VATICAN CITY (NC) - The fast and abstinence on the vigil of the Assumption has been transferred to the vigil of. the Immaculate Conception. The change is a permanent one. A decree setting it forth, issued by the Sacred Congrega tion of the Council, was signed by His Eminence Pietro Cardinal CIl'iact. Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of the Council, and Msgr. Francesco RobCl'ti, secre tary. The change in regulations was made, according to the decree, because "many ordinaries of various nations have called the attention of the Apostolic See'to the many difficulties Which, be cause of circumstances of time and place, run contrary to com plete obscrvance of the raw of fast and abstinence established for the vigll'of the A~sumpt1on."

Hollywood in Focus
Foe of Movie Code Urges More Dope Traffic Films By William H. Mooring
One is constantly amazed at the lengths to which antagonists of the Hollywood Movie Code will go on slam ming it. The Code is a set of moral and ethical regula tions voluntarily subscribed to by the major movie com· panies, It used to include a com understand that the Pope's words plete taboo on dope addic of hope and' solicitude were for tion as a screen subject. them and theirs also. a
That taboo was lifted, with stipulated cautions. about a year ago. We have ",.:" :,,':\1 since had two . ':.1 notable f i 1 m s, the Barney Ross .1 story, "Monkey '! On My Back" and the CUl' l'ently success ful "A Hatful of Rain." The Ross story labored de tails ot addiction, sensation alizing the "f1K" syringe and ended up with a cure that depict cd the horrors of withdrawal but made the "cold turkey kick" look much too easy. "A Hatful of Rain" concentrated on the devas-' tating effects of the habit upon a young victim's family life, finally leaving the process and prospect of cure to one's imagi nation. Now, once ag'aln, comes Bosley Crowther, film critic of the New York Times and an arch foe of 'the Movie Code, with the charge that "A Hatful of Rain" exposes l'the long-supported nonsense of the narcotics taboo." It is early to argue that because one film has been made in which dope addiction is constructively dram atized, there Is· not, nor ever was. a need for specified caution arid regulated policy in the treatment of narcotics as a movie subject. MI'. Crowther sees In "A Hatful of Rain" "a clear and even· em barrassing exposure of the nega tive natUl'e of the Screen's Pro tiuctlon Code." This attacks the whole structul'e of the Code on the basis of one rule. experiment ally amended, and is akin to arguing that we need no traffio lights because somewhel:e there is tlne driver who is cautious enough to stop at every Intersection wlY10ut one. Suggests Others MI'. Crowthel' arg'ues that "now we have this picture ('Hatful of Rain'), we should have others that give an equally valid com prehension of the traffic in tiope." He says "we mig'ht even have a pictUl'e that questions the intelligence' of our reg'ulatlons with respect to narcotics." Indeed we might have a picture which questions the intelligence and the motives of some Ameri can jurists who have softened the punishment of convicted dope peddlers. Perhaps another film to question the motives of certain authors whose books have been filmed in violation of the Code, 50 as to make the dope habit an alluring screen subject in which sug'gestions of easy cure have tended to tempt the unwary to "try the stuff, just once." The political backgTounds of at least one writel' might throw interesting light on OUl' worsening dope problem and its relationship to the fast-growing, lllicit traffic in opium' and heroin from Red China and other communist ter ritories,' to the countries of toe West, including our own United States. By all means let us have all the "dope" on the dope habit and those now interested In spreading it. However, unless Hollywood can Rrrang'e accuracy and social pru dence in the telling of this story, the U. S. Treasury Department, which knows all the facts, had betLer take a drastic hand. The Pope and th~ Boy When the Holy Father blessed the brave, stricken little boy, It became world news because he was the son of celebrity Red Skelton. Sufl'erlng pal'ents every where might have beeu given to

