a delight to home cooks. Scarcely
a minute, botanically speaking,
until "red carrot" had pale heart
on the skids.
Potatoes are being packaged
to do specific cooking jobs. to
bake, boil or fry. Researchers at
New York State College of
Agriculture, Cornell University,
found the way to judge a potato
from the culinary angle. Will it
bake fluffy. boil tender and not
break up in the pot? Will it fry
without soaking fat? The prin-
ciple on which such judgment is
based is that the meatiest pota-
toes which are best for baking
have a higher specific gravity
and so sink in a salt solution
while the lighter brothers float.
Miniatures are high style.

Even the outsize baking potato

ling of the housewife. The seven

for our salvation :. for her init
mate association with the all-holy
Son of God. for her own holiness.
But, you may say = why should
we pray to Mary when we Can pray
directly to God, as the Scriptures
command? The answer is that
Catholics do pray to God and they
seek from him grace and forgive
nesS-for these are blessings which
only God can grant. But there is
no law of God which commands
us, when we go TO Him in prayer
:. that we must go alone.
Like St. Paul, we believe in
praying for Others and having
Others pray for us. And whose
prayers could find greater favor
, in the sight of God than those of
the Mother of His Divine Son?
These are the chief reasons for
the world wide Catholic devotion
to the Blessed Virgin. These are
the reasons why millions of peo-
pie, in every land and every Ian
guage, are heard to pray:
Hail, Mary, full of grace! the
Lord is with thee; blessed art thou
amongst women; and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus -"
Evening star., 1951-08-26

You may not approve of the
age-old Catholic devotion to the
Blessed Virgin.
Perhap you have heard - and
believed = that this is "un-Scrip-
tural". that Catholics are trying
to establish Mary as a divine per-
son equal in power to God.
But if you will look at the facts,
you will see that these things are
not true =. and you will realize
that Mary can exert wonderful
influence in your personal life.
Itcertainly is not 'un-Scriptural"
to recognize that Mary is the
Mother of Jesus Christ. If we are
to be truly "Scriptural," we must
further acknowledge that Christ is
the eternal Son of the eternal
Father = Divine Person who as
sumed human nature like ours
in all things except sin. And while
Mary did not give Jesus His
divine nature, the Savior was her
Son. as truly as anyone is the
son of his own mother.
In view of these truths, how can
anyone look upon Mary as just
another woman, or just another
mother? Why should we hesitate
to honor one whom God so great
ly honored. and upon whom He
conferred a surprising holiness
and complete freedom from sin?
Why should we believe that one
so close to the Son of God in his
earthly life is not close and dear
to Him in His eternal Kingdom?
1t is erroneous, of course, to
think that Catholics worship Mary
as a divine person. But we do love
and venerate her for the unique
place she occupies in Gods plan

Top Federal Officials
.Aqree on Indefinite
Continuance Of ECA
BY the Asseciated Press

/ Top Government officials have
reached general agreement thai
the Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration should be continued
indefinitely as the agency tC
handle this country's foreign eco
nomic operations abroad. 1t is
now scheduled to be disbanded
with the end of the Marshall Plan
in Europe in 1852.
The agreement was described by
informed administration officials
today as part of a deal by which
the State Department will have
full col troll over policy relating to
foreign economic operations and
its Ambassadors abroad will have
final authority over all missions in
the countries where they are sta
toned.
Congress will have the final say
on continuance of ECA, but ad-
ministration leaders expect ap-
proval of their plans.
Two Main Reasons.
They are prepared to advance
two main reasons for keeping the
Organization alive:
l. A need to continue economic
assistance to European countries
beyond 1852, not for reconstruc-
ton purposes as was true under
the Marshall Plan, but for military
production.
2. A need to carry on economic
aid programs in such non-Euro-
pean countries as the Philippines
Indonesia and Formosa. The ECA
is already running these opera
tions.
The whole issue will come to a
head in Congress when President
Truman details his proposal fol
an $11 billion foreign aid pro-
gram covering military assistance
various types of economic help
and the so-called Point 4 program
for building up underdeveloped
areas in Asia and Africa.
The new foreign aid legislation
for the fiscal year beginning July
l. will go to Congress around mid
April. Approximately 10 per cent
of the total to be asked. or about
ST billion, will be for arms aid to
Western Europe, Greece. Turkey
and Far Eastern nations. The
rest will be for various kinds of
economic assistance. mostly de-
signed to aid Allied military pro-
duction or to stimulate the output
of strategic raw materials.

weeks of bureaucratic battling
over which agency would rur
what program and whether The
State Department should take
over the economic operation OF
whether some new organization
should be created.
Several issues in the dispute
are still unresolved.

sition that his department must
