One of six finalists who spoke about "Refugees," Reilly dis. cussed the subject from the view· point of whether America's res· ponsiblllty to those who seek haven here has ended.

"The refugee,'" he said, "should not be regarded as a problem but as an opportunity to follow up the lip service we Americans pay to brotherhood and' the Golden Rule, lest we become refugees ourselves - refugees from care, concern and conscience."

By Mary Tinley Daly It would never be reported in the society column of a newspaper.

There were no important guests. . startling entertainment was conspi,CUQllS by its absence.

There was no lavish out­ the kind you blow up and they let out an unearthly whe-ee-eee lay of food or drink, as the ail' is expelled. Music!

Sounds dull? Fa I' from it!

In short, it

was the party in celebration of Lu Anne's fourth birthday.

"We'll jus t atop by and leave the pres­ ent," the Head of the House and I agreed, never thinking that we'd stay. as 'onlookers, for' the whole show. Somehow, though, the freshness and downright joy at that party of 12 youngsters from two to five years of age made pale by comparison many a sophisticated party. As a matter of fact, it caused us to be an hour late for a suavely "smart" party, elaborately reported next day In the newspapers, but not half so much fun.

Squeals of DeUg·ltt Brown eyes dancing' with 'ex­ citement. the hostess - honoree was relishing every second of "her day," PackaRe opening was accompanied 'by squeals of de­ light, mostly by th~ donors. .

"It's what I wanted my' mom­ my to get me" fluffy pink pettl­ coated Sharon said as Lu Anne unwrapped the toy dog', "I's a piay med'cine thest," lisped 3 year old Bobby before the ribbon was even untied. "And I's got bandaids and thoap a\ld every­ thing!" , No ice breakers needed at that party. TroubleS? And tears? A few. because for every gift there were several takers. But Lu, in her calm and assured way ""Ith little children, son'lehow managed to see that everybody had a chance to t'ry out each of Lu Anne's gifts, yet subtly convey the idea that the party itself would soon get underway.

It did, with giVing' each small ·boy and girl a funny little multi­ colored straw hat with rubber band under the chin. Then paper bags for everybody a.nd the mar­ ble hunt started.

Originally planned for a gar­ den party, the weatherman had other plans. A bunch of big pink balloons was taped ill mid-ceiling and long streamers of twisted crepe paper carried the color scheme to the foul' comel'S of the I'oom-decoratlons up high.

Th~ marble hunt kept every­ body busy. the older children making time while 21 month old Sean deliberately picked up one marble. put it in his bag and shut the top, content with-his take. .

Wise in the ways of children, Lu let the party set its own pace and didn't pile one game on top of another. Part of the thrlll for the neighborhood children, used to seeing their friends In play clothes, was observing' the fancy party dresses, nylon socks and patent leather slippers. sailor suits and Sunday bests for the boys.

He said that both submission and violenCE; are to be avoided. and that the best course is one of moderation counseled "by the material spirit of the Church."

Thus the solution of I social problems must not involve an ex­ aspera ted atruggIe, he said, but rather R harmony sought· for according to eternal principles.

When solutfons which are just are not enough, one must then 'turn to "the greater dominion of charity," Pope Pius declared:

Our Democracy is rooted in -the belief in' God and God's moral law> It is good to realize this .In a day when men are giving far, different definitions of democracy.

Democracy was founded in this country on a spiritual basis. It must ., continue on that basis or risk failure.

Dr. Clar~nce Manion, former dean of Notre Dame's College cif ~aw, in a commencement talk a few years ago at Pennsylvania Sta'te College made'some significant re­ , marks along these lines. , ('The United states," he said. '':is not a mere matter' of population and geography. It is the inca'rnation of political convictions. It is the one political structure in 't~e world's history that was built consciously and delib­ erately from precise, mathematically -calculated spe'cifi­ cations o~ a vacant lot cleared for that purpose in 1775.

The mathematical, certainties are d~scribed in .the specifi­ cations as self-evident truths. They describe the certainty of an Almighty God, the certainty of ,human equality be­ fore God and therefore before the law of the land, the cer­ tainty of the' divine origin of human rights and duties, and last b.ut not least the certainty that' civil government Is merely m/ln's appointed agent for the protection of God's gifts."

