Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DoNNELLY
MISSION PATTERN

I MISSION PATTERN
 Four hundred years ago as Europe watched the revolt of Reformation pull whole nations from the Church there occurred almost wholly un- noticed some of the Church's great est victories in the mission fields. From Mexico missionaries carried the Faith to the limits of South America. Missionaries from France passed: from the Gulf of St. Law renee westward to the Mississippi. The Philippines were converted and strong outpostS were established in the Far East and India.
 Today, again almost wholly unno- ticed, in the turmoil of the world conflict, missionaries are doing great deeds for Christ. Many who have remained with their flocks in war areas and shared their dangers are winning thousands to Christ's fold. BLACK HARVEST
 In Africa the advances made have been most remarkable. In the West of the Congo there are two districts that are knowns as Ruanda and Urundi which are inhabited by people with an advanced civiliza- tion and who resemble the Ethiop- fans rather than the Negroes of Central Africa.
 These people vehemently resisted Christianity. When the White Father first came in 1881 they were killed to the last man, and though they returned their work was not rapidly rewarded. Until 1922 there were but three mission stations in the two provinces. But in the last fifteen years the stream of conver- sions has been like raging torrent.
 In Urundi alone in 1926 there were 10000 Christians, in 1886 there were 2O,000-but in 1941 (the last figures available) there were 400, ,00C or one-third of the population. In Ruandi the same is true-30 900 in 1925, and 100000 in 1941. In the two provinces there are but 15O white priests and 70 African priests who must care for nearly 8 million souls including those under instruction for reception into the Church.
 DO THEY KEEP THE FAITH?
 In these two districts there is an average of 30.000 baptisms a year Recently the King of Ruandi was baptized. Ninety per cent of the Chiefs are already Catholics. The missions have 5000 schools educat- ing 100000 children.
 Do these converts keep the faith? Do they preserve? The late Bishop Gorgu stated T believe that out of thousand Catholics we will find five who have not preservered. This is a true proportion, and pernaps exaggerated"
 One of the interesting problems of the missionaries is that of distri- outing Holy Communion. The num- Der of Communions reaches 10000, 900 each year and none of the regu- lar ciboria are large enough to carry the sacred particles needed. At first baskets lined with linen were used as a necessity. Now enormous con- tainers, each capable of holding 2O,- 900 hosts, meet the need of the great Communions on feast days.

Rev. J. DOnnelly the road marked out by Dr. Dewey we may increase our wealth; we may lengthen our lives and we may gain complete mastery over nature, but we shall find that technology is not a sub- stitute for justice and shall not know what to do with our lives. '' And Dr. Hutchins went on to prove his words by showing how science is being used today on the grandest scale in history = but for the ex- termination of mankind.
 CLASSROOM NONSENSE
 Dr. Hutchins wise words recalled an incident we heard just few weeks ago. A professor of sociology in one of our large secular univer- sities was about to assign some "out- side" work for his class, a compost tion on a topic of current intrest- "But," he warned them, don't write a composition on the subject of the Pope and his Peace Plans. We will have none of that nonsense in here"
 ACoUACo OC4A46 O D4L 0AO6 ItobAA1B OAAO incident indicates that non-sec- tartan education is still a source of bigotry and disrespect for religion. We wonder If this same professor, reputed to be a learned man, would have an easy time ridiculing the Holy Father in the presence of the thousands of young Americans who since the Allied conquest of Rome have seen the Holy Father in per- son, who know at first hand the sincerity of his work for a lasting peace at the end of the war and the generosity of his service to the mill lions of poverty and disease stricken victims of war in Italy and France.
 Or is it nonsense to work and pray for a better world and bet ter peace? If we shall ever attain it, the principles of peace and the manner of building the peter world muSt be taught to the people so that they may insist that a lasting peace in 8 better world must become a reality. Learning the lesson in a fox hole or on a beachhead is a little gruesome.

