> V *AGE 6 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1963 WORLD EFFORT U.S. Scientific Group Asks Family Planning WASHINGTON(NC) — A Nat ional Academy of Sciences committee has called for step ped-up efforts—including U.S. government involvement — to promote family planning pro grams throughout the world. A 38-page report issued last week by the academy's Com mittee on Science and Public Policy said expanding world population is a barrier to an improved standard of living. STATING that if world pop ulation continues to grow at its present rate there will be more than 25 billion people in the world by 2070, the report, entitled "The Growth of Work Population," says: "Such rapid population grow th, which is out of proportion to present and prospective rat es of increase in economic development, imposes a heavy burden on all efforts to improve human welfare." The report says population grow th is "an international pro blem" and adds: "This pro blem can be successfully at tacked by developing new me thods of fertility regulation, and implementing programs of voluntary family planning wide ly and rapidly throughout the world." training and research pro grams, the committee report continues: "INTERNATIONAL cooper ation in studies concerned with voluntary fertility regulation and family planning is highly desirable, and the United Stat es government should actively participate in fostering such cooperation, working in coor dination with appropriate agen cies of the United Nations sy stem whenever possible, and with other intergovernmental and nongovernmental organiza tions whenever appropiate.

THE National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonpro fit organization which elects its members from among lead ing U.S. scientists. It was est ablished by an act of Congress in 1863 and has as one of its functions to advise the Federal government upon request on scientific and technical matt ers. The report on world pop ulation was prepared by spe cial panel on population pro blems brought together by the academy’s Committee on Scie nce and Public Policy. Panel members were William D. Me Elroy, chairman, Johns Hopkins University; Willard Al lens, the Washington Univer sity; Bernard Berelson, the Population Council; Ansley Coale, Princeton University; Harold Dorn, National Instit utes of Health; Clement L.

It has attained the rating of All- American for the *62-*63 per iod. The National Scholastic Press Association has placed the newspaper In this category, the highest award which the association offers. Such an achievement officially places the paper among top pub lications in the country. This, however, is notthefirst award that the school’s news paper has received. The '60- '61 publication achieved a rat ing of First Class which is the second highest title to re ceive. The same association conferred this title on the news paper. James Mengert and Theresa Sullivan held the ed itor and assistant editor pos itions from *60-*62. In 1962 the Columbia Schol astic Press Association of New York's Columbia University a- warded top prize of First Place to the paper. The rating points resulted from a study of what constitutes the TYPICAL NEWSPAPER. It represents an official rating. Awarding First Honors to the ‘59-'60 publication was the Cat holic Press Association. The following year brought the first place title of All-Catholic to Golden Lines. Once again and for the second consecutive year, the paper has gained the All- Catholic title. Quill and Scroll, an inter national honorary society for high school journalists, award ed the International First Place Award to Golden Lines in 1962. The award was bestowed on newspapers of substantial achievements. Best for Budgets and WaisHines too...

Golden Lines is well known for Its editorial content. In 1962 the Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, conferred an editorial award on the newspaper. There were only twenty papers in the coun try to receive this award. James Mengert’s "At What Price This Vague, Fleeting Peace?" was the winning editorial. From the infant Trumpet of 1959 to the adult Golden Lines ai 1963 the school publication has travelled. And with it have passed on its editors and val uable staff members. Elizabeth Matthews edited the Trumpet. Following her came George Reddeln and Kathleen Lombardi to edit the new Golden Lines. James Mengert and Theresa Sullivan followed and retained their positions for an additional year. This year’s editors ar< John Mlllkey and Florence Walsh, Hugh O'Donnell and Lin da Evart, Assistant Editors, Others are Sandra Mames Milam Magraw, Thomas Hug hes, Dennis Bishop and Betty Ann Putnam. The ’63 staff has followed its predecessors by achieving similar awards snd titles, and most likely Its suc cessors will repeat the outstan ding performance.

