Each year at this time we renew a memory. We"recall the most wonderful thing thaf ever hap pened, something long-aWaited, much prayed fo'r. We relive a mystery of Faith: how God became Man. We who have lent Him humanity, through Mary, C)Uf Blessed Mother, are in tur~ lifted up to a share .. His Divinity. Christmas, then, deserves the full attention of ofl men: It prompts them to be at their best. It sets a standard of good-living and promises true peace for those that are friends of God, - men of good wi~1.
This year we keep the festival in a lengthening shadow of suspicion and ill-will. The' talents and the, skills of men are being abused to the point that they' make more for servility than for freedom of -the sons of God. Sputnik has startled the world by its careening through the heavens. Like all things man-. made it has its limitations. Too bad that it appears as a harbinger of war rather than peace. Against the uncertain, faltering course of the satellite, the stars still shine. They tell us of the Creator and His Glory; Wise men have been drawn by ",~ stud'y of the heavens to 'the knowledge and love of God. None more so than the ancient three who c:ame to pay devoti9n to the Babe of Bethlehem. Grear was their knowledge and great their faith. Gr~a1' must haye been their reward in blessedness and peace of soul. Amid all our troubles and anxieties we should remember that Faith is a fixed star. It can serve us os it did the Wise men of old. It can guide us to the s.ource of true and lasting peace which no man oon ever take away from us. One of our writers was wont to say: "God's i.n His heaven, all's well with the world." Better than that, we hasten to say: "Here is Emmanuel,- God with us, to be our Guide, our Life and our Hope." A blessed peaceful € h ristmas to all. Faithfully yours in Christ,

Asserts Schools Must Cooperate' With Religious CHICAGO (NC) - The . "wall of separation between ehur~h and state" can easily become a wall of separation between the state school and the eommunity -it serves, a Catholic educator asserted here. Dr. Charles Donahue, profes sor of English at Fordham Uni versity, New York, said the "wall" resulting from a secularist educational program can become "a wall of separation between home values and school values in the person of the child." Religiously neutral education is "a complete impossibility," Dr. Donahue began. "It may be a theist image or it may be what some call a humanist image, but it cannot be both at the same time." Succumbs to Protests Declaring that in early Amer ica, the moral and religious pro grams of state schools centered around "a generalized Protestant theistic image of man," he said this broke down under protests of minorities, and "no serious attempt seems to have been made to attain some kind of pluralistic consensus." "As one feature of the reli gious program after another aroused objections it was simply eliminated. As a 'result, a kind of moral and spiritual vacuum was created in many state IlChools." But, he continued, it was rec ognized that "since God could not be mentioned in the state schools without offending some body, a non-theist image of man would have to be presented to support the moral structure of the school community,."
The result waS' a non-theist, or secular, image of man, he added. However, he declared, such a program "tends to create a class room atmosphere where only the pupil from a secularist family feels completely at home. Pupils from theist families live with
one image of man at home with
another at school."
Declaring that if the state can
not establish a religion, then
"surely, it cannot establish or
give special favor to a secularist
substitute for religion which is,
itself, a religion in the broad
sense."
Expressing objections to any
program for "direct theist in
struction" in state schools, Dr.
Donahue said that another way
to encourage a theistic image of
man "will be found in further
cooperation between home,
church and school." '
The first step, he stated, "is to
pierce the wall of separation
between the state school and the
religious life of the community."
"In a sense, it is absurd to talk
of keeping religion out of' the
state schools... Children cannot,
leave their religion, like their
coats, at the door. The school,
as I see it, has no real choice
except to confront and, as far as
possible, cooperate with the va
rious faiths."
To develop a "pluralistic reli

