The Week in Religion
By RELIGIOUS News Service

General Protestant opposition
to any form of gambling was un-
derscored this week when the
Federal Council of Churches de-
nounced a proposal by Mayor
William ODwyer of New York
for State-controlled betting on
sports events.
Gambling is one of the major
Issues on which Protestant forces
throughout the country have
taken a determined stand during
the past several years.
Brushing aside Mayor O'Dwyer's
argument that legalized gambling
would give the State new sources
Of needed revenue and eliminate
the criminal element in gambling,
the council branded gambling as
"an insidious menace to personal
character and morality
The council, which represents
27 .denominational organizations,
asserted that "by encouraging the
idea of getting something for
nothing. of getting a financial
return without rendering any
service, gambling tends to under
mine the basic ideals of public
welfare"
Sporting events on which Mayor
ODwyer would favor legalized
betting include horse racing, base
ball. basketball, football, boxing
and ice hockey. He ruled out pin
ball and slot machines, roulette
and card rooms, and said it would
be up to the Legislature to decide
whether there should be legalized
lotteries.
Beyond question, Protestant
church groups will strongly op-
pose any legislation along the
lines suggested by the New York
City chief executive.
This was indicated in a state
ment issued by the Protestant
Council of the City of New York,
which voiced a sincere hope
that the Legislature will not

Friends He Made at Hospital Just Wouldn't Let Mkey Die

it. Another nurse, Miss Caro-
Allen. gave him so cubic cent?.

Ice Cream for Awakening.
Then. finally, last Saturday
Mikey came out of his coma. Mrs
Hart was watching, waiting with
some ice cream in her hand.
When he opened his eyes anc
saw me again for the first time, he
took the ice cream and smiled,
Mrs. Hart said.
From then on knew every.
thing was going to be all right"

Hospital routine was thrown to
the winds when the 20-month- old
son of a George Washington Uni
versity Hospital nurse was brought
into the hospitals emergency
room with serious burns.
And a month later the place is
still upset, with most of the staff
giving time, work and sympathy.
Michael Hart, called Mikey by
anyone who sees him, crawled
out of his crib for the first time
on September IA and into the
bathroom. Somehow he managed
to climb into the wash basin and
accidentally turned on the hot
water. The scalding water burned
his feet and legs.
George j. Hart, his father, a
free-lance medical and scientific
writer, sent to the hospital for
help. Five minutes later his
mother, Eileen, came home.
Carried to Emergency Room.
From then on the hospital all
but belonged to Mikey. DR.. John
Dillon, resident doctor in the
X-ray department, rushed to the
Hart's apartment around the
corner at 1928 H street NV. and
carried the boy to the emergency
room.
That's when DR.. William Nc
Kelway, DR.. Owen Gwathney, DR.
Dennis Mccarthy and DR.. John
Keashishian, staff residents, took
over. They quickly applied vase
line gauze and pressure bandages
and took him to Ward 4-C.
! Everything was fine then until
II am. September 16, when Mikey
started sinking. His circulatory
system began to fail, and he de-
veloped toXenia.
Another resident physician, DR..
James Kelly, rushed in to cut
down on a vein and start the
blood flowing again.

Smiling faces-what do
they mean?
These youngsters represent
a little community of 101
girls who but for a citizenry's
concern might be growing up
rarely smiling, without hope.
These 101 girls, for a year,
or two years-or longer
have been deprived of a nor
NAL home. Their families
have been disrupted-by ill
ness or poverty, or death.
But Catholic Charities has
opened to them a substitute
home, a place where there is
not merely shelter, but even
more vital friendship and
ready counsel and q whole
some daily life. This place is
st. Vincent's Home. Girls
from 5 to 18 can call it home
as long as they need it.
The meaning in their
smiles is trust. It is reflected
in the faces of thousands of
other children who find
needed help In the COM
munity-children with ply
sical disabilities, such as loss
of hearing; children who are
Ill or injured and must have
medical or surgical care;
children with psychiatric
problems; youngsters who
need a wholesome place to
play, under intelligent guild
ance, when their parents
must work; children whose
lives, left to their own re-
sources, would have far less
chance of happiness and
worthy fulfillment.
Children who, when they
must, can place their trust
in the community, can smile.
The way to make sure they
and others of all ages can
keep smiling is to wear the
red feather of a contributor
to the Community Chest.
