Dearly Beloved in Christ: Our 1957 Charities Appeal has reached a new lmpre­ cedented high record a/achievement. On behalf of all who benefit by YOllr gellerosity alld sacrifice, I wish to speak a cordial word of thanks and prayerflll blessillg. With economic conditions as they 'are, some difficulty was experienced here and there to maintain the level of givillg in former years. But many old friends raised, and even dOl/bled, their customary offerillg, New friends were fOllnd. 0111' diocesan and parochial chairmen worked zeal­ ollsly. Ollr spokesmen took their resp01lsibility seriollsly 'alld represented well the cause of those dependent on our killdness. An appreciatil'e pllblic respollded in their /lsual generous way. So, we are deeply grateflll to all whose united effort brought most of 0111' parishes soaring to a nell' record in generosity.

Bishop 'of Fall River

Fall River Man's I)og to Provide

'Second Sight' for Blind Person.

Thanks to the generosity and warm-heartedness of a Fall River man, a pedigreed German Shep­ herd dog will soon be on its way to Forest Hills, N. Y.. to become, after skillful professional tl'Qin­ lng, "second sight" for a blind pe~·son. . Readers of The Anchor may recall a photograph in the Ml1y 23 issue showing a member of the Diocesan Guild for the Blind leaving Sacred Heart Church guided by a "seeing-eye dog," The occasion was the Guild's ob­ servance of Bishop's Day, when members from Attleboro to .the Cape came with theil' spiritual directors, escorts and drivers fOI' their annual meeting in Fall Rivel', with Bishop Connolly as luest of honor. Joseph P. Reis, 161.' Tower Street, is a member of St. An­

thony's Band, Inc .. of Fall River -the 30-piece organization that volunteered to provide the en­ tertainment in the school audi­ torium after services 1n the church, and deUghted the audi­ ence of several hundred with its rendition of band and concel;t selections. Joe Reis saw the lady and the dog and was fascinated. He thought of the fine six-months­ old PUppy) he was raising as a pet. Could she be traineq, too. to pro­ vide a new world of second sight for someone? He'd hate to lose the pup - but this, - well, this is diffel;ent! He confided his wish to Miss Gertrude L. Mercier. hospitality chairman of the Guild's Fall River chapter, who informed the Guide Dog Foundation of Joe's offer. II; was accepted.

Since the church will be a social as well as religious gathering place, the base­ ment of the church will be equipped with the latest in kit­ chen faclllties, and will hold as many persons as the church it­ self. The interior painting of the church w1ll. be the traditional Colonial white' with some light color t:? relieve the 'whiten.ess. The sanctuary will have two large sacristies opening off it:-a priest's sacristy and a work and altar boy sacristy. The baptistry will be right inside the main door of the church. .' The building of the church is on~ more indication of the waf Catholics are moving to suburban ar~as and the interest the Diocese has in providing ade­ quate and beautiful churches for them.

Modern Teen Agers Rebel Against Aimless Summer By l\'lal'Y Tinley Daly

With schools dismissed, "way-of-life" takes on a new comple?{ion for teen-ag·ers. Days are long, energy high, even after the nine months in claSSrooms. A chang'e of scene and chang'e of pace seem to bring a resurgance of zest for living, That "What'll-I-do-now" take office jops If they liked. or feeling can be iranslated thel could take on other types of.

Too Then there is "made" work at home: cleaning' the garage and/ or the basement. sawing' wood for the boys. dressmaking for the girls. Fine-as far as they go. Rowe v e r. there's something vaguely unsatisfying' about such Jobs. Parents may pay children for doing work like this. but that l'emoves the family feeling. It·s their home, too. and keeping it up is their responsibility as well as the parents', As fOt' the pay. It·s like taking' money out of one pocket and putting It into an­ other. Then, too.

In other words. it's real work­ and real work is alwa~'S satisfy­ ing. Those of 'us in the urban 01' suburban areas must seek a solu­ tion of the problem.

Heartening' Sig'n

And so Wt find that more imd more of them are taking' summer jobs - part-tIme or full-time.

.Corpu's Christi This is the Feast of Corpus Christi,' the Body of Christ. On Holy Thursday we realize this great event of Our Lord's giving Himself to us under the appearance 'of bread and wine, changing the substances of these 'to His Body and Blood. The shadow of Calvary is' on Holy Thursday, and so CorpusChristiw8.s instituted to .give·us another day to rejoice in this wonderful gift -of God to man. The recepti,on of Holy Communion has always been considered the normal action in every Mass. "Holy Com­ munion at every Mass" might well be the rule of our Jives. How sadly strange itis that many·good persons'stay away from weekly Sunday Communi,on for no reason at all. St. John Chrysostom, speaking in the fourth cen­ tury, exorted his listeners: "Christ did this fo bring us' to Books of t·he Hour a closer bond of friendshi:\?, and to signify His love toward us, giving Himself to those who desire Him, not only to behold Him,. but also to handle Him, to eat Him, to em.brace Him with the fullness of their whole heart. There­ fore as lions breathing fire do we depart' from that Ta1;llerendered objects of terror to the devil." . By Rev. D. Bernard'Theall, 0.8.8'. The resolution of this day might be to strengthen .