gion program" will obviously take time, patience and experi ment, he said. St'ressing "due consideration to the rights of individual families and minority groups," Dr. Dona hue said the goal of his suggested ' program would be "an atmos phere where each child felt that the religious convictions he brought. from home and church, his image of man, was a neces':' sary part of the pluralistic' so ciety of the classroom." Dr. Butts sa'id state schools should foster "the image of the free man," which he defined as a man "intellectually free, polit ically free, personally free and religiously free.", , He said public schools "should cultivate the idea that in a free society the free man will be free to choose his religious belief and free to worship as he pleases without compulsion or coercion frOm the estate or any religious authority." Religion should be taught in ,public schools, he added, "just as political, economic and other in stitutions." These schools have "gone too far in failing to study religion as an important phase of culture," he added. But he said the public school teacher cannot "inculcate reli gious doctrines with a view to coercing or persuading students to accept a form of religious belief." In fostering the image of free , men, he asserted, the school should not define or promote "religious sanctions as desired by any religious organizations," nor should it require generalized belief in God as a sanction for knowledge, 'citizenship, morality or personal development." "The churches synagogues,
and religious groups are, free to
make these religious claims
through writing, preaching, lit urgy, worship and private schools, but the public schools of all the people should not do so."

Register Story Brings Action DAYTON (NC)-A news story in' a diocesan newspaper in 1931 h,~lped pave the way for the establishment of the Legion of Mary in, this country, an article published here brings out. The article, entitled """d""",>" "The Legion of Mary Storms 'the U.S.A.," was written by Bishop Charles H. Helmsing of Springfield-Cape Girar deau, Mo. The article recounts how in the summer of 1931 Father Joseph P. Donovan, C.M., of Kenrick Seminary in St. Louis, went to Paris as a delegate to a general chapter of his congregation. While in Paris he learned of the Legion of Mary from an Irish friend. He went to Dublin to see the legion in action. When he returned to Kenrick Saminary he spoke glowingly of it. A brief news account of his remarks ap peared in' the Denver Catholic Register, newspaper of the Den ver archdiocese. "The short news report in the Denver Register," Bishop Helm sing says in his article, "brought immediate action from the min ing town of Raton, New Mexico. The pastor wrote to Ireland for further details. And the first Le gion of Mary praesidium in the United States. was formed No vember 27, 1931, among the min ers of St. Patrick's parish.
VATICAN CITY (Radio, NC) -To assure its being brought to the attention of the whole world by means of press and communications coverage, the annual Christmas message of His Holiness Pope Pius XII will.this year be broadcast on December 22 over the Vatican Radio station. The occasion will mark the first time that the Pope has delivered his speech three days in advance of Christmas. The broadcast starts at 11 ,A. "M. Rome time (5 A. M. EST). The Christmas message is customarily deiivered on Christmas Eve, when the Roman Cardinals visit the Apostolic Palace to convey their greetings of the season to the Pontiff. His response to their greetings has come to be his annual Christmas message. In past years the messages have average about 6,000 words. In 1954, however, during the Pope's serious illness, he broad-
on the Sunday befo;e Christmas, stressed the urgent need for dis armament. This year's Christmas message will be the 19th Pope Pius has delivered since assuming the papacy in 1939.
cast a brief, 600-word greeting and blessing from his sickroom. ,That year the transmission of the message was delayed until January, 1955, when the Pope had regained his strength. No details about this year's message have been released but observers here believe the mess age will run its customary length and probably will deal with world peace. Vatican sources have been quoted as saying that, "the mess
age will be of great importance this year."
Last year's message, delivered
It was learned that following the Pope's delivery of the mess age, the Vatican Press Office will issue transla~ions of the text in 28 langauges, inCluding Russian and English.
For two days after the Pon-
tiff's own delivery, Vatican Radio plans to suspend the greater part of its regular pro grams in order to broadcast all the translations of the Christ mas message. ~n addition to Russian, the translations will include Czech, Slovak, Chinese, Croation, Polish and the' other principal lan guages of all the communist held countries. The translations will be beamed to the areas where they are spoken, by means
of the powerful facilities of the new Vatican- radio transmitting station. --------------

