as a writer has astonished the people
of his section of Pennsylvania by a feat
of endurance performed under the most
trying cOnditions-fasting for hours
and travelling through bitter cold and
over roads covered with snow while
he went the rounds of his missions.
Father Whalen preached sermons in
two different localities of Buchanan
valley where he also said two Masses,
then drove eighteen miles through the
snow to Chambersburg to board a
train for New York. Taking a lunch
con on the dining car on the way, he
reached New York, got into taXical
and was driven to Times Square the
later in time to attend the benefit giver
by the Catholic Actors Guild. His ad
ldress to the actors and their friends
was hailed as one of the most humor
GUS bits on the program. Father Wha
len is pastor of St. Ignatius' church
Ortanna, Pa.