Some reporters fumbled th8 facts, said this little boy, born or "Protestant parents" was now desirous'of coming into the Cath olic Faith. They seem to hava dramatized the quotes also, put ting into the mouth or this anguished father, words that could not have come from his mind Ol' heart. If Red Skelton really said: "This is the nearest I'll ever get to God," he had not yet fully realized what the Holy Father had meant when he told his little boy: "From now on you shall live fOl' "eternity." It did not read well for those outside the Faith who do not understand that the Pope Is not God, but the Vicar of Christ on earth. There was the lump in Red Skelton's throat and the ache In his heart. Words would not come easily. A business asso ciate spoke fOl" him, trying to help. Neither on that day nor any other would Skelton likely have denied his Catholic baptism. He remembers his own carefree bOyhood when he used to serve altar. fOt· Father Doll, back In Vincennes, Indiana. Producer Listens Film producer Jerry Wald, just back from a crQss-country visit with Hollywood's cash customers, tells his buddies something this column has been trying to tell them fOl' more than a year.He says thea tel' owners and plctura fans complained to him "about 1IIms In which male stars make love 'to girls youllg enough to be their daug·hters." He also says "the film writer today Is fumb ling ... he's lost. He has forgot ten how to be enchanted ... how to deal with simple emotions, So instead he writes about psycho neuroses." Wald himself has made good films and bad. Now he's planning "No Down Pay ment," about the housing prob. lem and everyday life. This ought to help, but leaves more to be done. . Before Wald can Induce his fellow movie producers to shake their current obsession with bo vine glamor girls, spiritually sterile playboys, crazy youths and social situations unrecognizable outside of Hollywood, he must coax back to sanity the many Hollywood writers, directors, ac tors and producers who, in recent years, have substituted psycho analysis for religion, Then and not until then, will they start thinking and writing about other people; real people, Instead of about themselves,

Today, I feel like throwing my hat in the air. Our second spiritual gift to Cardinal, Mindszenty is even more astounding than the first.

Jigion in a democratic society" j1!l one of the initial projects in its recently announced inquiry into "the basic issues of individual freedom and civil liberty." Two .priests will be among the group dealing with the religion topic, aecording to the July bul letin of the Fund which has headquarters here. , "The Fir~t Amendment gua rantees the right of the indivi-, dual to the free exercise of religion and prohibits govern mental establishment of any church," the bulletin said., "But in our increasingly com ,Plex society, many issues.remain unsettled - problems of censor- ' ship, parochial schools, adoption. etc. To explore the basic issues underlying 'these controversies. the project will deal with the relationship between church and state, the role of religion in public life, the right of religious dissent; the meaning of freedom 'from' as well as 'for' religion," said the fund's bulletin. Listed as a "special consultant'" for the religion study is Father 'John. Courtney Murray; Jesuit theologian from Woo d s t 0 c k (MdJ College. The other consult 'ant is Dr. ~einhold Niebuhr.

Helps and Hints for Those
About to Plan a Wedding
5
By Mary,Tinley Daly It seemed to the author that this column had dwelt
excessively on Eileen's wedding. Soon as it was over, we decided to write of other facets of daily life. Readers, however, seem to have other ideas.. To our surprise, ~hey weren't as Brennan, a skilled mil bored as we had suspected Grandma liner, to make the hats. ,for many letters have come Then there was Leo Stock who ask i 11 g "How'd it go?". worked six hours knocking down "What did you wear?" "What are the first steps to take' when planning a wed- c"":' ding?", "Were: there any 'bugs' : that we could: avoid In a slml- ' lar experience?" and the practi cal, "How can you cut comers 1n expense?" and "How do you fig u l' e 0 f quantities ~ tood?" Many a read- . er has gone through this over and over again and here we are, sounding off, just like a young mother home from the hospital with her first baby and ready to tell the world all about rearing , children! However... First the factuals: It went just fine and I wore blue lace. Now. for whatever help it will be: "Bugs?" Several. There was the Invitation sent to a complete ly unknown Mrs. Smith whose answer showed her uttel' amaze ment-and'a close relative of the iame name left out ...

Weeks lat ~r, my small brother and sister located the stale decorated deli cacies and almost made them lielves sick. (To this day, every, body thinks the kids hid them de liberately.) Eileen's mints showed up that night so Ginny was ex onerated. A few "do's" for those about to litart on wedding plans: As soon as the date Is decided upon, make arrangements with the church, get date and hour signed up and the priest who will perform the ceremony. If possible, take a pre-Cana course -even a part of one.
Decide, In family consultation~'
the amount to be spent and then start apportioning. . Keep a record of everything in 8 sturdy notebook-telephone numbers, names, estimates, etc. Get plenty of estimates.

