They act as emissaries of Our Lord carrying His command that' we love our neighbor as ourself.

I trust they will be generously dealt with and contributions made with a view to give a fair share of support to our extensive work."

"And this brings us to a new field of Catholic Charity. Wa have always been concerned for handicapped children" those par­ ticularly who happen to be men­ tally retarded. It has been our ' , privilege these past two years to share In work .sponsored by our Diocesan Council of Catholio Women In their 'behalf. The work is quite demanding'. The need is widespread.

Attleboro Church Blessing Scheduled at 7 Tonigh~ His Excellency M 0 s t Rev. James L. Connolly, D.O., will bless St. Theresa's Church In South Attleboro at 7 tonight.

A stranger passing' by this new ehurch today, a newcomer to this section, can little know what this property was like 32 years ago, when the parish was found­ ed. How things have changed!

In 1923 the .Most Rev. Bishop of Fall River, then His Excellency Most Rev. Daniel F. Feehan, 0.0, purchased a piece of land di­ vided into building lots situated on Washington Street at the comer of Baltic Street. junction of Mendon Road. The land was situated six ml1es from the cen­ ter of Attleboro, and about a half mile from Pawtucket. A good part of the land was under water several months of the year because a brool~ ran through the property.

Mass in Restaurant On October I, 1925 the first pastor. the Rev. Joseph Larue arrived; but only after many inquiries as to where the proper­ ty was. There 'was no church. no rectory. The first concel'll of a pastor is to find a meeting place for his people. At that time there wasn't a single hall in South Attleboro. However. C h a r 1e s O'Connor offered the use of his restaurant. The first Mass then was said Oil Oct. 4, 1925 in the O'Connor Restaurant. Vestments were loaned for the occasion by St. Joseph's ChuI'ch in Attleboro; a showcase covered with a white cloth served as an altaI', and the people stood around the priest

while he said Mass. In 1925 was the year 'of the canonization of the Little Flower of Carmel. so the Pastor asked that the new parish be named '·St. Theresa of the Child Jesus."

Pal'ish Grows As soon as possible a tempora­ ry chapel was built by parishion­ ers. In the Spring of 1926 the chapel was comilleted. It seated about 300 people. and served as church and hall for some 22 years. In 1947 Father Larue, was namcd pastor of the Sacred Heart Parish in North Attleboro.

He was succeeded by the Rev. F, Anatole Desmarais.

Father Desmarais upon his arrival began a series of improve­ ments. The old church was re­ modeled. New altars and new pews were installed. The church was painted and decorated. 'L'he brook which crossed the lowland was piped, the swamp was filled in and surfaced to form a spa­ cious parking lot. Masses were increased from two to four on Sundays. Priests from Our Lady of LaSalette came to help week­ ends until the arrival of the Rev. Roger Poirier who served' as

assistant under FI'. Desmarais

for several months.

Building'

l~und'

In April 1950 Father Desmarais was nameo pastor of St. Joseph's Church in Attleboro and was succeeded by the Rev. Stanislaus Goyctte who continued the good work of his predecessors and who started a Building Fund for a lIew church which was becom­ ing' more and more of a necessity.

Father Goyette was transferred to St. Louis de France parish in Swansea in April 1954.

Father Goyette was succeeded by the present pastor, Rev. Ger­ ard J. Chabot, who was appoint­ ed by His Excellency, Most Rev. James L. Connolly, D.O., on April 2. 1954. A year later !Pather Chabot received the help of a newly ordained priest, Rev. Rogel' L. Gagne. A fifth Mass was add­ ed' on Sundays; but the popula­ tion was growing so rapidly' that the old church could no longer serve the needs of the people. It was then decided by Bishop Connolly that a new church should be built, Ground was broken in April 1956, and constrhctton was start­ ed a few weeks later by the E. Turgeon Construction Company of P!'ovidence. The architects

were Joseph M. Mosher & Son of Providence.

Monument to God The new church will seat 600 people, and should be able to serve the needs of the people for many years to come. What might have seemed a near Impossibility 32 years ago, Is now a reality due to the generosity of a truly Catholic people, The church stands today as a monument of their love and devotion for AI­ mlg\1ty God.

