Sterilization
Issue i'm India

NEW DELHI. India - NC) -
sterilization of units" was con
demned by India's Health Minister
as "unscientific, unethieal and i'm,
practicable" when proposal to
introduce it in India was discuss
ed in parliament here.
The proposal was made in the
Upper House as a non-official res
olution introduced by Lilayathi
Munshi. Miss Munshi called for
compulsory sterilization OF all
adults suffering from incurable
diseases or insanity, with view
to securing the development of a
healthy and strong nation and also
to check the growth of the fam
ily."
Opposing the suggestion, Chris
tian Health Minister Rajakumari
Amrit Kaur said that if the resolu-
tion we're adopted, persons sui
fering from such diseases would
never come forward for treatment,
but would hide the disease till ii
reached an advanced stage.
Pointing out that no disease was
incurable, the Health Minister
said:
"From the point of view of sci
ence the suggestion is wholly I'M
scientific. from the point of view
of ethics it is wholly unethlcal,
and from the point of view of prac-
ticability, it is wholly impractic-
able"

this large work, the Bishops of the
United States are conducting a ma
tion-wide Appeal. In most parts of
the United States, the Appeal will
be held on December 6, the Sun
day nearest TO the Feast of the I'M
maculate Conception, December 8.
Actively promoting the Appeal is
the following committee of the
Hierarchy:
Their Eminences Edward Car
dinal Mooney, Archbishop of De-
troit; Samuel Cardinal Stritch,
Archbishop of Chicago; Francis
Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of
New York; James Francis Cardinal
Mcintyre, Archbishop of Los An
geles.

ton of Richmond.
In 1916. eight years before the
promulgation of the Dogma of the
Immaculate Conception. the Bish-
ops of United States petitioned Pope
Plus TX to designate the Bless
ed Mother Patroness of the United
States under the title of her I'm
maculate Conception. The Pontiff
acceded to this request in 1847 by
special Papal letter.
The last Plenary Council OF
Baltimore, held in 1884, gave fa-
vorable consideration to the erec-
tion of a national shrine of the
Blessed Virgin.
In 1918, Bishop Thomas j.

and beliefs of the people they

The Church also proposes a
number of positive alternatives 70

ton problems in Puerto Rico.
One such alternative is immi.
grafton. The Church believes that
immigration should be used as a
better method of relievening the
excess population in Puerto Rico,
than a program having such NOR
ally dislocating features as birth
control or sterilization

ried out by the Puerto Rican gov

ton OF. poverty. There is no moral
problem involved in the program
and inaSmuch as the purpose OF
the program is to promote the
general welfare, an objective that
has begun to be reached in the last
10 years. this activity of the Peurto
Rican government must receive
praise for the large achievements
of this date.
Since this is being written for
the Catholic press il might he
spropos TO say few words con,
cerning the Puerto Rican and his
RELIGION.
In general | will say that in
no way is Catholicism a national
characteristic: it is an Individual
conviction In all the different
nationalities. or national groups,
one finds that the appreciation and
practice of religion is a personal
matter and not a racial or nation
al consideration. For this reason
one finds good and bad Catholics
in every nationality.
II is not possible to deny that
local circumstances can influence
the practice of religion. If one
believes that the Puerto Rican who
comes to the United States doesn't
practice his religion as we'll as the
native Catholic. one must also take
into account that in Puerto Rico
there is only one priest for each
5000 Catholics. In the United
States the ration is approximately
one priest for every 1000 Catho-
lies. In Puerto Rico only four
per cent Of the Catholic chill
dren have the opportunity to be
educated in Catholic schools.

Lavnen Rally
To Safeguard
Censorship

BALTIMORE, Nd. - NCl-
Catholic lay organizations have raj
lied together here to combat grow
ing assaults upon Maryland film
censorship.
Representatives of % groups
launched plans to mobilize all in
terested citizens of the State
against what was called nation
ally organized attack aimed at the
ultimate repeal OF censorship
statutes.'
Increasing number of appeals by
film distributors against decisions
by the Maryland Board of Motion
Picture Censors caused the Knights
of Columbus to spearhead the
drive. Recent court decisions have
reversed the boards ban on two
films-one a strip tease feature,
the other containing clinical sex
sequences"
Plan of the combined Catholic
groups is to alert legislators and
Maryland citizens through personal
contact and newspaper advertise
ments.
A warning against the limita-
tions of the Motion Picture Produc-
tion Code-Hollywood's system for
self regulation n"-was issued by
Censor Board Chairman Sydney r.
Traub in an address before the
meeting of Catholic lay leaders.
Mr.. Traub pointed out that the
voluntary code does not include
many independent producers of in
decent films and does not cover
foreign movies which are the ones
that give us headaches
He said that the Motion Picture
Association is playing up" the
code to convince the courts that
the industry does not need censor
ship. At the same time the MPA
has announced its intention TO
fight state censorship throughout
the us, he said.
A call for Catholic laymen to
back the fight to protect censor
ship was issued by State Deputy
John Bauerschub of the Knights of
Columbus who urged a campaign
Ito prevent what is threatening
the Maryland public at the mo-
ment-a deluge of promiscuous,
dirty and lascivious feature films.

