To Look In
On Schools

Parents won't have to jour.
ney to school anymore to
watch their youngsters wrestle
with their studies, for televis-
ion is going to bring the class
room into the home.

day, Diocesan schools will be
featured weekly by Touring
the Town." carried as a public
service program by WBNS-TV.

gram will spotlight the classroom

be featured each week.

tention on st. Mary Magdalene
School. Sister Norma, O.S.F., prin-
cipaI of the school will teach her
eighth grade class.
Sister Ignatius Marie, S.N.D., CO.

things are of more vital concern
TO them than their children"

graphy, and reading will be
taught to the youngsters as the in
structor recreates the classroom
scene. The program will be spon-
taneous rather than rehearsed.

Germany May
Name Vatican
Envoy Soon

BONN, Germany-(NC) - Hope
for the early appointment of a
German ambassador to the Holy
See has been expressed here by
Catholic circles following denials
of press reports that high offic-
ial of the German foreign office
had been named to that post.
Although full diplomatic rela-
tions exist between Germany and
the Holy See, which is represented
by Aloisius j. Mueneh, Bishop of
Fargo. as Nuncio to Germany the
appointment of Germen ambass-
ador has so far been delayed for
various reasons.
Among them is ihe argument
presented by German Protestant
circles that the envoY TO the Holy
See should be, in accordance
with nre-war usage, . Protest
ant. The validity of this srsU-
ment is disputed by most Ger
man Catholics.

In his foreword, Bishop Ready
states 1T is fitting, as the State of
Ohio celebrates its Sesquicenten-

"We could in no better way sur
vey the past and present" the
Bishop continued, than by becom-
ing better acquainted with the Sis
ters who staff<our schools and char
liable institutions. For, it is
through their determination to
keep the heritage of Christian Edu-
cation true to its essential purpose
and their endowment of lives dedi-
Gated to the love of God that our
schools have progressed through
the years. Along with the pioneer
ing parents, hopeful youth and de-
voted pastors, they take an honor
ed place in the panorama of the
faith and sacrifice which inspires
us today"
Reviewing the arrival of various
religious communities into what
was to become the Diocese of Co.
lumbus between 1830-1868. the
Bishop pointed out, From the out
set, an interest in multiplying the
number of schools in the Diocese
was manifested. A real impetus to
attendance in the parochial schools
was given in the publication of the
statutes of the Diocesan Synod of
1872 with an insistence on the OBJ
legation Of attending Catholic
schools"
Concerning some of the prob
lens encountered, Bishop Ready
stated ''The lack of funds and the
shortage of teaching personnel has
never daunted the spirit of those

The gist of Mr.. Harsch's explain
alton is this:
Government officials, seeking to
protect their departments and bu-
reaus from Senator McCarthy's
attacks. have increasingly resort
ed to the practice of employing
Catholics as security and person
mel officers. THE sequel is that
the proportion of Roman Cathos
lies included in dismissals is low
and the proportion of Protestants
high"
Mr.. Harsch said inquiries by
this reporter have failed to find
single Roman Catholic among
officials dismissed from the State
Department. A Protestant com
pilation of dismissals from the
Foreign Operations Administra-
ton indicates that 80 per cent of
all dismissals are Protestants and
that many of the 20 per cent of
dismissed Roman Catholics were
subsequently reabsorbed into the
service
This compilation" does not ap-
parently allow for any Jews hav-
ing been dismissed.

and security officers here. They

considerable number. Standard

In some personnel and security
offices, the chief did not know

Diocese To Pray For
Unity OF Christendom

The 46th annual observance OF
the Chair of Unity Octave, an
eight-day period of prayer and in
tercession that God will grant to
those outside the fold of Peter the
grace of unity of faith, will be
made throughout the Diocese of
Columbus beginning Jan. Is and
ending on Jan. 25.
Inaugurated in 1908, the Chair
of Unity Octave is observed every
year throughout the world. 1t be-
gan at an Anglican community at
Graymoor, near Garrison, n Y,
where the friars prayed that Chris
tian unity might be achieved
throughout the world.
Receiving the true faith the fol
lowing year through the grace of
Almighty God, the practice begun
by the tiny group in heresy receiv-
ed the blessing of Pope Plus X.
In 1916, the observance was ex-
tended to the four corners of the
world by Pope Benedict XIV, who
also enriched ii with the treasures
of indulgence.
Catholics may gain a plenary in
diligence once a month, provided
they recite the octave prayers dai-
ly, and other conditions for the in
diligence are present. A plenary
indulgence is also granted every
time during the octave that the
faithful shall recite the prayers for
unity, and, in addition, a 300 days
indulgence may be received every
day of the octave provided the
same prayers are said at least
with a contrite heart.
The daily intentions of the oc-
tave are:
Jan. 10 Feast of st. Peters
Chair at Rome. The return of all
the "other sheep" to the one fold
of ST. Peter, the one shepherd.
Jan. 19-The return of all 0ri-
entail separatists TO communion
with the Apostolic See.
Jan. 20-The submission of An
glicans TO the authority of the vi
car of Christ.
Jan. 21-That the Lutherans and
all other Protestants of Continental
Europe may find their way back
To Holy Church "
Jan. % - That Christians in
America may become one in com
munion with the Chair of st. Peter.
Jan. 23-The return to the sac
raments of lapsed Catholics.
Jan. 24-The conversion of the
Jews.
Jan. 25-Feast of the Conversion
of st. Paul. The missionary con-
guest of the world for Christ.

Polish Bishops
Oath Was Not
A Surrender

NEW YORK - NL) - A prom
inent Polish scholar in the US
has pointed out that the taking oi
an oath under pressure by the Pol
ish Bishops does not mean that tho
Church there has surrendered tC
the communist regime
In a letter to the editor of The
New York Times Oscar Haleck
emphasized that this conclusion
would only achieve the aims OF
communist propaganda and be
"eminentiy unfair" to the Polish
Hierarchy.
DR.. Halecki wrote the letter on
behalf Of the Polish Institute oi
Arts and Sciences in America, an
organization founded in 1912 tc
spread correct information on Pol
ish culture. A prominent Catholic
layman and historian, DIR. Halecki
is professor of eastern European
history at Fordham University

They are five games behind New

the chances are remote.
The White Sox's recent record,
however, shows eight victories in
their last 10 starts and a highly re-
spectacle .642 percentage. That's a
better average than any White Sox
team has attained since 1917 and
would have beaten the Yankees out