Tax Burden Imagine what would happen if the communities of this Diocese found almost twenty thousand students at the doors of their schools seeking admission. Where would they get the classrooms, the teachers, the money to edu­ cate these taxpayers' children?

The Catholic Teachelis Conventttm last week brought together teachers from all over the Diocese-from Orleans to North Attleboro. It gave our teachers a sense of oneness.

It gave them 3:n opportunity to hear of new methods and techniques from nationally known experts in these fields.

And the sight of the hundreds of teachers ,also re­ minded us of the tax burden that our parochial schools are saving the communities.

First Communion

..

Puring these weeks many of our youngsters will re­ ceive their first Holy Communion. Years of home training and many months oimore immediate preparation will reach a holy culmination when they receive Our Blessed Lord into their pure sC;lUls and bodies for the first time.

It is a happy and memorable day in the life of a parish.

The youngsters themselves al;e innocently unaware of the attention they get. They are very much concerned over the way to march, how to keep veils straight. They take it as a matter of course that they, are to receive Christ. How wise they are-Christ takes it as a normal thing, too, that He is to be our Food.

A great deal of emotion is displayed on First Com­ munion day. Tired hearts receive a reward for devotion to duty. Jaded lives are made a shade less cynical. "Unless you become as little children" gains a new meaning in our lives.

A First Communion 'day can well give a new begin, ning to an entire parish, ' And one more point. It is wonderful to think of how many exceptional children in the, Diocese have been brought to the blessedness of this day. These children, "children," the beautiful words of St. Paul, "in malice," have been the loving objects of patient and tender care by many devoted men and women and college students. ' Exceptional in their love and purity; and, in the oppor­ tunity they give to others for service, they have been brought to their First Communion da'y. 'They are the richer for this, and so are we all.

Vocation' Masses

Fall River, Taunton and New Bedford will be scenes of three Pontifical Masses that will be celebrated next week for vocations. They will be Masses in honor of the Holy Ghost, tl)at He will help our young people to find their true calling"in life.

There is the strong hope that, many will be inspired

by God to g'ive themselves into His direct service as priests, brothers and sisters. ,There is a great need o~ religious vocations, especially with all the expansion in fields of education and charitable endeavors. But we are not pray­ ing for young people to devote their lives ,only in these 'ways. ' The life-long vocation of 'every Catholic, is to bring Jesus Christ into his own life and into hiS'own environ­ ment. In whatever work he finds himself, he is tlie rep­ -resentative of Christ, showing Our' Lord to those around him or betraying Christ· in his thoughts and words 'and' actions. ~ So these Vocation Masses will ask God to aid our young people to attain the job or occupation or career that will help them save their souls and advance the cause of the Kingdom of Christ here on'earth.

No one can talk a person into the religious life. 'No one intends or desires to do that. The purpose of the Vo­ cation Masses is to seek God's help that pers,ons may uncover in their lives the plan of God for them. If it Is to the priesthood or as a religious, all well and good. 'If It , is to some job or profession, splendid.

What we do want to avoid is an aimless drifting through life, a constant waiting for God to personally explain what He wants done with a life when the signs are already there if we would but look. The Vocation Masses will ask the Holy Ghost to help people'look-at themselves and at God-and then to decide where God wants them to work out here their lives and their salvation.

Infinite God Confers Existence on Others

By F. J. Sheed

We have known all our lives that· God is not an old man with a beard (rather like Karl Marx', especially when the artist wanted to show God angry, as he often did.)

We have realized too, that the more complex picture of an old man with a long ~ have to receive existence, be­ beard, a young man with a cause He is existence. short beard, and a dove, Primary Truth bears no resemblance to the Now we understand the name JJlessed Trinity: it is merely the artist doing his best. But getting rid of the plctures Is of value only If, in their place, we develop a truer idea of God: other- wise we have merely a blank where the pic- tures used to ~ hang.

