In addlton to his studies, he has been doing some Italian translation for me during these days.

Father Mc Manus and I walk over to St. Peter's for Mass each morn ing. Monday I was assigned to the altar, directly in back of the main altar, known as the Chair of St. Peter; Tuesday, an even greater privilege was mine, offering Mass at the t omb of St. Peter, in a tiny chapel, just above the recent excava tions. But today, May 1, the feast day of St. Joseph the Worker, Mass was celebrated at one of the many "ordinary altars" In St. Peter's but it was far from ordinary, because it was offered for all of our people in the archdiocese. Then at noon, the papal audience was a moving experience indeed. The man who sits in the chair of the chief of the apostles, the man who convoked the Second Vat ican Council and inspired the world with the encyclical, as ked each of his bishops where they were from. Then he card- fully repeated the name of the place, "Atlanta. . .Georgia..."

Macrina, eigh th grade teacher at St. Peter's School, instructed her class to compose a prayer thanking God for establishing the Church. Some students were per plexed, so Sister Macrina ex plained; "All you have to do is think about what the Church has meant to you, and then talk it over with Our Lord. Prayer Golden Lines Get New Award St. Pius X’s prize winning newspaper Golden Lines has received the highest award for school publications i n the state of Georgia.

St. Pius X is also the first Catholic school to re ceive the award. The awarding prizes took place in the Uni versity of Georgia's Henry W.

Glanc ing down at the "prayers," this one caught her attention: "Dear God, "You know I am fine and I'm sure You are okay. Last night we played our first ball game. I was hoping You would be in fluencing it a little bit. "Before I forget, 1 want to thank You for establishing Your Church. If it weren’t for my belonging to the Church and be ing a Catholic, there is no tell ing what I might turn out to be. Do You realize that if You hadn’t suffered and died on the Cross, I would probably end up in limbo? "Sister didn't give us much time on this, so bye.

The sessions of the congresa were held at Apostles College in Jounieh, about 20 miles from Beirut. Catholic Protest Missouri Discrimination On Buses ST. LOUIS, Mo. (RNS) — A drive to transfer students of Roman Catholic parochial schools to public schools gained momentum here following the Missouri legislature's re jection of a bill to provide bus transportation to pupils of ch urch-related institutions. Proponents of the campaign said they were acting to "dra matize" the school bus issue and to point up the House of Representatives' decision to kill the bill in committee. THE drive began at Center- town, Mo., just outside the state capital at Jefferson City, where Catholic parents registered 75 children in the public schools. Other communities outside Jefferson City and St. Louis experienced the same shift of pupils — from parochial to public schools. It was reported that similar action was planned in the following communities: Fenton, Ballwin, Eureka, Val ley Park, Pacific, Gray Sum mit, Sullivan, Washington, Union and High Ridge — all within the general metropolitan area of St. Louis. Organizers of the demon stration in the St. Louis area said Catholic parents were be ing asked to register their chil dren for the fall term, not for the few remaining weeks of the current semester. GARLAND Noonan of Pacific, Mo., a member of the Frank lin County Committee for Equal Bus Transportation, said that the pupil shift could add about 2,000 students to the county's public school enrollment. The movement, he said, "is gaining rapid support” from Catholic parents in nine com munities. He estimated that 90 per cent of the parochial pup ils in the area would register at the public schools. Mr. Noonan said the campaign was Inspired by parents and had no connection with the St. Louis archdiocese or the pastors of the parochial schools involved. A spokesman for Joseph Car dinal Ritter, Archbishop of St. Louis, said the prelate had no comment. It was pointed out that Cardinal Ritter had not taken a public stand on the bus tran sportation bill killed by the House Committee. MSGR. James T. Curtin, sup erintendent of diocesan and par ochial schools, said the first knowledge he had of the move ment came from news reports. "We must regard this," he said, "as a private action of indivi duals. We as school officials feel we are not in a position to interfere with this private action of individuals. "Parents as citizens are free to seek what in their estimation is best for their children." Dr. Stanley L Stuber, exe cutive director of the Misso uri Council of Churches, charg ed that the movement was "ir responsible" and called on Cardinal Ritter and other Cat holic bishops to "take a stand." "MANY feel these irrespon sible protests against the vote of the House Judiciary Com mittee could not take place with out the official sanction of the Church," he said, adding that the "emotional pressure action was something every danger ous." "If Catholic parents want to create better relations between their Church and the rest of the community, let them accept fully and gladly the school laws of the state on a creative, hon est basis," Dr. Stuber stat ed. Dr. Stuber and James P. Cox, head of the Missouri Committee for Equal Bus Transportation, exchanged telegrams on the question. In his wire, Dr. Stuber re ferred to die drive as "your irresponsible campaign." CAIP Meeting Washington, M.y 3 {nc> — The 36th annual conference of the Catholic Association for International Peace will beheld September 26 to 29 at the She raton Park Hotel here. MR. COX replied that "par ents are demonstrating to show that they are not second-class citizens. . .check credits un til heart's desire. You will find students from parochial schools 15 per cent above those of their public school's counterparts. Deplore your entire action in this campaign. . ." Joseph A. Blume, president of the St. Louis Federated Ch apter of Citizens for Educat ional Freedom, said his organ ization, which advocates aid to parochial schools, is not involv ed in the parents' protests. "But I am in complete sympathy with them," he stated. Mr. Noonan told the press that "some of our people feel that if the legislature won’t spend $24.50 for the busses, they'll let the state spend $600 yo edu cate the children." The prices were a reference to the cost of a child’s bus transportation for a year ag ainst the average annual cost In Missouri of educating a child in public school. AT WARDSVILLE, the public school district was advised that 100 parochial school students wished to enroll. Henry Boeffen, chairman of the public school board, said two busses would be assigned to carry the Wardsville group to the Osage Bend Public School, a two-room unit with a normal enrollment of 65. He said the extra pupils could find classroom space In the basement and that an extra te acher would be added to the staff through transfer. Missouri's Gov. John M. Dal ton declined comment on the situation. Previously he had said he had not taken sides on the school bus issue because the question was one for the legis lature to decide. THE HOUSE Judiciary Com- mettee had killed the proposal by a vote of 19 to 8 after hold ing lengthy hearings. Estimated to cost $1,526,816 per biennium, the measure would have allowed children at tending parochial or private schools to ride public school buses. Similar bills have been rejected by the legislature In the past. Nearly 1,000 proponents and about 700 opponents appeared before the committee during hearings on the bill. The pro ponents contended it was cons titutional as a public health and safety measure and did not in volve separation of Church and State.