DEDICATED TO OUR LADY IN BASEBALL Catholic Profiles BY RONDEL James Anthony Piersall is perhaps the most colorful ana controversial ballplayer in the big leagues today. A man unstirred by his surroundings Piersall plays with an Intensity and ferocity un-matched by any of his fellow major leagures. THROUGH he had a rough season last year, the courage ous father of eight was still an aid to the lowly Washington Senators via his superb fielding talents. Last year, like every year since his arrival on the major league scene in 1952, Piersall’s antics were enough to jar sob ersided Washington fans out of their stupor. During his early years with Boston and his later episodes with the Cleveland Indians, there was some doubt as to Pier sall’s value to the club. Brash Jimmy dispelled all doubters with the fantastic season he enjoyed during the *61 campaign. EVEN though he was continuing his harassing, prankish, and sometimes childish antics Piersall managed to swat the horse- hide at a .322 clip while leading the loop In fielding. League Of Charity Assists His antics on the field make it hard to judge him strictly as a ballplayer, but he’s all heart. When this darkly handsome 32 year old centerfielder takes his position, he is a living sign of courage and determination. Cubans To Resettlement In 1954 Jimmy was on the verge of a complete mental break down and collapse. It was though he would never play ball again. However, as soon was fit again he was back in uniform. The i_eague of our Lady of Charity is an appropriate tit le, for it identifies the patron ess of Cuba and associates the League with the needs of the Cu ban Community of Atlanta. The idea and concept of the League first presented itself to Father Marian Shuk in his work. It was obvious that, on the arrival of Father Shuk, no Catholic Organization was ade quately functioning to meet all of the Immediate and future material and spiritual needs of the Latin-American Community in Atlanta. Although, there were undoubtedly many individuals carrying on private and indep endent charity, no central, or ganized Catholic group was pre pared to handle the over-all requirements of the Cuban fam ily as it arrived in Atlanta. FATHER Shuk, as Chaplain, and the only Spanish speaking priest was beseiged with calls for all forms of assistance, at all hours of the day and night. This not only detracted from the Immediate effectiveness of Fa ther Shuk, as spiritual adviser, but also interfered with the or derly operations of the Parish House at Immaculate Concep tion Church where Father Shuk resides. To add to these difficulties was Father Shuk's lack of fami liarity with the Atlanta Commu nity. This was frustrating not only to the Priest but also to his people because there was no place to turn to seek the necessary Immediate material help. IT WAS not uncommon to find Father calling on bank pre sidents, for available employ ment, or carrying furniture, or begging clothes and the many other material needs for his people. The small group of lay vol unteers who assisted Father Shuk to the best of their abi lity also continued to recognize not only the needs of the situ ation but that there were many others desirous of offering help but lacked the facility through which to channel this much need aid. In addition to this Immediate situation, the group realized a twofold problem: First, the long range and over-all problem of orientating the Cubans, for their needs were not that of an or dinary American family. There Is the basic language difficul ties, as well as the cultural and background differences which, unless handled properly could create serious future soc ial problems for the family and the community. Second, the task of educating the Community to the type of assistance nec essary to alleviate the needs of the Cuban family. THE ORGANIZED Diocesan groups having the type of gene ral experience and the facilit ies to help faced the difficult task of orientating themselves to the type of assistance called for. In addition, these organiz ations were separated and therefore unable to carry on the organized and specialized type of work that was required, or a broad scale, not to mention the heavy burden that two or three of these cases could put on the financial, as well as the man power, sources of any one organization. Sacred Heart Conference was perhaps one of the closest to this situation because of its tr ansient location and the number of Latin families settled in the low rent area of the Techwood Apartments, which afforded ample housing accommodations for the newly arrived families. To meet the Immediate needs, Sacred Heart Conference estab lished within its own group a committee whose responsibility is work solely with the Latin cases. As a result, this committee saw the need to clos ely coordinate its activities with those of Father Shuk and de velop a program that would not only relieve Sacred Heart Con ference of a chaotic, If not impossible, assignment but al so relieve Father of the time- consuming task of caring for the material needs of his charges. THE COORDINATION of the activities of Father and Sacred Heart Conference enabled them to map what amounted to a plan of action. This small group, calling upon the experience of each person In the group, be gan a plan of action that, at first, found it establishing im- immediate, temporary living quarters for the newly arrived families. This necessitated food, furniture, clothing and medical care when needed, seeking employment for the husband /or wife, besides the monthly payments of rent and utilities. Included within this Marist Student Gets Scholarship