NO 'IT CAME TO PASS that 'in' those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole 'world should' be enrolle:d. ' The' enrolling was first made by Cyrin\,ls" the governor of Syria.

And all went to be enrolled, everyone into his own city.

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth in~o Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David. , To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.

And it came to pass that when they were there !her days were accomplished that' she should be ,delivered..

And she brought forth her first-born son ci.nd wrapp~d Him up in swaddling clothes and la'id Hirn in a 'manger because there was no room for t'hem in the inn.

And there were on the same country, shepherds watching and keeping night-watches over their. flock.

And behold an angel of ~he lord stood by 'them and the brightness of God shone round about them and they feared with a great fear. , ' And the angel said to them: "Fear not; for, behold , bring you good tidings of great ioy that shall be to aU the people.

"For this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the lord, in the city of David.

"And this shall be a sign unto you, you shall find' the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid on a manger."

And suddenly there was with the angel a muititud'e of the heavenly army, praising God and saying: ' "Glory to God in the highest and on earth pe~ce to men of good wilL" And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to ,another, "let us go over to Bethlehem and let us see this word that is come to pass which the lord hath showed to u,s."

And they came with haste an~ found Meu,!, and Joseph, and the infant lying, in the manger. , And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.

Anc;l all they that heard w-o'ndered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.

But Mary kept aU these words, pondering them 001 her heart.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praisit:lg God for all the things they had heard and seen, : ' as it was told unto them.

'"

Beloved in 'Christ: Christmastide and Giving have a very close association. Children particularly are likely to be more interested in what is given them. ~arents are prone to worry about what they can give that will stand as a sign of devotion and love for family and friends.

All this is good. But it does not quite show the true spirit of Christmas.

Our Lord, becoming one of us, sets the right standard of Giving and of Getting. He gives His Love to God. He offers Himself to us, the world's best gift, the trOe IJGif) o~ God" so that we in turn might be oble to give where giving counts most, in welcome service , to the God Who mode us. . '.

So if we are to worry about what we get, let it

be concern ._ to receive rightly into our hearts and homes the Divine Sovior. ::Andshould we fear that what we give family or friend . may not be good enough, let us make sure that our· giving be after the st~ndard of Christ, ·Who gave Himself that GOd might,have ,",onor, and ~ of Goo~~will.know .true

The spirit of holiday will give place to the spirit of holyday on Saturday evening at midnight w hen Catholics in every one of the 107 parishes of the Diocese obserVG the Feast of Christmas by attendance at Mass at midnight and throughout Christmas morning.

The Most Reverend Bish~ will celebrate a Pontifical Mass at midnight in the Cathedral illl Fall River. The same Mass will be celebrated in all other par-. ishes of the Diocese-from tho Attleboros to the Islands-both at midnight and through tho morning hours. Since Christmas falls on a Sunday this year. parishes are following their Sun.. day schedules.

The faithful are given a choico this year of the day of observing the pre-Christmas fast and complete abstinence. It· must be 0bserved on either Friday or Sat-urday, but since Friday is already a day of complete absti- \ nence this would seem to be the more convenient choice for the pre-Christmas observance 01 complete abstinence for all Catholics over the age of seven years.

Fair ladies throughout the Diocese have Wednesday, Jan. 11 marked on their calendars. - That night they'll don gala array for the Annual Bishop's Charity Ball at Lincoln Park's Million Dollar Ballroom, ·to be transformed for the occasion into a wonderland of lights and flowers.

For most the holiday season comes to an end shortly after New Year's, but for the ladies planning their attire for Jan. 11 it won't come to its glowing close until the last strains of Art Mooney's music at the Bishop's Ball have died away.

This will be the seventh hall, and in seven short years the annual event has become the top social occasion in Southern New England, . a fact recognized by this year's orchestra leader, Art Mooney, who, although in demand throughout the nation, was delighted to receive a bid to the Turn . to Page 'rwent7

Yule Season in Fall River Diocese .

Continued from Page Foar and never have they sung. lID . well - and all the pent-up devotion and adoration break from their usual concealment and pour out in a flood of mel- . ody that overcomes any possible technical faults and, surely,. mounts to Heaven as a joyful Doise before the Lord. . . And the never-ending· Communions-the wonderful, per.vading understanding t hat Christ is not only born . . . He itI here and a living part of us.

