Catholic Informati0n The COW that gives pink buttermilk

First of all we want to be fair. We want to tell you that there is no such COW, any more than there are bushes which grow lime lillipops or trees which sprout plum puddings- any more than there are churches which automatically produce rich people.
 That's what we're driving at. It sounds so foolish when people say, But Catholic countries are poor!" It just doesn't add up. It's like say ing, Its good icebox all right, but it's painted blue!"
 Do you see what We mean2 It's the main business of COW, as far as we're concerned, to give milk sweet milk. It's the main business of an icebox to keep things cool. The color on the outside has noth- ing to do with it. And it's the chief business of a Church to make peo- pie holy. Whether those people happen to be tall or short, skinny or fat, young or old, rich or poor, has nothing to do with it-no more than the. color Of fire truck affects its speed.
 People are generally rich or poor independently of their Church afili- ation. There are rich Baptists and poor Baptists; rich Methodists and poor Methodists; rich Catholics and poor Catholics. They aren't rich or poor because they're Baptists. Meth odists, or Catholics. They're rich because they have brains, ambition, luck, or simply because they hap pened to pick the right parents.
 Let's say, too, that nations have their ups and downs. Ancient Egypt, Babylonia, and Assyria, were neith- CT Protestant, Jewish, nor Catholic and yet each had it's day as the richest, most powerful nation on earth. Greece and Rome in their palmiest days knew nothing oi Christianity. Charlemagne, on the other hand, was crowned by the Pope in 800 and was the most pow erful ruler in our western orbit. The Holy Roman Empire under Charles V, and Spain at her prime; the great cities of Italy during the Ren- aissance- and Venice-al were Catholic.
 Then came the modern era and the rise of other powers. How car we say that the religion of the peo- pie had anything at all to do with their trade-balance, the fertility o1 their soil, or their deposits of coal iron, and oil?
 Catholic countries-poor? richi big? little? hot? cold? There is nc connection. The Catholic Church wants to make people holy. If they happen to get rich somewhere along the line, what of it? The main thing is that they get to heaven.

 By IT WILLIAM c. DIVER
 Drivers, do you suffer from Parking Headaches?" Police de- partment records show that thou sands of motorists yearly have to pay on the line for illegal parking. For the first six months in the City of Waterbury. over twelve-thousand motorists paid the usual one dollar for overtime parking, allnight parking and parking in a restricted area. Two-hundred twenty three drivers paid six dollars for parking too close to an intersection, and one-hundred-n drivers paid five dollars for failure to report to po- lice headquarters as required by the Ordinance relating to Traffic control and parking meters.
 The state statutes forbidS parking in the following places and manner: You cannot park vehicle within twenty-five feet of an inter section, or marked croSSwalk thereat, or within twenty-five feet of stop sign. No vehicle shall be permitted to remain stationary within ten feet of any fire hydrant

AIHoosmon Gives SovoId Ring Lesson

New York, Jan. 8.-(UP)-Wil- lowy Al Hoosman, an army-devel- oped Negro heavyweight of Los Angeles, established himself as a promising contender last night by upsetting veteran Lee Savold with a nearly "shutout" beating in their return 10-round bout before ll,24S at Madison Square Garden.
 Elongated Hoosman, who packed only 19S 1-2 pounds and cute little mustaclio on his six-foot- three scantling, went into the ring a 2-1 underdog because he had lost to l96 pound Savold in their first bout at St. Nicholas Arena on Dec. 8.
 But brown skinned Al turned the tables on the Paterson, ". J., blond in such lop-Sided fashion that the three ring officials, in voting Hoes man the unanimous decision, al- most shut out Savold, who received but one round from Judge George Lecron, and none from either Ref cree George Walsh or Judge oRn Gilfoyle.
 Hoosman's victory probably will earn Garden bout with Lee Oma of Detroit in March, since the other two logical opponents-Joe Bakst and ami Mauriello-are tentatively matched for the punch emporium on March IS. 4

EHsLUorth Coach
 Signed by College

Storrs, Conn, Jan. 8.-(UP)-- Hugh S. Greer, whose basketball teams at Ellsworth high school, South Windsor. have won i86 games and lost only l6 in nine years, was named today as freshman athletic coach and assistant professor of physical education at University of Connecticut. He will start his new job at the end of the current bas- betball season.
 Greer started coaching at Eils- worth in 1886. His teams won state championships in 1889. le40. le4i. 1884 l945 and made New Eng land scholastic record of e straight wins from 1888 through the le4i season. More remarkable was the fact that he had only about so male students at the high school to draw upon each year.
 During the current season he has won seven and lost one. He also coaches track and soccer at Ells- worth.