God is a spirit. As a first step towards forming our Idea of Him, we imagine our body away and lIee our soul existing and functionlng bodl1ess: It is partless, IlPaceless, immortal, It knows, loves, decides, acts. And all these things are true Qf God. But our soul is not God's equal, It is only His image; and whl1e there are l'esemblances between an Image and the original, there are greater differences. Looking at a man's photograph you might think him very flat; looking 'at

his statue. you might thi~lk him unnaturally rigid; in fact you don't make either errOr, you make allowances for the paper on which, or the stone in Which, his image is reproduced. Looking at man's soul we must make al­ lowances for the nothingness in which God has reproduced His Image; for our soul. like all created things, is made of noth­ Ing. How do we make allowances for that? We are spirit: so Is God. But God is Infinite: so are not we.

No Limits in God We note the meaning of the word Infinite. It Is from the Latin finis, meaning an end or bound­ ary or limit; the word in says there is no such thing In God. God Is without limit or boundary or end. Whatever perfection there is, God has it totally. Apply this notion of limit to our own loul: it knows certain things but they are a mere drop in the ocean of things It doesn't know: Its knowing is limited. So is its loving. So is Its power. There are none of these limits in God - He Is aU-knowing, all-loving, all­ powel"ful.

He Is Existence We shall return to these but only after looking again at the difference we mentioned first ­ namely that the soul owes Its existence to God. He brought It Into existence, holds it In exist­ ence, could reduce It to nothing again (but He has told us He Will not). To have no hold of one's own upon existence Is the most llmitlng llmltatlon of all: and marks the greatest differ­ ence between the finite spirit which is our soul and the Infinite spirit which Is God. Bel'llard Shaw tells of asking • priest "Who made God?" The pI'lest was thunderstruck, his faith shattered. Whethel' he (lommltted suicide or mer.ely left lhe Church Shaw does not teU.· But the 'whole thing is ridiculous.

Every student of phl1osophy has heard the Question: and they aU know that there must be a being Which did not need to be made.

If nothing existed except receiv­ ers of eXistence, where would the .xlstence come from? In order that anything may exist, there must be II. being which does not ltave to receive existence, a being which simply has it. God can confer existence upon all other beings, precisely because He has it in HL~ own right. It Is His nature to eXist. God doeB not

God gave Himself. The story is in the third chapter of Exodus.

God had appeared to Moses In the burning bush. When Moses asked Him His name, Gad said "I am who am. Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: He who is hath sent me to you."

This is God's name for Himself, I AM. Our name for Him is HE IS. (The Hebrew word for this is Jahveh. The Jews, out of rever­ ence, avoided writing God's name in fUl1, they wrote the consonants only JHVH. Somebody In the 13th Century made a bad guess at the missing vowels and pro­ duced the word Jehovah. ActuallY there is no such word, which ill hard luck for Jehovah's Wlt­ nesses).

That is the primary truth about God. He is, He exists, with all that existence in its fulnes. can mean. We shall look deeper into that.

Brooklyn Catholics Mark Hungarian Day

Juvenile Crime Rate Spiraling WASHINGTON mc) - Over one million children will appear before the courts in 1965 if the delinquency rate continues its upward trend at the same rate it did from 1948 through 1955, a Senate committee has stated.

A report on the delinquency problem was issued by the Senate ' Committee to Investigate Juve­ nile Delinquency. It' stated the estimated figure for children coming before the courts during 1956 is 530,000. , Sen. Thomas C. Hennings of Missouri, committee chairman, said that "juvenile delinquency Is a problem which must be solved almost entirely by state and local authorities," He stat­ ed, however, that Congress can, help by passing "certain very use­ ful legislation."

He recommended a "partner­ ship" between all of the people throughout the country who are trying to do something about eliminating juvenile deliquency.

The committee said one of the major complaints It heard was against juvenile vandalism. It criticized the enactment of cur­ fews to combat this trouble. It held curfew laws are too difficult to enforce, give careiess parents "one more excuse for falling In their duties," and are obered by those who need them least and evaded by those who need them most. It cited a program de­ veloped by Boston city leaders, involving the cooperation of newspapers, radio and television stations, religious groups and youth organizations, as a posi­ tive and preferable approach.

The committee said the Boston program reduced the city's van­ dalism 20 and 21 per cent in two consectuive years.

