he had received. We all agreed it must have been a miracle.” On visiting his patient the following morning, Dr. Steiner was astonished at the sudden recovery and at a loss to ex plain it. Nurses and interns who had seen Lenahan when he was admitted were equally ast onished. By July 17, Lenahan’s tem perature and pulse rate were entirely normal. He chatted with his parents. His injuries seem ed to be healing completely. LESS THAN five weeks after the accident—on August 10,1949 —Kent Lenahan walked unaided from Byrn Mawr Hospital and returned to his parents’ home in Villanova. Since that time he has been in excellent health. Recalling details of her son’s return home, Mrs. Lenahan said: "He was out mowing the front lawn within a couple of weeks, and by Labor Day he was back to playing his trum pet and lifting weights.” Before the accident Lenahan wore glasses to correct severe nearsightedness. After his re turn from the hospital, Lenahan had his eyes examined and found that his eyesight had improved measurably. "I LOST my glasses several years ago," Lenahan said. "I never bothered to replace them because I have absolutely no need for them.” WHAT: ST.

In ad dition, he gives private music lessons and plays several in struments in his own dance orchestra. HE LIVES in Ardmore, a Philadelphia suburb, with his wife, Rita, and their two child ren, James Kent III, five, and Erin Maureen, one. He is study ing for his master’s degree in musical education. Lenahan’s father, a lawyer, died in 1957. His mother resid es in Villanova. She credits the application of the relic of Bishop Neu mann and the prayers of many nuns for her son’s recovery. Particularly efficacious, she believes, were the prayers of the Dominican Sisters of the Perpetual Rosary, whose head quarters are at Camden, N. J. Immediately upon hearing of the accident, she said, the nuns began a round-the-clock novena to beg the intercession of Bis hop Neumann. “Words will never express our gratitude to Bishop Neu mann for what he has given us," Mrs. Lenahan declared. "We are thrilled to have play ed a part in what now seems a certainty—his beatification. When he is eventually canon ized, you may be sure he’ll be our family’s favorite saint.” Peachtree Road Pharmarmacy Pick Up and Delivery Service CE 7-6466 4062 Peachtree Rd.
