hair is more betting woman's

be condemned providing it is not
harmful to the integrity of Chris
tan morals, according to a ruling
today by the Catholic, church CEN
trail authorities in response to
questions from. bishops, parish
priests and rectors.
The questioners had asked
whether the banning Of indecently
dressed women from churches gen.

the sacraments specifically had in
cluded those with bobbed hair.
Church authorities pointed out
that bobbing of hair is so general at
present that it would be impossible
to prohibit women with short hair
from churches.
