The general feeling throughout
the country in regard to those in

Catholic Information
What Is the Mission of
 . Missionary?

Once there was a handful of men who went forth to convert the world to Christianity. These men knew exactly what their mis- sion was; for Christ had said to them personally: Going there fore, teach ye all nations, bap- tizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you" Matt. 28:19-20.
 They knew full we'll that the truth of their teaching wash guar anteed, for the Master had said: "He that heareth you, heareth me-" Luke 10:16.
 And so they went forth on their humanly impossible mission with forgetfulness of self and singleness of purpose which re- suited in the loss of their lives and the conversion of the ancient world.
 Today in most every land there are Catholic missionary priests about 12,O00 all tolC - each fol- lowing Christ's command: 'Go ye into the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature."- Mark 1915.
 Each teaching the exact same divine truths that Peter and Paul and the other Apostles had preached = each aware of his God- given powers by succession, for our Blessed Lord had said: Behold, I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world Matt. 28:20.
 And so the Catholic missionary of today carries on his Christian mission of teaching, preaching, converting, baptizing: and so it will be throughout the ages until there shall be 'one Fold and one Shepherd"
 The Truth cannot hurt anyone. The truth about things Catholic is what we are attempting to give you in these articles. If you like our explanations, won't you write and tell us SO?

METHODISTS SEEK . CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Donations 10 Support War ! Zone Refugees Says ' Bishop Magee

Chicago, Dec. 23- Giving of sacri- flcial Christmas gifts to funds for the support of refugees in war zones and occupied countries is urged upon the nations 8,0OOO 900 Methodists in a special Yuletide message from Bishop J. Ralph Magee, resident bishop here and director of the de- nominations four-year Crusade for Christ program, which includes a e25, ,0O0, 900 fund for relief and recon struction.
 "A great people like America" Bishop Magee declared, untouched by bombs or shells, mad rich by high incomes and vast production, with schools still open, churches uf- harmed and cultivated fields unmo- tested, must Squarely face an obli- gation to do for the world 8 great unselfish service and demonstrate the sincerity of our profession that we are Christian nation. There is no better time for such demon- Stration than Christmas, the birth day of the Savious."
 United States defense savings bondS and stamps wre recommended in Bishop Magee's message as a method for making dual corltribu. tion to the war effort and the churchiS fund for aiding peoples of war stricken and occupied countries. Such bonds and stamps would not be cashed for immediate use, but would be invested in the permanent funds of church agencies and their value made available to the Crusade, the bishop xplained.
 Hundreds of the 41,0OO Methodist churches already have exceeded their Crusade goals, according to re- ports which Bishop Magee has re- ceived from pastors in every state. Bishop Schuyler E. Garth, Madison, Wis, announced that all of the 5O9 churches in the new Wisconsin area have reached their quotas. This is the first of 33 episcopal areas to re- port success.

FIRST NEW YEARS
 BABY GETS BOND
Connecticut Hospital Serv. ice Makes Its Annual
 Offer of Gift

One Connecticut baby will be born a winner on New Years Day.
 The Connecticut Hospital Serv- ice, non-profit Blue Cross plan for hospital care, will present $50 war bond to the first Connecticut Blue Cross baby born on New Years Day in a member hospital, Charles H. Holt, acting general manager said today.
 MT. Holt said that S2 ember hos pitals throughout the state are CO., operating ito give a Blue Cross youngster goo dstart."
 All member hospitals will be con- tacted by MT. Holt for the exact time of arrival of Connecticut Blue Cross babies born after midnight on December 31. Member hospitals in Waterbury are St. Mary'S HoSpi- tai
 For the last three years the bond was presented to the first New Years baby by the Connecticut Plan for Hospital Care, known as the ssu uopezTuB5Io sIuL 'ssoIO s2IqM since consolidated with the Hospital Service Plan of Norwalk to form the statewide Blue Cross plan.
 The first Connecticut Blue Cross baby of the 1945 New Year will be eligible for the bond if his mother holds a membership issued by either of the former planes or by the new organization.
 The bond, which will be made out in the child's name, will be given to the parents for guardianship un- til it natures at full value when the child is ten years old.
 Last year Michael Leslie Burns. son of MT. and Mrs. Edwin Burns of 46 Davis Drive, Bristol, arrived in time to win the war bond although he did. not arrive until three hours after the stroke of midnight. this year, 6,293 Plan babies have been born, an average of IT day. ; In 1943, Warren Ellsworth En- dress of 59 Piper Road.

 Not creature was stirring, not even a mouse The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads; And mamma in her kerchief, and in my cap, Had just settled our brains for long winters nap When out on the lawn there arose such clatter sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window flew like flash, Tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash THE moon on the breast of the new.faIlen snow j.

DEST0YING PEANUT BUTTER

In the light of the nation 8
wartime food policy that millions
may be saved from starvation
elsewhere in the world, one can
not help but veiw the recent de-
struction of 200 jars of peanut
butter by federal marshal in
Idaho Falls. Idaho with disgust.
T h marshal acted under a
federal court order, the circum-
stance being that each jar con-
tanned 1856 ounces instead of 16
ounces as stated on the label.
Dr.. Paul B. Dunbar, acting
food and drug administrator, ad-
mitted that such a>waste of food
was a "blunder' on the part of
his agency.
1t has been pointed out that
this sinful destruction of food
could have been averted had this
department seen fit to have the
ars relabeled, or perhaps "a
(thirty-four hundredths) of an
ounce of the peanut butter could
have been taken out of a com
paratively small number of full
jars to bring the contents of the
remainder up to what was desig.
mated by the label.
Or why couldn't there have
been some channel provided that
this peanut butter could reach
many hungry mouth, and there
are many in this world today.

pany commanders and non-coms,
he has been rugged in his approach,
explaining in soldiery terms the
vital need of such a procedure. His
language. far from drawing room,
was such that the soldiers under
stood. Not coercion, but what he
described as plain common sense.
Examples or Saving
AS the personnel records were
studied one example stood out. A
corporal who draws $8050 monthly
out of which he pays $50 in an al
lotment. $610 insurance, $l8.75 for
war bond, has on deposit over
$3.50. Another example, a sergeant
has saved over $500 during a
period OF 81 months. His pay is
$3.50 monthly out Of which come
$22 allotment, Sl8.75 war bond, and
$3.50 insurance.
The total monthly payroll for
the unit is approximately $4,000
Of which, the last report shows
Sl,l39.50 60 for insurance, $4,208 in
allotments, $l,70l.25 in war bonds
leaving $6,75l75. OF this amount
$3,305 was placed in soldier de-
post. Money orders took one-third
OF that amount leaving actual bal
ance OF less than 20 per cent Of total
payroll.
Little To Spend For

men in this forward area have little