We must never forget that democracy is, before all else, a spiritual thing, an ideal. We must insist on Its re­ lationship .to God, or we will betray it.

its establishment. Father Stan­

"The Church of the Assump­

tion. situated on South Water

Street. New Bedford. was bought

on the 15th of August. 1905 by

Msgr. (Bishop) Stang, Father

Smyth of St. Lawrence Church,

vicar general of tile diocese, and

Father Raepsart, Provincial of

the Fathers of the Sacred Hearts,

to supply the spiritual needs of

the Cape Verdeans of tiew Bed­

ford.

"As it was acquired the 15th of

August, It was decided to call it

Our Lady of the Assumption.

"It was an old building (in 1957 much older) which had Ilerved in the forties as a chapel for the seamen, then under the chaplain, 'Father' Dennison, as a supply store for the needy.

"The Jewish people acquired it and held their services there; then it served as a kindergarten and finally was sold to a man who intended to make of It a storehouse. It was purchased for about $2700. The Bishop bor­ I'owed from the Five Cents Sav­ ing·s Bank in New Bedford the sUln of $3000.

Dedicated by Bishop StanG' "When everything was ready, I went~fol' a few days through the shops on Water Street to invite the people to come to church the Sunday following for the dedication, November 26.

1905. ·"Rt. Rev. Bishop Stang, ac­ companied by the Vicar General, Father Smyth. and his chancel­ lor, Father CassidY,and also by Father Marie Bernard, superiol' of FaIrhaven. and Father Umin­ ski. Pastor of the Polish fmm the North End, came to make the dedication of the new church.

"When the Bishop came In at 10: 15 there were about five per­ sons present. 'Is that all-?' asked the Bishop. I answered, 'That Is all. but I am g'olng to rIng the ., bell once more.'

"At 10 :45 we started the cere­ mony of the dedication, havIng perhaps 20 persons Inside. I saId Mass, the Bishop saId a few words in English at the Gospel and left at the last Gospel to keep an engagement. I gave a little sermon In Portuguese at the end of Mass, and so was started the work amongst the Cape Verdeans of New Bedford." .'aithful Parishioners Following Father ~anislalls as pastor there came Fathers Ar­ nold, Stephen, Egbert, Hubert and John, the present pastor.

Father Edmund FrancIs was ap­ pointed as the first assistant in the history of the parish in 1948 and the second assistant, Father :Raphael FlammIa, arrived In :A95G.

They are the equivalent of a good ex­ amination of conscience. They explicitly and bluntly raise the question as to whether or not the Catholic social action movement in the United States has 'been sufficiently interested in the lit­ urgy and sufficiently conscious of the importance of moral and spiritual reform as opposed to the reform of social and economic in­ stitutions.

The lare Father Virgil Michel -surely one of the most original and most influential Catholic writers this country has ever pro­ duced-was inclined to answer this question In the negative. He thought that, In general, the Catholic social action movement in the United States overem-' phasized purely natural measures of social reform, to the neglect of the supernatural. More speci­ fically, he was' of the opinion that the social action movement (up to the time of his death in 1938) paid far too little attention to 'the liturgy, which, he con­ stantly insisted, Is the indispens­ able basis of Christian social re­ construction. , Complete Program .

Around the Bishop's neck the Ambassador placed the Cross of the Order which Is made of red enamel, trimmed with gold and charged with a. smaller cross of white enamel. The cross Is sus· pended from the neck by a red ribbon with a golden buckle.

In his talk the Bishop related the pleasant memories he has of Fortugal from his visit there a few years ago. He spoke of the history of the Order of Christ· and the role the Order played 1n .the golden age of. Portuguese expansion, an exploration that earrled the faith of Christ with it. The Bishop praised the record ()f Portuguese expansion as fairer and more glorious in Its treat­ ment of persons than that of any ()ther nation.

The Bishop quoted Dr. Morri­ lion of Harvard to the effect that ()nly a really Christian common­ wealth can preserve freedom. He extolled Portugal as a model of the Ideals of freedom along with respect for the individual and for authority. The Bishop said that the nations of the' world which seek peace so desperately eould well take Portugal as a model of a nation that Is recon­ mtructlng Itself along the lines t)f true Christian principles and ideals. The sPiritual values rep· resented by the Cross of Christ have always influenced and still auide Portugal's development., Dignitaries Present

Episcopalian Favors Return of Murray WASHINGTON <NC) A prominent Episcopalian clergy­ man has \\Titten to a committee of Congress to praise the work of a noted Catholic laymen and to -join in a petition for his reap­ pointment to public ·office.

