Anti-Bingo Campaign

Here In Ohio we have seen and experienced the
anti-bingo campaign to the fullest OF course il was
labeled an anti-gambing crusade but the result
desired seemed TO be the church bingo parties The
drive against bingo has been on nation wide basis
For some years the forces against ii have been we'll
organized But IL was only recently that the New
York police force took up the cry against bngo.
There. too ii is called gambling with the infer
ence that any and all gambling is sinful
The anti -bingo crusaders in New York are like
they are in Ohio The .Net0 York Times said editor
tally. We hope Commissioner Monaghan makes
himself so obnoxious enforcing the gambling laws
that the public opinion finally wakes up to the fact
that these laws need changing II Is curious cir
cumstance that a citizen can. 90 to the track and,
within that fenced enclosure place bet horse
race legally and with the blessing OF the state. but
that same citizen taking part in illegal pastime
II he goes to a church hall and INDUCES in a social
flutter with a drawn card that cost him, perhaps,
\ dollar-with a good share of the proceeds going
10 charity or church purposes The inconsistency
that permits the state to take S279 595472 in rev.
enues in eleven years from parimutue gambling at
The tracks while at the time forbidding bngo,
is ridiculously apparent"
That same can be sad in Ohio, and around Co
lumbus Perhaps some OF Mayor Rhodes people
who went so far as to infiltrae private church
bingo game and then bring the offenders before the
law could be induced TO see the inconsistency OF the
situation AT any rate one cannot help but wonder
what has happened 10 all the crusaders against
church bingo now that il has been stopped Aren't
they interested in the real highStake gambling
al the race tracks OF Ohio? OF course this latter
brings in taxes to the powers that be, while church
hingo parties did not The situation is most curious

United Appeals

This week marks the beginning of the United
Appeals drive which will benefit some 10 organizs-
zations in the community This is the second year
these organizations have agreed to combine forces
and make just general appeal for funds during
the year.
The community should need no added incentive
beyond the words of Christ, Whatsoever you do
unto one of these. My least brethren you do unto
Me-" to insure hearty and adequate response
to this appeal for funds To this intent it is well to
recall the real meaning of the word Charity
love and ultimately love of Christ
II is the love of Christ in the person
of suffering fellow man which should motivate
our generosity in this campaign. As Bishop Sheen
said recently I'VE need the poor. more than the
poor need usi"
This United Appeal is unique appeal and it
demands unique response. Used to number of
single appeals for funds throughout the year we
must keep in mind that this campaign is taking the
place of all of them and that we have only this
one chance to contribute to their worthy causes.

For World Peace

This month The Diocese of Columbus joins with
Catholics throughout the world in mighty prayer
crusade to Our Blessed Mother. Foremost in the
minds and hearts OF all will be petitions for peace
throughout the world And 10 whom might these
suppcations be better addressed than to the Virgin
Mary, the Queen OF Peace
While the Rosary is recited 10y Catholics for
any number OF intentions, its early history bears out
what an admirable instrument 1t is IN the hands of
devoted child OF Mary m the interests OF peace.
Tradition has 1t that the Rosary the vic
torious means used by ST Dominic IN combating
the Albigensian hereucs, bringing about their ati-
mate defeat IN the battle OF Muret in 1918 The
feast OF the Holy Rosary established by Pope
St Plus because OF the signal victory by
Don John oil Austria over the Turkish fleet at Le-
parto Again on the occasion OF an important vic.
tory for Christianity over the Turks IN Hungary,
the feast Of the Holy Rosary was extended 10 The
Universal Church.
These victories were taken by the Popes as the
special occasions Of honoring the Rosary because
the Ponffs laid these victories directly to the rcc
tation of the Rosary
In our present time, the world is again faced
with crisis The Church is suffering vide,
spread persecution than ever before. Free coun-
tries are engaged in localized wars which daily
threaten 10 spread and become a general conflict.
There can be compromise between the we'll de.
fined forces OF the free world and Communism.
With this in mind Bishop Ready noted in his
letter TO the Diocese last week that the urgency
of establishing peace among nations and within the
boundaries Of individual states grows daily stronger
There is no denying my beloved Brethren that
mere human efforts have proved incapable Of
accomplishing this cherished dream OF people ev
erywhere. There is one power that can bring peace
IN time
would have US remember that the battle is in
particular way battle He would have bt
aware Of our obligation to the Body of Christ or
EARTH" and be "unceasing in our prayers through

friendly review, Mr.. Hoover is
a rugged individualist and proud

This means. among other
things, that the program of social
reconstruction advocated in the
papal encyclicsis-the so-called
Industry Council Plan-is ana
thema TO Mr.. Hoover, While he
does not specifically mention the
Industry Council Plan, he makes
it abundantly clear that, in his
opinion, any organized system of
regulating economic competition
in the interest of the common
good is by definition deadly
form of socialism or fascism.
There is no middle ground, he
says, between the old-style eco
nomic individualism and collecti-
yISm.
Mr.. Hoover is entitled to his
opinion, but Catholic readers of
his autobiography will want to
remember the old-style free
competition as this term is un-
derstood by Hoover is explicitly
condemned in the social encyclic-
ais of recent popes. They will
also want TO remember that
Pope Plus XII recently charac-
terized the Catholic philosophy
of social reconstruction as "a
position midway between the er.
rors of liberalism rugged indi-

MIR. Hooyer's palnstaking de
tense of his own presidential adj
ministration would have been
more convincing, to this review

succeeding administrations and
his unfriendly references to the
American labor movement we're
less superficial in content, less
partisan in tone.

The Crime Record

Director / Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation has released statement indicating
the steady increase of crime in the United States II
is expected that the number of major crimes in the
nation during the next year will reach the as
founding total of over two million. This would
mean that one out of about every seventyfiye per-
sons would he guilty of some serious offense
against the law
Possibly the growth in population would some
what reduce Mr. Hoover's announced ratio of in
crease in crime Nevertheless the situation is still
alarmngly bad and getting worse. The solution?
Increased and better methods of detection and law
enforcement some may say No doubt this will
help Others may say that some psychiatric and
educational treatment of criminals to prevent repet
ton Of their crimes may help. II is admittedly
not easy 10 turn criminals into honest men, and es
pecially so in overcrowded prisons with wardens
who do not and will not understand the men
OF course there is the remedy of education, and
the homes churches and schools appealed 10
Parental delinquency is probably of the great
factors Broken homes, permitted to become so
by lax and easy divorce laws, is one important con
tributing force The lack Of discipline in the homes
and schools is another Young people must be
taught to control the emotions if not the emotions
will carry them away into crime But this is the mod
ern era when children must be caioled into doing
things which they should do One must not discip-
line them. With confused parents, confused world
about them il is no wonder that the young people
are confused.
II is about time that more and more people come
Ia see that love OF God and His aboundng grace
is the answer to all crime II does not love God
he cannot love his neiRhbor Without the help OF
His sustaining grace there is no possibility of keep
ing the path of virtue. And there is true fol-
lowing OF Christ without taking up His cross and
carrying II; in other words, progress IN goodness
comes with practice OF selfdenal with selfcontrol
and proper discipline A sincere return to hum
BILE belief in God and loving obedience TO His
Law will alone solve the crime problem
