"JUST as zealously as the Supreme Court of the United States has stricken even forms of prayer in school as a form of religious interference with matters of state," noted Judge Hocklander, "so also, as I un derstand the cases, it has stri cken attempts by the state to exact a tax on the privilege of WASHINGTON (NC) —A poll conducted by Louis Harris for the Washington Post has dis closed feeling against a Catholic as President has diminished only slightly since President Kennedy took office in 1961. According to the poll, in 1960 on a nationwide basis 30 per cent of those who said they worried about a Catholic being President has eased to 26 per cent today. WAR AND PEACE IN THE LIVES OF THE POOR CLARES THE POOR CLARES, faithful daughters of peace-loving saints Francis and Clare, must wonder about their former convent on the Via l^anisperna in Rome. In the 1870 uprising, the Sisters were driven out at bayonet point ... In 1934. the same building, now the physics laboratory of a great university, was the scene of the first successful atom-splitting experiment. There Enrico Fermi and his six assistants, working in a fountain behind the former convent, discovered and patented the secret of slow fission—key to the atom Tbt Holy Pntbor's Mission Aid bomb! ... In POYYA, in the diocese jof ibt Orisnstl Church of TRICHUR, INDIA, the Clarists still pursue their work of peace in our nuclear age. They teach the children of some 150 poor families . . . The twenty nuns have plenty of work, but no place for adequate rest or religious services. A convent was begun, but of the total $8,500 needed for its completion, they have borrowed or scraped to gether only some $4,500 . . . With little hope of obtaining more from their poor families, they seek help from far-off America. Their Superior, SISTER BERNARDINA. asks for the remaining $4,000 needed ... St. Francis prayed, “Make me an instrument of Thy peace” . . . Your generosity will enable his followers to be just that; to set off, not nuclear chain reactions, but chain reactions of grace in India! ADMISSION t FIVE CENTS ‘‘Dear Father: Five little girls, ages 8 to 10, and one boy, age 4, put on a show in my garage. It was a rainy Saturday but despite this they did a very good job of it. Admission was 5c. for children and 10c. for adults. Had it been a clear day, I am sure they would have done better. Now they want to share part of it with you and I am enclosing one dollar for your missions. I think they would like it to go to children near their age.” — Mildred T. “Dear Mildred: Thanks. And thanks to the children. We shall certainly follow their wishes!” FACTS NOT MADE UP OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH CALICO is named after CALCUTTA in India; DAMASK after DAMASCUS in Syria; MUSLIN after MOSUL in Iraq; DIMITY after DAMIETTA in Egypt!

JUDGE says Seperation Wall Has Two Sides MOBILE, Ala., (NC) — The wall of separation between church and state has two sides, including one that protects ch urches from encroachments by government, a Mobile judge commented here in exempting Alabama churches from use taxes on articles used in reli gious services. Circuit Court Judge Joseph M. Hocklander ruled in a case involving St. Mary’s church here, which protested a state bill of $407.06 for use tax on religious worship. "The wall of separation, much talked about, has two sides to it. Religion must not be aided by state legislation nor, in turn, may its practice be circumscribed by tax rest rictions which would tax the use of articles such as these direc tly and intimately connected with the worship service itself” Poll Results The Sisters of Mercy, Pro vince of Baltimore this week conduct for the third consecu tive summer a Leadership Camp in Christian Living, Au gust 13-21, at Camp Villa Ma rie, near Savannah-.