Missionary Work lags in America BOSTON (NC) - In spite of the "extraordinary growth and development of the Church in this country," the United States is "far behind" in missionary activity, Archbishop Richard J. Cushing of Boston has declared.

The Archbishop spoke at a Solemn Pontifical Mass offered by newly - consecrated Bishop Vincent I, Kennally, S.J., Vicar, Apostolic of the Caroline-Mar­ shall Islands. Citing figures, he found the Catholics of the United.

States far behind the Catholics of smaller countries and the non­ Catholics of this country in mis­ sionary work.

"The little country of Hol­ land," he said, "with one-fifth of our Catholic population, has some 8,000 foreign missionaries­ we have a little over 5,000. Two thousand one hunderd and sixty:.' five missionaries ieft the United States last year-less than 200 were Catholics."

Jesuit Offers Suggestions To Encourage Vocations

By Rev. John L. Thomas, S.J. St. Louis University

My wife would give just abOut anything if one of our boys would turn out to be a priest. I fUlly share her attitude in this regard but feel we must be very careful in the way we go abOut encouraging a vocation among our boys. I feel that she tends wants us to help Him, What to offer a little too much en- He will we do for Him? couragement a t tim e s.

• • •

Before answering your quesUGIl, it may be helpful to consider what we ~n by a vocation to the p r i est h 0 0 d.

Clearly. it i8 a call1ng fro m God to serve a apecial function In His Church.

This does not mean that God normally makes a special revela-tion to 'the individual that he has been called.

Distinguishinc Aspects

How' then, does one recognize a vocation? In answering this question, theologians usually distinguish between what they call the subjective and the objective aspects of a vocation. The subjective aspect consists not so much in sentiments or feelings but in the right intention of the aspirant, joined to the necesary phYsical, intellectual, and 1I10rai endowments. Hence anyone who aspires to the priesthood with the unique motive of coosecrating himself to the servtce of God and the salvation of IIOUls, and at the same time possesses, or is willing to acquire, thlt necessary virtues and learning, mows that he is called by God to the priesthood. This subjective calling is completed and made formal by the objective calling of the appropriate eccl~astical authority who accepts the candidate for ordination.

Attitude Important It follows that you are primarily interested in promoting the subjective calling, that is, the desire to consecrate oneself to the service of God and the salvation of souls. How can you encourage and promote this deII1re among your children?

First, perhaps the most important thing from the natural PGint of view will be the respect and esteem which you yourselves show toward the priesthood and priests. Children are quick to eense their parent's attitudes. In choosing their life work, these attitudes necessarily play an 1Jnportant role. second, stimulate i n t ere s t through conversation and readIng in the great heroes of the faith, the saints and religious leaders who fought so nobly for Christ. Young people like a challenge. They are easily inspired by an ideal which demands the best that they have. Perhaps it may start out as mere wishful thinking, but they all dream about doing great things some day. Why not give direction to this thinking by sho\\'ing what others have done?

Sterling- Qualities

Third. teach them about the wOrk Christ came to do. Help them to see that His work is not finished, that He has put it into our hands, and that we have the privilege of cooperating with Him in saving the world. I would atress this point. Too often reli(fiQIl is presented as tittle more :than • set of rules an4 • .more or leu ..elfish sharma- in prayer and. the sacraments. Hence, 7outb. views it more as .. restraint ,than. til 'cI:lallence. Teach your eu:Hdren to see the work of the CbuI:Cl1 as an e8:t~nr,i,on In tIme . and space of the worl:.: of. ChrIst,

in the manner in which vocatio~ are promoted. Hold up the right motives, and stress generosity, love of work and study, and manliness. Some parents confuse lack of initiative, childish emotionalism, and easy conformity with true piety. A vocation must be built on more sterling qualities.

Finally, you should pray earnestly to the Lord of the Harvest.

"The fields are white with the harvest, but the laborer. are few," If you ask humbly 'and sincerely, can He refuse your repeated request?

