Catholic Church talks too much
about money?
A. Democracy should be free
too, but it takes money to run
a democratic government. There
is no essential part of the
Church's mission which is not
available TO anyone without
money e.g. the Sacraments. Still
it should be obvious that for
Gods house We need money just
as the Old Testament Jews need
ed money and got it. 1t is re-
corded many places in the
Sacred Scriptures that the char
ity of the Church, the liveli-
hood of the priest and Christian
education should be supported.

that this rule holds today and

There has been a considerable
tendency in recent years to dis
credit the idea Of hunting with
handgun. In fact. hunting laws
n many states now prohibit the
use Of the handgun specifically.
OF it is ruled out by minimum
energy specifications. Arms Ex-
pert Pete Brown thinks this is
unfortunate, since you can have
a lot Of fun with the small gun.
But even where it is legal l
would not recommend hunting
With handgun to anyone unless
he is willing to learn the limita-
lions OF his weapon and learn to
shoot 1t effectively. This can't be
done with one trip to the
range 1t takes a lot of practice.
And you must do a good Job of
stalking your game
In an article in Sports Afield
magazine. Brown remarks that
the handgun is not weapon
for running shots although he
doesn't lay down any hard and
fast rules. such a shot depends
on circumstances
Since the hunter is stalking
his game and should have ample
time for careful shot. there is
no reason why he shouldn't take
advantage OF the best position he
can get for more accurate
shooting When shooting from
a standing position, grasp the
right wrist with the left hand
assuming right-handed shoot
err for a steadying influence.
If you can get sitting posi-
ton, with the knees up, grasp the
right wrist with the left hand and
rest bothh arms on your knees. This
makes very steady hold and you
may be surprised at the resulting
accuracy. Don't rest your gun bar
rel over log or limbs is apt to
change the center of impact of
your bullets Brown suggests a g.
or 6 Inch barrel on the big re-
volVers for the average hunter.
The longer barrels may cause you
TO droop some before you get a
shot off.
If you are using a revolver,
cock the hammer before you
start the trigger squeeze. Unless
you do this very carefully, the
clicking may spook your game and
ruin your shot if it is at close
range.
You can do a quieter Job of
cooking if you pull 1.-The trigger
back at the same time you pull
the hammer back with the thumb.
With the hammer all the way
back, release the trigger so it can
go forward and let the scar hold
the hammer. Practice doing this,
because in the heat of shooting
game you are apt TO release the
hammer before you release the
trigger and scare the game by a
premature shot in the dirt.

TENDER is forebodng sound. For it is
in this month that complete freedom dies
for millions of boys and girls, and the
schoolroom curriculum once again demands
its place in their lives.
To youngsters who roamed the hills
with an adventurous spirit during June,
July and August, this confinement often
comes hard. To the freckle-faced lad who
spent his time swimming in that nearby
stream or lake, or hiking through the
woods, or just lying on the bank of some
stream waiting for a fish to bite, looking
up into summer sky, school is the worst
of all of mankinds' inventions.
To most young girls, the catastrophe
of reopening school is not as grave mat
ter. Somehow as is the case with their
mothers, the female sex seems to adjust

Things Of Beauty

There are many things of beauty remember
The songs of birds which come to each Sprn
The tinted trees on hills in late September,
The gracefulness of swallows on the wing
Are things of beauty that remember.
These many lovely things keep and treasure;
The JOY of friendships that with me remain,
Each passing season with its changing measure,
a ranbows glory through falling rain
Are some lovely things keep and treasure
There are memories that keep and cherish
The low setting and its afterglow
Fair poetic dreams that shall never perish
A sweet scented breeze from where roses glow
Are some fond memories that | cherish.

Little Things Count

THOUGH the national budget has grown
: beyond imagination and the deficit has
become real economic menace, little econ
omies here and there can play big part
in bringing the budget into balance. Too
often attention. is focused on reducing the
costs of large operations, and possibilities
of many economies relatively small in size
are overlooked
An example is an announcement by the
General Services Administration that sys-
tenn has been devised requiring T. s. agen-
cies to make only six copies of Government
purchase operations.
To the average layman, six copies might
seem an abundant number, but since many
Government purchases have been requiring
as many as twenty copies of the purchas-
ing order, the six-copy system amounts to
a considerable reduction of red tape

The new system is supposed to replace
operations in various government agencies
and departments. 1t has been predicted
that adoption of the new system would
reduce the number of pieces of paper which
must be handled in all Government purch-
asses by as much as fifty per cent.
Considering the millions of purchase
transactions the Government makes each
year, one does not have to figure very far
to realize that millions of dollars will be
saved by the new system, if it is universally
adopted. 1t is estimated that there arc five
or six million Government purchases any
where from $40 up to many times that
amount. The new purchasing system should
save several dollars or more on most of
these transactions.
Similar economies could effect savings
which in aggregate would be substantial.

mans father could buy farm, send him to
college, or if he had the means to get mar
ried and become father, he could prob
ably evade military service. On the other
hand, for the young man who could not af

President Eisenhower has moved to
eliminate one of these nequities, and we
think this should be only the first move in
a general revision of draft policies-which

This is no less important as a deterrent

The draft, as it now operates in the
United States, is not an equitable system.

farmers and thereby dodge the draft Also,

AyS
Everybody aims at something in
life-everybody, that is. but the
aimless, who don't count. We all
take aim-but at what? When you
pull back the boWstring, or cock
the trigger, and look toward the
target, what do you see in the
bulls eye? What is the very cen
ter. the principal aim OF living?
Some see nothing but the dollar
mark 1t is a mark that can be
hit, and mans aim can be alb
solutely accurate. But the trouble
with money as central aim in
life. is that the more successful
man is in hitting it, the less salts
fled he is likely to be. There are
rich people who are happy; but it
is not true that man grows hap
pier with every dollar he adds to
his pile; it is not true that the
happiest persons in town are the
wealthiest. 1t is generally a fact
that if a person is both rich and
happy. his happiness comes from
other source than his bank account
