FISHERMEN FLOCK
TO TROUT STREAMS
Former Governor Temple
toms Catch Among Best
Reported to Date

Gasoline and tire rationing failed
to discourage many of the fisher
men this past weekend from par
|ticipattng In their favorite sport.
Despite the international" in
conveniences, Saturday morning,
and yesterday too, found many ang-
lers at brooks, pools and lakes in
dulging In their sport. However, the
majority of these sportsmen chose
their waters making sure they were
within a few miles of their homes.
Fishing on the whole wasn't a
very profitable one for most of the
participants. except for Ex-Gover-
nor Charles A. Templeton, who
caught q Speckled beauties from
the Laurel Lodge pool in Nauga-
atuek. a privately owned preserve.
Another bit of information came
through revealing that a Water
town fisherman had caught a 81
inch trout weighing 3 and a half
pounds. but his name and the fiSh's
original address could not be ob-
tanned.

treasured since win have no patience
with such seofnng.
The major relic Of the True Cross
e preserved IN the Church Of santa
Croce IN Rome where u was brought
by 81. Helena IN the fourth century,
There are other small and many
tiny portions Of the Cross IN many
parts Of the world. Great numbers
Of our Bishops have relios q The
True Cross IN their pectoral crosses
which they wear on chains about
their necks. The authenticity Of
these irelRs b guarded from age
10 age with official documents
handed down with them./
THE CROWN OF TElORNs
The Crown o. ThOrns pressed
cruelty into the head Of the Saviour
during His Passion was preserved
ct Jerusalem for several hundred
years. Thorns from the Crown even
during these early centuries were
distributed 10 churches IN many
parts Of the world.
The whole Crown was transferred
to ConStantlnople In 1858 and IN
1888 It was secured BY Saint Louis,
King Of France, who brought It 10
Paris where the saint Chapelle Yves
built for II and other relics Of the
Passion. During the French Revolu-
ton It was placed In the Biblitheque
Rationale but It was restored to the
Church In 1906 and placed In the
Notre Dame Cathedral where pre-
sumably It now rests. In 1883 q
magnificent new reliquary Of rock
crystal and silver was made and
now encase this precious relic.
AZ II Is preserved the Crown Is
circlet Of rushes with no thUrns.
When the relic was brought 10 Paris
those thorns that remained were
brought IN . separate reliquaIy but
during the centuries they have been
distributed to various churches.
OTHER RELICS
The colum or pillar at which Our
Blessed Lord was scourged Is now
In two sections. Half OF Il was trans
ferred TO Rome IN 1923 BY Cardinal
John Colonna and Is now preserved
in the Church Of st. Praxedes IN
Rome while the other half Is VEN
Grated in Jerusalem.
The lance with which Our Lords
sacred Side was pierced has been pre-
served at st. Peters In Rome since
1892. The point Of the lance which
had broken OF was brought to Paris
in 1871 and was venerated there un-
I'll the time Of the French Revolu-
ton when 1t disappeared.
II IL not certain whether there
were three or four nails used IN
the Crdcifixion Of Christ. st. An
brose, as others, tells US that they
were found by st. Helena Is was
the True Cross and that she had
one Of them converted into @bridle
for the horse Of her Empcror-Son,
Constantine, and another was fash
toned into his crown. It Is probable
that the iron crown Of LOnbardy
preserved at Mona is identical with
this crown. Many nails are venerat-
ed In Europe as Holy Nails but they
either contain filings from the Holy
Nails or are replicas Of them.
The Holy Shroud which authOri-
ties agree 10 the one I'm which the
body Of Christ was laid when He
was taken down from tire Cross has
long been venerated IN the Cathe-
dTal Of Turin. Recently because Of
the danger Of air raids It has been
taken to q place Of safety known

THE PASSION AND
THE STATIONS
The Catholic devotion 10 the
Passion Of Christ y one Of the
Oldest forms Of worship IN Christ
ianity. The Via Dolorosa Of Jeru-
salem which marks the way taken
by Christ IN His sufferings has been
Severently marked out as place
Of pilgrimage from the time the
pagan prosecutions eased sufficiently
Tor the safe visitation Of these holy
places. Tradition tells US that the
Blessed Virgin during the time she
was in Jerusalem used TO visit these
holy places daily, ana st. Jerome
tells Us that in the fourth century
crowds Of pilgrims from all over
the world came TO Jerusalem to
venerate these places that mark the
events Of Our Lords Passion.
The difficulties Of travel to Jeru-
salem and the desire 10 honor the
memory Of the Passion combined
and led to the development Of our
devotion known as the Stations Of
the Cross. Here we honor fourteen
incidents In Chrigt's passion but
although the number fourteen Il
now determined throughout the
Church the events commemorated
In the Stations are merely suggested
subjects Of meditation and one can
mediate on any phase in the Pas
sion. The incident Of Veronica'e
wiping the face Of Christ with .
veil, for example, is not in the
scriptural accounts Of the Passion
put Is firmly established In the
tradition Of the Church. However,
II one wanted to have q strictly
scriptural set Of Stations It would
Do possible TO substitute for this one
Of the incidents recorded In the
scriptures but not presently COM
memorated In the Stations.
RELICS OF THE PASSION
Various relics Of the Passion have
oeen preserved IN. the Church since
Tho earliest ages. The most import
ant naturally are the relics Of the
True Cross. OF course one occaS-
onally meets o SOOTHING argument
against these relics; but anyone who
mas read the history Of how st.
Helena, the aged mother Of the
emperor Constantine, found the
True Gross In 326 and who knows
now carefully these relics have been

ALONG THE
WAY

What does success mean to YOU
Does il mean a lavishly furnished
home. cars and material posses
sions? Does It mean being on init
mate terms with celebrities and
social leaders? Does il mean keep
ing up with the Joneses' ana ignor-
ing and scorning your less fortu-
nate brothers and sisters?
That is not my idea OF true sue
cess. He who taught Us the way
OF life said, He who would be
greatest among you, let him be SER
want of all" The person who has
served mankind most is the most
successful. Material possessions are
splendid IL we do not let them pos
scsS Us. The most successful per-
son is he who has given kind
word or smile 20 the unhappy one:
ne who has retained the love OF
children. He who has sacrificed
time and finance 10 make this world
better place in which 10 live He
who has worked unselfShly for the
cei;erment OF mankind. He who has
fought the fight FOX justice 20 the
underprivileged and m orr t Y
groups: he who remains warmly
human. understanding and sp-
proschsble.
He may not have any great ma
terial wealth, but he has attained
true success. He is loved and re-
spected by God and man!
What does success mean 10 you?
