"EUil OF Indecency''


The convention took cognizanee
of the tremendous volume" in the
sale of pornographic literature in
recent years and called upon Con-
gress as well as State legislatures
to enact adequate laws to combat
this evil of indecency."
The NCCM went on record in op-
position to Universal Military
Training and expressed the opinion
that the present Selective Service
legislation is a sufficient protec-
ton for the country.
Other resolutions treated of:
The Importance of coordinating
the activities of parents and facul-
ty members of Catholic schools in
every parish in the country be-
cause of the foreseeable increase
in the future enrollments of Catho-
lie schools.
Recognition of "a trend to place
religion in its proper place in the
nublic schools" as evidenced by the
New York State Board of Regents
in authorizing local school boards
to permit public school pupils to
open and close each school day
with brief prayer.
Urge NCCS Support
Continued support of the pro-
grams of the National Catholic
Community Service and the Edu-
cation and Youth Departments,
N.C.W.C., for preparing a pre-
induction training program for
high school and college youths
about to be inducted into the ma
tons armed forces.
Recognition that it sis impera-
tive" to improve State laws to pro-
tect labor and the consumer and a
declaration that national laws in
this field, "while still inadequate" I"
surpass State legislation.
A declaration strongly con-
demning" the Imprisonment of
news reporters "bent upon proper
duties of their profession" and pro-
testing the poisoning of those
fountheads of news which should
give forth clear and protective
truth"
Calling upon the NCCM mem
bers to actively participate in and
to inaugurate where necessary pro-
grams to secure job opportunities
"for all people" and to work in
parish, school, neighborhood and
home to break down discrimination
against and segregation of minori-
ty groups.

Call For Expansion

The delegates resolved shat
Catholic schools strengthen their
desire to know and to meet the
concrete needs of the community
and fully to prepare themselves
for the rapidly expanding school
population"
Convention participants heard
the Rev. William /. Cunningham
call for ''6-44 plan" of education,
reducing the number of elemen-
tary school years from eight to
six ''for the average student" The
University of Notre Dame pro-
fessor advocated such system for
about so per cent of the school
population, with more years of
schooling for the lower quarter of
students and fewer for the upper
quarter.
The reorganization would in
volve only problems of admins
tration," he said, would eliminate
wasted years" for the greater por-
ton of students, and would bring
the average student to completion
of his general education at the age
of 90 instead of %.

Mark Jubilee
of St. Thomas
Parish May Ii
Solemn Pontifical Mass,
Confirmation Planned /;
Church Is so Years Old

The golden jubilee of the found
ing of st. Thomas the Apostle Par
ish, East Fifth and Cassidy Ave
nues, Columbus, will be observed
Sunday May Ii.
Bishop Ready will be celebrant
of Solemn Pontifical Mass of
Thanksgiving at 10 OF ock, and
will administer the Sacrament of
Confirmation at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon.
The Rev. Harry Estadt, Pastor,
and members OF the parish have
been busy making preparations for
the festive occasion. Among the
arrangements is he publication of
souvenir booklet telling the his
tory of the parish and its accom-
plishments.
Since its establishment in 1902,
st. Thomas parish has shown steady
growth, but it has been in more
recent years that rapid expansion
has been noticed. During the past
four years alone. the school has
been enlarged the church extend
ed in The front and a new sacristy
added to rear, and a convent pur-
chased for the Dominican nuns
who teach in the school.
Former Mission area
Before the turn of the century,
a number of Catholic families lived
in the area east OF the present st.
Thomas church. Mass was offered
for them at regular intervals in
Taylor's Station, about two miles
east. Priests from the Cathedral
and st. Patricks s church took care
of the spiritual needs of the peo-
pie.
The building of steel plant at
Rarigville, now East Columbus,
brought about an increase of popu-
lation in the area. This made it
possible for the Catholic families
in Taylor Station, those living on
the surrounding farms, and those
in the growine East Columbus, to
form the nucleus of the little par
ish. The Rev. Andrew j. Johnson
was given the task of forming the
parish under the patronage of st.
Thomas. This was on May &c, 1900.
In 1901, Thomas d. Cassidy do
mated a piece of ground on the
northwest corner of East Fifth and
Cassidy avenues for the new
church. Work on the erection of
the brick structure, Gothic in de-
sign, began at once. The corner
stone was laid on April 6, 1912.
The following August the church
was dedicated by Bishop Henry
Moeller. Assisting were the Pastor
Father Johnson, and the Revs. AL
bert Reinhart, O.P., ]. d. Pender-
gast, O.P., Lucas Rath, C.PP.S., r.
A. McEachen and d. P. Quailey. The
choir from st. Patrick's Church
sang the Mass, and uniformed COM
panies of the Knights of st. John
and the Hibernian Rifles formed
a guard of honor for the Bishop. q
Still without a rectory. the little
parish undertook the building OF
the present spacious home in 1908,
completing il in 1904.

