Science Or Nature

Connecticuts birth control law was
subjected to one more Scathing criti-
cism this week when DR., Haven Emerson
of Columbia University, N. Y, spoke at
the Connecticut Medical Societys an
nual dinner in Hartford. "There is some
thing of enSlavement and denial of sci
ence and education by political and
religious obscurantiSm that forbids the
physicians of Connecticut by archaic
laws of the state to give life-saving in
formation TO women who wish to control
the reproductive function OF their own
bodies -, said the speaker
Making a science of birth is something
that doesn't quite ring true, Birth is not
O science, although all of us recognize the
fact that medical science has contributed
greatly towards lowering the death-rate
OF the mother and baby at birth, But
the fact remains that birth, any birth,
Is q natural function and does not nee
essarily depend upon science for its con-
tinuation or successful accomplishment,
Were all science TO perish, Natures own
way OF bringing young into The world
would not cease All of which has a
definite bearing on the subject OF birth
control.
The same might also be said for the
argument that opposition TO birth con-
troll measures in this state or elsewhere
Ia based on archaic beliefs and laws. The
Roman Catholic Church which leads all
opposition to birth control laws may be
termed archaic IL that means 1t was eSCab-
lished 1900 years ago, but no one can dis
pute the fact that 1t has remained a
living force down through the centuries
for right living among all men, If we
term its fight to maintain that birth
control Is unnatural and repugnant to
the laws of a higher authority than man
as old-fashoned, then why not also term
the solemn oath which physicians and
surgeons take, dating back to Hippo
crates, just as out OF date?

Selected Poem
PLOWMAN OF THE SKY

IF. F. Rockwell in the New York Tines
In solid earth, when was young,
With OK or plodding Percheron
My fellows set their stalwart shares
To turn the clover or the rye.
But far my zig-zag burrows ran
Across the pastures OF the sky.
After the harrow and the drag,
With eye on fence post or on steeple,
They marked the seed rows straight as string
To take their sowings-these my people.
But such light chaff as I'd to spare
Unwinnowed as 1t left the fail,
The winds caught up and scattered far
On fallow fields OF empty air.
Long since in barn and dusty bin
Their harvests moldered, root and grain;
Their stubbled fields, cut deep with scars.
Lie ravished now by wind and rain,
But I still garner endlessy
In the wide pastures Of the stars.

to us here In Waterbury, This city has

complacency rather than with the enthu-
siasm that their announcement should
evoke.
Friends OF Father Griffin are we'll
aware of the fine work he has done as
director OF the Propagation of the Faith
throughout the Hartford Diocese. Pro-
motion Of activities in behalf of the many
missions which the Roman Catholic
Church supports Is quite an undertake
ing, yet Father Griffin has conducted it
quietly and efficiently for many years
past now, With all that, he was ever
willing to donate his services for parish
duties at the end of the week.
He has been Familiarity identified with
the seminary, too, and as head OF this
fine institution in Bloomfield will UNI
doubleday take rank among the numer-
GUS fine administrators who have pre-
sided before him and who usually adj
vanced to higher rank and more import
ant duties within the church. We, of
Waterbury, wish him well in his new
work.