Dean Francis B. Sayre Jr., 01' the Washington Episc'opal Cathe· dral has written to Rep. Carl T. Durham of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy to say that Thomas E. Murray, a member of the Atomic Energy Commission•. "has brought a sense of moral responsibility and religious sen­ sitivity to the exercise of his du­ ties in a remarkable way. Al­ though he Is not a member of the church I have the honor to rep­ resent I have come to have the highest respect for his publia utterances and his service to the American people."

Eleven of 18 Senators and Rep­ resentatives who make up the Joint Committee on At 0 m i c Energy recently joined In a peti­ tion to President Eisenhower that he reappoint Mr. Murray to the commission. The Commissioner's term is about to 'expire.

Historical Resume of Code of Canon Law Continued From Page One compilations. He added two smail unofficial collections of . laws which had been promulgated later. The whole work was pub­ lished under the name Corpus Iurls Canonici. It became the basic text fpr the study and prac­ tice of canon law.

Papal Promulll'ation Yet the number of laws con­ tinued to grow. and at the end of the nlnteenth' century It was clear that a new and comprehen-' give collection was necessary. In 1904 Pope St. Pius X inaugurated the work of preparing the text.

The task was completed during the pontificate of Benedict XV. He promulgated the Code of Canon Law on Pentecost Sunday, May 27, 1917.

PUblication of the Code was the fruit of monumental labor.

The canonlsts had succeeded In reducing the mass of general leg­ Islation to a single book. Each canon Is a cal:efully-worded statement of .law. These canons determine the organization and administration of the various ter­ ritorial subdivisions within the Church. They define the compe­ tence of her officials. They gov­ ern the administration of the sacraments and . sacramentals and regulate the con d u c t of clergy and faithful In all things spiritual. When one compares this hand-book of canon law with the lengthy volumes that preceded it, tlje usefulness of this latest compilation is apparent. At the same time, one must admire the scholarship and industi'y of the canonist.,> who prepared the text.

Catholic University Codification of law does not mean that Its growth has come to an end. The law continues to develop as the Church adapts

herself to contemporary needs.

Just as in the past, scholars to­ day continue their studies and research in the field of canon la~w at the great universities throughout the world.

One such center of study is to be found at The School of Canon Law. The Catholic Uni­ versity of America, In Washing­ ton, D.C. The recently established Institute of Research and study In Medieval Canon Law is located on the campus. Under the direc­ tion of Professor Stephan Kutt­ ner of The School of Canon Law. the Institute is to produce new editions of the Corpus Iuris Canonici and other medieval texts, as well as critcial texts of manuscripts never printed before.

The ambitious program outlined

by Professor Kuttner will be car­ ried out with the cooperation of scholars from all parts of the world. It promises to be a great contribution to the studY of law a,nd medieval history as well.

Creigh Library New England also finds a place , in modern cimonical study. The Creigh Library of St. John's Sem­ inary, Brighton, Is exclusively devoted to canon law. It contains one of the finest collections of canonical literature in the United States. Many of our own students prepare for the priesthood at St. John's Seminary. The facilities of the Creigh Library are at their

disposal. It is to be hoped that

as time goes on the Library w111 become a center of advanced study and research as well.

This anniversary reminds us of the important role which the ,Code of Canon Law plays in the life of the Church. While a de­ tailed knowledge of the law is mostly the concern of the canon­ Ist, the law itself is important to every Christian. For It is God's will made known to us through the agency of His Church. One

effort to know the law and to

fulfill it is the measure of our

love for the Church and for

Christ, her Founder.

According to statistics by EI'lc Johnston, czar (or should one now say commissar?) of the film industry. the number of 10- to, 19-year-olds in the U.S.A. hit 25,137,000 In 1956. He says there also is a rapidly increasing numbel' of people over 65 who have leisure time Ilnd money tor movie _ going. Does' Hollywood offer them any Incentive to spend it'l Recent studio previews leave me in doubt. • I have seen our well-seasoned Gary Cooper, as a rich, American roue In Paris, making dlshonorable passes at several women, Ineluding the youthful Audrey Hepburn- one of the top 20 In my Exte~slon poll. "Love in the Afternoon", a sophisticated comedy, purports to end up happily. but how is a nice, young gfrl to expect happiness with a lecher?

