 CIVIL DEFENSE WORKERS

It will become necessary tor certain Civil Defense staff mem bers and volunteer workers in Alaska to make application for Coast Guard Port $ e curit y Cards. the Territorial Depart mcnt of Civil Defense revealed recently.
 Only those Civil Defense workers whose d Il i e s bring them in direct contact with the waterfront shall apply.
 The Port Security program has been operating in the States for over a year and is merely extending the Card system to include the Territory. For the present it is only necessary to show identification at military ports or when a ship contains military cargo. In event of hos tilitieS, all ports would come under the Act.

for a Son, or difficult for God
to perform?
Q. Since Professionalism and
Catholicism differ as to 1uhnt the
Bible means IN many cases, icho
Is to say 10hich is right?
A. Not only do Protestants
and Catholics differ as to inter-
probation, but Protestant sects
differ among themselves. The
theory of private Interpretation,
by which each man expects Gods
guidance to secure the correct
meaning, is weak in this pre-
else point. Using private inter.
probation there can be no Ger.
tainty, for as st. Peter wrote,
speaking of st. Paul's epistles:
In these epistles there are Ger.
tain things difficult to under
stand, which the unlearned and
the unstable distort, just as they
do the rest of the Scriptures
also to their own destruction"
The Catholic Church teaches that
the Scriptures are the Word of
God, inspired by God, but need
ing a Living Teacher to explain
their meaning and keep us from
error in interpreting them. In
many places the Scriptures
themselves refer to this extra
Scriptural guidance. (Acts $3.50,
81; John 1920, 21:25; 2 Thess.
2:14)
@. Why t0uS knowledge of Fd.
TINA so long delayed?
A. The apparition of Our Lady
at Fatima in 1917 had to pass
the test of all private revela.
tons. The devotion to Our Lady
which followed from it is gen.
orally considered to have trans
formed Portugal, and the Bish-
ops of the Land publicly pledged
themselves thanksgiving to her
in 1886. It's spread to the whole
world followed the proofs of its
genuineness.
@. When may priest ddn1trar
lister the Sacrament of Conftr
nation?
A. Since January l, 1947, pas
tors have been authorized to act
as extraordinary ministers of the
Sacrament. This power is to be
used only for those in their par
ish who are in danger of death
from sickness, accident or old
age. In missionary lands it has
been the custom for many years
for the Holy Father to grant
priests the right to administer it.
Most priests of the Oriental
Church have this privilege, and
it is usually administered to ir1-
fants Immediately after baptism.

WASHINCTON LETTER

WASHINGTON - Those ia
miliar-or claiming TO be famiI-
iar-with postwar conditions in
Western Europe have often view
ed with alarm what they de-
scribe as the indifference, even
caliousness, of the young gener-
alton toward the burning prob
lens of their time and of their
country.
II is said that particularly in
war-ravaged countries like Italy,
France and Germany, where
physical destruction, political up
heavals and foreign occupation
combined to create an utterly
confused situation, the young
generation either seeks forget
fulness in gross materialistic
pleasures or engages in a kind
of romantic "escaplsm' from
grim reality.
No doubt such observations
contain a large element of truth
although il is worthwhile re
calling that the problem of the
young generation is by no means
confined to a few countries of
Europe but is equally pressing
throughout the whole western
world. And those who follow af-
fairs in communlst.ruled coun-
tries have noted there, too, grave
concern over the attitude of
young people who either don't
care" or are not docile enough.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1952-11-21

All this is fairly we'll known.
But there are other aspects of
the situation that are largely dis-s
regarded, although they could
dispel some of the gloom that is
fashionable when elders discuss
the young generation. One of
these hopeful aspects, so far as
western Europe is concerned, is
the fact that the young genera
tion itself is increasingly engag-
ed IN an effort TO survey its own
situation, to locate its place and
responsibility in the scheme Of
things and to search for the road
to the open.
A striking testimony to these
efforts is the report, just receiv-
ed here, of study meeting held
earlier this year in Niederpoeck-
ing, Germany, on the theme.
THE Young Generation of the
West-A Lost Generation2" The
meeting, which was arranged by
the Bureau for Cultural Rela-

The Pontiff's Words
On Sports

The fall of the year seems to be the time when
sports take on much greater importance and
command the attention Of almost the whole popu-
lace in America II is the time of the World Series

grams and of later years professional football takes
the attention of growing multitude of fans, This
is the time OF the year especially when the sports
news receives the headlines of the front page Of
many daily newspapers indicating the great popu
larity and the importance of this activity IN the
American scene.
II would seem, therefore, that the words of the
Holy Father Pope Plus XII, addressed TO an Italian
national congress on the educational and hygenle
problems of sports are most timely. His words give
to those responsible in the field of sports proper
ideals and principles with which to measure the
value of all sports activities The overall principle
as enunciaed by the Pope is that only those sports
which serve mans soul and bring him closer to
God can be approved.
Among the principles given by His Holiness