Peter's Pence
During World War·n, Allied planes in. attempting to destroy the Rome railroad terminal missed, and some of their bombs fell on and around the Church ·of St. Law rence in a heavily-populated section of the 'city. Many of the people hurt and made homeless were poor. As soon as he received word of what had happened, the Holy. Father . ,left Vatican City and came into the scene of'destruction while the dust was still settling. He had brought with him all the money that 'he could lay his hands on, and with heart aching for these, the people of his own Diocese, with tenderness and kindness he walked through the ruins comforting his people, taking the little ones into his arms, -speaking words of consolation to the bereaved, giv~ng money to those who had lost all. The Pope returned to the Vatican many hours later with his white cassock sta~ned with the blood of those whom he had gone to comfort. This incident received much publicity at the time,
but, in reality, there is nothing unusual about it. The Holy
Father is always the benevolent father to all men, turn ing to all, otfering wisdom and the way. to God. He is also
called upon for material pelp, especially from poor and
mission countries where he is the last court of appeal for
those in need. '
The Peter's Pence collection is taken up so that the Pope may, as our agent, receive from us who have and. 'giveto those whose material needs'must be fu]filla) before they can pay attention to the Gospel of Christ.

Peter's Church, Drogheda, where the head of the martyred Primate of All Ireland is enslu·ined. A Solemn Votive Mass was celebrated by Msgr. H. Farrell, pastor of St. John Baptist parish in Perth, Onto Bishop Russell J. McVinney of Providence presided. . The ceremonies coincided with the ninth anniversary of the Bishop's .consecration and the thirty-third of his ordination. In an address, Bishop McVinney said he was tremendously impressed by the demonstration of piety and would retain the memory of the occasion· long after his return to the United States. The Church in America, he said, would not be so strong except for the Irish emigrants who had carried the faith and Catholic traditions to their new ·homes. He remarked on the fact that many among the American HierarchY are of Irish descent. By direction of the Irish Hierarcby, the day was one of special prayer for the canonization of Blessed Oliver, who was martyred in London In 1681.

Purpose of Marriage Is Procreation of Children

By Re~. John L. Thomas, S. J.
St. Louis University
We've just had our third child in four years. We're healthy, happy, relatively free from debt, and qUite con tented with the way things are going. We wanted a family to God for giving us when we married and are gratefUl , one. But others don't seem to look at it our way.

Urges Rejection of Myths In American Way of Life
VIENNA (NC) - A note of uneasiness concerning the Red· Czechoslovak government's scien tific atheism campaign among the country's youth was sounded in Pravda (Truth). official news paper of the Slovak Communist Pl\rty. According to the paper. the eampalgn to wean. Czechoslovak ,youth away from religion Is not very, successful. One third of all the country's young people. the Bratislava paper said, belong to famllles where the home atmos phere is "extraordinarily reli gious," In view ot this "dangerous" situation the newspaper called on government officials to take "energetic action to insure an efficient materialistic education" for the country's youth.

Russia may have some in Three years ago this September, Jubilee magazine . viet nuence on Marshal Tito of Yugo published a feature article entitled: "Catholics and U. S. slavia. Labor"-an lllustrated survey of what American bishops, As of now, Marshal Georgi priests, and laymen have done to implement Catholic so Zhukov, Soviet Minister of De fense, will not get 'an invitation cial teaching in the field of to visit the ·United States. That Friend and Counselor labor - relations, There was In her later years, as she is the best information available only one major gap in this traveled from one end of the from official sources, following the unfavorable reaction kickel1 survey: It failed to mention country to the other on special up by President Eisenhowe~'s re-·
the contribution which the Cath olic women and, more specifical ly the teaching Sisters of the United States have made in the field of reU glon-and-labor. As one of those who was consulted by the editors of Jubllee in the preparation of this survey, the present writer belatedly and' feebly tried to make amends for this unchivalrous oversight in a column written approximately a real' later. To lllustrate the mag nificent work that the teaching Sisters of the United States have been doing over the years In the 80clal apostolate. we cited the case of Mother Emily, first Mother Superior of the Sinsi nawa (Wisconsin) Dominicans, Whose biography had just been written by Mary Synon of the Commission on American Clt! tenship at the Catholic Univer 8ity of America. Debt to Sistel's We had completely forgo·~ten about this column until we re ceived word that an old friend, Sister Thomas Aquinas, O.P. one of Mother Emily's more distinguished proteges-died un expectedly on Saturday morning, July 20, at Corpus Christl Con vent in New York City. It sud denly dawned on us then, in a more personal way, how much we owe to so many Sisters in the field of social reform and how seldom we give them the recogni tion to which they are so richly entitled. Sister Thomas Aquinas, former president of Rosary College In River Forest, D1inois, was a tre mendous influence for good in the field of social action: As a member of a Religious Commu nity she was not, of course, in a position to participate directly in the field of social reform as such. But within the limits of her rellgious calling she carried on a tireless apostolate of social edu cation and inspiration, largely through correspondence and per 80nal contact. Consuming Interest The range of her interests and her reading was incredibly wide. Indeed I think it would be fail' to say that a few of her con temporaries - priests, Religi9us, or laymen - had a more con Imming interest In the problems of the day or a better under I5tanding of the relationship be tween the spiritual 'and the temporal orders. More important than that, however, was Sister Thomas' ex traordinary enthusiasm for every good cause In the field of social reform and her ablllty - even in her decUning years to transmit this enthusi\lsm to her multitudi nous friends, Religious and lay, In all parts of the United States. She had a special talent for encOtlraging people in all walks of life - llarticularly the young -to hold to their ideals in the field of social reform regardless of obstacles. She would prod them gently from time to time with a postcard or a letter, chal lenging them, in the Name of Our 'Lord, to use their talents unselfishly for the benefit of their fellowman. She must have W'rlttf>n hundreds of such epistles every year to young and old alike.
assignments from her Superiors. she held court in whatever con vent she might be temporarily residing. SCores of priests, Sisters, and lay people - including a number in high places-wel comed the opportunity to chat with her informally about their problems and their future hopes and aspirations. She was Intense ly interested in everything they were doing and invariably sent them away with a new spirit of enthusiasm and personal dedica tion. Sister Thomas Aquinas. was Indeed a great soul ahd wlll be sorely missed by thousands of people, but particularly by those of us who benefited from her, counsel and her constant en-· coura,gement in the field of social actiori. This side of the grave we shall never be able to measure adequately the great· debt of gratitude that we owe to her memory. R.I.P.