And then the gentle waking. ·from the magic of Christmas Mass and the going out of the. church and the cheerful greet;in((8 . and friendly talk in the parking lot. And the cars pull ,away and the lot is empty the Sacristy is quiet, the lights go out in the church, and the priests 'walk slowly over to the rectory and allow themselves to unwind before the Second Mass of Christmas.

And in the soft, gentle, semidarkness of the Church - 'perhaps the Infant, Man, and Risen Christ waits patiently for another great moment. That moment when man will realize that every instant of every hour of every day-is Christmas. . Christmas in the Convent: With the last prayers said at the Advent wreath, convents make their final preparation for the center of their celebration of Christmas, the Christmas Mass.

Much anticipation, effort and loving care have gone into this final culmination.

Where the convent Sisters staft a school, the excitement of the Sisters and children increased to a fever pitch during Advent, climaxed by school tableaux or 11 play on the story of the Nativity. Then the pupils went happily off on their holiday vacations, and the Sisters breathed 11 sigh of joy and of relief that now they could plan their own Celebration. ,; . Inside the convent, figures in their flowing habits hustle about their chores. From one wing can be heard the sounds' of angel Ie voices, practicing Christmas carols and Gregorian chant for the jubilant occasion. In another room, more Sisters are bent over a table shaping favors for the Christmas table and perhaps for children whp will come calling.

In the most hallowed part of the convent, the chapel, the most joyful chores are being completed, as the altar is adorned and the sanctuary put 10 rights for Christmas Eve. Still other members of the community prepare a creche in honor of the Birth of Christ.

Finally the time for Midnight Mass arrives, and the Sisters file expectantly and sedately into the chapel. Many communities form a procession and sing sacred carols as they take their places.

Then, as' the choir sings jubilantly, the priest comes to the . foot of the altar and begins the . Holy Sacrifice. Most nuns will attend three Masses, either in their own chapel,' or at their parish church. Christmas for them is no Christmas at all without the Holy Sacrifice and the Sacrament of the Eucharist. , 1ubilant Songs On Christmas morning, the entire comunity gathers .together, perhaps around the Christmas crib. It is then that the Sisters receive the mail which has been sent to them during the expectant season of Advent, including all the greetings for Christmas and the New Year. Then, too, they open their presents and generally rejoice in the holy day spirit.

Later they will partake of their festive dinner, and still later enjoy themselves within the community or receive family, relatives and friends in the visiting rooms.

When the day is over, the Sisters look back on it all: the prepar'ations, the hurry, the busy activities, then their Masses, their community joy, their dear ones around them. They say to themselves, "Lord, it is good for us to be here.'~ Christmas at St. Mary's: The Infant of Prague has in His tender care the welfare of 70 homeless children who are spending this Christmas' season at St. Mary's Home, New Bedford.

The Infant, whose statue is honored in rooms throughout the home, has inspired mortal help to make this season truly merry for His little children.

Children at St. Mary's are not orphans but mainly products of broken homes. Some have but one surviving parent and others are at the home because they cannot be brought up in their own families for the moment.

But the 10 ]franciscan nuns at St. Mary's and the Rev. John Hogan, spiritual director have arranged a season' for' their charges which will equal the merriment of any child in his individual Catholic home.

The boys and girls are being treated to a round of parties and gift-giving. Last week they were guests at Swain School of Design in New Bedford and Otis Air Force base personnel in Falmouth. The Bishins Corp.

Hal Peterson, disc jockey for !Geal Station WBSM, has undertaken a "Quarters for Christmas" project to benefit children at the home. Each child writes Q letter to Santa stating hia Christmas wishes.

Distribution Gf the gifts will be Dec. 23 when Mr. Peterson plans a live broadast from the home.

The children will attend midnight High Mass celebrated by Father Hogan on Christmaa Eve. Then presents are distribated. No one is forgotten-su.ters, Father Hogan, even the chiloren's beagle hound, who moans in anguish during school bours.

After Mass cocoa and cookies are served and the children sleep late Christmas Day. After breakfast each goes to a family -his own, or to a relative or friend of the home. Curfew is T o'clock, when the children return. . Then, within the next week, the children and all the Ittaff at the home, social workers and invited guests, partake once more of a lavish Christmas dinlief at the home.