has been called for October /.

especially appropriate to this coun-
try, however, for here the whole
nation, many dioceses and cathed-
rails, schools and churches are ded-
icated to the Blessed Mother, un-
der the title of her Immaculate
Conception
The year 1854 will mark the
Tooth anniversary of the promul-
CATION by Pope Plus TX of the
Dogma of the Immaculate Concep-
ton. II will be the occasion of a
worldwide celebration Catholics
in the United States will mark the
centenary by beginning the magnif-
icent upper church of the National
Shrine of the Immaculate Concep-
tion in this city. The massive foun-
dations, enclosing beautiful
Crypt Church, already are COM

Scripture. By what things d man

To establish order, Bishop GTif-
fiths continued, and therefore to
achieve peace in our own lives. we
must root out those factors which
keep US at war with God
we must struggle against the
eoneupiscence of the flesh. the con-
cupiscence Of the eyes md the
pride Of life. These are the three
basic factors which impede the
Lord Jesus from reigning in our
souls.
Put On krmor OF God
To restore peace. We must first
put on the armor of God ghich is
prayer and penance. This is no
time for upholstered Christianity
or sentimental pietism This is an
hour when we must strip ourselves
Of our luxuries, our creature COM

tials for a struggle in which we
must engage with fallen powers
and principalities.

Backa. an area in the northeastern
part of Yugoslavia adjoining the
Hungarian border. The territory
belonged to Hungary until 1918
and the Apostolic Administration
embraces areas that formerly were
part Of the Hungarian Diocese of
kalocsa.
Reports reaching here say that
the Bishop was attacked as he was
riding in an automobile near the
Hungarian border. He was drag
ged into a truck and has not been
seen since. The incident. similar
to other recent attacks on Catholic
Bishops and prelates of the Orth0-
dox Church, is said to cause grave
concern to Yugoslav Catholics.
Archbishop Josef Ujcie of Bel
grade is reported to have gone TO
Subotica, the official residence of
Bishop Budanovic, in an effort 10
establish the whereabouts of the
missing prelate. No further de-
tails of the attack are known so
far. but it is assumed here that it
was carried out by mobs misguid-
ed by communist propaganda.
Some weeks ago it be m c
known that the communists had
ordered formation of local commit
tees TO rganize spontaneous"
attacks on Yugoslav Bishops and
to arrange matters in such way
that police would not interfere in
a quarrel between the Bishops and
"the angry patriots who resent
the tools of the Vatican being en-
gaged in political agitation"
During the last war. Bishop Bu-
danovic was frequently hailed by
the goslav partisans for his
firm stand against the nazis.
Trieste Dispute
Meanwhile, many reports reach
here from Dalmatia, Istria and
Slovenia bearing out the suspicion
that the Tito regime attempts to
involve the clergy in the Yugo-
slay-Italian dispute over Trieste.
Extreme pressure is brought on
croai and sloyere Bishops. the rs-
ports say, TO denounce what the
Belgrade regime calls Ifaly's "im-
periaIisfic" policy. The communists
are doing all in their power 10
bring about an artificial split be-
tween their patriotic" and "ene-
my" priests.

Polish Regime Places
First Bishop on Trial

BERLIN-The Polish communist
regime has for the first time in
its history of religious persecution
placed on trial" Catholic Bishop.
An official Polish announcement
heard here stated that Bishop
Czeslaw Kaczmarek of Kielce had
been placed on trial" on charges
of spying for the Americans and
the Vatican.
The communist regime charged
that the "anti-state" activities of
Bishop Kaczmarek we're undertak-
en- al the order of the Vatican. II
asserted that these Vatican "or-
ders" we're given in mid-1945
through instructions handed the
Bishop by the late Cardinal Hlond.