mark, in response to a question, that talks between Marshal Zhu kov and p. S. Secretary of De fense Charles E. Wilson might serve some useful purpose. This may head off, or further delay, a visit to the country by Marshal Tito, the communist dic tator of Yugoslavia; It was being rumored in this city that the proposal to bring Marshal Tito here as an official visitor was being revived. It was said that he would come in Oc tober. It was impossible to confirm or dispel this rumor. It did seem to have some substance, however. An attempt was made to bring Tito here on an official visit last spring, but it fizzled In the face of opposition, notably in Con gress, where an impressive num ber of law-makers signed a docu ment in protest. But; it was not said at that time that the project had been abandoned; merely that the time for it was not right.,The Congressmen withheld sending their protest to the White House. but wal'l1ed that they would keep it handy, and dispatch it if the matter came up again. Last spring, when Congress men threatened to boycott any appearance Tito might make 'on Capitol Hill, it was suggested that he might be brought here while Congress was in Easter re cess. Tito indicated he would not come under the· circumstances. It is thought that he might ac cept an Invitation to come in Oc tober, even though he could not address a Joint session of Con-

Besides, it is argued. he could use an invitation to this country in the gam~ he is now playing with Khrushchev. The White House professed amazement that some newspa pers interpreted President Eisen hower's press conference remark to mean that he "favored" or "suggested" a visit by Marshal Zhukov. Nothing of the sort was intended, it was indicated. But it did stir immediate and widespread opposition. This de velopment should give pause to any officials who might have been entertaining the idea of haVing Marshal Tito come over for a visit in the fall.

Love and Suffering
God Love You By Most Rev. Fulton I: Sheen, D.D.
\~
Little children sometimes make Last WiUs and Testaments. Our Lord also made a: Last Will and Teiltament on the eve of Hift Death in which He gave' that, which 011 dyinlf, no one else could have ever given, namely Himself.
A little girl from the Mid-West whose name was LilI, made her will in the midst of her greatest suffering. LiU was suffering from. cancer. Many people sent her small gifts which often contained money. Several daYi before her death she gave her mother the' following instructions: "Mommy, I want you to take this money'aqd use it to buy anything you need for me while I am sick, or for what ever you might want to get for ,me. And whatever I have left after that, Mommy, I want you to send the rest, to Bishop Sheen to help the poor children . . . ." Lili died on the Feast of The Sac'red
Heart. According'ly. after bel' dea'th, her
mother sent what was in her treasury to
the Sociei)' for th.e Propagation of the
Faith.
It is not health. nor prosperity, nor wealth that ever induces the
faithful to think of the Missions; but rather, it is through trials and 'sufferings. It was after Our Lord had suffered that He said to His Apostles: ,"Go ye into the world, teaching all nations." It was after Lili suffered that she was mindful of the poor children of the world. Love and suffering always hand in hand. Where there is suf.:. 'fering. there is love of Christ and His Church; where there is love, the Catholics make sacrifices and, therefore, suffer for the Missions, Make a sacrifice. it may be small, like the price of a dessert or des serts for Q week or a package ,of cigarettes or the evening paller. Your sacrifice may be large like an amount which would take care of the schooling of a seminarian; or an Annuity of Q Will made out to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. But large or small sacrifice out of love, and the sweet joy that comes from denying self will be yours.

