Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DONNELLY

which will be the turning of the corner toward imitation. Imitation. as we know. means a rising cost of living and financial disaster for the individual citizen. Purchasing War Bonds. on the other hand, means that we keep what we save for we make it unnecessary for the Gov ernment to take that much from us in taxation.
 Our armed forces are pledged to give even their lives for the defense of their country. But though they may give their lives they cannot be successful without the whole hearted support of the civilian population. Today 1t is later than we think. How quickly we awake and how willingly we respond in the immediate future will, even in a degree greater than the offense of our armed forces, decide the destiny of America.
 ELLIOTT PAUL
 While the nation in distress should be getting to its knees in suppliant prayer for Gods help. impious minds still try to make us worthy only of Gods wrath. A typi- cal instance is pictured in the fol- lowing quotation from the New York Times Book Section of July 18th which should bring violent pro- test from millions of decent and God fearing Americans.
 "The irrepressible Elliott Paul is spending his vacation on his Con- necticut farm and is working on a manuscript entitled Gospel Accord ing to Hollywood The idea is to retell certain Bible stories in a manner which would, in MT. Paul's opinion, enable them to get by the Hays office in Hollywood.
 "The six stories in the volume would bear the following titles: Samson and Delilah,' Fifth Col umn Work in Jericho Noah, the Father of Drinking Jonah, the Prophet Who Threw Up His Job, Ruth and Naomi, or Advice to Young Women by Old Ones and Queen Esther, the Beauty Contest Winner The book is to be pulp lished in December by Random House, with illustrations by Luis Quintanilla."
 Such sacriligous flippancy is re- volting to the average Americans respect for the things of God. Hit Ter revised the Bible. Elliot Paul plans to revile it.
 THE ANSWER MAN
 A listener, apparently Catho- ! lie, recently inquired of the Answer Man of Station WOR at what age person may act as sponsor of a baptism administered in Catholic Church. But the sage of this very popular program was in error when he answered lat the age of reason which is the age of ten" While the Church recognizes that one may validly act as sponsor when he has reached the age of discretion, which is commonly held to be much earlier than ten years, the positive law of the Church (Canon 766) de- clares that, fin order that one may 'licitly' act as sponsor he must be fourteen years of age, unless for a just reason the minister of Sacra- ment admits younger oneS."

In view of the phenomenal suc- cess in the control of infectious diseases, the cancer situation in this country is described by the statis- ticans of the Methropolitan Life Insurance Company, as one of the outstanding unsolved health prob lens of the day.
 They further draw attention to the striking dissimilarity in the trend of the recorded cancer death rate for men, as against that for women, as observed in the mortality experience of their company's h. dustrial policyholders, from 1911 to 1940. During this period, the re- corded mortality from cancer among the male policyholders increased about one third, while scarcely any change occurred among the insured females. Toward the end of the period, however, there is some evil dence of improvement among fe- males, and of a "slackening in the upward trend for males"
 "As a result of these conflicting trends" the statisticians say, "the cancer death rates for white males and females at ages one to "A, widely different in 1911-1915, have converged to common level of 86.8 per 100000 in the five year period 1936- -1940. And ID other important cause of death exhibits such differ ence in trend of mortality for the two sexes"
 Regarding it as hardly conceivable that the physiological makeup of males has chnaged so radically with in the last 30 years as to make them much more susceptible to cancer, while the females have remained unaffected" the statisticians express the belief that a substantial part of the rise in cancer morality among

MORE PELT HANDLING
HINTS FOR TRAPPERS

After the experienced trapper has
washed the fur and slit up the backs
OF animals hind legs to base of - tail,
ne follows these steps:
For "cased'' pelts, hang carcass by
hind feet, and peel skin downward from
body, like pulling off sock. Diagram
~ Work right along with good sharp
knife to remove pelt, keeping pelt as free
offesh and fatas possible while skinning.
Be careful around nose, ears and eyes.
After skinning Diagram p, slip the
ceased" pelt loosely over the scraping
board, t1r-sade-in: and with dull edge,
such as an old knife or sharpened lath
-scrape skin from head to tail. Remove
all surplus fat and flesh, but don't scrape
too close. Shift the pelt around on the
scraping board. In that way, you will
never be scraping along edge of board.
Diagram 3 shows the beginning of
open handling. (Beave7, Raccoon or
Badger pelts.) Slit pelt down center of
belly from mouth to tail; also, down
back of hind legs and inside front legs.
Never cut off heads, or slit up back.
Stretch "open" pelts by lacking them
on a wall or board with fur side toward

