 Dr. and Mrs. Louis Fisher, for merly~ of Portland, Ore, arrived in Kotzebue recently with Dr. R. M. Mackenzie, dental director for the Alaska Native Service. The Fishers are stationed in Kotzebue for the opening of a permanent dental clinic for this area, as part of the expansion in the ANS oral health program. This is the third clinic. opened since November.
 Dr Fishers territory embraces all the villages of the Arctic, in cluding Barrow, and all those south of Kotzebue which are not included in the Bethel district, covering the same area as the medical services originating from the Kotzebue ANS Hospital.
 After several days in the will lage, Dr. Mackenzie was flown 10 Barrow by Pete Peterson on a field trip. Immediately after this Pete flew three carpenters from Shungnak to Naknek where they will work on the new ANS Hos pital at Kanakanak. Carroll J. Hughes, teacher and assistant at Shungnak, for the past several years, is enroute to Kanakanak as construction foreman on the same project.
 John Cooley, head of the Alas ka Road Commission for the Sec ond Division, Capt. Hunter C.. Harvison, newly appointed Army instructor for the National Guard in this area, Alaska Linck of Pan American and Kay Kennedy of the News Miner, both of Fair banks, were guests at the last Arctic Circle Chamber of Com merce meeting where the main topic was the distressing road situation in Kotzebue.
 Major Cooley was helpful in making road survey of the will lage in company with Frank Whaley and Andy Anderson. No funds have ever been allot- ted for road work north of the Arctic Circle since the days of CCC, and the Chamber is making every effort to secure recognition and consideration in future road planning. An important feature of road planning is extension of a road beyond the CAA to Sadie Creek for water supplies. The village is entirely dependent upon catching rain water for drinking and cooking purposes during the summer months, except for Noa- talk River water, which is brought into Kotzebue in meager quanti- ties by boat.
 Other Chamber topics covered cleanup week and reports from those in charge of the big Fourth of July celebration. By a slight margin the members voted for universal military training in re- sponse to a request for a vote on this vital question from each Cha ororhor 1uhich ic o rnorotor o%

WINNIPEG, Man.. (P) - A Winnipeg bound Greyhound bus plowed into halted semi-trailer transport truck just before dawn Thursday killing eight persons and injuring 20 others, some ser iously.
 The big bus, sheared open like a tin can, spewed dead and in- iured on the highway. Passen- gers in the first half-dozen rows of seats took the terrific impact.

 Mrs. C. Buchanan and children have returned to KotZebue after almost years stay in the States. MT. Buchanan, pastor of the Pentecostal Mission, is flying his plane in and will arrive shortly. MT. and Mrs. Glenn Lawrence, who have acted as missionaries during MT. Buchanan's absence, are leaving shortly for Nenana where MT. Lawrence will take over the church there.

The white whales are very much in evidence and the hunters are returning with many carcasses. These are cut in strips for drying, with blubber removed for rendering the oil. Little of the animal is discarded, even the tendons being pulled for scarce SineW.

the home must adopt some of the
liturgical functions of the Church.
THE Church has order and is
systematic She believes in the au-
thority Of God and obedience TO
Him. These same qualities must
form the spirit of the home.
"The Church breaches and prac-
tices the necessity of self-restraint,
How necessary is this in the life
of a home!"
Bishop Bartholome traced other
parallels between the life of the
Church and the life of the Chris
tian family:
Christian charity is the motiva-
tion behind all the actions of the
Church. SO the love of God and
neighbor must dominate the lives
of the people in a home.
"The Church loves and strives
for peace, and thus the flag of
Christian peace must fly over ev-
cry Christian home. The Church
exalts motherhood in the person
of Mary, and she herself is called
mother. The center of the Chris
tian home must be the mother, en-.
dowed with the qualities and phil
osophy of Christ and the Church. -
He counseled that "the mother
and father must be holy as is the
Church. They must be kind, pa
tient, and forgiving as is the
Church. The mother must always
hold up high the torch of hope to
her family as does the Church.
She must be a refuge of sinners, a
comforter of the afflicted, a con,
stant source of encouragement ev.

