The Big Brushoff
Each night before you wind UP
the day you ought to straighten
your accounts with God. That is
another way of reminding you that
an examination of conscience
should be part of your night pray,
ers. II is a must if you actually
want to keep your accounts
straight and discover how you are
doing. We ought to tell God at
least once day that we are sor-
ry we don't use all the actual grace
He sends us.

Stsrd Behind II
One of the things that gives a
person very bad name happens
when a character breaks a prom
Use. That's murder. 1t can get to
be a habit, quick as a wink. 1t is
mighty easy to say 'yes" rather
than mo-, but if a person doesn't
mean to keep the promise it would
be much better if he said mo" in
the first place. Perhaps psychiat-
rists have special name for it,
but it adds up to something that
doesn't spell successful popularity
in anybody's book
For Future Reference
When both persons in mar
riage agree, neither is selfish.

that you ought to read through

will strengthen your faith.
IFS You Again
The difference between an Incl
dent and a disaster is whether 1t
happened to you.
a Few Seconds
There are about five weeks left
for swimming, so please bear with
this. At the breakfast table the
other day | was talking about va
cations TO another priest who was
about to hunt up road map. He
said that swimming was out, so
he wouldn't bother about a cottage.
II turned out that he is one of
the few persons alive who ever
spent any time at the bottom of
Lake Michigan. II was a stomach
cramp that did him under, and the
immediate action of his older
brother brought him to the surface.
Please, take il easy when you go
swimming. Be sure to have some
one stand guard for quick res
cue. A few seconds count.

BIG LEAGuERS
There has been lot of talk
about giving special presents to
ball players who are making
enough TO support themselves, II
is getting to be rather common.
For that reason it is refreshing to
learn that Monte irwin, Hank
Thompson, and Don Mueller are
doing some shelling out each time
they hit homerun this season.
They have pledged themselves to
contribute 10 the Waiter Springs
Memorial Scholarship at Regis Col
lege in Denver each time they clout
one for home run. Happy land
ing, boys. You are real Giants.
Pass II Along
The greatest Joy on earth is to
bring Joy to others.
CAUTION
Over year ago we told you
about the policy announced by
some of the movie men who said
that they we're fed up with making
pictures that we're so clean that any
child could see them. 1t appears
that some parents thought we were
just trying to fill up space. Now
that the hierarchy has acted par
ents are beginning to be aIerted.
Let's face the facts. Pictures are
going to be bolder and bolder; they
have to be more daring than the
worst stuff on television to pile
up money in the box office. Keep
away from movies; there is no
commandment that requires one TO
sit through sin at cinema. When
filth doesn't pay, we shall get
some really good movies. Nix on
sin,
