Catholic Information No thanks not during Lent!

Not smoking, Jim? Whats wrong-health?"
 ''No, Tom, but I don't doubt that forty days lay-off won't hurt this old carcess a bit"
 "What's the big idea, then? Just to see if you can do it?"
 "Wrong again! But just the same, self-denial is a great thing for self-control; and in an emer- gency self-control comes in mighty handy. But Tom, don't you know it's Lent?"
 "Oh, sure enough! But then 1 though it was food you gave up in Lent"
 Fasting is the main idea, Tom. In fact, the Church normally binds all it's children over twenty one and under sixty to eat but one full meal a day and to eat meat but once day, except few days when all meat is entirely taboo. I'll admit that sounds severe, but it's really no hardship when you consider that all folks who need the full allotment of food because of ill-health or hard work, are dispensed from all fasting. Pm a worker, so I don't have to fast"
 "Ha-ha, Jim, now I know why you are anxious to work hard; but still I don't see where the smoke sacrifice comes in"
 "Oh, that's of my own choosing, Tom. Many are dispensed from fasting, but none is dispensed from Lenten observances. All who cannot fast are counseled to deny themselves something else which

 Fasting has been, since long before the days of Christ, one of the highest forms of worship. Sac rifice is the trueSt test of love. You know how Christ lasted forty days and nights for us and how he sacrificed His life for love of us. We'll, the Church sets aside these forty days of Lent to give us op- portunity to atone for our sins by fasting, penance, and prayer, to refresh in our minds the memory of Gods death in the Cross for us, and to prove our own love for Him by denying ourselves things our bodies desire.
 Sacrifice is the truest test of love. You should understand that. Tom-you who are sacrificing all the time to provide for your fam fly now and after you have gone. Can't you see, then, how those who really love God want to deny themselves something for Him."

 George Washington, who was born in l732 and died in 1799 was a native of Virginia. We now think of the state of Virginia as an eastern state of ancient culture. In Washington's days it was a west ern frontier and the colonists were in constant war with the savages. Washington was a Wild WeSterner" in his day. He was a pioneer, a scout, pathfinder and Indian fighter.
 Washington's half brother Law renee who was fourteen years older married into the wealthy Fairfax family. Lord Fairfax had enormous tracts of land beyond the Blue Ridge Mountains which he wanted surveyed. Washington was appointed to make the sur vey. After completing the survey, he enjoyed the work so much that he took out a license for a public surveyor. He was sent against the French to claim possession of the Ohio valley and built Fort Neces- sity. At the beginning of the Rev. olutionary War, he was appointed cOmmander-in-chief. The surren- der of Burgoyne at Saratoga and Cornwallis at Yorktown soon terminated the war.
 The thirteen colonies were unit ed in a loose alliance under the Articles of Confederation. After the adoption of the Constitution, Washington became the first President of the United States. He was inaugurated on April 30, 1789.
 Monday noon, the Nome High school team took to the air and directed their course to Anchor age for the basketball tourna- ment. Juanita carried blue megaphone with the white letters of Nome on one side and N. H. s. on the opposite side. A special, blue painted stand supported the Nome banner and will be used to Identify the cheering section. Many former Nomeites will con- tribute their voices to the cheer ing section.

WHAT IS COMMUNISM?
(By George Peck ]

(By George Peck)
 Communism is based on theory by Karl Marx that under Capitalism the workers exploited and ground down. When Marx published his theory there was some basis for his castgaton of Capitalism But this long applies, because today under the CapaliStc System the workers get the lions share of what they help to produce
 Communism concentrates all wealth, control of all jobs and free speech into the hands of very few people, Inevitably this leads to dictatorship. This is exactly what happened in Russia, the only major country in which Communism has been tried on large scale.
 Communism presupposes that all people equal. Capitalism knows this to be falacy but does believe that all people should have equal opportunity When Stain became dictator of Russia, his first to turn sharply away from Communism He publicly de- clared that all workers should share alike but that each should be paid according to his individual ability and productivity He stated that worker who worked harder and better than his fellows should have better food better clothing and better home in which to live.
 This tantamOunt to confession that wealth can not and should not be distributed equally AND RIGHT THERE STALIN THREW KARL MARX AND HIS UTOPIAN THEORY OF COMMUNISM INTO THE ASH-CAN Under Communism the people Have to be governed by small group of men, A people who will submit to this kind of rule not fit to govern them selves and should not be allowed to do The is true of all collectivstic systems.
 In America the people individually practically all the wealth of the country and our lawmakers elected representatives Danger threatens this ideal state of economic and political affairs. If continue to place more and more wealth in the hands of our Federal Government thus giving it control of and jobs, these lawmakers will cease to be elected representatives and will become instead un-eeced and self-appOinted rulers.

THE SUNDIAL
by George and Helen Papashvily
authors of 'Anything Can Happen"

Germans who loaded their wagons with the
very harvest the sundial had promised and
drove them over the dangerous road to
Valley Forge.
1t was the act of brave man But it took
even greater courage in those dark times for
him to witness in stone his faith in the
futures eternal promise
Down the years so many other people
beset by pain and death and partings, trou-
bled with doubts and fears, harassed by
unsettled times, must have stopped to read
the sundial's verse and been treasured that
time will surely replace todays sorrow with
tomorrow's joy.
Now. especially in world threatened by
atomic bombs and annihilation, we need
again to be reminded that come what may,
the seed will push through the ground, live
and grow in sun and rain. blossom and fall,
and then in natures unchanging rhythm,
rise to live and grow again.

PERFECT PEOPLE

PERFECT PEOPLE: A psychiatrist has es-
timated that one out of every 140 Americans
is perfect" BY this he means that they lack
the fears, prejudices, vices and weaknesses
that plague imperfect people. And that they
will probably live long, serene life.
He adds, however, that the rest of us should
not be discouraged. Perfection also has its
faults. Perfect people turn out to be rather
uninteresting, sometimes a little inhuman.
They're so well-rounded, the doctor splutters,
they seem just like "a string of zeros.

Heads Bowed, Not Red

A poor winner is sorry sight. A man who
wins an argument does not usually stride over
and punch his opponent in the nose just for
good measure. So the irresponsible statement
of Transit Radio, Inc, which won its fight to
keep music in Washington buses and streetcars
over the protests Of some local citizens, makes a
jarring sound. Richard Crisler, representative
of the triumphant concern, has said that the
people who objected to his product are either
Communists or communistically minded"
The technique of smearing your opposition
is an old one, but not commonly used by COM
mercial concerns. Transit Radio, Inc, is, after
all, in business, although in slightly different
position from other vendors in that it is able to
foist its wares on some people who would rather
not have them. The commuter member of
"captive audience" is powerless. Soap companies,
which may be angered by a housewife who
chooses another brand, have not yet come to
criticizng her in the public prints or of ascrbing
o hateful political doctrine to her.
Mr. Criser further characterized his oppo-
nents as "the widest people I ever saw in my
life" They would probably agree. But not all
wild men are friends Of Stain. These happened
to be outraged because when they are trying to
read their papers or their mail OF maybe only to
