i 4-1VJU 6 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1963 IN BASEBALL Cathode Profiles BY RONDEL "Meenie just come to play balL You throw the beesboll, I heet it. You heet it, I catch eet.” That's Minnie Minoso’s simple explanation of how to play baseball, A twelve year veteran of the American League baseball wars, Mlnoso spent a few brief months on the other side of the fence, playing outfield for the St. Louis Cardinals. Though he rarely makes the head lines Minoso is a ball players ball player. He plays baseball with the bubbling enthusiasm of a little lea guer. Minnie is a teamplayer, fluid at bat and in the field and always willing to sacrifice himself for the team. TWICE IN his illustrious career he has suffered injuries serious enough to force many players into retirement. Once breaking his collarbone and the > I other time seriously breaking his arm running into a concrete fence while chasing a fly ball. - ' «?v Throughout his career the quiet spoken Cuban Negro has been underrated as a player. He has fine all-around speed and it is not uncommon to see him steal in the neighborhood of 30 bases. Three times in his sparkling tenure Orestes Minnie Minoso has led the American League in stolen bases. He is one of a rapidly diminishing breed of .300 hitters and holds a lifetime swat mark of .306. MINNIE MINOSO ST. JOHN’S MELKITE Pastor, Father William Haddad, honored the members of St. John’s Altar and Rosary Society at a luncheon Sunday, June 23, at the Americana Motel. The occasion marked the ninth anniversary of Father Haddad’s pastorate. He is leaving July 8 to visit Rome and Lebanon, returning in September.

Shikany, Mrs. Francis Shikany, Mrs. Charles Maloof, Miss Charlene Maloof, Miss Renee Azar, Mrs. Gene Maloff, Miss Shirley Shikany, Miss ADELE Daher, Mrs. W. M. Maloof. MINOSO is a well travelled veteran, having seen action with Cleveland, the White Sox, and the Cardinals. COURT RULING Now with the Washington Senators of the AL, Minnie is a fine example for the younger ballplayers. Even tempered and always, calm Minnie will perhaps, make a fine manager one day. Approaching the 40 mark Minnie can look back over his fabulous carrer and cite many examples of humor and spectacle. For instance, Minoso is one of the only ballplayers in major league history to serve two terms with two different clubs. When he came up as a rookie he broke in with the Clev. Indians who immediately traded him to the Whitt Sox where he spent seven years before the Indians re-acquired him via a trade. He toiled with the Teejpee nine for a pair of seasons and then found himself back in Sox flannels when Chicago Vice President Bill Veeck made a move to strengthen the Pale Hose. ALWAYS a courageous ballplayer as evidenced by the fact that he played almost a third of the season for the Cards with his jaw wired after splitting his head open in a bout with a fence, he is also a determined athlete. Never too tired to stop and give a small boy an autograph, you will often find Minnie lingering around the park for well over an hour signing balls and talking with young admirers. Thirteen years have not changed Minoso much. He is virtually the same man that came too the big leagues. Success has only made him more appreciative of the opportunity he received in playing baseball. IN HIS own words Minnie says, "It has helped me meet so many people and learn so many things, in addition to promoting goodwill.” And goodwill he has promoted. Everwhere he goes, he always has a kind word. Not a bora leader, Minnie was the leader in quite a humorous incident a few years ago while a member of the Chicago club. He had been in a slump for over a week and finally when he went hitless in the first game of a doubleheader he went in and took a shower with all his clothes on, chiding his teammates by saying he was chasing away all the evil spirits in his uniform. In the second game he collected three hits, two homers and a double, while the Sox lost. Immediately after the game the entire White Sox squad followed Minnie’s first game ritual and headed for the showers, fully clothed.

