Charades Replace
Sermons To Teach
African Natives

OUAGADOUGOU, French West
Africa - (NC) - Charades have
replaced sermons in parts of the
Ouagadougou vicariate apostolic
administered by the White Fa-
thers.
A passion for acting among the
natives has made pantomime so
popular that they engage in char
AIDES for hours on end. The posi-
bility for using this game TO i'm
part religious instruction was first
demonstrated by a Redemptorist
missionary, Father Henry, when he
conducted a three-week mission at
PADRE in the vicariate.
He organized groups of natives
to act out important scenes from
the Old and New Testament and
the doctrines of the Church on the
priesthood, true family life, death,
judgment, Heaven and hell.
The missionary discovered that
the native actors needed only a
few words of instructions and they
would devote themselves with
great gusto to pantomiming the
truths assigned. The native audi
ence took equal delight in guess
ing the details of these truths.
Father Henry also preached
three sermons each day during the
mission. But he felt that they did
much less good than the charades.

Children's Home Seized
By German Reds; Charge Cruelty

BERLIN, (NC) - Disregarding
protests by the Bishop of Berlin,
East German communist authori-
ties have seized another Catholic
children's home under spurious
pretexts.
The institution seized is the
chiIdren's home in 0ebisfielde,
near Mageburg, which is in charge
of Franciscan nuns. The procedure
was the same as in the case of the
st. Anthonys home at Bad Saarow,
seized two weeks ago. Local COM
munist newspapers accused the
nuns of "maltreating" and ''over-
working" the children. Then the
home was visited by self-appoint-
ed inspectors" whose findings
were reported to authorities, fol;
lowed by confiscation.

State Aid Cut
Because Nuns
Teach Classes

DENVER, Colo. - (NC) - State
school aid payments are being
withheld from four San Luis Val
ley schools because they employ
Catholic nuns as teachers, it has
been announced here.
The action was taken by Burtis
Taylor, acting State education com
missioner. The payments total
more than $121,0OO a year. The
schools are located in Antonio, Co
neios, San Luis and Capulin. They
have a total enrolment of l,058
children.
MIR. Taylor ordered the funds
withheld pending settlement by
the Colorado Supreme Court of a
case in which a District Court
Judge ordered payments discon-
tinued in Logan County school
where nuns teach.
But Attorney General Duke w.
Dunbar pointed out that the time
for appeal from the lower court
decision in that case has expired.
He said the case now is dead un-
less the Colorado Supreme Court
is asked for and grants an exten-
sion of time for appeal.
The action of the education COM
missioner has created puzzle
concerning the future operation OF
the San Luis Valley schools. In
each case the school is the only
one in each of the towns, The
schools are opened to all children
regardless of religious belief. AL
though the Catholic nuns are the
only teachers, there is no evidence
that religious courses are included
in the curriculum of the schools.
II has been indicated that a new
suit may be filed in the case OF the
San Luis Valley schools because
they differ in some respects from
the Logan County school case. In
the ruling in the Logan Valley
case, the court set up certain con
ditions which il held barred the
ALLEGATION of public money to the
school. The conditions: so long as
members OF an ecclesiastical com
munity are teaching; sectarian re.
ligious instruction is given; re.
ligious garb is worn by the teach
ers, and the school is not under
absolute control of the state, pub
lie funds are to be withheld.
In the Logan County case, the
school building is owned by the
Catholic Church. In the San Luis
Valley situation, the school build
ings are owned publicly.
The four schools are in towns
which have . predominant Spanish
American population. The maiori'
nv OF the residents are Catholic.
The schools with their enrolment
and State aid payments last year
are: San Luis, 296 students in 10
grades, $29,254; coneios. so stu.
dents in eight grades. $6,9l6; An
tonic, 502 students in II grades
500 1913; cspuIin, 400 students In

munist regime against the seizure
of the Bad Saarow home. De-
claring the confiscaton to be ut
terly illegal and in violation of the
East German constitution, he de-
manded that the home be immedi-
ately returned to its legal owners.
The home in Oebisfelde is located
in section of the Archdiocese of
Paderborn that is located east of
the Iron Curtain.
Illustrative of the unpredict-
able nature of Communist tactics
was another report involving a
Catholic children's home in Bic
senthal, near Potsdam. This home,
which like the one at Bad Saarow
is in charge of st. Hedwig Sisters,
had to undergo a day-long lin
spection" by communist COM
mission. However at a following
meeting between the commission
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1953-06-19

and the Sisters, the communists
praised the good relations" be-
tween the Sisters and the chill
dren and issued a certificate to
the effect that the home is rec
ognized by the state.
So far, five Protestant and two
Catholic children's homes have
been seized by the communists.
In this connection, Petrusblstt.
Berlin diocesan weekly, recalls
resolution of the communist top
leaders year ago which demands
that all privately operated vaca-
ton camps and children's homes
to be taken over by the state.
"In recent weeks" Petrusblatt
writes, "the Communists party has
apparently decided to act accord
ing to this plan, to paralyze charit-
able activities and to confiscate
church-operated institutions.

But the movement doesn't stop
in the home. II expands, through
the spiritual and corporal works of
mercy, along the street, through
the neighborhood, into the COM
munity, the nation.
The CMF's take up the Gospel
at each meeting, and figure out an
application of it to some particular
action during the following week
They also make social inquiries, +"
asking what needs doing in the
area, and how to tackle it.
Each year, CFM gathering of
couples from many states draws
up suggested course of study and
action. Last year, for instance, the
clubs dug into the subjects of civic
responsibility, work and recreation.
Molly and Herb don't agree with
me that it takes about three years
to turn the average garden-variety
Catholic into a qualified "action
cIubber." They quote me some
body who said that lone learns to
play the harp by playing the
harp" They think maybe Aristotle
said it.
Maybe he did, but he shouldn't
have. Playing the harp is the long
way, not the short way, to learn
to play the harp. The short way is
to begin by learning to read mu-
sic. And I'll guarantee you'll find
few listeners if you go around try
ing to play the harp before you've
learned to play it. Fact is, you'll
turn people again harp music.
I've seen the harm that can be
done among non-Catholics, for in
stance, by the bumbling explana-
tions of the Catholic Faith they get
from people who haven't bothered
to get a firm grasp of 1t them
selves. Pve observed the negative
or tragic results of loud arguments
entered into by Catholics who
haven't developed themselves spir-
itually, and therefore don't really
love their neighbors, and can't
control their tempers.
OF course, it all depends on what
kind of action we're talking about.
You needn't be theologian to
take a bowl of soup to a sick wom-
an in the neighborhood; and |
suppose that's really what Molly
and Herb mean. Probably we're all
three right, when you come down
to it.

fort, security and without being
overcrowded, is certainly a prime
necessity for a stable, wholesome
and happy society"
In message to the housing con-
ference, President Dwight d. Els.
enhower said that Americans of
all parties have now accepted the
moral obligation" of improving
housing conditions and of "provid-
ing decent housing for those now
compelled to live in sIums."
The President made no mention
of a recent House of Representa-
tives vote to end all appropriations
for federal public housing or of a
Senate vote which cut public hous-
ing by one million dollars and ap-
proved appropriations for $4,000
housing units for this year.
In his address, Father Finnegan
pointed, out that public housing
with the proposed program of 35,-
600 units ''is at its lowest point in