Nevertheless, DOwhere is It . .ler to catch the spirit of the ~ason than in a houseful of children. Christmas gets under Dec. 1 when Christmas calendars go up with magic windo.". revealing Yuletide treuares, to be opened daily.

It really begins, however. with the eve of the first Sunday ot. Advent, '\Vhen the Advent wreath is blessed and lit. It begins with the feast of St. Nicholas, complete with stockings, gold-covered chocolate coins tucked in each toe.

It begins when small mangen, one for each child, are brought out. Each good deed or act of self-denial is rewarded with III straw for baby Jesus' bed.

From then on, there's a constant stream of queries: "Do I get a straw for this?" "Is this pleasing to Jesus?" culminating Christmas morning when a small dolt wrapped in swaddling clothes is found in each wellfilled (we hope) manger.

Organized Labor Still on Defensive

By Msgr. George G. HiggiBs (Director. Social Action Depa.rtment, N.C.W.C.)

Professor Hans J. Mor'ty f · gen th au 0f th e U mversl 0 Chicago was quoted in this column last week as having said in his recent book, The Purpose of American Politics, that the U. S. Governrnent "is in full ret I' eat before the onslaught of power" being exercised I:!Y big business. and big labor and that when the chips are down is incapable of enforcing the law against recalcitrant unwna and corporations.

In commenting on this statement, I expressed the opinion that while there is much to be aaid for Professor Morgenthau'. poiRt 6f view, it is possible that bela exaggerating the ability of labor and management to thwart the g6vernment in the exercise 01. its responsibility to safeguard tbe public interest and promote tbe common good.

Still OR Defellld....

In support of this OPinion. I should like to call. attention now to a recent 'pubbcation of the Internatio~al La?or Offi'7' Tbe Trade Umon SItuation m the United States, the report of a four-.ma~ I.L.O. ~ission which was InVIted to thIS country last year by Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell to carry out n factual survey relating to the freed~m of lab~r to organize and bargam collectively.

This report does not address itself to the specific problem posed by Professor Morgenthau in his thought-provoking stuci7 of our national purpose. It does, however, go into the related question as to whether or not unions have, gained acceptance in the United States and whether or not they are here to stay.

What the report has to SB.7 on uu. subject does not, it seems to me, lend sUpport to Professor Morgenthau's angry contention Uaat big .labor (big business is DOt. being considered here) ia riding high, wide and handsome ID. the United States and Deeda' to be brought to task.

On the contrary, It suggestll that organized labor in the Uoited States, far from being aD unbridled threat to government llDd/or big business, is still, to IOlDe extent at least, OD the ·lie.feASi~ and has yet to "sell" it&elf completely to the Americall public.

I might add that the I.L.O. report to which I am referring is probably the most reliable study of .its kind ever made in the Umted States.

ReliablCl Study.

The four I.L.O. experts who drafted the report traveled up and down the United States for several months last year eonsulting with goverment officials, labor leaders, employers, labor economists, and other experts in the field of labor-management relations.

They also studied a Kr~at maSll of printed material bearing directly or indirectly on the subject of their study.

I had the pleasure of spending several ~ours with these men on two different occasions-once in Washington, D. C. and subsequenUy in San Antonio, Texas ~and I must say that they impressed me as being technicallT very competent and thoroughly objective in their point of view.

Secllft Position I am disposed to take them rather seriously, then, when they state that "It would seem as it the trade unions in the United States operate in a social ;system theT accept, but which does not fully accept them."

Elaborating on this point, they Co on to say that "Alt~ough the place of the trade unIon movement is secure it is still too soon to say that the general public firmly believes trade unionism. to be a desirable and necessary feature of American life" and "it would probably be true to say that the number of people outside the trade union movement who accept the trade unions exceeds the number of those who believe in them."

If this is an accurate summary of "the trade union situation in the United States"-and I think it is-Professor Morgenthau'. complaint against the unions would seem to be in need of ,reater refinement.

So long as "the number of people outside the trade union movement who accept the trade unions exceeds the number of those who believe in them," there would· seem to 'be little likelihood tbat organized labor will be able to cOlltrQl the gOYernment or evade the sanctiona 01. the law even, assuming as I

do not, that it was disposed t. do so.

What I am saying in effect, la that the time has not yet come 10r .the government to "put labor in its place."

