Father Parker found Miomura,
the American" village to be typic-
ally Japanese in most respects, ex-
cept that about half of its 5000
population at one time or another
had lived in the United States or
Canada. American-style clothes

layers had fair knowledge of
English.
The Columbian missionary found
only two Catholics among the viii
layers, although there were stable
groups of Methodists, Baptists and
other Protestants. The nearest Ca
tholic church is eight miles away.
Father Parker announced that he
had accepted a request to go to
Miomura one night a week to teach
English, on condition that he is al

tiar doctrine.

BREMEN, Germany-NC)-The
citizens of the town of Papenburg
have decided that something
ought to be done" to stop the dan
gcrouS effect of imported Wild
West movies on the community's
youth.
The call for action came after a
14-year-old lad, dressed up like a
cowboy, was caught armed with a
long butcher knife which he had
filched in the towns hardware
store.
Then, two other lads disappeared
from home in search of adventure
of the type they had read about
in Wild West novels. As a result,
priests, ministers, representatives
of police, parents theater owners
and booksellers formed a commit
tee TO decide on countermeasures
against the Wild West vogue.

HONG KONG - NC) - Catho-
lie life in the Lanchow Diocese of
Kansu is improving rather than

This was the word brought here

in Hong Kong preceded that of
Archbishop Theodore Bud d en-
brock, S.V.D., of Lanchow. who
was banished together with six
other priests and a Brother, all be-
longing ia the Society of the Di-
vine Word.
Father Schneider attributed the
fidelity of the Lanchow Catholics
largely to the example and inspira-
tion of loyal native priests.
He recalled that recently when
all the priests were moved out of

matte group, have retracted and re-
turned to the Sacraments.
Some of the seminarians in the
Lanchow seminary are in Jail and
doing corrective labor" But
those who have not completed
their philosophy course are being

er reported. Meanwhile, he added,
local Catholics have banded togeth-

seminary support themselves dur.

Fifty years old, Father Schneider
is native of Stolberg, Germany,
and had spent % years in the
China mission field. Another
priest, Father Paul Mueller, S.V.D.

"BLOlU Me DOiUrl''

NEW YORK-During the school
year the Maryknoll Sisters who
teach at Our Lady of Refuge
School in the Bronx have their pu-
pills enact religious plays. Instead
of following a prepared script, they
simply tell story to the young.
Sters and then let the actors impro-
wise their own lines.
In one particular play, three pu-
pills enacted the story of the Pres
entation in the Temple. Little
Mary and little Joseph entered the
Temple and placed an infant doll
in the arms of little Simeon, who
received it with wide-eyed rever-
ential wonder and exclaimed:

first unit concerns itself with the
study of the Society for the Propa-

with missionary problems close to

have adopted so they can learn

ing it.
Unit three concerns itself with
the home missions of the United
States. The unit follows much the
same pattern as does the second
unit.
The remaining units are devoted
to foreign missions and their prob
lens. Each school is assigned a
mission school. The students cor
respond with each other and by
so doing, a program of education
is carried on wherein the children
here at home exchange ideas with
those Of foreign lands.
The members of the unit are sup
piled illustrated material, maps and
other literature which is studied
thoroughly so that the units can
inform the rest of the student
body of the many problems facing
the missionaries here at home and
abroad. These subjects are dis
cussed periodically in school as
sembly gatherings and home room
meetings.
Several students are making
plans to spend some time in Co
lumbus diocese missions this sum
mer to become more familiar with
them.
Planning for the project is Co
ordinated by the Reverend James
Kulp, diocesan director of the
Society for the Propagation of the
Faith.
The project allows the Catholic
student to now participate in mis-
sion work, rather than merely be
an onlooker as had been the case