A minimum 350,000 new non- farm housing units and 50000 new commercial buildings in the first postwar year is predicted in a brochure prepared by the Market ing Staff of American Builder and distributed countrywide to build ing material and equipment manu- lecturers this week.
 Titled Residential and Commer- cial Building in the Immediate Postwar Years" the survey covers the first three years after the ces- sation of hostilities, and predicts that in the third year new home unit construction will reach a level of 750,000 and new commercial structures 150,00O annually. The three year total is set at 1,600, ,00O home units and 100000 stores.
 Pointing out the readiness of the light-load construction industry to swing into action without reconver- sion problems, American Builders survey indicates a large percentage of operative building for the first year, both by builders engaged in completing subdivisions and de- velopmentS cut of by ward restric- tions, and speculative builders in substantial number who already have sites purchased, plans drawn, and applications processed up to the point of final commitment by FILA. It believes, however, that over the long haul the potential volume of individual homes to be built on individual contract will far exceed the speculative volume, since more than two-thirds of new homes are built where the people live" in towns of 50,000 and less. Matters of necessary individual negotiation will not make for quick accelera- tion of this market in volume, but once under way it will be steady and eventually surpass the opera tive building operations.
 An interesting feature of the sur- vey is the attempt to show where these new homes and commercial structures will be located. Based upon past experience, by far the, greatest number will rise in places having 2,50O population or less.
 More than 3,5OO,OOO persons would be directly needed for the produc- tion of 100000 homes, the survey indicates. The services of 3,OOO,OOO architects, engineers draftsmen, skilled and unskilled construction workers; 10000 special trade con- tractors; 125, ,000 wholesale and re- tail distributors; 25,O00 manufactur- CTS and producers; 10000 realtors, agents and developers are called for, as well as that of $500 banks, building and loan and other mort gage lending agencies, and miscel- leaneous title examiners, insurance men, building inspectors and other local or federal employees.

HOSPITAL UNIT
 GAN BE DIVIDED
 INTO 36 PACKS

CIevealnd, Nov. 7.-(UP) For the first time since its inception n the mind of an anonymous Army surgeon-probably a relative Of tlas man who devised the method of packing sardines-th public hasF pital unit which is saving the lives of 97 out of 100 battle casualties.
 The unit, on display at the rec cent American Hospital Assn. con~ vention here, can be sub-dividea into 36 50-to-70 pound packs for move ing and can be carried on the backs of surgeons and doctors over muddy jungle trails impossible to vehicles or mules.
 Not all of the unit was on dis play, but even so, it had never been exhibited to such an extent, The unit can be set up within 400 yards of battle lines and can care for as many as 40 casualties at a time.
 Equipment includes surgical in~ struments delicate enough to per- form brain and nerve operations enough medicine to doctor g bat- talion of men for week, mess equipment, generators, hospital cots and linens, and insecticides.
 The Cleveland exhibit also dlS- played eight-inch insect bombs guaranteed to kill every insect within a 2,500-square-foot range, and samples of DOT. Sprayed by airplane, deadly-efficient DDT can clean up insect-infested areas n half an hour,. areas which formerly would have taken 200 men one month to disinfect.
 Incidentally, DOT, which is not vet available to the American pub- lie, is known as sleeping powder to thousands of Egyptians ana Arabs, because for the first time they are able to sleep comfortanly without lice.

FAMILY CARS
 WON'T GIVE WAY
 TO PLANES YET

State College, Pa, Nov. 7.-(UP) Do not expect to buy that small plane or helicopter as soon as the war ends. According to Dr. David J. Peery, of the aeronautical enegi- neering department of Pennsyl- vania State College, reconversion from war to private planes in the aircraft industry will take at least five years.
 It will probably be ten years be- fore most of your neighbors will replace the family bus with pri- vate readable 'airplane or hen- copter. Many of these small planes will be capable of running on high ways as well as in the air, and folding wings and landing gear de- signed for one-way landing strips along highways or in town may be added features, Dr. Peery states.
 If you live in the East, Dr. Peery predicts that your choice will be a helicopter, because of it's suitabil- ity for rough topography and pop ulation congestion. The postwar airplane, however, should be more popular in the wide open country of the Midwest and West.
