More Priests Needed.
The Pope took another significant
step this week when he created the
Pontifical Work for Religious Vo-
cation, thereby focusing attention
on a possible shortage of priests as
a result of the war
Wartime restrictions in Europe
have not only limited the number of
priests who can engage in ecclesias-
tic work, but has sharply reduced
the normal supply of students, Many
seminaries in Germany and the oc-
cupied countries have been closed
and their faculties dispossesSed.
Even in countries not Immediately
occupied by the Nazis the need for
priests is being urgently felt. This
is true of unoccupied France, where
the native supply of priests, even
before the first World War, had been
curtailed through anti-clerical agi-
tation, and the resulting loss was
not entirely regained,
Hence, many Of the French clergy
were educated abroad, and priests of
other nationalities, particularly
Irish. were appointed TO French
churches. A typical instance Is that
of Able Patrick Flynn, formerly
attached to the famous church of
the Madeleine in Paris, and now
Bishop of Nevers.
( Church authorities in Ireland are
now discussing plans to recruit
priests TO be sent from Fire TO un-
occupied France. Ireland. which has
been noted for its many vocations
to the priesthood. is also expected
to send priests TO other European
countries after the war.
The new institution created by the
/ Pope is planned 10 encourage
ecclesiastical vocations, first by urg-
ing the faithful to aid all who may
be so called; second, to stress the
dignity and necessity of the priest
hood; and third, to encourage young
men to enter the Seminaries.
/ The work will be directed by the
! Congregation of Seminaries and
| Universities. one of the II institutes
which carry on the administrative
/ duties of the Church in Rome. The
! congregation superintends all mat
ters pertaining to the government,
discipline, administration, and stud
| les of seminaries.
! Through the work of the new in
stitution, steps will be taken to en-
/ courage an increasing number of
seminarians in countries where their
studies are unhindered. The supply
of priests created is expected to be
used in the work of reconstruction
/ following the war.

his heavy burden in order to escape

Father red-tail is % inches long,
which is 2 inches shorter than his
mate. The wing spread of either
is from so to so inches. The field
color is dark brown above. white
below The wide spread tail is of
medium length and is a bright rust
red. and as rule there is an easily
seen black bar near the end: the
tip is white. Large, handsome brown
eyes face you fearlessly from jutting
feathers resembling bushy eyebrows.
The horn-colored beak, cere, legs
and feet are yellow.
The nests are proof of the indus
try of the red-tail. The bulky
affairs now loom large and unsightly
in the bare trees, and you may be
quite surprised with the number of
them. The nursery is usually placed
well up in the fork of large tree,
some 40 to 80 feet from the ground.
The building material selected for
the outside are sticks Of moderate
size, and smaller ones are used for
the interior. Bits of bark and hem
lock branches, fern leaves or moss
contribute toward making the home
comfortable. This domicile Is used
year after year, mother adding some
new furnishing to freshen the apart
ment a bit and also to repair the
home for the coming of the two to
four babies.
Father stands guard in q nearby
tree while mother keeps the eggs
warm. These eggs show wide
variation in form and markings.
Some are plain, while others have
quite festive appearance with
decora tons of brown and red and
lavender which may even form a
wreath about the end of the egg
either end
When the babies arrive, father is
a busy hunter. 1t is marvellous how
many mice, tender rabbits, insects Of
every description. moles, rats and
shrews are needed to appease the
appetites of four very fast-growing
and loud. demanding baby red-tailed
hawks. But you can really see how
important this hawk is to us-so we
remind you again to protect It
whenever the need arises.