S. school districts will be affected by the Supreme Court ruling holding unconstitutional Bible readings and the recitation of the Lord's Prayer as devotional acts in the public schools. The effect will be felt greatest in the South and East where, traditionally, a great majority of schools opened the day’s pro gram with prayer or Bible pass ages. BECAUSE most educators, churchmen and journalists had accurately forecast the Court’s decision, the ruling occasioned no great surprise. The decision came at an opportune time — the period when most of the nat ion’s school children were to begin long summer vacations. For that reason there would be no "abrupt halt” to tradit ions ruled to be unconstitutional as "religious ceremonies.*’ In most cases, the change in pro cedure would occur 10 or more weeks away, in September when the 1963-64 school year begins. Most state education officials promised quick adherence to the Court’s ruling. Others asked at torneys general and law ad visers for interpretations. IN South Carolina, however, DESPITE DANGERS COLORADO SPRINGS (NC) —Federal support for all col leges, private as well as pub lic, has become essential even though it will create some pro blems, a Catholic educator told a conference on higher educat ion here. "While the dangers of undue Federal control in higher edu cation will always be im minent," declared Father Paul C. Reinert, S. J., President of St. Louis (Mo) University, "Federal support of all higher education and in particular, private colleges and universit ies, is imperative if we are to maintain a strong and effective educational system.” FATHER Reinert said that WASHINGTON, D. C. (RNS) FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover will be honored by the Catho lic Youth of America at the 7th annual National CYO Con vention here. He will receive the gold 'Pro Deo et Juventute’ (For God and Youth) Award at a banquet on Nov. F6, MSGR. Frederick J. Steven son, director of the youth de partment, National Catholic Welfare Conference, said Mr. Hoover was to be cited for "his the state’s education leader said he intended to ignore the decis ion. "It’s rather regrettable that the matter has come up,’’ said Jesse Anderson, state superin tendent of education. "South Carolina will continue to feel free to do in each school or classroom the normal thing which the teacher feels should be done,” he said. Mr. Anderson noted that the state has no legislation or re gulation requiring school pray ers . However, he added, the prayers are said In many schools throughout the state. In Pennsylvania, Dr. Charles H. Boehm, superintendent of public instruction, said "we in terpret this decision to mean the elimination of religious ser vices and ritual, but God and re ligion will remain in the sc hools.” HE told newsmen he would recommend that Pennsylvania schools begin their opening ex ercises with a period of silent meditation, followed by inspir ational music, art or literature. "This opening period,” he said, "should accent our heri tage, aspirations, great mom ents in our history, beauty in undersirable Federal control would arise out of financial ra ther than governmental power. The danger would lie in having "only one source of money,” he said. He conceded that sc hools seeking Federal funds for their programs are open at a "Spontaneous and willing redi rection of academic effort" that could result in their nationali zation. The St. Louis University pre sident urged that American col leges present a unified policy to Federal and state authorities. He also suggested that college leaders be named to a commis sion of higher education advi sers to the President. His re marks were made at a Dan- forth Foundation workshop at Colorado College here. 39 years of courageous and brilliant service to the nation.” "Throughout his notable ca reer," Jje spid, "in war and peace, whether combatting crime and its influence on our youth or exposing communism and its evils. Previous winner of the CYO award have included Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, former President Harry S. Truman, and Richard Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston. all its forms, and ethical and moral values.” Dr. Boehm added that "we- are going to consult with sch olars from the four major re ligions, and other scholars, on important matters to religion and the curriculm" to cope with the Court’s edict. (Pennsylvania was one of the states involved in the Court’s decision; it has long had a law promoting Bible readings in the public schools.) To "fulfill. . .our responsi bility for bringing to the at tention of our students moral and spiritual values,” Dr. Boehm named the following re ligious leaders to assist in the selection of