Asks Increase
OF Devotion To
God and Mary
Columbus Ordinary Speaks
AT Famed Pilgrimage In
City Of ST. Augustine
BY Jane Quinn

Especial to The Catholic TimeSl
ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA =
Like the shepherds and the ori.
ent kings, almost 1000 years ago,
we have come to a hallowed place
to find the Child with Mary, His
Mother and here to seek their
blessing" Bishop Michael ]. Ready
of Columbus declared as the pur-
pose of the pilgrimage of over
1000 prelates, clergy and laity of
Florida to st. Augustine's Mission
of Nombre de Dios and the Shrine
of Our Lady of La Leche on Low
Sunday afternoon.
Archbishop Joseph P. Hurley,
Bishop of the Diocese of St. Au-
gustine, gave Benediction at the
outdoor Mission Altar, following
Bishop Ready's sermon.
Earlier the Archbishop had led
the faithful accompanying the Most
Blessed Sacrament in solemn pub
lie procession through city streets
to Americas most sacred acre, the
site of the first permanent Catho-
lie mission and Our Lady's first
shrine in the United States.
Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J. Nc
Donough, of st. Augustine, carried
the Blessed Sacrament in the pill
grimage, and Sodality and school
children marched with the statue
of Our Lady of La Leche.
Largest In History
The Rev. John ]. Fitzpatrick, di-
rector of the Mission Shrine, intro
duced Bishop Ready, who gave the
sermon for this 22nd annual Low
Sunday pilgrimage to Americas
Oldest Mission. 1t was the largest
pilgrimage in the history of the
Mission. -l--.4
Proclaiming the need for "a
strong increase of devotion to God,
to Holy Mass and Holy Eucharist,
and to the Blessed Mother" Bishop
Ready said, ''These are the realities
which Nombre de Dios and La
Leche preach to us and to the
world. These are the realities
which we and the world most ur-
gently need in this present trou-
bled hour of human history"
He continued: ut is because of
the Child that we honor the Moth
err" stating that when the st. Au-
gustine Mission was new, there
we're voices raised in Europe pro-
claiming the Divinity of Christ but
discrediting the devotion always
paid in the Church to Mary, the
Mother of Christ"
ITO u.s." he declared, "who in
herit the glory of 20 centuries and
who accept without amazement
the active existence of a 4O0-year-
old institution on our shores, it
would be amusing, were it not also

Will Dedicate
Our Lady Of
Peace School

Bishop Ready will offer Mass at
$50 a. m, Sunday, April 27, in Our
Lady of Peace church, Columbus,
after which he will dedicate the
new grade school of the north end
parish.
The ceremonies will eliminate
more than six years of effort on
the part OF the pastor, the Rev.
George Foley, and the parishioners.
The parish was among the first
founded by Bishop Ready, being
formally erected on January II,
1916.
The cornerstone of the new
school was laid last June "a. The
building includes six classrooms,
four of which are being used this
year.
The new building is of one-story
brick construction, and faces on E.
Dominion boulevard. Ramsey and
Croce were the architects, and the
Lang construction company were
the builders.
Besides the six classrooms there
is an office and a teachers room
on the first floor. The basement
provides a cafeteria, meeting
room, kitchen, storage rooms and
a heating unit.
Four Dominican Sisters from St.
Mary of the Springs are in charge
of the school. There are 153 pupils
in eight grades.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1952-04-25
Modern Structure

The new school is made of red
brick with limestone trim. The
steel sash windows have block
glass, known as prismatic light di-
rectional, which cuts down the
glare of sunlight and eliminates
the need for shades.
Each classroom is equipped with
green chalk boards, display boards,
a wardrobe for clothing, germicidal
lamps, and fluorescent lighting.
The floors are covered with asphalt
tile, while the ceilings are covered
with acoustical material.
There is little plaster in the
building, since painted masonry
blocks make up the walls. The
comparatively little woodwork in
the building is of oak.
The old frame school building
was used last fall as school began.
Glasses were first held in the base
ment of the new building in No
vember. In December the class
rooms were used for the first time.
Finishing touches on the building
were not completed until after the

sent. But Mr.. Churchill voiced

concern that Britain might not
be told In advance, in q recent
speech pointing out that an Ameri-
can atomic attack from the East
Anglia air bases would put vul-

On the American side, Presi-
dent Truman wants to see If there
is any chance Of Britain cancel
ing her recognition Of Communist
China. American officials now are
not sure how far Mr.. Churchills
Conservative government is COM
mitted to the recognition policy of
England's previous Labor govern
ment.
MIR. Truman will explain to the
Prime Minister that the United
States is not going to change its
policy of not recognizing the
Communist regime in Peiping. An
immediate change by the British
is not expected. but some officials
here hope the way may be cleared
for bringing the British and
American positions closer together