EVERYONE ELSE FIRST
Like true missionaries, The Carmelites, upon
corping to Kannampally, India, over three
years ago, thought first of the village tots and
built a school in which to teach them about
their Lord; then, of the chapel for the Lord to
,dwell among His people, All the while they
themselves lived in a miserable shed. Now the
Holy Fa'ther begs a few thousand to give them
a simple, but decent convent. The Sisters be
'gan It last year but funds ran out. Can you
help a little?
ALPHONSE, PLEASE Not great St. Alphonse-though, surely h61s interested in her but SISTER ALPHONSE MARIA, together with her companions with the Sacred Heart Sisters in India, e.s well as SISTER MARUI: AIMEE in Iraq and SISTER MIRIAM CATHERHJE In Lebanon, are all anxiously awaiting the answer to their prayers for 6 friend to supply the $150 yearly needed for their keep during two years training-help whicli their poor parents can't afford. Won't you'help one? Any payments to suit your convenience.

Berra's Batting A.verage Causes Stengel Concerrn

By Jack Kineavy
::
Somerset HI,h School Coach
{
Lawrence "Yogi" Berra has donned spectacles in an effort to get untracked at the plate. The amiable Yankee backstop, possessor of' a lifetime batting average that hovers around the select .300 class, hasn't been able even to approximate his. custo mary plate performance this spot· on the Kansas City roster. wherein the Yankees Influence Is season.. At the present time lacking. No less- than 16 Kay with the season better than Ceers were at one time or another
60 percent gon,e, one has to go 'way down to the .230 listings b e for e encountering Berra's name. It Is felt In some Quarters that the bizarre early season ac cident that occurred when Yogi's face mask was smashed by a foul tip fracturing his nose must also have Impaired his vision to some degree. Manager Casey Stengel Is Ilenuinely concerned over Berra's failure to hit his stride and the attendant efIect Yogi's Ineptnellll 18 exerting on the Bomber attack. For with Berra In the throes of a prolCl'l1ged slump. rival pitchers are walking Mantle at an un precedented rate. Mickey seems a. Ilure bet to set new marks for the most Intentional walks and total bases on balls. Actually, the Yanks wQuld be In a far more serious predicament were not Bill . Skowron taking up the slack. The "Moose" Is hitting at a .326 clip and had accounted for 68 runs-batted-In as of last Friday. Comics Funnier We trust that grasses will prove It panacea for "YOgf." In one re Epect they already have. An avid comics reader, Berra reports that the glasses make print stand out and the comics funnier. Two first string American League catchers, Clint Courtney of Washington and Tim Thompson of Kansas City, weal' glasses all the time. However, looking at the situa tion realistically, I can't recall an instance where the donning of glasses Improved or prolonged a major leaguer's career. And yet it is premature to consider that 'Berra, at 32, has had· It. During his 10 year tenure with the Yankees, Yogi has thrice won the American League's Most Valuable Player AWaJ:d (1951, 1954, 1955). The only other three time winners In the junior circuit have been Jimmy Foxx and Joe DiMaggio. Berra played his first baseball on the sandlots not far from St. Ambrose parish school In tl1e Italian district of St. Louis. Graduating from st. Ambrose, he went Into Junior Legion ball where his talents attracted the Yankees. "Yogi" went up to the majors as an outfielder but was converted Into a catcher. His teacher was one of the best, Bill Dickey. Bel'l'a's adjustment to his catching role was both rapid and complete. "Yogi" now counsels parents of baseball-bent young sters to make catcher~ out of their youngsters. He cites the big demand for good catchers making it possible for neophytes to work their way up faster. behind the plate than at any other position. Judge of Catchers . No less than seven pretenders to Berra's throne are now estab lished major leaguers. Which leads us to the inescapable con clusion that the Yankee Organ ization is a keen judge of catch ing potential. Or are we being too narrow In that limitation? At any rate, the list of ex-Yankee backstopping chattels is an Im posing one. Sherm Lollar of the White Sox heads the list, though Sherm Is experiencing plate dif ficulty not unlike Berra this sea lion. Then, there Is Washington's Clint Courtney, affectionately known as "Scrap-iron," and his teammate, Lou Berberet. :BJg Gus Triandos of the Orioles .111 another, and Hank Foiles PJtt~buI'gh, and Charley Silvera I1ml enl Neeman of the Cubs are the NntJoDnl 1,eague l'rpreS€Dta tlVl'Ij, ()atcl1Jng jt; about t.tle {}J,ly
In the Yankee chain. A loyalty probe may be In order here, what with the A's puerile efforts again this season. Novel Theory Anent the promiscuous use of the beanball of date, George Sel kirk director of player personnel In the Athletics organization you guessed it, he, too, was 8 Yankee ......:. has a novel theory. selkirk contends that the pro tective helmets now worn by most batters has erased whatever com punction a pitcher may have had about throwing at a hitter's head. George may have something there, but it's dOUbtful his ob servations will cost Branch Ric key any sleep. Rickey, you know, Is a prime mover in the American Baseball Helmet Co. and doing right well, thank you. An edict that Is apt to have a salutary effect on curbing the brawling Incidents that have. in particular. marred play In the National League Is President Warren Giles' directive to the managers In his loop. Giles pro poses to hold the pilots In strict accountability for playing field rhuoarbs In which their .players are involved. Managers Alston and Tebbetts immediately pro tested the practicable enforce ment of such a policy. but the league office remained adamant We are prone to think that Giles has hit the nail plumb. After all, the manager sets the policy for . the club and If fistic action is forcefully dlscow'aged, It must follow that wholesale donny brooks will be eliminated. Control on the bench is the only answer. Two Massachusetts boys played stellar roles In the recent South e1;n Association All Star game. Joe Morgan, Atlanta shortstop, villi Boston College, hM two hits In three trips as lead-ofI maq for the Stars, and Jim McManus, Birmingham first baseman, and a graduate of St. Mary's High, Brookline the same ·school that produced Dick Farrell of the Phillies - had two for four. His single in the eighth inning scored Harmon Kellebrew - he was up with Washington early In the season - with the winning run in the'7-6 contest. KielY Comeback vut In the Pacif1c Cuast League, Leo Kiely is making a determined bid to get back with the parent Red Sox. The lanky portsider cmrently owns a 13-2 record and has a remarkable 1.97 earned run average. Only the fact that the Seals ·are front run ning in. the league deters the Sox from recalling Kiely, for they are sorely pressed for a good left handed fireman. Sox' officials are very much 'aware of the out standing managerial job turned In by Joe Gordan and he is be ing touted as the next Bosox pilot. Joe, you'll recall, quit a coaching job at Detroit last sea son after a tiff with the since deposed Spike Briggs. A runner from a Catholic college in the United. States sur prised millions of· British tele vision viewers by slowly'and de liberately making the sign of the cross after winning a race. Ron Delany, Irish track star from Villanova University, had just finished winning. the half-mile race at the White City Stadium, s big London athletic event, when he blessed himself before IltaI ting television cameras.