UN Secretary Lauds Papal Peace Work ROME (NC) - U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold and His Holiness Pope Pius XII discussed virtually the whole scope of the current international situation during their recent long conference, and examined in particular' serious problems preventing the attainment of true and lasting peace throughout the world, reliable sourcea have disclosed.

The sources said that more than once Mr. Hammarskjold has paid tribute to the generous and persevering work of the Pope toward the establishment of fruitful concord between peoples. the abandonment of nuclear weapons, disarmament and coexistence ba~ on truth. They said the latest homage paid by the head of the United Nation.

We will set up means recommended to help correct speech, improve co-ordination .and develop physical and mental skills within the powers of those committed to our care.

"This, I know, is charity with a chain reaction already set up.

I can well expect requests for service in other communities, and for other needs. Let me say simply that I should like nothing better than to provide for all.

But it is not merely a matter of finance, though that it,~elf is difficult. It is hard to staff such schools. The demands are great.

Less Than Penny Apiece

God Love You

By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.O. The power of the world is moving from the West to the East.

The history the past generation studied centered and radiated from Europe or from what is called Western civilization. /But the moment in which we now live is full of crises. catastrophes. and cold wars. Because the shift is toward the East, Africa and Asia are'now more important in the U.N. than Europe.

This transition Is hidden in the eternal counsels of God who has fixed limits to all nations. The Holy Spirit once forbade Paul to &,0 into Asia and now bids the missionaries to multiply and evangelize the East.

From a political point of view, it would seem that the United States is meditating that shift of power from the West to the East through its aid to the underprivileged peoples of the world. Spiritually-and this is more important-it is the faithful of the United States who are supplying the means to bring the Eastern world not to an imitation of the West, but to a free expression of its own culture in the light of the Gospel of Christ.

.

Last year the Catholics of the United States averaced thirty cents each as a sacrifice to the Holy Father for the 1,580,800,090 pagans in the world. This presented a capital investment on our part in these pagans of seven tenths of a cent each!

This year, in the name of Christ crucified, let us do better Each day make a tiny little sacrifice; put it in a special envelope and then at the end of the month send it to the Holy Father through his Society for the Propagation of the Faith. He knows best how to distribute the sacrifices of the Faithful.

Church Program Dependent Upon Work of Nuns VATICAN CITY (NC)-Wer\ It not for the Sistel's and their dedicated work, the Church would probably have to renounce many of its programs and yield many of its pOsitions in the world.

His Holiness Pope Pius XII included this statement in a discourse to members of the Italian National Convention of Hospital Sisters whom he received in audience.

The Holy Father went on to say that it is necessary for groupS such as the Hospital Sisters to take inventory from time to time and to examine their methods of life and action in order to see If they are still useful and effective.

He warned the Sisters against drifting away from the community life and counseled them to pay careful attention to the spirit of poverty.

"We know well the economic needs of your clinics which should and must be equal to those required of a modern hospital. W. know also .that it is not always easy, under such conditions, to remain faithful in everything to the ideal of poverty. Despite all this, we believe we can make you aware of the danger of easy temptations, of which Religious who assist the sick are not always free: we refer to some clinics where it seems that the criteria result is being not too dissimilar from those of certain profit-seeking institutions."

WORCESTER (NC> - Catholic women were urged here to develop an insight into the positi~'e rather than the negativ~ aspects of religion by Father Aelred G r a ham, Benedictine scholar and prior of St. Gregory', Priory, Portsmouth, R. I. Speaking at the annual congress of the Diocese of Worcester's League of Catholic Women, Father Graham pOinted out that Catholics hear daily "of the things we ought to be against, but what, apart from the Pope and American motherhood, are we Catholics for?"

"Have we nothing more positive to say to our contemporarie. than that they should close their ears to Billy Graham and their eyes to 'BabY Doll:?" he asked.

The average American, he said, associates with the word Catholic a person who 1s anticommunist, against birth prevention, against novel. and movies "that don't conform to certain clerical tastes" and

He stressed that "being compassionate and lOVing and con.. cerned about people is much more important than marchinc in parades, attendinl' banquets and Communion breakfasts, and agitating for the prohibition and suppression of this, that or the other."