Natural Law. The Church, there
for, cannot accept material bene-
fits derived from these practices
as justification of these prac-
tices.
The Church is also of the feel
ing that in Puerto Rico the people
have not been consulted in re-
spect to these measures and that
the promotion OF these ideas com
ing from the minds of government
officials does not have the will of
the people.
Finally the Church believes that

Addressing a throng OF 1900 in
the Fairgrounds Coliseum, the pre-
late, who is auxiliary to Francis
Cardinal Spellmsn, the military
vicar, snslyzed the ills besetting
the world.
There is not man among US, !"
Bishop Griffiths said, who does
not feel the anxious throbbings,
the ominous brooding of the world
about US. There is darkness on the
face OF the earth.
"Day after day the newspapers.
the radio. and television bring US
tidings OF greater enofmities, Of
more puzzling diplomatic compli-
cations. as the green-blue flames
Of the Cold War roar onwards
across the face OF the earth like
universal forest fire"
And while citizens Of the world
are asking each other the root OF
the trouble, the Bishop said. diplo-
mats and other experts have coin
ed high sounding phrases and mys-
terious technical formulas mot 50
much to explain but rather to e.
plain arag the Unprecedented ca.
tastrophe." He continued:
'They place the blame on exag-
gerated nationalism, staggering
militarism. new born imperialism,
regimented totaIiiarianism, dehy-
drafting socialism, the covenants of
Casablsnea, Teheran. Yalta and
Potsdam and a score of subsequent
factors.
But you know ss we'll IS do
that the root OF ell this misery
and confusion is the rejection Of
the very mention OF God and Of
His everlasting moral code in the
futile efforts to design blueprint
for peace without God.
You must know as well as ]
do that at the core of the cancer,
eating at the vitals of mankind, are
human pride, human hatred and
human greed"
Tracing the cause to the late
nineteenth century. the prelate
said the pagan devastators prom
ised that natural science would ex.
plain away all the mysteries of re-
ligion as superstitions, as taboos,
as relics of pitiable, so-called
Dark Age" These early prophets
of new humanism proclaimed
that when science would have Its
proper sway. the mysteries OF
Christianity would collapse. preiu
dice and bigotry and intolerance
would eyaporate with all super.
natural forms and an ordered
planned humanity would live in
an era of undisturbed harmony
and unbroken peace"
Noting that science has develop
ed in the last century to an extra
ordinary degree, Bishop Griffiths
lamented that millions of men al
lowed the teachers who had light
ened their labor and improved
their foed and clothing and hous
ing to prescribe also for their souls
and TO pontificate about their ulti
mate destiny" In short. the pre-
late explained:

Pat Cream
Into Face
And Neck
By Josephine Lowmon

Many readers write to know
how to massage cream into the
face and neck. I have said many
times in this column that I do
not believe in massage except
when done by an expert and
there are not lot of them avail
able over the country.
AS a general rule it is much
better to pat the cream in. In un-
skilled hands massage is apt TO
break down the fatty deposits
under the skin and to stretch the
skin itself. Pat gently from the
corners of the mouth out to the
temples and from the bottom of
the nose out to the temples, pat
the cream in around the eyes,
beginning at the inside corner
and moving around in a circle.
Pat from the eyebrows up toward
the hair line on the forehead.
There are a few places where
you can massage the cream in,
using your third finger in a ro-
tary motion. Here they are;
along the lines of the crowsfeet
at the corners of the eyes, along
the line between the broWS and
above the nose and along any
horizontal lines on the forehead.
Gentle massage along these lines
will actually smooth them out
some if you do this faithfully.
When it comes to the neck
apply your cream and pat from
the right collar bone up to the,
right ear, from the left collar
bone up to the left ear and from
the base of the neck to the tip of
the chin.
After you have done this, pat
briskly from the tip of your chin
to the right ear underneath the
jawline, and from the tip of your
chin to the left ear underneath
the jawline. You can be rather
strenuous at this area.
Always cleanse your face be-
fore applying the cream unless
your skin is very dry apply an
aStringent or at least a Freshmen
after removing the cream with
tissues and warm wet cloth. Do
not pull the skin even when you
dry your face. Blot it dry.

I have had so many good tips

dosmy bit. The following recipe
was clipped from RICH a long
time ago: Dissolve 2 table,
spoons plain gelatin in u cup
appleSauce. Let stand for 10
minutes. Bring "a cup apple
sauce and 2 cups white sugar
to a boil. Add first mixture
and boil slowly for Is minutes.
Remove from fire and add the
juice of "a lemon, 2 teaspoons
vanilla and lie cups chopped
nut meats. The addition of 2
tablespoons brandy fiavoring
gives a delicious touch to it
and should be added if desired,
just as you finish the Is min
utes of cooking. Pour into
well-buttered square pan and
let stand in refrigerator "a
hours. Then cut in small
squares and roll each piece
well in powdered sugar and put
back into refrigerator for a
few hours. Keep in covered
container. 1t will keep fresh