Box 11667 Nortlmde Station Atlanta 5, Georgia IN a me Address City State The letter, dated August 11, was in its content and by the Pope’s own description in the nature of a pastoral letter. As such—a papal pastoral to an in dividual diocese other than his own as Bishop of Rome—it was unique among pontifical docu ments. THE POPE began the letter by explaining how, as Arch bishop of Milan, he had estab lished the custom of writing a pastoral letter to his people on the occasion of the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Vir gin Mary into Heaven, August 15. He had done this, he said, as a kind of pre-holiday greet ing, for August 15 traditionally marks the peak of the summer vacation season in Italy. The former Giovanni Car dinal Montini said of his an nual letter: "It was a comment on cer tain aspects and events of the day; it was an attempt to cre ate a common spirutual en counter in the pious and com forting thought of the Blessed Virgin Mary in heaven; it was in short a special statement of our pastoral dialogue, which was intended to assure you of Our vigilant concern and of Our blessing." THIS "dialogue" was inter rupted, the Pope remarked, by his election to the throne of Peter. But with the return of the feast of the Assumption, and since Milan is still with out an Ordinary, he said he wanted to preserve the tradi tion unbroken. He recalled gratefully that the Milanese had been good and ge nerous to him, and remarked that it was painful for him to leave that northern metropolis "where We fkoped to end Our days." For, lie said, "one does not work and pray and hope with other*-, without sinking the sen timental roots of his soul into the soil where his ministry takes place." Then he gave the main rea son for his message, saying: "Our greater regret in this sudden farewell Is in the thought of how much of Our ministry was left unfinished in Milan... Among the many things to which We have put Our hand, more was begun than was completed." Pope Paul remarked that his successor in the Milan arch diocese will certainly see where he left off and "he will act en tirely as the Lord inspires him." "BUT, he added, "It does not seem out of place to recall . . .a few thoughts which guided Our pastoral action." These motivating thoughts form the substance of the mes sage. It is in these that the import of the message goes bey ond Milan, as they reveal the mind of the former Archbishop of Milan who is now pontiff of the Universal Church. Some 3,000 members of migrant worker families come to the New Ulm, Minn., diocese each summer from Texas to work in. the sugar beet fields, earning a meager living, and often with poor housing conditions. Living in a world of their own, these Espino youngsters dance while others play in the farmyard in front of the shack in which the migrant family is housed. The migrant workers’ average annual in come is $819. The family size averages 6,5 persons. The Pope said: "We had the impression from the very beginning of Our min istry there (in Milan ) that the conditions of our society were leading the status of its relig ious life into a state. . .of dan— ger and crisis. . . "We could see the wealth of religious tradition threatened with decline and ruin. They were threatend not only externally hit also internally because of a change and a breakdown in the popular awareness of that sound religious mentality and of that traditional fidelity to the Chur ch which are the basis and sour ce of that wealth. The measure of Our convern was proporti onate to the worth of the spiri tual heritage of which We found Ourself the responsible admin istrator." THE POPE insisted that this OBITUARIES Mrs. Probasco A Requiem Mass was offered last Friday at St. Joseph’s Church, Marietta, for Mrs. Evelyn Austgen Probasco of 105 Hicks Drive, Marietta, who died August 7.

He recalled too that "Our conclusions were directed to ward reawakening consciences, encouraging efforts, recom mending undertakings, sugges ting projects, as if there was not time to lose and every one of good will should revive him self with renewed activity and militant courage because of a special need of salvation. "Our age is decisive. It calls for intensity of efforts It in vests us in a vocation of de fense and renewal. It demands the fidelity and the sacrifice of great moments. "Our priests have already felt this call for extraordinary pastoral dedication. They will do well to follow it. Our laity would do well to do the same. "OUR AGE deserves a pro found effort toward the inter ior life, toward thought and act ion, not only to protect the spi ritual treasure that traditon has handed down to us, but also to show its incomparable worth, its perennial vitality, its sur prising reality, its marvelous youth and its inexhaustible pro ductivity. "The Gospel, We have said before, is not old; it is eter nal. But today, it must be lived fully, with a new conscious ness of its originality and of its necessity, and with new ded ication." The Pope gave practical pas toral recommendations: "Preaching must be clear, true and vigorous. The people must be taught to participate in the liturgy; they must be taught to pray singing. Oir whole catechetical system must be strengthened and developed. Immigrants must be approach ed. There Is special need that people in the world of labor and the academic world know that they are loved by the Church and that they be drawn into new friendship with her."