Father Graham cited the value of a spiritual retreat and. commented "that it gives or ahould &ive, u. an insi&,ht into the positive at distinct from. the negative aspects of religion."

He declared. that "we mould. not make a retreat simply to seek an opportunity to 8&Y moe. pi-ayen or to make ourselves more fervent, but to discover ourselves."

cized the writings of Westbrook Peg'ler on the subject of

American trade unionism. ·We said, among other thIngs,

that Mr. Pegler seems to be "

opposed to the very id~a of as an exempl~ry Christian gen­ . . . t tleman. trade umomsm as a mat er Mr. Durkin was a man of deep

of principle-that he con- and abiding faith and a man of

sistently fails to make the necessary distinctions between· good, bad and indifferent unions and un ion . leaders. .

I n support of this admittedly severe criticism 0 f Mr. Pegler we quoted a typica:f statement from one of his columns.

"Unionism," he said in that partfcular column, "is still a predatoi'y racket. absolutely hostile to the constitutional guarantees and to human dignity and freedom."

Several months later a profesSOl' at a well ·known Catholic university· in the Midwest, who had read a copy of our Saint Louis speech, politely but firmly took us to task for our criticism of Mr. Peglar. While he did not completely exonerate Mr. Pegler, he tentatively defended him against the charge of being basi.cally anti-union and then, assuming the role of friendly counselor, told us very frankly that in his opinion. we ought to stop'criticizing Mr. Pegler in our writings and public addresses.

-'bl SI'l ence I mpos". e We took this advice to heart and made a resolution that for the' indefinite future we would manfully resist the temptation to pick another quarrel with Mr. Pegler. We had no trouble keeping this resolution until another friend of ours from: the Midwest sent us a copy of Mr.. Pegler's column which was published in The Detroit Times and a number ·of other newspapers on May 1, the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker. . .

In general there is nothing substantially new 01'- different about this column. We had read it all before at least a hundred ti~nes. However t.here are a couple of sentences III the column which simply have to be answered for the sake of the record and in spite of 01.1,1' resolution not to pick a quarrel with Mr. Pegler. The two sentences in question read as follows: ,. ·'It seems to m~ that Eisenhower had decided to insult and «hallenge the decency of better citizens when in 1953·, he picked, of all the men available for the job of secretary of labor, Martin Durkin. president of the plumbers' union. The Republicans had elected Ike. -but for a first cabi­ net he chose an old time l'acketeer with the hide of an armadillo, the .ethics of a pig alld the soul of a New Deal Democrat."

Exemplary Christian Mr. Pegler's slanderous and disgustingly vulgar attack on the reputation 'of the late Martin Durkin is utterly bene.ath con­ tempt. And the fact that it was published - without an editorial rejoinder or disclaimer in several of the leading newspapers of the country is a disgrace to American journalism. Freedom of the press - what sins are committed in thy name!

The reader will have to make allowances fOl' the personal tone of this column in defense of Mr. Durkin against the scurrilous criticism of an man who probably nevel' met him or, in any event, certainly never g·ot to know him as we did. We cannot write im­ personally !'.:,1 dispassionately about a In ! ,·\tom we know intimately f~ . . :_i and whom we deeply admired and l'espected

persevering prayer and penance.

He was a daily communicant for

at least 30 or 40 years and pos­ sibly longer. He never took a

dime that didn't belong to him.

and he was scrupulously vigilant

about the handling of the funds which he administered as pl'esl­ dent of his international union and as Secretary of Labor.

Shortly before he died-which was long before the opening of the McClellan hearings-Martin· Durkil1 engaged the best legal talent he could find to prosecute a local official who had stolen money from the union treasurey, His handling of this case - in­ volving an official whom he had known as a friend ~or many years - was typical of the man.

To characterize such a man as a racketeer "with the ethics of a pig" is an all-time low in yellow journalism.

Influence Negligible In a certain sense this defense of Mr. Durkin's reputation Is probably unnecessary and super­ flous. Nobody who was privileged to know him p~rsonally will be influenced in the slightest by Mr. Pegler's incredible attack on h,iii" reputation. On the contrary. his bitterest critics (and he had his share) would undOUbtedly be the first to protest that Mr. Pegler has done him a great injustice. the evil of which is compounded by the fact that he is no longer here to defend himself.