Is not a sophisticated comedy to take any account of probabl1ltles?

"SQur Stench:' ]; have seen Burt Lancaster as a vicious, tyrannical American news columnist in "Sweet Smell of Success", which Clifford Od­ ets and Ernest Lehman might more appropriately title "SOUl' Stench of Failure." This colum­ nist bribes the police to "frame" or' beat up those who get in his way. He bullies and blackmail~ an indiscreet Senator, pushes around a boot-licking press agent (Tony Curtis) and lJJ. conceals a 61ck emotional interest in his own sister. Apart from the fact that, p a l' tic u 1 a r 1 y If this film shows abroad, American law en­ forcement, government; "free"

press and family life stand false­ ly "smeared" what good purpose can such a movie serve?

Does human degradation and deprav!t.y, high-lighted in many of Hollywood's ambitious new pictures, take sensible account of the healthly recreational de­ mands of American youth? Can such unrelieved evil hold any real Interest for those whose tastes In drama are aged by some wisdom and discernment? Aside from the old and young, are the rest of America's 170,000,000 60uls and more likely to respond to movies as a reliable source of pleasure, once the sampling pa­ tron runs into horrors of the kind mentioned? Where In fact is the public for such. unqualified dra­ matic concentrates of human baseness and misery?

Show for the Fall. Music for

although Lawrence wql not do

the whole thing himself, he WILL cater to youths who like good, pop ~USlc:. a timely and con­ structlve bid to compete with the zulu influence and jungle beat of some so-called "popular bands". And he's going to. give the youngsters music they'll like. too.

Lov~joy as McGraw When we shared a table with' Frank Lovejoy at Hollywood's movie-TV annual Communion Breakfast last February, I thought what a fine series he might do as a priest: a kind of friend and counsellor helping to solve different situations.

TV couldn't see anything like that, although opportunities for comedy and pathos abound. In­ stead NBC-TV saw Lovejoy as McGraw, "the guy who'll go any­ where; do anything inside the law, for a buck!" Theil' quotes, not mine. So we begin Frank's new series, "Meet McGraw" on NBC-TV, Tuesday, July 2nd, at 9 p.m. PDT. I couldn't get much out of Lovejoy who Is as press shy as Garbo, but I hope his tine talent Isn't going to be wasted.

By Most Rev., Fulton J. Sheen, D.n.

We are much more apt to:judge persons by the eyes of the flesh than by the eyes of faith, To the eyes of the flesh; lepers are the most pitiable of creatures: to the eyes of faith and to those who work with them, they are the most ·loveable. The following letters from a Bishop is typical of the attitude of,the Church: , "Far in the interior of our mission at an altitude of froan' six to nine thousand feet we have one hundred and fifty thou­ sand souls. They can be reached only bi plane. Thet'e is a veritable plague of leprosy. ,No one knows for sure but there are probably as many as three thousand lepers. We built a leper compound com­ posed of grass huts, and wards with fa­ cilities for some three hundred lepers.

Now there are four 'hundred in residence there. The grass buildings show sign of collapse. Moreover', they are very dan­ gerous in case of fire. We, would like to build a permanent colony with cement floors, cut timber walls and gaJvanized -iron roofs. A ward for twenty patienb will cost two thousand dollars or a hun­ dred dollars per 'bed. I feel that the conversion of the whole pop,­ ulati'ln will be only a matter of time If we clln take proper car,e 0'£ the lepers." . ,

WORCESTER. INC) - "The United States ·should be vigilant that It doelS not impose itself too stronglY upon the Iraqi nation," a Jesuit educotor, who has been there for 10 yel\rs, has cautioned.

F.ather Thomas F. Hussey, S.J., is presiden~ of Al-Hikma Univer­ sity and Baghdad College, both staffed by ,Jesuits of the New England Province. He is residing at Holy Cross Colle~e here before returning to Irll'Q. The Jesuit explained he was giving· the advice despite the fact that American aid and influence have been gratefully appreciated in Iraq. He said that the Iraqi people, like people of other na­ tions, are sensitive to the pOs­ sibility of being Imposed upon.

He declared tha t only through mutual understanding and edu­ cation can the West win their complete confidence and friend­ ship.

