Abascai makes a point Of simple
living. He's pictured above in
one of his customary dining places
"a cheap restaurant.
he says, that group of us suf-
fered the pain of seeing the coun-
try deep in anarchy as a result of
the revolution. We saw leaders
abuse their positions Of RESPONSE
bility, we saw confusion and chaos.
We wanted order preserved, and
order not only in the ends, but in
the means"
So the Sinarquist movement
was started by Jose Antonio Ur-
quiza on May %, 1887. 1t is anti
Communist, anti liberal democ-
racy as that exists now In Mexi-
co, and anti-FaScist. So insists
31-year-old Abascal, though many
other Mexican leaders insist that it
is either hand-in-glove with, or an
innocent tool Of, Fascist ard Fal-
angst movements in Mexico.
DISAVOWS THE
FALANCE
Abascal, who is of 80 per cent
Spanish blood from family
100 years in Mexico. thus explains
his feelings toward Spanish Fas-
Gins.
'Falangism is merely current
phase of eternal Spain. I wish it
were not necessary for the Fal-
ange to exist. But it was 'ojo por
ojo' Can eye for an eye) and 1t
would not have been necessary
for 1t to exist had it not been for
the rise of Communism. In Mex
leo we still hope that the disease

Without exactly saying so, he
gives the impression that If it did,
he would be ready to apply the
remedy"
His following, distinctly a grass

contrasted with the middle-class
and intellectual Accion Nacional,
which is rather frankly Falangist,
is variously estimated. Abascal
claims 100000, men, women and
children. There are no formal mem
bership rolls, no elaborate admin
istrative setup, only the plainest Of

He insists that some Of these are
not members of the Catholic
Church, though those must be few
Freely accused of being anti

shows no bias in talking of Amer

 Guild Party Monday

The Mothers Guild of St. Johns Episcopal church will hold Christ mas sale and card party next Mon- day evening at 7:30 o'clock in the Guild Hall.
 The St. Johns Mir. and Mrs. Club will meet at the Rectory Wednesday evening, December g, at 800 p. m MT. and Mrs. Francis Ayres and Mir. and Mrs. Leverett Davis will be in charge of the program.
 The Young Peoples Fellowship will have an informal recreational meeting Saturday evening, Decem- Der 5 at 7:30 D. m. Dancing instruc- tion fer those who are interested will be given by Beatrice fleming way, Nora Rigarauski, and MT. and Mrs. Winter. Sunday evenings pro- gram includes a special worship service based on the lives of mi- grants and southern sharecroppers and will be followed by a brief bus mess meeting.
 Sunday, December 6, there will be motion pictures for the Sunday school children at the regular 9:30 hour. These pictures are a new venture in Sunday school teaching for St. Johns. The church has been aware for some time of the import ant part that movies play in the education of youth. AS the Chinese wisdom puts it, "One picture is worth a thousand words" Hence although Sunday school movies are being tried for the first time at St. Johns this Sunday, they have been widely used in the field of educa- tion and are now being generally adopted for religious instruction.
 There will be two films "The Prodigal Son" and "A Pilgrimage To Palestine" the titles of which indicate clearly the subject matter. Any families who would like to come for these religious pictures and stay for the service afterwards, are welcome to do so.
