School Head SAYS
Parents Obstruct
Religious Callings

NEW ORLEANS - MC)-There
is a shortage in Catholic education
that has nothing to do with the
shortage of building material,
teacher certifieation, federal aid
or similar matters. the Very Rev
Henry c. Bezou, superintendent of
schools in the Archdiocese of New
Orleans. told the 800 parents and
guests who attended the 18th an.
nual luncheon of the Council of
Catholic School Cooperative Clubs.
This shortage, said Msgr. Bezou,
is the shortage of teaching priests,
Sisters and Brothers.
Parents expect their children to
have religious teachers, and some
threaten to remove their children
from school if lay teachers are
substituted, he said, but it is neces-
sary to employ lay teachers. Since
1916, he explained, the number of
priests, Sisters and Brothers teach
ing in New Orleans has increased
by only 56, but the enrolment has
increased almost 1000. Over the
same period 167 lay teachers have
been added.
Msgr. Bezou blamed the short
age of teaching Religious on par
entail indifference, if not resist
ance," to their children's entering
the religious life.

We've been looking back in the
records and just for the sake of
S, mething or other we'd like to OBJ
serve the following notes from the
Catholic elementary scene just
twenty years ago.
The Catholic Elementary league
opened its fifth year of competi-
tion twenty years ago. There were
three leagues-the Northwestern,
Southeastern and international.
The teams were placed in the
leagues according to the section
of the town they were in, with the
international league being for the
very small teams. There were
eighteen teams taking part in the
football program: st. Vincent's, Vic
tory, Cathedral, st. Augustine's,
st. Leo's, Rosary, st, Dominic'S,
st. Mary's, ST. Johns, ST. Thomas
Sacred Heart, ST. Francis, st.
Peters, St. Aloysius', Holy Name,
Holy Family, St. Patriek's and I'M
maculate Conception.
It's rather interesting to see
that the same old system IS
still going strong. We thought IT
might be interesting to find out
when the first grade school game
was played in the city and who
played il. Maybe someone knows?
II so let us know.

Boy Spends His Spare Hours
Reading To Blind Veterans

MALVERN, Pa.-(NC) - Twice
a week an 11-year-old Catholic
boy of this town takes bus to
Valley Forge Veterans Hospital
ten miles away, reads to blind vet
erans there, and then trudges or
thumbs his way back to his home.
On the outskirts of Paoli is the
Royer-Greaves School for the
Blind. 1t takes care of blind chill
dren who also have additional in
firmities. Eddie Dworchak met the
blind children and asked the
operator of the school what he
could do to help them He found
his services welcome and began
to assist the physical education
teacher. He now conducts three
groups of children, under super
vision, in indoor gym classes. He
also reads to the children. For his
birthday party he brought AZ of
them to his home.
This is the tip-off to the genius
of Eddie's understanding mother"
