Rain, rain, and more rain!

LIFE AT A GLANCE
BY David Bethe

WHAT TO DO ABOUT PRE-
JUDGE? Judging from what took
place at St Louis when meeting
of TOO Catholics protested the at
tendance of Negro children at
white Catholic schools. we can ex-
pect much from the universal
church, if indeed, this action is
any indication of trend. The ae-
ton on the part of the catholic
parishes in St. Louis County may
seem at first TO be of slight con-
Germ, but when viewed from the
fact that the Catholic Church has
been more human in this respect.
than most churches, it takes on
decided significance. Especially
that the protesting groups insist
on papal ruling, despite the rul-
ing of the Archbishop.
Yes, prejudices are buried deep
ly in the life Of our American
society. They are, regretfully as
u is, not entirely free of our So
called christian organizations. This
challenge is a very big job for
some God-fearing American. But
who is this man who will dare TO
work for the elimination Of pre-
