MeF adden, Coach
At Madison Local
Resigns Saturday

Dave McFadden, 33, coach of
Madison Local school has resign
ed, according to school officials.
He had been head coach at Mad
ison Local since 1852, coming here
from Upper Sandusky schools. In
his resignation, McFadden said
that he was resigning for the best
of all concerned" The letter of
resignation was dated October 3.
County School Superintendent,
Rolla d. Webster, said that while
the resignation had been received,
it had not been accepted, inasmuch
as the local board has not had
meeting as yet.
According to Columbus police
records, McFadden had entered a
plea of guilty on charges of mo
testing females" under Columbus
City Ordinance, 1883, according
to local police. Judge Petree had

costs, it was said. It is believed
that McFadden'S resignation came
as a result of the such conviction
although school officials declined

ject.

The Masses will be offered by
some members of the hierarchy,
regular prison chaplains I'd
priests specially designated by
their bishops to lead the observ-
ance. in smaller correctional insti-
tutions where there is no regular
chaplain.
Arrangements have been made
for Bishop Lane to pontificate at
Maryknoll in New York and Bish-
op Thomas Mcdonnell to offer
Mass in the penitentiary of West
Virginia. Similar arrangements
are being made for an observance
at the state prison in Charles
town, Massachusetts,.
For years, devotion to st. Dis
mas-as the Good Thief on Cal
vary traditionally is known-has
been encouraged by Catholic and
Protestant prison chaplains, es-
pecialIy among inmates of penal
institutions.
The movement to set aside one
Sunday a year to honor the Good
Thief-who stole" Heaven in his
dying moments-began last year
among members of the National
Catholic Prison Chaplains' Asso-
citation.
Backers of the idea won sup
port of Catholic prison chaplains
and the bishops in the United
States, and the necessary permis-
sion was granted by Rome three
months later.