Like the $64,000 Question it comes up every week and calls for as· man yanswers. Why do theaters show a good family film with one that is morally offensive to family people? One answer is that many keeps us away from the movies theatear booking agents when we'd otherwise go. Something much more drastic neither know nor care how may be necessary In dealing with individual films are rated theaters -, especially drive-ins-­

I know why they do It but I do not know how to get them to drop such hit or miss tac'tlcs un­ less enough potential family pa­ trons will take the trouble to tell their local theater owners about it.

Some theaters are watching tricks these days. They all try for contrasts. of course, which Is called "balancing the program." They'll put'a bing-bang Western with a light, domestic comedy,. or a musical romance with a realistic crime 'drama, figuring that ticket-buyers X'ho are cold to the one may warm up to the othel·.

P'lan. City of God At World's Fair. ,BRUSSELS (NC) - The first tickets to the Vaticanis exhibi­ tion at the Brussels World's Fair in 1958 were given to Archbishop Efrem F'orn!, Apostolic Nuncio to Belgium. "'" Paul Heymans, commissioner of Civitas Del, as the Holy See's pavilion will be known, an­ nounced In making the presenta­ tion that one million tickets will be sent to 52 countries of the world. All of these countries will, be represented at the Holy See's exhibit. Since It is the "City of God," the V-shaped pavilion will have no doors and is to be open to all. A lal'ge church adjoining the pavilion will be open at all times. It Is planned that' Masses will be offered all morning long and every evening. There will be room for about 2,500 people In the edifice. The altar will be visible to all the congregation, as the structure is to stand on a natural slope with the sanctuary at the lowest point of the grade. The exhibit pavilion will con­ tain a reconstruction of the cata­ combs of Rome. A bell-towel' will be about 97 feet high and wlll be topped by a large cross. It is planned that a large audi­ torlum will be joined to the main pavilion and will accommodate about 1,300 persons for lectures anld for. religious dramas.

The straight player transaction saw the popu­ lar Bill Goodman peddled off to Baltimore for righthander Mike Fornelies. Just last week we were musing about Billy's strange status. A lifetime .300 hitter, one of three (Kell and Kuenn) still Hctlve In the American League, Goodmlfu was relegated to a lowly warmup catcher's post by Higgins. He was, no doubt, the highest salaried practice catcher in the majors. In the two games he has played since Joining. the Orioles, Billy has homered and tripled. Evi­ dently his long rest has given him I~reater strength for he never had the reputation of being a long ball hitter. Ironically enough, Goodman Is being used to spell the injured George Kell mentioned above. One thing Is certain: Goodman will definitely help the Orioles. What assistance Fornelles provides the Sox, must remain to be seen. Pay TV Planned It is rumored that the transfer of the Dodgers to Los Angeles­ which now appears imminent­ will usher in the era of pay TV In baseball. Coin boxes will be Installed on home television sets by the Telemeter Corporation for a $10 service charge. The viewer then inserts a half dollar In the box when he desires to watch a game on TV. For those Who are undecided on the worth of watching a given game, the score at the end of each Inning is given free by an announcer on the channel carrying the game. A conservative estimate places the club's. take per game via the medium at llrom $50,000 to $75,000. The effects on live at­ tendance at the statlum, pa'rtl­ cularly the concessions, would be negative, but on the other hand, it would be similar to starting a game with 30,000 admissions. Not bad, eh? •

Warns Against Commie Trade SOUTH ORANGE (NC) - A wal'l1ing that resumption of trade

self to his disappointment. the artist said quietly. "I will paint you a picture of Our Lady of Fatima.",No date was set. it was simply a promise. Fr. AvUa retul'l1ed home thank­ ful and happy. but his happiness was not unalloyed. Now arose the gnawing anxiety of where to get ,the money to pay for the paint­ " lng when finished. He knew the artist's fame. knew he received large sums of money for indi­ vidual figures. Multiply 'by' four. to say nothing of other details. and what did he have? A -llfetime debt on his shoulders. So Fr. Avila's JOY, was tempered -with worry.' but he kept on prayh)g. A great day came at last. In the fall of 1945 Father AvUa re­ ceived a letter from Henrique Medina. He wrote that the pic­ ture was finished and'that he was sending it-Fl'. Avila stared hard at the next lirie "A free gift. to Father Avila. for the,Church of, Saint Anthony. in honor of Our Lady Of Fatima," This time ." Father Avila's joy was unalloyed. Joy to All When the picture arrived he felt that it should not be hung above the altar when in the church. The altar must be beau­ tiful also. so that the painting would complement. not detract from the great Sacrifice. He went to work on the task of b~autifY­ ing Saint Anthony's Church. How well he' succeeded can be seen in the lovely church which today stands on a sllght'l'ise of ground and in beauty of interior and ex­ terior invites to reverence and prayer. In the spring of 1946 in May. the artist, Henrique Medina. paid a visit to Fl:. Avila when he was' retul'l1lng to Portugal. The pic­ ture had not been hung but the artist had an opportunity to see the preparations being made and to know just where it was to hang, It was in August 1951 that the picture was finally hung and since then has been a JOY to the parish and an inspiration to the many visitors who come to view, it. and remain to pray.
