Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DONNELLY

month happily and peacefully in
the Church.
CATHOLIC ISLE OF MALTA
Men in every century have
battled and died for possession of
the Isle of Malta and true to its
traditions this gem in the Mediter-
ranean is spoken of as the most
bombed spot on earth. Many hun
dreds of air raids have taken a great
toll of lives and caused great des-
truction, but the almost impreg-
nable little isle is still in British
hands.
Interesting is the fact that NAL
ta's population of $4,000 is SO per
cent Catholic, and more interesting
is the proud claim of the Maltese
that they received their Christianity
as far back as Apostolic times. St.
Paul himself preached the Gospel to
them. His coming was precipitated
by violent storm which swept the
boat in which he was being taken a
prisoner from Crete into the har-
Dor which is now known as st.
Pauls Bay. At its mouth on the lit
tie island of Selmun stands a great
statue of the Saint.
KNIGHTS OF MALTA
Malta's history narrates a quick
changing list of conquerors. After
five nations had conquered the little
isle is less than five centuries, Pope
Clement VII suggested that the Is
land be given over to the Hospital
lers of St. John of Jerusalem, now
universally known as the Knights
of Malta. They ruled there until
1893 when Napoleon came and add
ed the Island to his lands of con-
quest.
The Order of the Hospitallers of
st. John of Jerusalem, oldest order
of Catholic laymen in the Church
was founded at the beginning of the
eleventh century to provide Hospices
for the pilgrims who were coming in
great numbers to visit the holy
places of Jerusalem Later the Or
der took on military character
when they took on the work of pro-
viding armed guards for pilgrims
travelling to and from the Holy
Land. With the fall of the King
dom of Jerusalem the Knights
sought refuge on the Island of
Rhodes and became known as the
Knights of Rhodes, and when
Rhodes was taken by the Turks they
sought shelter on Malta and be-
came known as the knights of
Malta
Originally the Order was estab-
lished as noble group of men of
high character, bound together by
rigid discipline and devoting their
lives to charitable works. The care
of the sick became their principal
work and even in later centuries
when the Order had become much
like a group of fighting men who
had lost much of their high ideals
and chivalrous character, the care
of the sick remained their great
work of charity. The great hospital
of Valetta on Malta with its beds
for TOO sick Is monument to the
knights and their noble work.
Today they have taken back their
high character but there remains
but four priories of the great Order
that for centuries did a noble
Christian work in Europe. General
ly today we hear of the knights
only when Catholic laymen who
have given distinguished service to
the Church are made honorary
knights of Malta by the Holy
Father.

MAYOR NOT TO BAN

Maurice j. Tobin has refused to

Gil that he ban the film mission to

that any action injuring Russian re-

AFFECTED AREAS
The most common locations for
chatting to develop in are the arm
pits, beneath the breasts, the groins,
the cleft between the buttockS, and
the inner surfaces of the thighs.
The obese frequently develop chat
ing between folds of adipose tissue.
These are places where perspiration
and heat can be retained, and fric-
ton occurs.
At the outset, the skin becomes
red, and the sensations of heat
and tenderness or soreness are
felt. There is usually no eleva-
ton or thickening of the skin. If
the irritation continues in the
presence of warmth and sweat, the
skin becomes macerated or Softened

charge.
Disagreeable in itself, it Is par
ticularly suspectible to secondary in
lection, and it is not to me ignored,
if only for this reason. Fungi and
yeast organisms find such an area
particularly desirable for growth
and occasionally, in advanced stages
with erosion of the skin and super
fetal liberation, assesses or boils
may develop.
In children, the moist diaper is
a common irritant, and in fat peo-
pie the condition is extremely diff
ficult to control between layers of
excess flesh. Either uncleanlinesS
or the reverse, that is, too frequent
use of irritating soap and water, are
common adjuncts in the develop
ment of chatting.

Chatting is induced by heat, fric-
ton and moisture. The heat Of
the body is sufficient at times, but
warm weather encourages chatting.
The friction may result from the
clothing worn, especially If it is
coarse, or from opposing surfaces OF
skin in contact with one another