Quarter a Day Provides Medicine Need to Rid World of Le'prosy Would you give 25 cents to rid the world of leprosy? Leprosy, you say? The word lhas a Biblical ring. ,Most of us don't think of it as a present day problem. Yet in this twen tieth century, the age ofsput niks and entirely conceivable trips to the moon, three million people still suffer from a disease known and dreaded at the time ef Christ. Leprosy, indeed, seemed an affliction calling forth the special sympathy of the Sa vior. Time and again the Gos pels tell of His healing of lepers. Perhaps that is why they are especially dear to the hearts of medical missionaries who labor in all parts of the wQrld in be half of these suffering children of God. But the same twentieth cen tury which has 'brought us the problems of space conquest, peaceful co-existence, and the rest, has brought miracles of healing to the leper., In place of the slow uncertainties of chaulmoogra oil treatment, all that had been available to lepers for generations in the way' of medication, science has devel oped new drugs which promise almost certain cure or arrest of the disease. Word of these magic drugs has spread like wildfire among the lepers of the world. With one voice they beg medical mission aries for ,them. The drugs are ' available; missionairit~s and lep ers alike arc pitifully eager to use them. All that prevents the possible eradication of leprosy from the face of the earth is money., ' Worth the Price And that's where your quarter comes into the picture. We're accustomed to, paying large amounts fOI' drugs. But the fact that most drugs are so expen sive makes the story of drugs for-lepers the more remarkable. The medication that means the difference between a happy, full Rife and a mere wretched exist ence costs only 25 cents per day per'leper! Who could resist giving a quarter, or many quarters, in such a good cause? And the happy fact is that for several years. many members of the Fal.! River diocese have quietly been making contributions for this very purpose. Under the super vision of. Rev. Raymond T. Con sidine, dio~esan director of the Propagation of the Faith, a Christmas appeal is made yearly on behalf of lepers cared for in missions throughout the world. One contributor, giving what may seem to him a small amount, may feel he isn"t doing much to combat a mighty problem, but if that contributor could see the letters of almost tearful grati tude from missionaries that are on file in Father Considine's of fice, he would realize what his mite, joined to' those of all the other givers in the diocese, has accomplished. Diocese Aids Many He would be impressed, ,first of all, at the number of mission aries aided by the relatively small diocese of Fall River, no ting that contributions are sent to the.countl'ies of Korea, South India, Africa, ~olivia; Venez~ela,

Pontif~cal Mass in St. Pete~'s
Highlaghts Christmas Observance ROME (NC)-Christmas turns all Italy into a glitter ing, colorful kaleidoscope of traditional festivities, folklore and religious rite. In other lands Christmas may be found to be much the same from city to city. But . at Greccio a crib with real men in Italy almost every village instead of figurines is' prepared, has its own special "some to recall the Christmas Eve cel ebrated there by the saint in thing" that makes it dif ferent from Christmas anywhere else in the world; The most important of all Christmas celebrations in Italy is observed in its capital city, Rome. It is the solemn pontifical Mass celebrated in St. Peter's Basilica on Christmas morning, usually by the· Archpriest of the Basilica, His Eminence Federico Cardinal Tedeschini. Characteristic of Rome's Christmas 'observance are the "zampognari," shepherds from the su.rrounding countryside who come into .the city and play ageless folk melodies on their rustic bagpipes. By night they sleep in doorways and by day they play their Christmas sere 'nades before' the numerous wall ' shrines ,of the' Madonna and, Child that are found in Rome's back streets. For . the children of Rome Christmas means '3 trip to the Christmas market erected in beautiful Piazza Navona. Christmas Fantasy From the beginning of Advent until Epiphany, Piazza Navona is filled with hundreds of open stalls where one can buy Christ mas trees and all the decorations and figurines for creches for the home. There are stalls loaded with toys, there are game booths and candy butchers, making the piazza a Christmas fantasy to delight children from six to 60. In Assisi and Greccio, Christ mas' 'still bears the stamp of the humble friar, St. Francis. Here
1223 over a manger with an ox on one side and a donkey on the other. And in Assisi midnight Mass is celebrated in the church where the body of the saint him self lies buried. There are other "living cre ches," in which men assume the roles of the traditional figures, in Naples and in Revine Lago. At Revine Lago shepherds dressed in sheepskins come down from the mountains to render homage to the Christ Child. and fires are lighted in the plain~ out side the city to show the way to the Three Magi. The country people find in the direction taken by the rising smoke an omen for their future crops. Naples boasts its "Shepherds' Chorus" a.nd its artistic 18th cen tury "Cerciniello" creche. In nearby Capri, Christmas songs. and native dances brighten ~iu!! season and sometimes ac.:y.uire a noisy carnival air with the char acteristic "putipu" bands - so called because of the sound they make-composed of homemade musical instruments.