10 Firms Charged
With Banning Jews,
Negroes From Jobs

WASHINGTON, April up
Ten concerns having millions of
dollars in war contracts today were
accused of refusing 10 hire Negroes
and Jews and were ordered by the
Presidents committee on fair en-
ployment practice to correct their
policy of racial discrimination.
The companies are in the Chicago
and Milwaukee areas and include
the Buick Aviation plant at Mel
rose, Ill, a unit of General Motors
corporation, the Bearse Manufac-
turing Co., Simpson Manufacturing
Co.. and the Studebaker branch
factory in the Chicago area
The committee charged the con-
Germs with refusing TO employ either
Negroes or Jews giving restricting
orders to employment agencies ask
ing for only white or gentle work
ers, advertising for workers and
specifying gentle" or protestant"
or white" and with refusing to
give workers "of certain races and
creeds' opportunity for promotion
in keeping with their qualifications.
The companies -ol c..e most part
denied that they were discriminat-
ing. the committee reported, but in
each case evidence was found sup
porting the charges of discrimina
ton. The findings were based on
two days of public hearings held
Jan. 1920 in Chicago.

O0-tUP)-An unexpected result of
the war-an increase in the number
OF deer in remote localities - was
predicted by Mark Anderson, direc-
tor OF the Utah Fish and Game de
partment.
Anderson explained that hunters,
their automobiles and tires and
probably gasoline rationed, would
be unable TO visit the backwoods
game grounds for the duration" as
they did in peacetime The result
he said, would be a tremendous in
crease in the number of deer-and
other game animals and birds-in
the areas that are far from popu-

SAN FRANCISCO, April l3. CUP)
The California State Guard to-
day added a new chapter to its
troubled current history with the
resignation of Col Allard A. Calk-

Col. Calkins, who will be replaced
by Col. John HASTE of Los Angeles

conditions within the guard "ren-
dered useful service impossible"
He also said he considered the

Calkins' resignation climaxed a
series Of incidents and disputes
dating from the passage by the state

Illinois Holds
Wartime Election

CHICAGO, April 13. CUP)-Can.
didates for Illinois senatorial anc
congressional nominations closec
their campaigns today on the eve
of the nations first state primary
election contest since the United
States entered the war.
Nearly 100000 citizens were ex-
pected TO vote tomorrow to select
Republican and Democratic nomi-
nees for one senate seat, 26 member
ships in the house, and minor state
officers.
In the Republican senatorial pri-
mary. the major issue revolved
around the pre-war opposition OF
the incumbent Sen. c. Wayland
Brooks TO administration foreign
policy. The Democratic primary
produced another challenge to the
power of the Kelly-Nash machine
of Cook county.
NATIONAL ISSUE
Brooks opponent was State Treas
urer Warren Wright, who endorsed
President Roosevelt's foreign policy
before the attack on Pearl harbor.
Gov. Dwight Green, titular party
head in the state, has taken no
public stand on the candidates, and
the Republican state organization
has maintained a formal neutrality.
However, most of Green's political
heutenants and party organization
leaders have thrown their support
10 Brooks.
The Cook county Democratic Or
ganization, headed by Chicago May
or Edward j. Kelly and County
Democratic Chairman Patrick A.
Nash, has endorsed Rep. Raymond
S. McKeough for the Democratic
nomination. Paul H. Douglas, Chi
cago Alderman and University of
Chicago economist, opposed Nc
Keough on an "anti-machine" plat
form. Both have supported new
deal policies and the administra-
tion's war program.
