Finland Moves
Nearer Recovery

1elSUlk1
Prime Minister Karl A. Eager
holm says Finland is well on its
way TO postwar recovery.
In a Finnish Internationally
speech he said Finland can look
forward to the day when the last
installment will be paid on its
war PREPARATIONS.
Under its peace treaty with the
Soviet Union signed in Paris in
1947, Finland undertook to pay
$500, 100000 in gold in PREPARATIONS
to Russia within six years, later
extended to eight years.
The prime minister said the day
is in sight when displaced persons
will have their own homes and
war-ravaged areas would all be
rebuilt.
He called on warning factions
among Finlands political parties
to pull together for the general
welfare of the nation.

Plain Talk About Funerals
(FrOm The Atlanta DaiIy World)

The Tulsa, Oklahoma, Ministerial Alliance suggests
the following improvements in the average funeral ser
vice: &s
That funerals for church members be held in the
church. that only hymns Of faith comfort and hope be
sung that scripture dealing with comfort consolation
pe rea that the service be not than thirty min
uteS long; that it emphasize victory and immortality
Tor the deceased comfort and challenge to the living;
that police escort for funeral professions be made
pubic service that funeral Sunday be avoided that
bigger and better funerals be discouraged
What q splendid list of suggestions these are!
Hooray Tor the rare good Judgment of these Oklahoma
MINISTER'S And since the subject of funerals
we might carry it step further. Thorp McClusky
writing on the subject of Death Parade" has this
important array of statistics for guide:
III 1888 the average overall" guneral cost in the
Metropolitan New York was S317 By 1916 the
average for the entire nation had reached 1888 Just
year later it had climbed to S375 and 1947 S4O9
Last year the New York City average was $496-and
prices are still climbing In other words the conclusion
here is that today increasingly, witnessing mad
race between families the type of expensive funerals
we Can provide for our departed loved ones. And to
head off this unhealthy trend, Mr. McClusky suggests
these safeguards
First, restore simplicity to our funerals. This
means that must be guided by our own convictions
and not the opinion of the undertaken or neighbor.
Second, keep the coffin simple and inexpensive.
Death renders all equals rich is no more aware
of the box he is buried in than pauper
Third, exclude formal floral tributes. If flowers
were customary in the home, by all means have them,
but only normal amount-and devote the money to
the welfare of the living.
Fourth, do away with the public funeral-and hold
only simple-and preferably brief-religious service
at the house and again at the grave Have no paid pail
bearers musicians let these functions be performed
by friends and hold this modest funeral as soon after
death as arrangements can be completed.
Fifth take the funeral service out of the under
takers chapel and return it to the home or church.

The Phi Beta Sigmas are wind

indeed many tribute was paid

those same friends to do likewise
when he answered the last call
from the Master. We must admit
that it is something that every

Law

SAN FRANCISCO. - (SpeciaD
Proposed fair employment leg
islation now before the city Board
of Supervisors has received the
unqualified support of The Mon
itor, official newspaper of the
Catholic Archdiocese of San Fran
cisco.
Under the proposed ordinance,
which is similar to proposals al
ready enacted in New York State,
the Mayor of San Francisco would
appoint a commission of four
members and chairman to insure
equal opportunities for everybody,
regardless of race, color or re-
ligion.
Asserting that Fair Employment
Practices Commissions are
strong, healthy step toward the
fulfillment of the social program
proposed by Pope Plus XII, the
editorial declares:
Cdtnollc teacning has always
stressed the Importance of the
individual person. We believe that
every human being has an essen,
tial dignity and integrity which
must be respected and safe
guarded"
Discrimination in employment is
immoral" according to the edi-
torial. Christian moral teach
ing requires every employer to
maintain and enforce non-discrim-
inatory policies in hiring, upgrad-
ing and discharge. For this rea-
son, an F. E. P. C. is wise legis-

HIS WORD
By Archbishop w. ID. C. Johnson

The forerunner of the Lord Jesus
Christ was John the Baptist. He
more signally honored of God than
any other whose name is recorded
in either the old or the new testa-
ment. John was of the priestly
race by both parents, for his father
Zacharias, was himself priest of
the course of Abba, or Abijah; Of
fering incrense at the temple of
the most high God in the Sanctu-
ary.
The holy of holiness, the Angel
Gabriel, appeared to Zacharias to
tell him of his wife Elizabeth 60
ing to have a son; his name, John
Elizabeth, the daughter of Aaron
the high priest was filled with
the Holy Ghost, even from the
womb. The Lord blest Elizabeth
and Zacharias with a son and in
the sixth month the Angel Gabriel
was sent unto city of Gallilee
named Nazareth, to a virgin es-
poused to a man whose name was
Joseph, of the House of David, and
the virgins name was Mary. And
the Angel came into her and said,
Hail, thou are highly favored, the
Lord is with thee; blessed art thou
amongst woman"
So you see, Mary is the lord of
heaven, Mother Mary and Eliza
beth, kin. both devout persons
walking in the Commandments of
God.
Zacharias, Elizabeth and Mary,
the mother of the Lord was waiting
for the fulfillment of Gods promise
to Israel, the divine mission of John
was the subject of prophecy many
centuries before his birth, for st.
Matthew tells us (3:3) that it was
John who was prefigured by Isaiah,
as the voice of the Lord. Make his
path straight the voice of one cry
ing i'll the wilderness, prepare ye
the way of the Lord, the prophet
MALACHI, the spirit of the Lord an
nounces more definitely, behold,
will send my messenger, saith the
Lord of the Host, Jesus. Amen.
