rules for conservation in the homes.
The prevailing price Of bread through.
out the country is from s cents to 8
cents loaf retail. The Food Admin.
lstration has been assured by the
bakers and retailers that they are max
ing sufficient profit This is on the
basis of wheat bread, containing more
wheat than the new victory bread calls
for.
But the Food Administration insists
that there has been no increase in the
cost of the other cereals recommended
by victory bread to warrant any jump
ing in the price at this time. With the
transportation situation giving hope
OF relief within the next three weeks
and a freer mover ent of wheat and
cereals assured. no justification can be
found for raisisg the price OF the in

The Press and the Church
SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE RE-
LATIoN BETWEEN RELIGION
AND CATHOLIC PAPERS.

Writing on the above subject, DR..
Walsh makes some good points. He
says:
Il am not sure that the Catholics
of this generation are nearly so ready
to make sacrifices. in order to have
Catholic publication come into the
family and reading it, thus setting an
example for the benefit of their chill
dren. That was true generation
ago. While our Catholic press has
grown in influence and in circulation,
cannot think that it has grown in
proportion either to the number of
the population or the average growth
in wealth of our people.
1--WE, too, l fear. are suffering from
the dry rot of an over-interest in
worldly matters to the detriment of a
deeper interest in religious affairs.
One thing is perfectly certain, that if
this absorption in secular matters con-
tinues, our press will go the way that
the Protestant press is going. | am
quite sure that it will be serious for
Catholicity whenever this happens. |
do not hesitate to say that family
which does not take in regularly at
least one Catholic periodical is surely
sinking into the depths of a declining
faith. Sometimes the poor can
scarcely afford it; but the family that
cannot spare cent a day in order to
have the privilege of reading Cath
olic paper, must indeed be mighty
poor. 1t costs even less than this to
be a regular subscriber for Catholic
weekly paper; and cent and half a
day would supply a Catholic family
with a good local weekly Catholic
| periodical as we'll as good national
| weekly or monthly.
But it is not the very poor who are
the most backward in taking Catholic
| periodicals, Very often it is those who
have considerable money to spend on
| luxuries, or waste on extravaganza,
who have so lost their interest in Cath
olicity and in the everyday events
| of Catholic life that they think it
beneath their newly acquired dignity
and social condition to occupy them
selves with Catholic affairs. If our
Catholic press is not properly sup
ported it will undoubtedly work con.
siderable harm to the Church. 1t
represents one of the best possible
means of keeping faith and interest
in Catholicity alive.
Nothing will mean SO much for
coming Catholicity as the proper sup.
port of the Catholic press. Any one
who pretends to be a Catholic and is
not supporting the Catholic press is
making serious mistake. Any one
who pretends to have the interest of
Catholics at heart, and is not taking
this simple, practical means of keep
| ing in touch with them, is making a
fool of himself, and trying to make
fools of others. Any one who wills to
accomplish something must will the
means of it. The Catholic press rep
resents the means, heightened in,
| terest in Church matters"

A PARISH INNOVATION
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS HANDED
OVER TO A REGULAR sEcRE-
TARY-SoUTHERN PARISH HAS
A BUSINESS MANAGER.

A Catholic visitor in Alabama has
written North to tell about a novel,
and highly useful, officer in Southern
parish:
"St. Paul's Church, in Birmingham,
has invented the lay secretary. He
has come to stay, not only in his home
parish, but indications are that the
innovation will be tried out elsewhere,
if one may Judge from the letters of
inquiry that reach the pastor who had
the inspiration to think up the newer
and better way and the courage to put
it into practice. Every mail brings let
ters, but while Rev. James e. Coyle is
willing to give data to the clergy who
are interested, curiosity seekers are
discouraged.
"The lay secretary has been on the
job about ten years. He takes COM
plete charge of church finances, knows
every soul in the parish intimately and
acts as kind of reception committee
on Sunday. He collects the school
fund, arranges for all picnics, keeps
an eye out for the parish debt, col
lects the pew rent and personally
takes the collections for all special
occasions.
"The lay secretary provides every
member of the parish with a pew card
those who pay and those who do not
alike. These cards are presented In
the case of strangers or those who are
not personally known, and every mem
Der of the parish is seated Dy the
secretary or his ushers. The secretary
is on hand at every Mass, and as each
person enters, he or she is met and
conducted to seat. There is no

centre aisle, no embarrassment for
anybody
"No pews are reserved for any Mass
except the High Mass, when the
centre aisle is closed for pew holders.
This is done by means of a heavy
cord that loops across the aisle down
by the entrance door. The secretary
stands by to hooks and unlock this
looped cord, and as he knows person

can instantly direct each conner to his
place. At the children's 9 o'clock
Mass the secretary takes his place

but firmly, turns grownups aside
They may go into the gallery-as long
as it lasts, but the church floor is
absolutely reserved for the children
and their Sunday School teachers.
THE secretary collects the pew

Statements are mailed-just as the
merchant sends monthly bills to his
customers.
Members of the church are asked
to contribute stated sums each year

very much if you could see your way
to contribute the amount opposite
your name for the support of the

or you can hand it to the secretary

There is a separate, school fund
to which annual donations are paid
in monthly or quarterly installments

fall due, notices are sent through the
mail, with request for prompt pay