By Jack Kineavy

Professional sports, ba.seball in particular, are very much in the foreground today 5n the nation's ca~itol as a result of the opening of hearings by the CelIeI' Antl-Tl:ust Sub-committee. The object of the inquiry is to determme, on the .basis of evidence gathered, the advisability of slants had the Durfee hitters of! recomrpending to CongTess stride and the vaunted Hilltopper just never matrialized. the enactment of special leg­ offensive Third baseman McCormick of

1slatlon which would place pro­ fessional sports under the pur­ view of the anti-trust laws.

This Is not the first time that baseball has been threatened by Fed era 1 control. But down through the years, Supreme Court decisions Involving the validity of the reserve clause and the exemption of baseball from anti-trust jurisdiction have fol­ lowed precedent and upheld the decision of 1922. In that historic case, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes expressing the majority opinion held that "Personal effort not related to production 1s not a subject of commerce.

That which in its consummation 1s not commerce does not become commerce among the states be­ cause the transportation (of players across state lines) that we have mentioned takes place."

Up to Congress Then in 1955 the Court decided that the legitimate stage and boxing were businesses subject to the anti-trust laws. Profes­ sional football was added to the list. The Court contended that the volume of Interstate business in organized football placed It within the provisions of the law.

An Immediate reaction followed.

The Court was charged with being inconsistent and illogical 1n subjecting football and boxing to but exempting baseball from the tenets of federal anti-tl'Ust. Bert Bell, Commissioner of the National Football League and a l'egistered lobbyist in the halls of Congress, subsequently began buttonholing Congressmen on the issue and the Celler hearings became reality. For Chief Justice Warren in handing down the majority decision in the football case had observed that any re­ course that was to be had should come from Congress Itself.

Time Limit That Congress will eliminate the obviou~ Inequity by appro­ priate legislation is almost a certainty. Representative Hillings IR-Californla) has intI'oduced a bill which would place a five year limit on the reserve clause. All other phases of the game would be exempt. Colleague Keating R.­ N.YJ Introduced a second bill Which would put the business aspects of team sports under the anti-trust laws but would exempt playing rules and contracts. . Rep. Torbert MacDonald, (D.- ­ MassJ, in a letter to the nation's sportswriters went along with Hillings' proposal to limit the life of the reserve clause. The former Harvard football captain and minor leaguer would legalize the clause for four years after which if the player has not made the roster of the malor league club he would be declared a free agent eligible to negotiate him­ self. .

Plaudits are in order for the undefeated Durfee nine which annexed the State title at Hope­ well Park, Taunton, last Satur­ day. The game featured a pitch­ ing duel between Durfee's Tom Arruda and Paul Barbineau of Springfield Tech. Arl'Uda llmited the Western Mass. champions to four hits, while his oppon~nt gave \lp five. Tom registered 17 strike­ outs en route to his ninth win of the season. He made only one bad pitch and that to right field­ er Ken Rainey in the fourth.

There were two on at the time and Rainey lined a 3-2 serve into right center field for four bases IRnd three runs. It was the only well hit ball off AlTuda nIl after­ noon.

Meanwhile. En.1.'bin€uu'l! ilOt:t

Tech electrified the gathering­ again and again with the finest defensive exhibition of third base play this side of the majors.

Shades of George Kell, that boy had an aftenloon! The 11th in­ ning 4-3 victory gave Durfee its first State baseball crown and it also marked the first time that the title was annexed by an undefeated team. The Hilltoppers closed out with an 18-0 slate.

Once again it's All-Scholastic time. This area generally is over­ looked on first team selections out of Boston, but this year proved an exception. Durfee's Tom Arruda was a first team choice on both the Traveler and the Globe. Batterymate Russ Gibsori and Somerset'lS Jack.Fur­ tado joined Tom in the select Traveler group. The· Raider first baseman, Narry League batting champion, was the only Class B pnayer honored. Gibson, second baseman Luke Urban and center­ fielder Doug Baxendale wera named to the Globe bench which comprised players who were fin­ alists in choosing the All-SGho­ llllstic team. Furtado, Charley Parent of Prevost, and Dighton'S Al Tolley were named to the Class B All Star team.

Two boys who made both the Traveler· and Globe teams have already inked professional con­ tracts. Tippy Johnson, the most heralded athlete to come out of Lynn since the late Harry Agga­ nis, passed UP a football scholar­ ship to Michigan State to sign with Milwaukee. Outfielder John Silvonic of st. Mary's of Lynn previously had signed with the Red Sox. Both boys will compete in the all rookie Nebraska League.