Marist School principal, Rev. Andrew McCormack, S.M. an nounced that James B. Burk holder, Jr., a senior at Mao ist, has been awarded a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) scholarship to villanova University near Phil adelphia. A transfer student from Po wer Memorial Academy in New York City, James Is the son of Colonel and Mrs. James B. Burkholder, Sr., of Fort Mc Pherson. The NROTC grant came through the state of Penn sylvania which the Burkhold ers call home. Th scholarship resulted from successful grades In the qualifying test taken last Dec ember. Fureher, James under went a thorough board made the final choice. plan was the availability of the highly successful English con versation groups sponsored by the CFM (Catholic Family Movement) groups. However, it continued to be apparent that a main, central place of operation was need ed, where the activities of everyone participating in this effort could be coordinated. Ab out two months ago, one of the temporary residences, a small but adequate house at 1263 Lyle Place, rented and maintained by Sacred Heart Conference, became vacant. This was an opportunity Father and his group immediately recognized and turned to the task of est ablishing diis residence as an office and a center of operation. The financial assistance of Sa cred Heart Conference enabl ed the house to be maintained, and with the donations from Marist College of office equip ment, the little house began to function on a very limited basis. A Board of Governors was es tablished, of those Individuals who had worked with Father or the Cabans during the last two years, whose responsibility it is to guide and run die act ivity. THE BOARD, comprised of nine members, appointed co- chairmans, Father Shuk and Mr. Joseph Murphy; and recognizing certain basic and pressing needs, established active com mittees and named their heads: 1. A Personal Aid Committee under Mr. Frank Campbell has established a. A Clothing Committee under Mrs. Margarfre Oberg. b. A Furniture Committee 2. A House Committee under Mrs. Alice Murphy and Mrs. Margarite Oberg, who are re sponsible for the maintenance and staffing of the house. 3. A Health Committee under Joseph A. Wilber, M.D. 4. An Educational and Infor mation Committee under Mr, Paul Tralna offering English classes four nights per week. We recognize that much re mains to be done, but we also know that much has been ac complished to date. The future of such an organization rests to a great degree In the spirt and motivation of those whe work with it. Perhaps, its great est virtues are to be found in Its reasons for existence: 1. A coordinated and centrally controlled program (which has relieved Father Marian Shuk of the material burdens) assisting with the spiritual and material needs of the La tin-Am e r leans in Atlanta. 2. A coordinated and centrally controlled program center through which food, clothing, furniture, and other material assistance can be made avail able to all Catholic Organizat ions, for all purposes (not lim ited to Latln-Amerleans), In At lanta, at a greatly reduced over head and cost. 3. Finally, but by no means last, to Inculcate the spirit and the alms of Frederic Oz- anam, the founder of the St. Vincent de Paul Society: 1. to bear witness to Ch rist and to His Church by showing that the faith of Christiana inspire* them to work for the good of humanity; He defied not only the doctors’ reports, but the unmerciful taunts of the heartless fans who hit below the belt with the most cutting kind of personal jeering they knew. Piersall loves to win and pushes himself savagely toward that end, which often causes his tension and emotional problems. He loves to let off steam evidenced by the fact that he led the American league in fines last season as he has done .for four of the previous six campaigns. HE RATTLES other ballplayers with his constant steam of jabbering, but often rattles his own teammates and coaches. EXiring the 1960 season it got so bad that the Cleveland team held a meeting which resulted in Piersall being sent home for a two-week rest in the care of a physician. Jimmy himself says, "If they'd just let me play ball." He actually does no more than irritate opposing players, and stir up irate fans. We agree, he does pull off some prankish stunts, such as the 1952 incident where he squirted an umpire with a water pistol when he called a third strike on him, but he draws the fans. Hie fans come to boo him, jeer him, taunt him, praise him. But each and every baseball buff knows the value of Jimmy's presence. Few under-estimate him and even fewer knock him. Alfield Piersall is on a par with Mays, Mantle, Pinson, you name them. At bat he is steadily improving and is fast becoming an ideal second place hitter by learning the art of hit and run hitt ing. Piersall's antics may not be to your liking but you can't knock his ballplaying. He's sincere and his bursts of emotion and fits of rage are not put on. They're genuine, unrehearsed and ori ginal. Never in ail his years of trial and torment has James Anthony Piersall ever given up hope. Once before he battled back. He wrote a best-seller about his mental illness and his fight to overcome it, "Fear Strikes Out.” Piersall is a fine example of a dedicated ballplayer. He gets the job done, what more can you ask? There are a lot of cool professional politicians down along President Kennedy's "New Frontier" in Washington D. C. And there is one, and only one hot-headed professional ball player who can out-talk them all, and that's Jim Piersall. Dalrii Queen 6ANAN4 GOOD ^ THRU APRIL 28th PRICE 40< O WE PACK SU.
