Services.
The second, an evening meeting,
was held at Holy Redeemer Parish
Hall at Portsmouth and was attend

The Rev. William Kappes, Di-

sided at both meetings.
Doubled Population
Father Kappes pointed out that
the total population in the four
counties surrounding the plant site
is 100000, which is expected to
double. OF the present population,
he said, five per cent is Catholic.
At present there are 10 parishes
located in the area, two each at
Portsmouth and Chillicothe, one
each at West Portsmouth, New Bos-
ton, Wheelersburg, Jackson, Wells
ton, otway and Pond Creek. In ad-
dition, mission cared for from
st. Mary's parish, Chillicothe, is
the only Catholic Church in Pike
County, where the plant is situat-
ed.
Catholic High schools, Father
Kappes continued, are located at
Chillicothe and Portsmouth, and in
the parish at Wellston. Mercy Ho-
pital and Nurses School conducted
by the Sisters of st. Francis from
Rochester, Minnesota, are situated

"At the same time, however, we
cannot, in conscience, stand aside
and be completely obliviouS TO the
dreadful tortures imposed upon so
many good people for no other
reason than that they worshipped
God or were His servants"
Mr.. Campbell said some persons
he had talked to had indicated that
if Stain was not content with
blood money to ransom the prison
ers in the slave camps, they would
be prepared to offer themselves as
substitutes for the unfortunates.
1T would be surprising" the Ca
tholic layman declared, "how many
volunteers would come forward in
such great cause"

Scots Catholics Will Ransom
Polish Mothers And Children

EDINBURGH, Scotland, --lNC)-
A proposal was made here to use
a fund of $4,000, intended for a
charitable project in Poland to
purchase instead the release of
Polish mothers and their children
from slave camps in Soviet Russia.
The proposal was made by John
j. Campbell, Glasgow Catholic
lawyer, at the annual general meet
ing of the Scottish Polish Society,
of which he is president. The fund
was the Sikorski Memorial Fund
started before Poland became COM
munist, to build a wing to a child
ren'S hospital in Warsaw
IF / were the sole trustee and
had sole discretion about the dis
posal of the Fund" Mr.. Campbell
said, Il would go to London and
offer the whole sum to Andrei
Gromyko, the Russian ambassador,
on condition that he release an
agreed number of Polish mothers
and their children from the slave
camps in Russia.
"The money could not be more
usefully employed. 1t would be
gesture to the Polish nation that
we have not forgotten their plight.
Mr.. Campbell, who sponsored
throughout 1852 monthly Novena
of Masses for Christian victims of
communist persecution and for the
speedy conversion of Russia'S
rulers, appealed to free Christians
to take an interest in the fate of
their suffering brethren behind the
Iron Curtain.

In commencing the interests of
the Society to the clergy and peo-
pie of the Diocese, the Bishop re-
minded all present that the more
generously we serve Christ, the
more generous He will be to us.
Serving the Church in her world
