good ones still in that block, was
finished. The Jacksons and their
three little daughters moved in
without incident.
An eye witness account of what
happened later was sent to me
some time ago after the present
Prospect Park association got
some national publicity.
That organization was fifty
years younger than it is now. Its
members were representative of
the people that lived there-pio-
neers in business, in the Univer-
sity and in the trades even as
they are today.
Upon the shoulders Of the as
ISOLATION was laid the responsible
ity Of "doing something about the
Jacksons." What to do?
Finally a plan was evolved. A
delegation would call and convince
the intruders that their presence
was illegal. The papers were
drawn and the designated eve
ming came.
They started out from the as
sociation room, an upstairs one
in the old wooden building on
University and Bedford, which
was the predecessor to the pre-
sent one. One of the earliest resi-
dents Of Prospect Park and an
alternate named Crane, who lived
on Seymour, and two deputies,
set out carrying lanterns the
streets were badly lighted with
gasoline lamps, some of them be-
ing only COW paths.
Arriving, the two younger men
sat down on a grassy bank across
the street from their destination
and the two older figures proceed
ed, the lantern bObbing as they
made their way over the still un-
graded yard, and up the dark
steps and porch. They raped.
Mr.. Jackson came outside and
closed the door. He was mild and
courteous and listened to what
they had to say, which included
the often-repeated "therefores''
and "whereases" of the document
which Mr.. Crane had prepared and
was reading, his assistant holding
the Pickering lantern over his
shoulders so that he might see.
The door burst open and in the
streaming light stood Mrs. Jack
son, shouldering a broom. Her
black eyes burned with anger, an
ger formed from smouldering re-
sentiment against persecution and
intolerance-now flaming from
irritation at her husbands inabil-
ity to meet this new menace.
She made a flail-like gesture
with the broom and stepped off
the threshold and delivered an ex-
plosIve and violently worded in

The unresolved battle over whether people
want governmental controls may reach some kind of
. solution within the next few weeks. Some 1900
communities through their governing bodies must
decide before September 30 one phase of the de
bated question whether or not they want contin-
uance of rent controls.
on June 80, the Congress passed the Defense
Production Act Amendments of 1852 which ex-
tended the authority for rent stabilzaton for three
months Congress avoided taking responsibility
itself for continuing controls by passing the decision
on to the local community. The governing body, us.
uay the City Council of each community must
declare that substantial shortage of housing &C
comm0dstons exists which requires the continuance
or Federal control before the extender becomes
valid II must take positive action for If it fails to
act rent controls cease for that community on
September 30. To date, two communities, Newark and
Washington Court House in the Diocese of Column
bus have extended controls In the extender is
not approved, controls may be retained by having
the area classified as critical defense area by
Federal action This will be attempted in some com
munities should Council fail to act
There is a tendency on the part OF some to con
demn all controls unwarranted interference
on the part OF government. Interference is un-
warranted l. the market process through supply
and demand operates equtably for all and works
no hardship either buyer or seller. In abnormal
situations such arise out Of war, demand may
so outstrip supply that if the market operates
hndered prices will 60 high that the consumer
and the common good will suffer real injustice
Controls cannot overcome every inequity but they
will protect the great majority. This the just
flcation for price controls of the past war.
There is no question but that there was general
shortage of housing during and after the last war
which justified controls According to the 1850 Cen

Schooling for
Social Contacts"

This is the time of year when some parents de
eide where 10 send their children to school. For
fathers and mothers IT is just mat
ter of fulfilling the law that children under
n certain age must be in school. For others
II is matter of routine sending their child
10 the proper public school or in the case of Ca
thoics to the parochial school of their parish.
But there are parents who feel that tn ar
child is ripe for something special Hence they look
for select" school Not all parents enjoy such
luxury if II can be called that
II is appropriate here TO give some thought TO
the dnty in conscience which all Catholic parents
have They know that their first obligation is to
their children in the fear and love of God. making
as sure as possible that their sons and daughters
have every safeguard in their vocation to be saints
Now there may be many reasons used by some par
ents for not selecting Catholic school Bu- none
Of them arc valid in the face OF this solemn obliga
tion Most of them not valid in the face of facts
Take, for instance the one that some parents ad
vance saying that they wish To send their child
to school where he will make proper social con
facts which will be invaluable later in professional
or business life. Now this is plain nonsense
II would be interesting to know how many sue
eessful men have had TO rely social contacts made
In school days TO establish themselves successfully
II ones training character and personality are of
such instability that he needs contacts, then II would
not be foolhardy to assume that his success would
be shortlyed When these people speak Of social
contacts" they mean simply the socially prominent
people with whom they aspire to be friendly
terms
If IL is proper contacts that Catholic parent
wishes to make for his child, then he should be
thinking Of the Divine Master Himself How often
does the child come in contact with his Redeemer
in school where there are social contacts" And
If the child turns his back upon his Church and his
God. could il not be expected that his character Is
such that he would also turn his back upon some
fundamental principle Of deceny? Can traitor
10 God always be loyal 10 others and to himself?
Or Is the area of social contacts" made up of this
sort Of people? We believe not But do believe
that good people of social standing, people Of re
snecability are not fooled by those who would
send their children 10 particular school Just be-
cause Of social contacts. For Catholic students, let
the contacts he with God first of all then with
Christian learning and culture When his educa
ton is completed in this fashion, he will be welcome
in the best circles, and We do best