materials for the proposed inspirational period: Msgr. Edward T. Hughes, superintendent of schools for the Roman Catholic Arch diocese of Philadelphia; Dr. Solomon B. Freehof of Rodef Shalom Temple, Pittsburgh; Dr. J. Charles McKirachan, pastor of the Pine Street Presbyter ian church, Harrisburg; and Professor John Ramanides of Holy Cross Greek Ortho dox Theological Seminary, Brookline, Mass. IN New York City, where a reading of a passage from the Bible is mandatory each day under a Board of Education re gulation, school officials said the decision of the Supreme Co urt "must be obeyed.” Boty state and city educators with held further comment until they had completed study of the de cision. One reputable survey in dicated that a large percentage of American school districts followed some type of "relig ious ceremony” as a daily open ing exercise. Richard B. Dier- enfield, associate professor of education at Macalester Col lege, St. Paul, Minn., indicated in Religion in American Pub lic Schools (Public Affairs Press) that: 1. More than half (50.24 per cent) of some 4,000 public sc hool superintendents inter viewed said their schools held "homeroom devotional ser vices"; and 2. Forty-one percent of these superintendents said that "Bible reading" was conducted in the schools. According to his study, the practices were heaviest in the East and South. "Devotional services” were held in 88.69 per cent of the southern sch ools checked, 80.16 per cent of eastern schools; 25.95 per cent of midwestem ?chools, and only 8.62 per cent in western sc hools. Bible reading figures showed: South, 76.84 per cent; East, 67.56; Midwest, 18.26; and West,, 11.03. A recent report by the Ameri can Jewish Committee also showed that 11 states requried prayer or Bible reading through law or regulation and 15 "per- ‘mitted” such practices. Only ten forbade the pro grams. Private College Aid Called ‘Imperative’ FBI Head Gets CYO Award ROME THEOLIGIAN Priestly Approach Needs Council Pastoral Emphasis ST. LOUIS (NC) — A re nowned moral theologian from Rome said here a priest’s ap proach to penance and penitents should stress love of Christ ra ther than an outmoded legalism. Father Bernard Haring, C.SS.R., of the Redemptorist -Fathers* Alfonsiana Academy, Rome, said priests, especially theologians, should heed the change toward a stronger pas toral approach stemming from the Second Vatican Council. SPEAKING to the 18th an nual convention of the Catholic Theological Society, Father Haring, a "peritus” or expert at the council, said the Church’s ■ "self-understanding” was at the heart of the assembly of bishops. "To theologian^*,” he said, "this means that the moral message must be a witness of the true nature of the Church,” he said. J., professor of patristics at Woodstock (Md.) College, a major Jesuit seminary. FATHER Burghardt, in an interview, warned of a dehu manized theology. "One of the complaints made against theo logy.” he said, "is that it is horribly intellectual in a bad sense—an intellectual dis cipline that feeds only the mind.” Theological truths, he said, should not be divorced from the men they were intended to guide to salvation. He suggested that close study of the early Fathers of the Ch urch might help close what some see as a gap between spiritu ality and theology. "In the way the Fathers of the Church treat theology there is never any question that they are treating only a thing or a truth,” he said. ‘*They never divorce truth from the thing it goes with." CHARGES ‘DISTORTIONj AMA Chief Hits Catholic Press "The whole message must be Christo-centric. And it must be said emphatically that moral theology cannot consider man only as under an external law. "Decisively, the moral mes sage has to consider the truth that Christ is living in us and we are living in Him. All moral exegesis must pour forth from this very effect,” he said. CHURCH laws and regulat ions, he said, should be based on the Church’s understanding of herself as a community of love. "The juridical struc ture must be a witness of this love. Canon law must be re formed in such a way that it expresses very clearly that the Church is a community of love.” For example, he said, he thinks new legislation is needed regarding mixed marriages. "It must be a very clear witness that the Church has love—not only for her members, but for other Christians. And whatever the Church imposes must not be imposed arbitrarily but in such a way that it helps Chris tians in love—a love of unity.” The Redemptorist’s stress on the pastoral as opposed to the legal was commented upon by another convention participant, Father Walter J. Burghardt, S. Maronite Pastor Visits Lebanon Father Joseph Abi-Nader, pastor of St. Joseph’s Maronite Church, Atlanta, will