most successful series of reunion
activities this week in the history
of the ploular organization.

the first ami second reunions of
the classes of 1912 and 1882. re-
spectively, was held Monday

ium. In addition to the senior and
junior classes, faculty members

number of graduates-many dat
ing back to the early classes of
the school, were present at this
special occasion.
Rev. Richard DeVeaux deliver
ed the principal address in behalf
of the class of 1912. Rev. DeVeaux
spoke on the subject: can Alum
nus Reflects and Projects" Well
prepared and eloquently deliver
ed, the address was a master
piece for the srcasion.
Manatee Bannerman, executive
secretary of the Carver Branch
of the YMCA spoke in behalf OF
the class of 1882. Bannerman used
as his subject: "Where Shall You
Serve" and gave some common

large graduating class in their
future life. Other traditional re-

effectively.
Among highlights of the days
activities was the announcement
that Miss Irene Burns, consci-
entious member of the gradual
ing class, and daughter Of Rev.

student selected to receive the
alumni annual scholarship award.
Another highlight was evidenced
during the program when a
special tribute was rendered to
Mr.. and Mrs. Leon Mccartney of
327 NV 18th street. The award
was in recognition that despite
all hardships and handicaps they
succeeded in educating all of their
eight children and seeing to it
that each one finished high school
with a commendable record. The
last of the eight Mccartney child
rem, Ralph, graduated Tues
day night from Booker T. Wash

Speaking for myself" COM
mented Father Flick, who is editor
of The Josephinum Review, Il
must say that she Miss GraeD
shook my faith-and use the
word loosely-in Therese Neu-
mann, not because she proves the
impossibility of the supernatural,
but because she throws at least
some small doubt on every aspect
of the KonnerSreuth story"
He called attention to the fact
that Hilda Graefs book is ''the
first work in English to challenge
the general view that Therese Neu-
mann is essentially living saint
highly favored by Almighty God. !"
Father Flick declared that Miss
Graef has offered possible natural
explanations for Therese'S visions,
cures, Stigmata, and knowledge of
hidden things-and, | believe, with
a certain degree of success" He be-

Mother, 81, Gives
Birth To No. 8 By
.Caesarian Section

CLEVELAND - (NC) I've al
ways hoped for large family and
Pm deepful grateful that God has
given me the children.
Mrs. Thomas Murray, 81, of sub
urban Columbia Station, made this
observation as she cuddled close
her eighth child, Catherine, in st.
Ann Hospital here. There was
quite a hub-bub about the hospital
when Catherine was born-a birth
which established a hospital rec
ord
Mrs. Murray gave all the credit
to DR.. Edward P. Monaghan, who
brought her seven other children
into the world; to Sister Patrick,
who has been her nurse at each
birth, and to st. Gerard Majella,
patron of mothers, to whom she
has special devotion.
Mrs. Murray said that with each
new child, the family has gained in
blessings, both material and Splr-
itual. Since the birth of the first
child, Donald, IS years ago, the
Murrays have outgrown city
apartment and now have an addi-
tion on the suburban home.
But the reason for all the hub
bub when Catherine was born is
that all of Mrs. Murray's children
have been delivered through Cae-
sarian section operations 1t was
one time thought that mother
could not give birth to more than
three children successfully by Cae-
sarian section. In recent years as
many as nine Caesarian sections
have been performed successfully
on one patient.

In his review, Father Flick stress
ed the general attitude of Therese
toward the Passion of Our Lord. Ac-
cording to Miss Graef's evidence.
what causes Therese the greatest
pain is that she cannot help the
Saviour.
miss Graef points out" said
Father Flick, "and rightly, be-
lieve, that the saints talk an en-
tirely different language. What
causes them the greatest pain is.
not that they are unable to stop
the Redemption, but that they
themselves, by their sins, are re-
sponsible for His sufferings and
death. Now Miss Graef has read
all the available Konnersreuth
literature, and never have any of
Therese's biographers noted that
she expresses contrition for her
own sins, or looks upon them as
partially responsible for Christ's
sufferings. This, too, is strange,
and not at all in keeping with the
attitude of men and women whom
the Church has raised to the honor
of her altsrs."
Father Flick cited the warning
of Pope Benedict XIV in such
cases Ito observe all the facts that
might seem abnormal and dis
concerting, and to seek perSever-
ingly for natural origin and ex-
PLANTATION"
He also recalled that last year
Monsignor Alfredo Ottaviani, AS
SCISSOR of the Holy Office in Rome.
officially warned Catholics against
a too-ready acceptance of appari-
tons and other miraculous" hap
penlngS, so-called.
'The Church has made no of.
ficial statement" he concluded,
land is not likely to do so. The
argument is wide open-and il
will probably stay that way. But
am sure it is a good thing TO
have that argument; it's good
thing to hear both sides of a
question that up to this time has
known only well publicized en-
thusiaSm."

Holy Enough?
OF greater Importance, accord
ing to Father Flick, is the evidence
Hilda Graef sets forth TO show that
Therese Neumann has not attain
ed the degree of sanctity which
might be expected of one who is
hailed as the greatest living
miracle"
He quoted Miss Graefs judg.
ment that Therese seems to be
lacking in humility, the funda-
mental virtue of the spiritual life"
Two other well-established es-
sentialS of the spiritual life"
Father Flick went on, "are penance
and prayer. Again she does not
practice penance and prayer to
the degree necessary for outstand-
ing sanctity."
He cited Miss Graef's state.
ments that Therese Neumann is
talkative, that she likes to visit
friends and relatives and chat
and joke with those of her visitors
whom she happens to like: "in other
words, that she does not seem TO
practice the modification of sill
ence."

County Woodland
Owners Participate
In State Program

In recent Federal report, Mary
land was cited as one of three
Northeastern States leading t h e
list in technical services rendered
the private woodland owner by the
Department of Forests and Parks.
Issued by the United States For
est Service, the report disclosed
that Maryland's State Foresters had
inspected and marked over 6,717,-
900 board feet of timber for cut
ting by landowners during the pc
Rod from July l to December l,
1851.
This record was bested only by
New York State and Virginia.
However, both of these states have
larger land areas in timber than
does Maryland.
To the Maryland landowner, the
timber marked by the Department
of Forests and Parks represents
an approximate value of S146,OOO.
Montgomery County Woodland
owners have taken full advantage
of this timber marking program as
offered by the Department of For
ests and Parks. The District For
ester's Office, at Laurel has re-
ported that approximately SO per
cent of the timber marked in the
Laurel District occurred in Mont
gomery County. About 2,227,O0O
board feet of timber had b n
marked by department foresters in
these seven southern counties.
Management plans were also pre-
pared for an additional 5,162 acres
of woodland.
In the sam period 1911 600
board feet of standing timber, pro-
ducing a return of $33,753 to the
woodland owners had been sold to
timber operators.
This marking service is available
to private woodland owners who
wish to keep their forests in con-
tinual timber production. For. fur
ther information contact the Dis
trict Forester's Office, SOB Main
Street, Laurel.