Come to think of it however . if Mr. Durkin were stiil alive. h~ probably wouldn't bother to re­ ply to Mr. Pegler. He would offer it up in silence for the POOl' souls _ -and for the reform of.a columnist who has apparently lost respect for the rules of decent journalism.

Nevertheless the fact that Mr. Durkin would have turned the other cheek to Mr. Pegler does not exonerate Mr. Pegler him­ self or the syndicate which spon­ SOl'S his column. Nor does it exonerate the newspapers whiCh' stooped to publish his attack on the good name of an exemplary would remind his generation of of simple justice and honesty, ail of them owe an apology. to Mr. Durkin's w·idow and children who must have been deeply grieved and wounded by Mr. Pegler's in­ excusably vicious attack on the reputation of a great man whose reputation they rightfully hold in benediction.

Enactment of Legislation

Needed to Curb Movies

Thieves Return Loot Stolen from Nuns TURIN, Italy (NC) - Holy Week and a newspaper item have shown that there are still "good tlJieves" in the world.

A pair of thieves here returned loot stolen during Holy Week from a charitable institution run

by Sisters after reading a news­ paper story about the hardships their theft had caused. _ On Holy W.ednesday night the thieves broke into the Convent of the Christian Servant, where the Sisters of Blessed Bartolo­ mea Capitanio dedicate them­ selves to the assistance of poor young girls. The thieves concen­ ti:ated on .the kitchen. They left the convent of 17 Sisters and 38 girls only two small pans and six forks and spoons; There was no money to replace them. , The following day an article appeared in a Turin newspaper giving an account of the robbery and describing the financial plight in which the sisters found themselves. Shortly afterward one or'the thieves called up the newspaper editor and told, him where the loot was hidden.

"I have read the article about the robbery," he said. "We need­ ed money, but we didn't know the Sisters would find themselves in difficulty. We're sorry."

tional weekly had hit the streets with a. feature article on the apectacular youngster. The story recounted a litany of serious physical setbacks which Score aurvived to make the majors. The faith of his deeply religious mother and the prayers of theO familY'1I parish priest saw him through his first crisis at the tender age of three. Herb had been run over by a bakery truck and It was feared that he might never walk again. Traction final­ )y proved effective on the eve of an operation. More prayers fol­ lowed when latei' Herb contracted pneumonia. Several years after that, rheumatic fever laid him' low for eight months., One After Another On to high Ichool, where he broke an ankle in a fall dming his sophomore year. Recovery was complicated by an emergen­ cy appendectomy. After signing with Cleveland in 1952, Her,b had a sedes of physical setbacks. He dislocated his col1arbone at !Reading In 1953. Pneumonia Clvertook him again at Indlana­ polis in '54, A year later, his first 1n'the majors, the virus got him.

And since 1956 he had been troubled with a. spastic colon.

Now he lies in a. Cleveland hospl­ tal while doctorll seek to ascer­ tain the "extent of the injury to his eye. Latest reports Indicate that the visible area of the retina is undamaged but the center is atill Ilhrouded by hemol'l'hage.

Throughout the ordeal. his mother, at Herb's request, has remained at home. We prayerfulIy entreat that a mother's faith w1ll once again be rewarded. ' Harrington Shines Tom Harrington, former All­ Nan'y choice at Somerset High, is the ace of the University of ,Rhode Island 'freshman team.

Yugoslavia Reds Take Monas_tery TRIESTE (NC) - Communist Yugoslavia has confiscated the 400-year-old Franciscan monas­ tery at Pazin, on the Istrian peninsula and ordered Its 17 friars to vacate the property im­ mediately, it was learned here.

In seizing the convent, the Reds said simply' that it was needed for military use. The ac:, tion was seen as a great blow to Istrian Catholics in that it furth­ er aggravates the acute shortage of priests in the area. There was no immediate information, however, as to where the Fran~ ciscans would go.

MeanWhile, propaganda at­ tacks against the Pazln semin­ ary Indicated that its closure by the Reds might be imminent.