visit Le banon this summer, leaving July 18 from New York. Father Joseph came to the United States In 1958 to assume the pastorate of St. Joseph's. He also teaches religion at St. Pius X High School and is a member of the archdiocesan school board. Last September Father Joseph dedicated his church with the solemn ceremonies and festivities of the Maronite Rite. His Beatitude, Paul Peter Me- ouchi, Maronite Patriarch of Antioch and All the East, who was in this country to dedicate the Moronite Seminary in Wash ington, D. C., was present, as was Archbishop Paul J. Hall- inan. Father Joseph will visit his mother and his brothers and sisters in Lebanon and will also go to Paris, Rome and the Holy Land. He will have a private audience with His Beatitude, the Maronite Patriarch and will present him with an album of pictures taken while he was de dicating St. Joseph’s. The parish is planning a fare well party, which will take place in the Social Hall. Lamar Munroe, City Fire Dept. A funeral Mass was said at St. Anthony's Church on June 29 for Mr. Lamar E. Munroe. Msgr. James E. King officiat ed. Pallbearers were Mr. Mun- roe’s associates in the Atlanta Fire Department, led by Chief Joseph H. Wright. Mr. Munroe is survived by his wife and his children, L. E. Munroe, Jr., John Kell Munroe and Mrs. Gordon Cumbaa. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (NC) — The president of the Ameri can Medical Association has ac cused the Catholic press cf dis tortion in what he said has been criticism of the AMA’s fight against Medicare. Dr. Edward R. Annis of Miami charged some Catholic editors with being so 'firmly fixed in their new socialist philo sophies’’ that they "will not lis ten to our point of view." MEDICARE is the label given President Kennedy’s proposal to finance certain hospital costs for aged out of Social Security. The AMA has fought the pro gram vigorously, claiming it amounts to government in terference in medical affairs and is socialism. _Dr. Annis was interviewed here a- } die Star Herald, news paper of the Camden, N. J., diocese. 1 . At his request, he re viewed a May 25 editorial in the paper entitled "The Empty House of AMA." Indicating the editorial, Dr. Annis said: "This is typical of the distortion in the Catholic press. They are ignorant of the position of American medicine and firmly fixed in their soci alist philosophies. These people are so firmly fixed in their view they won’t even listen to our point of view.” DR. ANNIS, who, like the AMA’s president-elect Dr. Norman Welch of Boston, was trained in Catholic schools, said that "repeatedly in some of the Catholic press—the only ones taking me to task—ignorance makes them say we are totally wrong.” Medicare, said Dr. Annis, is a "swindle," a "fraud," and a "political product which does not provide true medical care." The physician attacked par ticularly writings he attributed to Msgr. George Higgins, dir ector of the Social Action Department of the National Cat holic Welfare Conference, Washington, D. C. HE SAID that Msgr. Higgins’ writings reflect the thinking of labor leaders and what he de scribed as the efforts of these leaders to dominate American medicine. (In Washington, where he was asked for comment, Msgr. Hig gins said he thought Dr. Annis was referring to an article he wrote last year for Extension magazine, Chicago. The Arti cle's thesis was that while peo ple could disagree with Medi care, they could not fairly la bel it as socialism. (Asked about the charge that his writings reflect the thinking of labor leaders, the monsignor said that if Dr. Annis has made up his mind that this is true, nothing will change it.) Referring to articles by some Catholic writers who he said are "totally ignorant of Ameri can medicine or are deliber ately ignoring it,” Dr. Annis said they are trying to force their own personal philosophy and ideology on Catholic men and women "who have been led to believe that truth is to be found in the Catholic press." "WE DON’T object to con troversy, to those who disa gree with us,” he said, "but what we object to is the edi torial writer who pontificates against a point of view which they don’t even bother to check from authoritiative sources." Dr. Annis father of eight children, is a native of Det roit who graduated from the Marquette University Medical School in 1938 and has been par- cticing medicine in Florida since then. He is a member of Corpus Christi parish, Miami, and has been active in Florida Catholic lay organizations for more than two decades. HE SAID that Msgr. Higgins’ writings reflect the thinking of labor leaders and what he described as the efforts of these leaders to dominate American medicine. FAIR OAKS CLEANERS & LAUNDRY 1506 ATLANTA ROAD SMYRNA.