Sports Writer Deplores Act~ons
O·f Many AmericanSpe(;t'Dt'OfTS
NOTRE DAME - The traits of many American sports fans "run tbe gamut of sheer madness, ju venile vulgarity, unreasoned hos tility ,Whimsical loyalties and shoddy sportmanship," John Kuenster, a sports writer for the Chicago Daily News, charges In an artiCle in the current issue of The Ave Maria, national Catholic weekly magazine published here. Mr. Kuenster, who travels with th~ Chicago White Sox, says there are "ominous signs" in creased leisure time devoted to sports "can warp the soul of man under the pretext of refreshing his mind and body. There Is something about most spectator sports that tends to exploit man's venal nature. 0 I "For instance, what does it profit a man If he goes to the ball.game for a little relaxation and sunshine, and winds up bloated with beer and cursing the umpire?" He adds that he has "seen paid customers get blindly drunk at the Kentucky Derby, disgustingly inebriated at Yankee· Stadium, al)d completely Intoxicated at Comiskey Park." Real sports fan.s, the sports writer says, glory and suffer, too, during a game, "but, at the same time, they can enjoy the fine points of play that cause the emotional reaction." Genuine sports fans, Mr" Kuenster conclUdes, will agree with the statement last year by
Pope Pius. XII "... it is not the strength of one's muscles nor the quick reflexes nor the vic'tories easily attained that constitute the nobility Rnd attractiveness of sports. It is .rather the sure do minion over one's spiritual facul ties."