round her.
"Such is Holy Mother Church

seems the weakest, hopeful when
all seem to despair, clearer and
more tenacious in her purpose
when confusion surrounds her or
all sides.
Indeed the home must be a lit
tie church, for the existence oi
Christianity, the dignity of the
home, and the very future of Amer
lea depend on the holiness anc

Mr.. Blanshard's accusations, the
American Hierarchy has never op-

The fact that some Popes and
other Catholics" he continues,
'have condemned policies that
were called separation of church

support the false claim that the

said.

prisoner replied. Our faith is
strong. We know now why we are

The Franciscan Missionaries of
Mary formerly worked in the
Wanhsien diocese in SzechWan
province. They are Mother Notre
Dame du Cenacle Ravel, 81, ply
sician and surgeon from Paris;
Mother Marie Alphonsina De Bogt,

Mother Paule Alix Audet, 33, of

The nuns had been in prison
since April, 1851. Mother Alphon-
sina, the superior, was charged
with responsibility for the deaths
of 5000 people recorded at st.
Joseph's hospital in Tahsien during
the past 40 years.
During their Imprisonment the
nuns were allowed no exercise, CIV
en- only two bowls of rice day for
food. one glass of water each for
washing purposes, permitted no
bath for a half-year period, and
kept in crowded cell for "a peo-

were loudly denounced as murder
ers, the Reds did not hesitate to

citis. The operation was successful.
The officer recovered. The nun
was dragged back to prison.

Constructive Remedies


1t is wearisome and depressing
to euumerate the many evils which
threaten the family. We name
them only in order to Justify the
calling of conference on the sub
iect. Our problem, however, is not
merely negative. The problem
must indeed be explored in order
to supply the constructive rene
dies. The secular attitude toward
life endangers the entire relation
ship between the family and the
state.
The rights and duties of parents,
the reciprocal duties of children
towards father and mother, wom-
ans function in the home, and the
fathers authority in the family cir
cle-these and many more ques-
tions are now occupying the atten-
ton of a growing portion of public
opinion.
There are three distinct societies
established in the Providence of
God for the perfecting of the indi-
vidual These three societies are
the Family, the State, and the
Church. These three constitute the
God-given environment for the de.
velopment of the innate talents
and capacities of the human per
son. The family is a necessary So
ciety, but an incomplete one. II
is incomplete because it needs the
assistance of the State and of the
Church TO supplement its own eff
forts and fulfill its own RESPONSE
bilities. 1t is a necessary society,
because without it human life can
neither come into existence nor
achieve its destiny. 1t is obvious
that no individual comes into eX-
istence except as a member OF a
family.

His First Task
Christ, however, chose a proceed
ure quite contrary to human expec-
tation He had come to regenerate
human society, and in consequence
it was quite fitting that He should
begin His ministry where society
begins. The family begins with
marriage, and therefore His first
task was to sanctify the marriage
bond He wished to call attention
to the fact that marriage is a re.
ligious institution and that upon
its divine structure and God-given
function depends the welfare of
society at large.
It is quite possible that many
people will be curious to know
what new thing can be said on the
subject of the family. Why, they
may ask, should there be discus
sion about the family? Is anything
wrong; or has anything happened
which challenged the position of
the family as fundamental social
institution? Is there anything
which disturbs the normal rela-
tionship between parents and chill
dren, between husband and wife,
or between society and family?
HedUy 4ttack
The answer to these questions is
simple affirmative. The fact is
that the Christian tradition with
regard to marriage and the family
is at present under rather heavy
attack. The basis Of this criticism
is found in the progressive deteri-
oration of religious truth and prac-
tice. II manifests itself in a grow
ing secular attitude toward mar
riage and toward the Christian
code of domestic ethics. Purely
human laws are being substituted
for divine law The unity and in
dissolubility of marriage are look
cd upon as a matter of personal
convenience. There is a consider
able body Of public opinion which
wishes to emancipate marriage
from the protective legislation
which has safeguarded it in the
past
Jurists and social students clear
ly recognize the evils Of divorce;
they understand that broken homes
and multiple parents are the fer
tile source of juvenile delinquency.
Instead of attributing the evils,
however, to departure from
Christian tradition respecting the
structure and function OF the fam
| ily. they now talk of a new social
approach to divorce The new ap.
proach is to make obsolete the
present legal protection. These IN.
novations constitute challenge
which must be met by reaffirma
! ton of divine truth.