Cesorio Wins 39th Straight

Boston, Jan. 7- (UP) - The de- mandS of jolting Johnny Cesario Of Boston that he be recognized as New England welterweight champion were given added stature today after he scored his 39th straight ring vic- tory with 10-round decision over Irish Jimmy Pierce of Vancouver, N. B.
 In his first hometown appearance as a main-bout fighter, the Al i-2 pound Cesario outslugged his 139- pound hollow-cheeked opponent throughout their fight before 4,046 fans at mechanics building last night. Pierce, who fought from a temporarily baffling crouch, won only the third round.
 The victory was somewhat hol- low one however since Pierce was fighting with an injured right hand that was treated with a special in- lection prior to the bout.
 Another long winning streak was extended in 10-round co-feature when Bobby zollo, l50, of Providence R. l., scored his 22nd consecutive victory with a third round technical knockout over Johnny Charles, 14S, of Newark, N. J. The pile-driving Zollo knocked Charles down four times for nine-counts, twice in the second and twice in the third before the bout was stopped.
 In two other 10-round bouts in the city's first professional boxing show of the year, Jackie Caparell, l6S, of Boston decisioned Langston Dennis, IFS, of New York and Joe Blackwood, 155, of Patterson, N. J.. knocked out Jay Paganelli, 16l, Of Beleville, N. J.. in the second.
 The bouts grossed $6,46l for a net of $5,096.

 There's also 8 possibility that Ross and Bob Hume of Michigan may get east for several meets, and Mehl has been working well out at Wisconsin" Ferris said.
 Mari: Still Away
 But despite all this wishful think ing, MacMitchell seems about the best bet. He held the 4:07.4 indoor mark before Gil Dodds dropped it down to 4:0.4 and has pronounced himself ready for competition"
 Les is in good shape but he won't hit his peak until next year, |" said cautious Emil von Filing, his old N. Y. U. coach. But he should be able to give this Hansenne a good run. Hansenne's 4:08.2 is pretty fair but he'll have to do bet- ter than that to beat Les"
 Yet, before all you track fans be- gin to dream about the four minute mile again, von Filing doesn't think MacAIitchell will do 4:07 this win ter. So it shows you how close they're splitting seconds, consider that Mas will beat 4:08.2 and yet won't better 4:07. Despite all Fer ris's running, the four minute mile still looks a long way of.

Cooper Difference to Giants;
 FenWay Park Friendly to York; Bucs' Brown Has Winning Ways

at the Polo Grounds last, netted $500, 900.
 Owner Stoneham will have to charge off the Giants share of three capacity home crowds to pay for Walker Cooper. This on top of an $l8,000 pay check.
 Cooper, 3l, should pay rich divi- dendS over period of five years however, for in addition to being the best catcher in baseball, he is a smacking right-hand hitter and ex- ceptionally fast for a bloke of his dimensions. He belts the ball to right-center and down the foul lines which is a tremendous advantage at the Polo Grounds, where home runs are rather cheap.
 Giants won't be even a reasonable facsimile of the speed boys, but with batting order of Willard Marshall Bill Rigney or Mickey Witek, Mel Ott, Johnny Mize, Cooper, Babe Young, Sid Gordon and Buddy Kerr they are going to score lot of runs on certain afternoons and nights.
 Rigney is a highly regarded young ster up from the Oakland Coasters conceded more of a chance to beat out Witek at second than Kerr at shortstop.
 With either Rigney or witek teamed with Kerr, there will be no clowns around second base.
 Rudolph Preston York, 32, last season appeared as washed up as Christmas tree the day after New Years, and if the InJun can stage 6 comeback anywhere 1t is in Fenway Park, the short left field fence oi which always has been friendly to him.
 First base was the one spot the Red Sox had to fill. If Rudy York stands up. they should be formidable with Tex Hughson lending Boo Fer riss a hand. Hal Wagner catching Bobby Doerr and Johnny Pesky around second base, Jim Tabor al third, and Ted Williams, Dom Di- Maggie, Johnny Lazor and Pete Fox in the outlying precincts.
 The Pirates didn't get springer when they dug up $30,000 for the 34- year-old James Roberson Brown, key man of the Cardinals for six years.
 But hustling Jimmy Brown, equal ly at home at second, third and shortstop, has winning ways, and il the North Carolina State alumnuS can impart some of them to the backward Buccaneers he'll be well worth the price.
