Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DoNNELLY

1 Day, the editor of the Catholic Worker, Go one of her followers now many years an invalid.
 "You say you are not much use as e Catholic Worker, lying there on your bed through the long years. But when 1t comes to work, physical work Is hard, but mental work is harder, and spiritual work is hardest of all. You cannot use your hands to write, nor your eyes to read, but there are all the faculties of your soul you can be using, and as you lie there you can move mountains. You may not see them move-it may be . Iaol1n- tain on the other side of the world" JUSTICE FRANK MURPHY An explanatory note in the Octo- Der issue of the official organ Of the Knights of Columbus, Columbia, says that Justice Murphy of the Supreme Court spoke for himself when he advocated our active support Of Rus sia in his address ct the convention of the Knights of Columbus. One editor of importance has stated that he has learned that Murphy was put on the program at the suggestion of the Administration and that the Sla- tional radio hook-up was ali part of the plan.
 or course this season of conyen- tons has been keeping the war pro- pagandist of the Administration rushing hither and yon in all parts of the country. According to the St. Louis Post- Dispatch, when some members of the American Bar As- sociation protested the presence of the principal war-orator of its pro- gram, the President of the Bar As- gociation told them "the President Of the United States decided that Secretary Knox should speak"
 THE LEGION CONVENTION
 The amazing pro-war attitude of the American Legion convention was Q surprise both to members and non- members of the Legion. But now as the editor of the Ave Maria notes, Tt Is admitted that the AdSniniStra- ton forced the resolution for war by buying up the men who were in the key positions" Raymond Kelly, past national commander, Franklin DOher, past national commander, Henry H. Dudley, Legion director of defense, Capt. Watson Miller, for. llner general counsel of the Legion in Washington, John Winterich, for- n1er editor of the Legion monthly these and many more are listed as now getting their checks from the federal government.
 NO one opposed to war was al- lowed to speak. The Administration sent Knox, La Guardia and Daniels to speak The whole thing was as brazen Q fix as has ever been perpetrated on any American au- dience."

The Air Raid Warden

This article is Number 8 in . series of ten prepared by the State Defense council on the duties and activities of Air Raid Wardens.
 Genuine cooperation between the air raid warden and the peo~ pie of his community is the first essential to the success of any air raid precaution. The warden is expected to be all things to all men, and his problems are apt to range from making the food formula for Q baby to taking charge during c major disaster. The training of the people of his community is also a part of his job. Some can be taught much that is technical, while others can absorb only the most elemental safeguards. The warden must know how to handle those who believe Tt can't happen here" He must recruit assistance and also take advantage of all volunteer help offered. The more people he can make take part in the program, the better.
 The local or post warden will have in his district many house. hold units, and it is the aim of defense authorities to have at l:-ct one persca in each of these who understands the rudimentS of air raid precautions. It is the warden's job to teach this group, and Q s4x-hour course has been prepared which covers the things most important for these "house- hold wardens" to know. This presents an opportunity for busy housewives, or others, who for one reason or mother have not much time to make real contribution to civilian defense.
 The householder course teaches simple facts about poison gases and how to identify the most common; the effect of each on the body, and the type of first aid treatment in cases where first aid can be effectively adminis- tered by the layman. With even such simplified knowledge as this is bound to be, many tragedies may be averted. Immediate treat ment of blister gas means the dif- ference between minor skin irri- tation and a severe or even fatal burning. Knowledge of the fact that every lung case is a stretcher case and must be hospitaliSed as quickly as possible, may prevent death.
 Simple fire protection methods and the handling of incendiary bombs are things which each householder must know about. If a factory CT other important Struc- ture Is burning in the district, the fire department will be too busy to attend to isolated cases of incendiary bombs in attics. The warden must teach the simple chemistry Of an incendiary bomb,

BOARD CONSIDERS
 BUDGET FOR l942

The board of finance resumes con- alteration of the 1o42 city budget late this afternoon, having yesterday approved proposed appropriations for several departments. Meetings will be held several times weekly for the next sevral weks.
 Appropriations tentatively ap- proved yesterday are ones that re- main almost identically the same each year, some of the figures be- ing set by charter. Among them are items for the mayors office, city plan commission, board of fi- nance, probate court, city sheriff'S office, tax collector, bureau of city hall, electrical inspector, building inspector, budget director, purchas- ing director, board of aldermen and board of tax commissioners.

how it burns, it's terrific heat and how to control 1t. If one person in every house knows these things, the danger Og fire spreading and general panic is considerably les- sened. If the householder knows that sand will smother an incen. diary bomb, whereas water applied directly to it will cause an ex- plosion, he will sact accordingly. Of course, water may be spread on the surrounding walls, and c fog spray applied to the bomb, but never a Jet of water directly upon one. Sttrrup pumps, which are just hand pumps with long gar- den hose and a special nozzle at- tached, have been used most ef- fectively for this in England. The warden must see that everyone understands these and how to work them, and that there are pumps in as many buildings es possible. He must see to 1t that whatever precautionary measures the local fire department recommends are carried out.
 The selection and preparation of e refuge room is a problem that every householder may have, and the warden is the person who should investigate and give advice. There is some difference as to the best place for these, but unless something like the English Ander- son shelter to set In the backyard is available, c cellar room not con- taining an oil tank or burner, and not in danger of being flooded by a broken water main, can usually be made safe against anything but Q direct hit.
 A Long JOh
 Household wardens will bG taught what to expect during raid, the effects of blast, and how best to protect themselves ii caught on the street--whieh, of course, they should not be. Their job Is not all finished when the "all clear" signal. They should ex. anime their own property for bHhhA AhSS anu tAAAlS bVHhGop htAd unexp.oded anti-aircraft shells, They must look for and if possible recognize damage to utilities.
 Tn other words, the warden h multiplying ihS own effectiveness many times by giving training N householders. If these householder never have to use it, SO much tho better. If they do, they are pre. pared to meet emergencies calmly and with 0 sense of responsibility. NO one has the right to become A casualty" or make work for some. one else. That is the hardboileo philosophy which has produced the splendid civilian defense in Eng land.