The epidemic of . wholesale brawls that have plagued base­ hall this year reached a climax last week with mass fights in De­ troit. Chicago, and Brooklyn.

Two incidents involved the Yan­ Itees; all three were prompted by alleged dusters. Significantly. the settos involved pennant con­ tending teams.

Brush-back tactics have been tolerated, even anticipated after a long hit, for years. Players to­ day. however, are more conscious of personal safety than ever be­ fore and they are reluctant to go along with the established clay pigeon routine. The two-fold hazard that attends the duster­ the danger of injury to the hitter and the danger of injury as a result of retaliation-pla~es a heavy bmden on baseball offi­ cials. But it's a problem that has to be straightened out before baseball is reduced to mere l'OW­ dyism, or worse still, some one is killed.

,Cathedral Camp Provides Recreation, Education

Dreaming has played its constant part in the life of our youth from the very beginning. Like the children of every past age, today's children dream of their future.

When such dreams of a brighter future fade, the world of today may well look with apprehension toward 'to­ balanced meals, and'varied ac­ morrow. And yet these tivities. also provides a well in­ dreams, to be fruitful, must tegrated religious program which

The counselor is the camp to the camper. The influence of counselor on camper is' inestima­ ble. It is quite natural that the counselor will have a hand in the spiritual development of the boys under his care. At camp, a boy lives with his counselor many hours a day and the COun­ selor becomes mother":"-and dad. brothel', pal. and hero to the camper.

Seminarian Counselors Cathedral Camp is justifiably proud of its staff or counselors.

Every department is under the direction of leaders chosen for their ability in the field they supervise. Ever,y counselor is a seminarian whose ,life'is dedi­ cated to the service of others and during the summer he is dedi­ cated in a special way to Christ's "little one's"-your sons and our campers. The example, leader­ ship and dedication of these seminarian-cowlselors is un­ equaled in afly other camp in the area and is a precious heri­ tage left us by OUI' predecessors the priests of the diocese. ' On JlU1e 29 Cathedral Camp ,will begin its 38th season. Open­ ing Day at' C,athedl'al is a time never to be forgotten. It is a time of shinin~ faces and hope­ ful hearts. of gap - toothed grins that hide a touch of child­ ish trepidation. It is a happy, yet -4,;;:> half-fearful,time ,to a child's trembling and anticipating spirit and what it means could be told on~y by a boy who has' had the thrill of being present at Open­ ing Day. But whether it tie Opening ~ay or not, the first dlliy he ar­ l'lves· at Cathedral Camp is a' time when a dOQr swings open in a boy's small world. revealing wondrous vistas; sailboats. bows and arrows, speedboats,baseball, horses, swimming, canoes. hikes. barbeques, crafts, campfires and overnights in the wilderness: It is a time of .comradeship in fun and laughter and in tests and trials; an experience which brings the boy just that much closer to the 'man.

His stay at Cathedml Camp is a time.when the son whom your parents have rightly held so close takes his first step alone into a world which henceforth will be real to him: the worid of nature and the world of men, both be­ speaking the wonders of their common Creator.

Religious Program Cathedral Camp. besides mak­ ing adequate provision for exer­

ci~e,

wholesome living conditions. ciation than by books and serm­ ons. At Cathedral Camp religion is nC!t a separate and.distinct function in itself, but rather it is woven n~turallY into the com­

plete fabric of the overall camp­ ing program. : At Cathedral Camp the camper is also acquainted with social values, based on an understand­ ing of American life and the workings to make those sacrifices

of self-interest that are neces~ sary if he is to live 'later with his feliow men in peace and unity. By rubbing shoulders with boys of every conceivable per­ sonality. the camper learns the give and take of life. Special em­ phasis is given to working and playing well with others. being 2'ood leaders and, followers. playing fair. and practicing Christian social courtesy.

We ask you Catholic parents to consider seriously the possibi­ lity of giving your boy the ad­ vantage of the innumerwble so­ cial and spiritual benefits gained by a stay at Cathedral Camp.

It is our fervent prayer tha' many more boys will have the opportunity to benefit from our wonderful diocesa(l. camp. We b~­ lieve that Cathedral" Camp rates with the finest in the country from the standpoint of facilities. equipment. personnel, and pro­ gram necessary for healthy rec­ reation; moreover we offer that "something else" that Catholic parents must seek - dedication to the Catholic philosophy of fashioning youth in the image of Christ.
