PAGE 6 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY APRIL 4, 1963 ITALIAN CAMPAIGN 16,000 Catholic - Civic Committees Battle Reds ROME (NC)— Italy's Catholic oriented Civic Committees are again battling the communists on the eve of the April 28 national elections here. Before the crucial 1948 bal loting when this country seemed about to fall under Red rule, Communist party chieftain Pal in iro Togliatti publicly boasted he was having special shoes made to kick Catholic Premier Alcide De Gasperi out erf of fice. But the Reds were beaten and De Gasperi's Christian De mocrats won an absolute ma jority in the Chamber of Depu ties. TOGLIATTI then wrote a let ter to Luigi Gedda, at that time head of the men’s section of Italian Catholic Action, saying Gedda’s Civic Committees de served the lion’s share of the credit for the communist de feat. SSL- Gedda had founded the £bor- mittees on February 8, 1948, to "bring to the political field the demands of the Christian community, its requirements for public morals and education, while supporting the work of the bishops." In principle the committees work against communism. In practice their efforts aid the Christian Democratic parry above all other noncommunist parties.

WHAT THE Civic Commit tees do is give Catholics a means of influencing their fel low citizens on the political level. For the period of the campaigns, meetings and in dividual contacts, the commit tees draw public attention to the grave dangers presented by communism. They are highly organized. ACCW Deanery Decatur Meet The first open meeting of the South Deanery of the ACCW was held on March 31, 1963 at Sts. Peter & Paul Parish in Deca tur, Ga., with Mrs. John H. Kesler of LaGrance presiding. The 12 parishes of the Deanery were well represented by 111 registrants. Mrs. E. P. Faust, Jr., Gen eral Chairman, gave the wel coming address, and Mrs. Charlene Thomas, Vice-Presi dent, responded. Archbishop Hallinan, the guest speaker, stressed the importance of a more active Catholic laity. Mrs. George J. Gunning, President of ACCW, gave an illustrated talk on the operation of the Deanery council. The clergy in attendance were Very Rev. John O’Shea, Spiritual Moderator of South Deanery, Rev. Michael Man ning, Sts. Peter & Paul Pas tor and Spiritual Moderator of ACCW, and Rev. Leonard F.X. Meyhew, pastor of St. Peter's, LaGrange. Mrs. Rose Salome of Immaculate Conception Pa rish, Atlanta, was recipient of the door prize. AGAINST LOVETT The national headquarters sends directives to provincial delegations. Through these, the central office reaches 305 re gional branches and 16,000 lo cal committees. For this year’s campaign the Civic Committees are de-emp hasizing the poster campaign and concentrating on personal contact. Workers are going from house to house, especially in rural areas and small towns and villages, explaining how communism strikes at freedom and democracy. SPECIAL efforts are being made in this campaign in the underdeveloped regions of It aly's south. The Civic Com mittees are giving noncommu nist candidates material help and supplying them with argu ments against communist cl aims. They have also given spe cial attention to workers who have migrated from the south in search of Jobs. In this field they help find employment for them and help them feel at home in their new community. Catholics of other countries, especially from Latin America, have come to study the system and its operation. They seem especially interested in the abi lity of the Civic Committees to bring together Catholic.' of diverse viewpoints into a com mon front against communism. Gedda himself expresses satisfaction with the work of the committees. "We are pleased with the work done in the past because we have been able to win the esteem of the great majority of the electorate," he said.

