WITH THE FIRST MARINE DI-

combat altar kits recently design
ed and produced by the Navy,
which can be slung over the shoul-
der like a woman's large handbag,

Replacing cumbersome suitcases,
the new kits are made of canvas
and contain vestments, altar linen
and all necessities for saying Mass.
Eventually, they will be issued to
chaplains serving with all Marine
divisions and to a few on small

the arrival of 46 Catholic mission.

One other American priest

John Baptist Msye, . Passionist
from Scranton, Ps. Since being
turned back he has sent . fsIs-

At the same time, Bishop Anton
Vovk, Apostolic Administrators of
Liubljana, provincial capital of
Slovenia, has been warned to stop
at once the offering of special
prayers in the Diocese for the per-
secuted Church in Poland.
Bishop Voyk was informed on
behalf of Milo Marinko, Chief
Minister ot the Slovenian proyin-
cial government, that he had better
mind his own business" and leave
'irreyalent things" in Poland alone.
According to reports reaching
here, heavy fines for publicly con-
demning the communist persecu-
ton of the Church in Poland have
been imposed on two Slovenian
priests from Maribor. and on Croat-
ian priests from Dubrovnik and
Split. The reason given was that
their words provoked "anti-Titoist
feeling"
Meanwhile, the Creation govern
ment has seized copies of an alleg-
ed letter from His eminence Alloy
sius Cardinal Stepinac, semi-impris-
oned Archbishop of Zagreb, destin-

On the other hand, many priests

ance. Contrast this now with
God who spared not His own Di-
vine Son to redeem us from sin.
From this st. Paul argues that
if God spared not to deliver up
His own Son, then Should we not
deliver up what we have for Him?
Mission Sunday is here. The
chips are down: either we ex-
press courageously our Faith and
Love, or, by refusing to make
a heartfelt sacrifice, we aban-
don the wounded Christ on the
frontiers of His Mystical Body,
the Church.
There are two things we can
give to God: what we have and
what We are. Despair not of this
modern world. Ii is full of those
who do not spare themselves for
love of God. Take the mission
ary in China who was about to
be expelled, and though he was
strong and vigorous, begged the
Communists to let him stay with
the lepers, because he did not
have many years to live. Then
there is the Chinese priest who
runs a ferry boat, and who takes
on his midnight trip only those
who take instructions from him,
during the crossing. Another
Chinese priest, after two and a
half years in prison, supports
himself by carrying coal in one
hundred pound sacks for six
miles each delivery. But he uses
the trip as an opportunity to sus-
tain the prosecuted Catholics
whom he meets on the way.
Several young girls arrested for
being members of the Legion of
Mary we're told by the court to
give up their faith. The next
day, they reported to the Ward
Road Prison of Shanghai, saying
they refused to deny the Church
and were ready to go to prison.

How proud We Catholics can
be of our brothers and sisters in
China. Millions of American
Catholics would do the same if
the Communists took over here.
We know this because of the
sacrifices they are now making
for the Holy Fathers Missions,
some sending $3.50 to educate an
adopted son for the priesthood,
others taking out an individual
perpetual membership in the
Holy Fathers Pontifical Society
for $50 which insures them
countless spiritual privileges
now and after death; others
praying for the Missions on a
World Mission Rosary which can
be procured upon request and a
So offering; others by sacrific-
ing a luxury or raise in salary.
If God spared not His Son, what
will you not spare?

Miss Turnbull offers these tips to classified

Two Government girls who live in AMMAN
dale Va, have made an interesting and
profitable hobby out of tracking down bar
gains advertised in the classified section
of The Star.
1t all started when Agnes Turnbull and
Dorothy Weston answered Star classified
ad offering a house for sale. Before long
they were the owners of big, beautiful,
empty home. That brought up the question
of furniture and furnishings and led them
straight back to Star classified.
When we first started what has now be-
come our hobby of following up on Star
classified ads" Miss Turnbull points out, I'VE
knew very few people. Now we associate
each piece of furniture with particular
friend we met through the ads"
Among the fine bargains the girls have
found is an Oriental rug valued at $3.50 that
they picked up for $50. generals wife
let them have mahogany tea cart for $l0.
They have an English captains sea desk
with a bullet hole in the bottom drawer
They bought it for $50, had it refinished for
S35 and then turned down an offer OF $2OO.
