Expressing “concern" over these accusations, Slayton says they are “unwarranted on the basis of ascertainable facts" and may lead to misunderstand ing of Federally assisted re newal efforts.

He notes that POAU charges of unfairness in the participa tion of Fordham University, New York, and St. Louis (Mo.) University in urban renewal projects have been through courts. “As you know, the ci ties involved and the Federal government were upheld in every case concerning selling of urban renewal land to these two schools,” he said. SLAYTON also noted that many schools and churches have benefited from urban renewal activities in their cities. He cites Baptist, Episcopal, Met hodist and other denominations. Slayton's letter has been dis tributed across the country to local public agencies engated in urban renewal. They were told it was made available to answer inquiries about POAU charges.

You look at the sleepy faces and figures, and feel part of something comfortable and family-like — a little envy thinking of the nuns who pray in this way — you feel strong er too, as your voice unites with others, the waves of love and petition pulsing and surging against the gates of heaven. . . ...and then MASS... it’s beau ty enacted a few paces away, with Father offering up the “BREAD and WINE”, the Di vine presence so real, you feel the joy of your soul spill over and send it’s message to the very pores of your being ... “Breakfast with the girls’* — but unlike any you’ve ever had before ... the aroma of coffee, eggs, wonderful smell of food, kind hands anticipating your every need, fetching cream, sugar, a second cup of coffee ... and so nourished with “body" food to supplement the “spiritual", you return to your room to brush your teeth and pull up the bed covers ... ...you glance out the window at the landscape — and follow the tree trunks upward ... you thank God for just the fact you're there ... and welll THE FIRST LECTURE—Fa ther takes you down the path of your OWN spiritual road .. he tells you of the humanity of Je sus ... and here is the “SE CRET”, correction, the WELL- KNOWN truth of spirituality ... living and reacting as Jesus would — After lecture, a walk in the air, as you dwell on Father’s words ...you notice small things you haven’t had time for before — the trees with just a faint whisper of spring foliage, pro mising beauty and shade in a few weeks time — a rock, us ually kicked out of your way, is picked up to be turned over and scrutinized ... the Chatta- hoochie down below, muddy, winking at the morning sun — (you suddenly form a desire to find it’s origin) ... your eyes scamper up the banks to a mea dow, where someone is riding Thousandaire Headquarters WEST END OOMDON AT ASHBY TENTH STREET 1124 PfACHTRIt BUCKHEAD PEACHTREE AT PltOMONT LAKEWOOD LAKCWOOO AT STEWART COLLEGE PARK 38S1 MAIN STREET BROOKHAVEN 4008 REACHTREE MAIN OFFICE MARIETTA AT BROAD Atlanta Federal Savings INO JOAN A1SOCIAIIO BOOKKEEPING TAX SERVICE (d. £ zRice & Go. 881 PEACHTREE ST..

I AMES ATLANTA 5, GA. TO THE EDITOR It would seem logical that the Georgia Bulletin carry, pri marily, news of Georgia churches, their events, addit ions, and changes. Actually, national and international events are featured in other Catholic papers and I wish they could be given secondary place in our Diocesan paper. Thank you for retaining “Georgia Pines” by Father Kieman, whose articles always have warmth and personality, and the articles by Father May- hew, who is always so infor mative. It would be interesting to read comments from others on this subject. MARGE LAFOY CARROLLTON, GA. TR 5-8317 HE 5-5893 INDIA: HARVEST IN MARCH Tht Holy Father's Missm Aid fur the Ormtal Church THE FLOODED RICE FIELDS of southern India have been drained. The tall-standing heads with their close-packed seeds are gathered in . . . After threshing, the grains, still encased in their brown hulls, are called paddy. Each year at this time the nineteen sisters from ST. JOSEPH’S HOME FOR THE PIm 5 ABANDONED appear for the harvest C- \ /||<A at ARPPOOKKARA, in the diocese of CHANGANACHERRY . . . They come to beg paddy for some 150 orphans, aged, handicapped and ill under their care. Whatever they re ceive now must last for the whole year! . . . SISTER CARMELA tells us sadlv that many who seek admittance at ST. JOSEPH’S mast be turned away. She cannot meet mount ing debts and lack of space maks3 the work doubly hard . . . The Sisters have only one room for themselves; another small corner for a chapel. They need a real chapel, a house for the Sisters, as well t3 an infirmary where those coming in with contagious diseases can be Isolated ... A gift of S3,090 will relieve the strain on these valiant women. Will you, for ST. JOSEPH’S FEAST this month, help a house dedicated to him? SPRINGTIME IN GALILEE "Because He was a man a* well as He was God. He loved His own goat-nibbled hills. His crumbling Jewish sod. He bowed to Rjman rule and dared none to rebel! But oh the windflowers out of Naim. We know He loved them well!” —Eileen Duggan Right now those "hills of Galilee” where He so often walked are ablaze with color—red. blue, white. The narcissus ("Rose of Sharon”) shines in the sunlight . . . Whole hillsides are 'covered with wild anemones <”Lily of the Field”) and with pink flax, crowfoot, iris, broomrape and borage. And here, on a day not long before the Crucifixion, Peter, in answer to Our Lord's question, uttered his Immortal reply: "Thou are the Christ!” In appreciation for the MASS STIPENDS and other gifts you send us, we would like to give you a small memento—a card with flowers from the Holy Land. Or we’ll gladly send one to the friend or relative in whose name your offering is made, if you wish. ‘‘EGG MONEY” “Egg money’’ traditionally goes to the farmer's wife for her use. Recently a woman wrote us that for years her egg money was given for the education of a seminarian ... At times she wondered If the sacrifice were worth while. Then came word that the young man is now ordained , . . Childless themselves, this good couple have been given great happiness by their adopted priest-son. You also can help educate a seminarian or Sister in one of our mission lands. $2 a week for six years pays for a semina rian’s training. S3 a week for two years prepares a girl for religious life ... Or you can Join a DOLLAR-A-MONTH CLUB: CHRYSOSTOM CLUB for seminarians MARY’S BANK for Sisters. Kindlv remember us in your will.