BY G. A. TAYLOR Ten years ago this Spring, an energetic group of people — members of the St. Thomas More Home and School Asso ciation — decided to produce a play for the benefit of the school. George M. Cohan's "Se ven Keys to Baldpate" was sel ected, the Decatur High School auditorium was rented and the group buckled down to what was a brand new experience to the a majority of them. Under the guiding hand of Eu gene J. Bergmann, recently re tired from a Broadway theat rical career, the group found themselves working from early In the day until late at night. In stead of greasepaint and neon lights, they found themselves learning to build sets and plat forms, staircases and mantels, painting flats, soliciting adver tising, selling tickers and pub licizing the play plus the hun- dred-and-one other behind-the scenes-jobs, and above all, the long hours of rehearsal. At 8 P.M., April 24, 1953, the curtain went up on "Sev en Keys to Baldpate". Follow ing the favorable acceptance by the public, the group calling themselves "The Thespians" knew they were in the acting business to stay. Adopting the permanent name, "The Thea tre Guild of St. Thomas More Parish", a constitution was drawn up, officers were elec ted. Fred Stokes was the Guild's fir3t president. The purpose of the Guild — "To produce plays for reli gious, educational, civic and benevolent purposes." Many of the charter members of the Guild are still actively interested - Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Shook, Mr. and Mrs.LeoMues- sle — (Leo is the lighting en gineer and can work wonders with a length of stovepipe and a colored disc when a spot is needed) — Daisy Billups, Har rell, Dr. and Mrs. Wm. Hop kins and a number of others. LED BY Mr. Bergmann and his wife, Anita Tully Bergmann, an actress of great talent, the newly formed Guild set a pat tern of staging two plays a year. Highlights in the history of the Guild were "Jenny Kissed Me", in 1956 — when the Guild swit ched from the proscenium to the more intimate ‘round’ and moved into the school cafetor- ium — "Song of Bernadette" In 1958 with a number of re peat performances including a benefit performance at the Din kier Plaza Hotel. Pleasant In deed were the "road" shows of Bernadette at Macon and "Arsenic and Old Lace" at Hapeville. With accent on decency — a succession of good family- type plays such as " I Rem ember Mama", "Seven Nuns at Las Vegas", "Meet Me In GUILD TOLD St. Louis", "Life With Father”, "The Velvet Glove" and "Che aper by the Dozen" led up to the current repeat performance of "Jenny Kissed Me" in the Ballroom of the Dinkier Plaza Hotel at 8 p.m., April 27 and 28. These performances are given to raise funds for the non- denominational "Our Lady of Perprtual Help Free Cancer Home" in Atlanta. The annual Christmas play, featuring the children of the Guild members originated in 1954. Mrs. Bergmann produces and directs this play. In 1958 the Theatre Guild was invited by the National Catholic Social Services to entertain at the Vet erans Hospital in Brookhaven. A variety show was produced and has become an annual af fair. The Guild is the only organ ized Catholic Theatre group in this area and is a member of the National Catholic Theatre Conference. It is a pleasant way to make new friends, and raise funds for a worthy cause. Parents Must Take Delinquency Blame Spring Drills End At St Pius Tenth CLARK LAUNDRY-DR? CLEANING!

Invocation Asked The Parents Club of the Im maculate Heart of Mary Parish, meeting last Sunday afternoon, heard a recommendation from John W.

"The Enemy Down the Street" was the subject of an address delivered by Joseph Sheehan, president of the Geo rgia Junior Chamber of Com merce, to the ladies of the St. Gerard Guild of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. MEMBERS soon learned that the 6nemy had no preference for any particular locale but could be found anywhere - at work, in the home, at a social gathering, or quite possibly in their very midst. But who or what was alluded to by Mr. Sheehan as one of the primary causes of juvenile delinquency? The finger of guilt ultimately pointed to the lack of parental responsibility exist ing in numerous homes today. ACCORDING to Mr. Sheehan, parental responsibility is a fourfold trust. Example, ed ucation, enthusiasm and en forcement are its basic com ponents. Good parental example, he emphasized, is one of the best means for preventing juvenile delinquency because from it evolve the love and respect which youngsters carry with them into soiety. The second requisite of par ental responsibility Is to pro vide a sound moral education to youngsters in the home lest they become victims of mis guided information on the street. ENTHUSIASM, tiux is evid enced by the parents' willing ness to demonstrate a constant interest and Involvement in the hopes and problems of their children, comprises the third element of parental responsi bility, It is not sufficient to become Involved only when it D’Youville Academy Scholarship Awards Winner of a full-tuition scho larship at D’Youville Academy is Judy Dieterle of 4225 Nav ajo Trail, an eighth-grade stu dent at Our Lady of the Assum ption School.

FINALLY, Mr. Sheehan de clared that our moral convic tions are nil if we lack the courage to enforce them. To talk about wrongs in our society -one which "knows the price of everything and the value of nothing"- to simply talk and do nothing to correct undesirable situations is simultaneously senseless and negligent. We, as parents, must act and act effectively on all matters con cerning die welfare of our children, thus ridding ourselves of “the enemy down the street." At their next meeting, sche duled for Monday, April 29 at 8:00 p.m. in the Cafetorium of Immaculate Heart of Mary School, a white elephant sale will be held. Items rangingfrom ashtrays to zithers (if possible) will be auctioned to the highest bidders. Proceeds from a pre vious white elephant sale held by the Guild were contributed to the Parish Subscription Drive.