It would make more sense for government officials-and for all the rest of us--rto follow the advice of Secretary of Labor Mitchell, who, in addressing a farewell dinl1er given in his honor recently by several hundred career employees of the Department of Labor, stated very eloquently that anything that might be done to cripple the labor movement or to hamper its normal growth and development would be a great disservice not only to the working people of this country but to the very cause of democracy itself.

This was sound advice from • dedicated public servant who rightfully enjoys the widespread reputation of being perhaps the greatest Secretary of Labor we have ever had and one Ell our ablest practitioners in the field 01. labor-management relationa.

LIMA (NC)-Archbishop JUaB Landazuri Ricketts, O.F.M., of Lima warned that defensive action against communism will fail unless Catholics also work for social justice.

In his first formal denunciation Gi communism in Peru, Archbishop Landazuri said that it is time to do away with the ignorance that has helped the communists convince the masses that only the Reds have an interest in the worker. The truth is, he said, that Pope Leo XIII condemned the abuses of capital_ ism and urged workers to seek their rights 70 years ago. The Church is the friend of labor,

IIlanger." (Luke 2:7) Ai birth he was .:-irded with the swaddling.Iothes of a Babe; at tile Last Supper He I:"irded Himself with a towel. the symbol of the suffering BerTant of sinful humanity.

Would you go to an Inaucural Ball in rags? Well. Divinity trappiac• •f our auman nature! Why Is it so few ever discover the Babe and recognize Him as ihe Lord of the universe? Is it because we expeci God io' aci according to our worldly conceits? Two signs are given by which He may be known: 1) Wrapped in swaddling-clothes; 2) In a. manger.

.me to us iB the

Swaddling-clothes means He linked our fortunes with His, taking our life in germ as well as in fruit, sharing cradle as well as grave, the binding limitations of the clothes of Mary of Bethlehem as well as the burial linen of Joseph of Arimathea. One wonders if on this Christmas Day, Our Lord is not closer to those who yearn for Him in the enslaving bonds of. Communism than to those who live in the ~sperity of inns.

In a manger - Society is built up from below, generally frOlll the outcasts. All the poor, the socially disinherited of the world. the outcasts on the hillsides or outskirts of big cities, are all in the erib with Him. Politicians, business-men, public relation officiaJ.. ~vertisers, commercialists, are all in the inn. The world has room. _ its own. Greatness to the world is bigness. To God greatness hi attleness. "Unless you become as a little child . . ." The weak, the IlUffering, the ignored, the inn-less, like the Babe itt. the crib, will "bave more to do with the waking of a new world than the powerful, tile rich and the mighty who live in tile inns. There are no class 4I1stinctions in a stable; it is a place where beasts are fed. And what are Wf', without grace but . • • !

o

In accordance with annual custom, the Catholic University of America is offering a four year tuition scholarship to a Catholic member of a high school graduating class of the Archdiocesan Province of Boston, which includes the Fall River Diocese.

Twenty-six such grants are made annually, one to each Archdiocesan Province m the United States. In 1959 Miss Margaret Silvan of Elm Street, Berkley, a member of Sacred Heart parish, Taunton and a graduate of Mount St. Mary Academy, Fall River, was winner of the Boston Province award.

The scholarships have an annual value of $850, or $3400 for four years. They are for tuition only and students must meet other expenses themselves.

Express Apprecia.tion Final filing date for 1961 awards is Feb. 1 and candidate:l should make arrangements to take scholastic aptitude tests in preparation for submitting their applications. Further information is available from The Registrar~ Catholic University of America, Washington 17, D.C. ' "'Through the Arc~diocesan scholarship program," 'says Rt. Rev. Msgr. William J.' McDonald, rector of Catholic. University, '"the University has: endeavored to express to the Bishops, clergy and laitY of the United States its deep appreciation for the generous and continued support in the annual collection and in every feature of the growth and development of the University and its educational program."

Novel Has Impossible Climax

B Y --Rt • R ev. M s gr.

John S. Kennedy Elizabeth Spencer's short novel "The Light in the Piazza" (McGraw-Hill. $3) has been garlanded. with superlatives. Beyond doubt, it is an exceptional work of fiction, notable for insight and artistry.

But to one reader, at any rate its conclusion seems contrived and implausible. Until the final few pages one proceeds almost breathless with wonder at the near-perfection of the writing, and with interest as to what the denouement will be. But when the c lim a x comes, it strains belief.