Lay fiction Needed

Last October, our Holy Father,
Plus XII, spoke To the World Con-
gress of the Lay Apostolate assem-
bled in general audience at the
Vatican In his address he empha-
sized once more the important
function of the laity in impregnat-
ing our social and civic life with
Christian principles. He pointed
out that this is a task peculiarly
their own, THE clergy" he states,
must hold itself in reserve for the
exercise OF the ministry which is
properly sacerdotal, in which il
cannot be replaced A balance,
furnished by the laymen in the
apoStolate, is therefore an indis.
pensable necessity"
There are many tasks in the re,
establishment OF the Christian
character of the family which can
be performed most effectively by
laymen. There are problems of a
legal nature for lawyers, problems
of an economic and social nature
for statesmen; problems of educa-
tion for parents and teachers, prob
lens of health, family allowances,
good housing, and social security
for experts in these respective
fields; and there is above all the
spiritual problem, which can be
solved best when the family be.
comes a church in miniature. Ii is
TO these tasks that this Conference
dedicates itself Our purpose this
morning is TO invoke the plenitude
of divine assistance, so that we may
have a right understanding in all
things and evermore rejoice in the
consultations of the Holy Spirit,

families as such. The Constitutions
of Portugal, of Spain, and of Ire
land might be mentioned as illus
trating the principle that it is the
duty of the State to come TO the
aid of individual families in mat
ters of education, health, housing,
and economic well-being. In other
words, there is a recognition of the
family as the social unit, rather
than the exaltation of the state. 1t
is movement in the right direc-
ton, and fully in accord with the
natural law and good social order.
The Third Society
There is third society to which,
in the Providence of God, all hui
man beings should belong. 1t is
the divinely established Church.
The Church is society which
treats of human beings as an aggre-
gate of souls, whilst the State is a
society which treats of human be-
ings as an aggregate of citizens.
The Church provides for the Spir-
itual necessities and the eternal
destiny of the individual, whereas
the State provides for the material
needs and the temporal destiny of
the citizens.
When Our Divine Savior was
about to leave this world, He gath
cred the Apostles together on the
Mount of the Ascension; there He
gave them His final instruction or
commission. "All power is given
to Me in heaven and on earth" He
said "As the Father sent me, so
| send you. Going, therefore, make
disciples of all nations, teaching
them to observe all things whatso-
ever | have commanded you"
II is the Church therefore which
has the divine commission to teach
the message of the Lord Jesus
Christ. AS direct corollary of this
responsibility, the Church cannot
fail to assume responsibility for
the education of the young in all
things which concern divine truth
and spiritual values. 1t is the
Church which has jurisdiction over
the Sacraments; therefore the
Church must concern herself with
the marriage contract. il is the
Church which interprets the Com
mandments of God; therefore the
Church must clarity the laws re
specting the function and purpose
of marriage. Saint Paul tells us
that marriage is a great Sacrament
but he adds: This is great mys.

Christ and to the Church"

Christ The Model

We can give no better illustra
ton which should exist between
parents and children, husbands
and wives, than that which Saint
Paul himself gave to the Ephe
slams:
BE subject TO one another in
the fear of Christ Let wives be
subject to their husbands as to
The Lord; because a husband is
head of the wife, just as Christ
is head of the Church, being him
self savior of the body. But just
as the Church is subject to
Christ, so also let wives be to
their husbands in all things.
Husbands, love your wives,
just as Christ also loved the
Church, and delivered himself
up for her, that he might sane
tify her, cleansing her in the
bath of water by means of the
word; in order that he might
present TO himself the Church in
all her glory, not having spot or
wrinkle or any such thing, but
that she might be holy and with
out blemish. Even thus ought
husbands also to love their wives
as their own bodies. He who
loves his own wife, loves himself.
For no one ever hated his own
flesh; on the contrary he nour-
ishes and cherishes it, as Christ
also does the Church because we
are members of his body, made
from his flesh and from his
bones).
For this reason a man shall
leave his father and mother,
and shall cleave to his wife;
. and the two shall become one
flesh
This is a great mystery ~ ]

to the Church"
