The Bishops emphasized that the
tyranny Of atheistic msterialism
can come in the form of commun-
ism or as goddess humanism They
said: we need. first of all, TO
identity our enemy: 10 recognize
it for what it really is" And they
warned: IF our nation is to escape
the fate of Poland and Of China, of
Jugoslavis and of Hungary, and of
so many others. if We are to survive
as free Christian nation, then We
must be clear-eyed and We must

reminded, is neeessify, but

The Bishops said that in recent

that in the last few years, there

Collection
Sunday Will
Aid Pontiff

A Christmas gift for the
Holy Father and financial sup
port for the Catholic Univer-
sity of America will be the
goal of a special collection to
be taken up throughout the
Columbus Diocese Sunday.
In scheduling the annual collec-
ton in the diocese on the First
Sunday of Advent. Bishop Ready,
in letter to all pastors, cited the
"great demands which are made
upon the financial resources of the
Holy See from desperate peoples
in all parts of the world"
The collection also is important
to Catholic U University Bishop
Ready asserted, adding that the in
tellectual training it has given to
thousands of priests and lay men
and women has greatly enriched
the Catholic life of the nation.
Responsible, moral leadership
In all areas of national activity
is an important factor If the Uni
ted States is TO fulfill its destiny
in the family of nations" the
bishop declared. "lt is Just this
type OF citizen which the Catholic
University in Washington is edv-
eating for our country. II is
great patriotic work TO which ell
of US should be dedicated"
Contributions, he added, will
supply the physical resources nee
essary for Catholic University to
maintain its high standards and
continue its splendid record among
institutions of learning in America.
Usually scheduled annually, the
collection was not taken in the
diocese in 1853 because of the
nationwide fund campaign to COM

The full text of the statement
by the American Hierarchy fol-
lows:
We, the Bishops of the United
States, cannot adjourn our meet
ing here without a statement of
protest against persecution and a
word of consolation to all who suf-
fer. A year ago our thoughts were
with the prosecuted of Eastern Eu-
rope, long afflicted and much tried.
Today we add to these the people
of Vietnam and its neighbor ma
tions who most recently have come
upon days of disaster and now face
the persecution so often known in
the Church of Christ.
We cannot end this meeting
which has been held in the free
dom of our beloved country with
out a plea to all who love justice
and hate iniquity that they will
stand with us in prayer and in
protest; in prayer for the afflict-
ed; in protest against misuse of
power. For we cannot be so blind
as to imagine that Asia or Europe
stands alone. Rather there seems
to be master plan of oppression,
world wide. In it, We of America
are included by intent as others
elsewhere are included in grim
reality.
The grim reality is that men are
in prison, men are broken, fani-
lies live in fear or are disrupted,
nations are threatened or under at
tack. The grim reality is that such
oppression is an attempt 10 break
mems faith in God or to divide
men from their Savior or their
Church.
We pray then that God will
restrain the fYrant and relieve
fhe anguish Of the afflicted. We
beg our Catholic people 10 cher
ish we'll the blessings of freedom
they enjoy and 10 pray fsrvsntly

Three Fair Prizes

Three blue ribbons were won
at the Noble county fair by Very
Rev. B. j. Mates, on three anti
queS he himself at one time used.
The one was a smoke pipe that
he used over so years ago. 1t is
over three feet long, and the
bowl is seven inches long. 1t was
imported from Bavaria. The
stem is made Of Weixel wood,
and the decorations are made
of deer horn. Tobacco used in it
had to be imported from Bav-
aria, because American tobacco
was too finely cut, and would
draw into the stem.
Another article was foot
warmer he used when travelling
by cart and buggy to his Mission.
1t is made of metal, and covered
with carpet. The inside container
burns charcoal for heat, and
stayed warm about II hours. CA
far cry from the convenience of
the modern heater in cars.)
The other article was a twirl-
er, made by his grandfather, and
carved out of wood. It was used
instead of a potato masher to
break up peas and beans. 1t is
twirled by rolling between the
palms of the hands.