Miss Spencer, whose already formidable reputation will be heightened b y her la~st effort, is telling of an AJ1,lerlcan woman in early middle age, and her daughter, who are visiting Italy. They are not mere tourists, but are fleeing a problem.

Margaret Johnson is the wife of a conspicuously successful and wealthy business man. He is a top executive in a cigarette company, and their home is in Winston-Salem. Johnson cannot abide failure.

Whenever it has threatened, be has always been able to do something to avert it. But his, daughter represents a bleak failure w h i c h has completely stumped him.

In her twenties, Clara Johnson has a mental age of ten. She is a beautiful girl, generally sweet, docile, and happy. Her parents have used every available means to draw her out of her childishness, but without effect.

Her inability to mature is a vexation to them and, to J9hnson particulariy,' something of a disgrace. Mother and daugl:lter have crossed the Atlantic to get away for awhile from everyone the Johnsons know.

Settled down in Florence, they get to know and like the city, although Margaret marvels at how different are the ways of Italians. A chance encounter with a young Florentine, Fabrizio Nacarelli, leads to his taking an interest in Clara, which she reciprocates.

He professes to love her, and she glows and blossoms w re-

sponse. He introduces her to his to a household, in a few sencircle of friends; they accept her tences. Let me cite some exwithout question; she is perfect- amples. )y at ease and delighted with ·Crook·Legged' Misery them.

Here is a rainy day in FlorSees Way Out ence. "The rain which had Then comes an introduction started with a rumble of thunder to his family.

Besides, may it not merely be that these people are after the money the girl will have?

Margaret seeks advice at the American consulate and from a Protestant clergyman. No help is forthcoming in either instance.

She wanders through the city in a daze, trying to hammer out a decision.

She writes a long letter to her husband, to which he immediately replies by a frantic telephone call. He forbids that anything be done until he flies in from the United States - after clearing up some tangled business concerning his firm's television advertising.

Curious Ending Margaret determines to anow the young people to marry as soon as possible, without waiting on her husband's arrival. Plans are quickly made,· and the final arrangements are in progress on· the day before the scheduled' ceremony, when Signor NacarelIi SUddenly and brutally interrupts them, declaring the marriage out of the question.

The ending is happy in intention and perhaps also in fact, and it is curiously 'rrived at. It is precisely here that one bOggles a bit at what Miss Spencer S. GOURSE & SONS asks one to credit.

Says Restriction Based on Fallacy CLEVELAND (NC)-Current U,S. laws cutting off the flow of migrants from abroad are. based on an "economic fallacy," Auxiliary Bishop John J. Krol of Cleveland has declared.

Bishop Krol complained that a "small but very articulate segment of' our nation . . . has stemmed the flow of migration."

"Not satisfied with reasonable restriction," be said; "it has invoked the economic fallacy which contradicts known scientific facts and tbe facts of our own national history.

For All Men "The fallacy 11 that only a fixed number of jobs exist in an economy. Following that fallacy, we have enacted legislation which practically denies the right of migration."

Bishop Krol emphasized that the goods of the world are "created by God for all men."

"Territory and raw materials exist in abundance for all," he said. "As long as one country is over-populated, under population anywhere in the world 'must be viewed as an insupportable luxury."

Josephite ,Fathers Appeal in Ad For Leadership by Catholics NEW ORLEANS (N C) Priests wbo work among Negroes appealed here in a newspaper advertisem~nt for Cath· olics to respect courts and tak leadership away from bate mongers.

The ad was placed in th, Times-Picayune by the Josephite Fathers, who can due t 22 churches in the New. Orleans archdiocese. It bore the signature of Father George O'Dea, S.S.J., Superior General of the Josephites.

Racial desegregation of two New Orleans public schools, at the order of a Federal Court, has led to an almost total boycott of the schools by white students, jeering by unruly white mothers of parents whose children still attended the' schools and a ser'ies of actions by state legislators designed to prevent integration.

The Josephites' advertisement, entitled "An Appeal to Catholics," said that "New Orleans is considered a Catholic City."

"In the pages of national and international publications we have become a city of violence, hatred and disobedience," the advertisement said.

Negroes, it said, have patiently born discrimination against them, awaiting the day when their human dignity would ~