Finds SQlution In Catholicism TOLEDO (NC)-'-George Kim": ball has found a solution to a problem in social justice and a '
remedy for his' nightmares in
the same place-Catholicism. , His nightmares ended when he began taking instructions last September. They had been the result of his infantry experiences in the South Pacific during World War II. There, where death was often near, he had observed 'that the fellows who seemed best able to undergo such experiences were Catholics. But the road to Rome did not start for Kimball until last Sep tember, when he had a problem of another kind. ' Kimball trains new men for a dairy's, 'wholesale route. When a senior Negro employee sought advancement; Kimball had some reservations about training him. There was even some encour agement for him to make it rough for the colored applicant. Kimball took the problem home one day and discussed it with his wife. On that night two Legion of Mary men, James Ryley and Richard Condon, called on the Kimballs. Previously a Legion of Mary auxiliary member had met, the Kimballs and there was some talk of religion. That was the prelude to the visit. Kimball told the men about the problem on his mind at the moment. One of the visitors said he could talk it over with a priest, but added what the an
swer would be: help the Negro. Now, Kimball is satisfied that he did the right thing. A few
days after the visit, Kimball got a letter from the, Legion' of , Mary informing him- of parish instruction classes. Kimball and his wife have at tended the series. They were baptized December 14 in Blessed Sacrament Church, and with them their four children.

Interest In Outer Space Common Basis for Unity WASHINGTON (NC) - A Kientist associated with the U. S. satellite program said here that the increased interest in scien tific investigation of outer space eould lead to greater unity among nations. Edmund J. Habib, electronics expert at the U. S. Naval Re search Laboratory in Washing ton, was interviewed here at the headquarters of Project Van guard. A graduate of the school of engineering at the Catholic University of America, Mr. Habib heads the laboratory's calibration section in the track.,. ing branch of the satellite pro gram. The U. S. satellite is scheduled to be launched some time in March, 1958, from Patrick Air Force Base, CapeCaneveral, Fla. Dr. John P. Hagen is the director of Project Vanguard. which is a part of the U. S. pro gram for the International Geo physical Year, in which some 64' nations are participating. "It may be wishful thinking," Mr. Habib said, "to believe that this sudden widespread interest in outer space could be a major step toward peace among na tions, but at least people are be ginning to talk of something that is not a weapon in the sense of the H-bomb." Peaceful Contribution "If the Russian people would
feel proud of their satellite launching," he continued, "solely as an achievement in the scien tific field, as a peaceful contribu tion to the world in general, there would be more thoughts of peace instead of war." Mr. Habib said that more eo opera" e efforts such as the IGY would help to give emphasis to the peaceful uses of scientific investigation. Unlike the Russian satellite program, the U. S. plan has been widely publicized. Mr. Habib said it is designed as a com pletely scientific project, and that no information has been withheld about its aims and achievements. The Vanguar,d headquarters are open to the public. A model of the U. S. satellite and the va- ' rious stages of the rocket are displayed. By pressing a button a visitor can see a three·' 'inute movie showing the, 'various stages the- satellite will pass through in flight. Three-Stage Rocket Mr. Habib explained that the vehicle ffom which the satellite will be launched is a three-stage rocket weighing 22,000 pounds and standing about seven stories high. The satellite itself is 20 inches in diam ter and Y,eighs 21 pounds. The Soviets say that their Sputnik weighs 184 pounds. In its first stage, the U. S. rocket will shoot 35 miles into the stratosphere, where the low est part of the rocket will drop off. The second stage will carry to a height of 300 miles and pro duce about 40 per cent of the needed velocity. Then the center portion of the rocl'~t will be dropped off. The third stage will add the velocity needed to keep the satellite moving at a speed of 18,000 miles per hour, which will balance the earth's gravitational pull.
