SAN ANGELO, Tex. (NC)-The
parish of San Jose here has had a
little church for some time. In re-
placing il with larger one the par

doing the construction job them
selves.
Paying for the building piece by
piece as it goes up, the parish
knows ii will have something
worthy when the church is com
pleted in another two or three
years. Not only worthy, but in
teresting and unusual. In the first
place, there won't be any windows;

Embodying 80 Articles and an

was signed on behalf of His Holi-

Domenico Tardini, Vatican Pro,
Secretary of State for Extraordi-
nary Ecclesiastical Affairs, at a
ceremony in the Hall of Congrega-

According to OsSerUatore Ro-

"The Spanish State reaffirms
those solid principles which are
fundamental to the prosperity Of
the family and of the nation, with
full recognition of church marriag

As Matters Stand
Joe Breig Says:
Kinsey Doesn't Know Sex

achieve, through Gods grace and
his own efforts, everlasting happi-
ness in an eternal sharing in Gods
own divine life.
When you start with that reality
about man, you can arrive at reali-
ty about sex. You perceive that sex
engages not alone the body, but
the soul-the whole immense com
plexity of the physical and spiritu-
al life of human beings. You be
gin TO see that God created sex, as
He created man, for divine pur-
pose - purpose having eternal
consequences.
There is such a thing as sex in
order that men and women may
cooperate with God in His creative
and providentiai work. So towering
is our human dignity that God
takes us into partnership in the
divine activity of bringing out oi
nothingness new beings who will
live as long as God lives, and who
are To be so educated and reared
as to become fit to share forever
in Gods life and infinite happi
ness.
Marriage is so divinely and eter'
nally important that Christ made il
a Sacrament. That is, it is an out
ward sign, an instrument, of in
ward spiritual grace which trans
forms and sanctilies souls, making
husband and wife God-like
Sex has for its proper purpose
the honor and glory of God, the
procreation and salvation of hui
man beings, and the increase of
nuptial love.
Such are some of the deep
truths necessary TO understand sex.
Kinsey doesn't know them. Neither
does the press. Not appreciating
those realities, their whole APP
proach to sex is poisoned and viii
ated at the source.
It's no good TO" KlnSey TO say
he's merely a scientist, not con
cerned with spiritual and moral as
poets. A scientist is one who knows
his subject. Kinsey doesn't.
People who don't understand
sex can find some passing pleasure
in it, But they can't find happi-
ness, neither temporal nor eternal.
They're like barbarians scraping
with stick on Stradiyarious vi
olin. all unaware what divine mel
odies it could produce in the hands
of a virtuoso.

Since Mrs. Carter projected

David Belasco produced Eugene

rehearsal she did everything that
was expected of her except in one
scene, where her hysterical scream
was several pitches below the re-
suit desired by the Master" In
the dress rehearsal, Belasco tip

gave a shrek that stood every

When a heroine made breakfast

bacon and eggs had to watt out to
the audience. When she turned the
tap, real water had to pour into
the sink. In one play, recalls Abel
Green, editor of Variety" a cat
walked in front of a fireplace, and
played with a ball of yarn while
entranced onlookers forgot all that
the hero was saying.
RelascO achieved this effect
by cOnfining the cat i'm a cage

smeared with catnip.

now to discover any appreciable
change in sentiment from that

the contrary has found gen.

The organization cited results
of a study made in 1947 and
1948. The study showed that 50
per cent of the principal civic

favored daylight time.
Business clearly wants day
