The BIG FIX
by Frank Sullivan

The following year my revered
sister, or SIS. (Sainted Sullivan)
replied, Eyes, and it's driving me
nuts, too, not to mention the
neighbors."
Where's the screwdriver?" /
demanded, in a fury of energy.
''It'sm The Thing. said the SIS.
In our house The Thing is the
place where the screwdriver is
when the SIS. can't remember
where the screwdriver is. The
Thing can be the tool shed, the
cellar, the attic, milady's chamber
or the kitchen cabinet where aban-
doned string, bent nails and old
deviled eggs are kept.
Burke Held Out
ExPERIENCE has taught me that
the screwdriver is rarely to be
found in The Thing. 1t is usually
some place where you'd least ex-
pect it. like behind the television
set or underneath a spirea bush in
the back yard.
The screwdriver was not in The
Thing. I couldn't find it and
Neighbor Burke wouldn't let me
borrow his screwdriver because he
maintained / had already borrowed

Its wherever you left it," she
said, coolly. The SIS. was in one of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. moods
that summer.
By an odd coincidence it was in
that same summer that was in
one of my you-had-it-last moods,
so l retorted, ''You had it last,
you know"

/ then have to pull it out and
straighten it. And I always wind
up by hurting the hammer into the
spirea bush. It would be less effort
to hurl the nail but it makes me

Holy Father Sends
Note OF Sympathy
To Flood Victims

L0ND0N-(NC)- His Holiness
Pope Plus XII has sent q message
of sympathy through Bishop Fran
els j. Grimshaw of Plymouth to the
victims of disastrous floods in the
North Devon coastal area around
Lynmouth.
Catholic societies and indivi-
duals are supporting the national
relief fund for relatives of the 40
odd victims and the 1000 people
whose homes we're wrecked when
the River Lyn, following heavy
rain, burst its banks and swept
down from Exmoor to wreck the
pretty little coastal resort.
The Universe, British Catholic
weekly, opened = relief fund of
its own.
Lynmouth, which was practically
laid waste by a sudden, 12-foot
high wall of water, has no Catholic
church, the Is or so local Catholics
attending Mass at nearby Lynton.
None of the victims is known to
have been a Catholic.

Africa Counts
Record Group
In Seninaries
Nearly !, 500 Natives Now
Study for Priesthood;
Fruitful Mission Field

ROME - fNC) - Diocesan stu
dents in major seminaries in At
RIGA considerably outnumber ma
tive priests. Statistics released
here by the Fides news agency
reveal that there are 1924 stu
dents for the diocesan priesthood
IN major Seminaries in Africa and
only 1854 native priests based on
1851 figures.
The proportion of major SEM
inarians to Catholics in Africa, ac-
cording to Fides, is one to every
10000. This compares favorabIy
to 1852 statistics released by r. j.
Kennedy and Sons, showing the
same proportion of minor and
major semlnarians to Catholics in
the United States.
Minor Seminarlans are students
taking high school and prepara-
tory college training. Major SEM
inarianS are students of philosophy
and theology.
Fides breaks down the location
Of the major seminarians as foil
ows 81, nearly all of the Coptic
Rite, in Egypt, Eritrea and Etho-
pia, 86 in Algeria and Tunis under
the auspices of the Sacred Con
sistorial Congregation; 101 in An
COLA and Mozambique, Portuguese
Africa, and 1,243 in the rest of
Africa under the auspices of the
Sacred Congregation for the Pro-
pagation of the Faith.
In addition, there are about $50
African students attending major
seminaries in other parts of the
world, Fides says.
The survey notes that vocations
to the priesthood are particularly
plentiful in the territory around
the great African lakes. In Tan
ganyika there is q major semin-
arian for every 1000 Catholics;
in Nyasaland one for every $500.
The least fruitful vocation area in
Madagascar where the proportion
is one to 10000 Catholics, Fides
says.
The 1854 native African priests
make up only IS per cent of the
1898 clergy serving Africas Is
million Catholics, Fides says. The
majority Of the missionaries come
from France which supplies 1900
or 21.5 per cent of the total Next
comes Belgium with 1888 miss
ionaries, Holland with 9l6, and
Ireland with 807. Canada is eighth
with 282 missionaries and the
United States tenth with 1874 miss.
ionaries in Africa.
The most generous contributions
of missionaries, as measured by
the total number of priests at
home, are made by Holland, Ire
land and Belgium.

5 Programs Of Mission Action
Adopted At CSMC Convention
Crusaders Renew Plea For Interracial Justice; Pledge
To Work For Religious Vacations

NOTRE DAME, Ind.-NC)-Five
program of mission action,
beamed at five great areas of life,
were launched at the 18th National
nvention of the Catholic
Students Mission Crusade.
The convention, largest in CSMC
history. was held at the University
of Notre Dame. II brought to-
gether three thousand students,
educators, and mission leaders for
four days of discussion on the re
ligious crisis of our times and the
opportunities of Catholic American
youth to meet the problems posed.
Under the leadership of Bishops
Edward Mason, of the Anglo-Egypt-
ian Sudan, and Paul Furuya, of
Kyoto, Japan, the convention put
into operation programs for estab-
fishing correspondence between
students in colleges and universe
ties in Africa and Japan and stu
dents in the United States.
Centers for the African cor
respondence project will be at
Aquinas Institute, Rochester, NY
and Mount Mary College, Milwau-
kee. The Japanese correspondence
will be centered at West Baden
College, West Baden Springs, Ind,
ly returned from the Catholic Uni
versity of Tokyo, as chairman.
A program designed to create
solidarity in the missionary activ-
titles of Catholics in the United
States and the Latin American
countries, outlined by Bishop Ray
mond A. Lane, Superior General Of
Maryknoll, will provide for the
sending OF a one-man mission TO
confer with Catholic groups in the
individual countries of South
America,
For this mission, II was propos
ed that an executive of a Catholic
university in the us, be appoint
ed and that he report his findings
to college groups in the States.
Stress Social Service
Another program of action calls
for the wider participation of Cath
olic college graduates in social
service for the people in under
developed areas.
The fifth program adopted by
the national CSMC calls for the
holding of institutes for foreign
students who are studying at uni
versities in the United States. The
Institutes, as outlined by Wet
Nam missionary, the Rev. Emman-
uel Jacques, of the Society of Mis-
sionary Auxiliaries, will be assem-
blies of students from given areas,

along with carefully selected ex-
perts, who will help to reorientate
the studies of these young people
TO current conditions and prob
lens in their respective countries,
other resolutions, adopted in the
final session, reaffirm the CSMC
stand on interracial justice, with
special emphasis on the religious
education of the Negro Americans,
and calling attention particularly
to the importance of catechetical
work among Negro youth.
Plan Vocation Days
The convention also projected
new studies of the priestly and re-
ligious vocations. Cooperation of
their groups was promised by a
panel of seminarians, who will
prepare programs for the observ-
ance of vocation days" in the high
schools. A program of Pontifical
Work was outlined by Msgr. Jo-
seph Clifford Fenton, of the Cath
Ollie University of America.
In its closing session, the CON
vention petitioned Archbishop Karl
J. Alter of Cincinnati to continue
in the office of National President
of the CSMC, and similar petit
tion requested Bishop Thill to con
tinue in the office of Executive
Board Chairman The reappoint-
ment of Msgr. Freking as National
Secretary was announced.
