The Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey. which, like the Coast Guard.
goes on year after year doing
q bang-up job for yachtsmen
with q minimum of fanfare, is
offering the first Chesapeake
Bay chart printed on both sides
of q single sheet of paper.
Not only does this mean two
charts for the price of one. but
It eliminates that search for the
next chart when you have run
of the first one. Just turn over
the chart, skipper, and thar she
be. The area subject to this
new experiment-new at least
for the CheSapeake-takes in the
York, Pamunkey and Mattaponi
Rivers, all in Virginia. They are
charts Nos. 495 and 496.
Rear Admiral Robert Knox,
assistant director of the survey,
explained that the back-to-back
idea would be used only where
the combined charts form COM
plete entity. For instance, the
four major charts making up
the Chesapeake Bay from it's
head to Hampton Roads would
be printed in a series of COM
bined charts. The same applies
to the four in the Potomac River
series.
However, there are two charts
that could very well lend them
selves to the back-to-back
treatment. They are the small
scale charts Of the bay, No. II
covering the upper bay and No.
70 covering the lower.

and there are some fine fish to
be caught.
AS you go out River road
toward Route 112 on the way
to Seneca you'll see a sign on
the left pointing to SWANS Lock
road. Follow down the narrow
road and you'll come to SWANS
Lock where you can rent boats
for fishing the brakes below SEN
eca. This is some of the best
bass water in the Potomac, but
you should be able to pole q boat
to fish 1t comfortably unless you
have a canoe.
Another still nearer the stretch
of the finest small-mouth bass
water is the section below Great
Falls down to the top of the
feeder dam above Little Falls. No
boats that we know of can be
rented for fishing this stretch,
however. so you'd need your own
car-top boat. It is tricky water
in places and a portion of the
river for inexperienced boatmen
to stay strictly away from in our
opinion, although easily boated
by those with the know-hoW.
Some excellent bass are caught
each year just below Great Falls
in fishing of the rocks. Also
this is one Of the sportiest places
we know of In which to take
channel cats, and they are plen-
tiful.
You'll need either q Maryland
Fishing License, Statewide,
which costs non-residents $40, or
you can purchase a season license
for fishing only the Potomac for
SITS. Children under IA need
no license to fish anywhere in
Maryland. The daily limit of
bass is 10 and the minimum legal
! length 10 inches.

OUTDOORS.

If you'd care to fish for small
mouth black bass up the Poto-
mac this week end, here are a
few nearby points at which boats
and excellent bass water may be
found.
Perhaps the most popular
starting point on the upper Po-
tomac is Seneca. Md. It is far
enough away to satisfy that
longing for other folks pastures,
yet near enough to be easily
reached by auto. Go out Wis
consin ave. and follow Route 240
to Rockville, then Route % to
DarneSville, turning left there
onto Route 112 to Seneca. Or
you can turn left off Wisconsin
ave. just past SearS-Roebuck's s
onto River road. Continue
through Potomac, Md. to Es-
worthy road. then to junction
with Route l12; turn left to
Seneca. Just before you come to
Seneca Greek, turn left again on
the macadam road and drive
down along the creek, to the end
of the road If you wish.
You'll see plenty Of places to
rent boats, with or without mo-
tors. bait for sale, sandwiches,
soft drinks. etc. The Potomac
lies ahead of you and you'll pass
under a famous old conduit Of
the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal
on your way out into the river.
If you have a motor, and you
should really have, you have
about eight miles upriver ahead
with fishing all the way, or you
can head over toward the feeder
dam below and fish along in
deep water. Either live bait or
artificials Of all sorts are used,

Whether the proposed amend
ments will come to vote, or how
the votes will be cast are still mat
ters that cannot be ascertained at
the present time However, there
is currently much discussion on
these amendments both in the
United States and in Colombia.
The first of these proposals pro-
Vides that non-Catholic worship
and activity be confined to church
buildings. Assembly in the open,
in homes or in other buildings, as
we'll as the use of the press or ra-
dio for anti-Catholic presentations
is forbidden TO these groups. The
second, while allowing for private
schools for non-Catholic groups,
states that official education shall
be organized and directed in ac-
cordance with the teachings of the
Roman Catholic religion"
To get a good picture of the sit
uation in Colombia, one must be
aware of several facts.

Chaplain Says York "Cets In Your Blood

On another festive occasion, $50 of

Work To Begin
On 4-ClassrOOm
School Addition

: Construction on two-story, four
classroom addition to Immaculate
Conception School will begin this
week, following the award of con-
tracts.
Plans for the 100000 addition
were drawn by architect Louis F..
Karlsberger. The Trapp Construc-
tion Co. has been awarded the
construction contract.
Plans call for an Lshaped addi-
ton on the north and east sides
of the building, containing four
classrooms and an all purpose
room. The all purpose room will
contain kitchen and cafeteria and
will also serve as the school audi
torium.
AT the same time, the schools
heating and lavatory systems will
be completely revamped.
Work will be completed on the
project on the first of February,

the idea, If you succeed in teach
ing them one idea Sunday, and
one prayer month-then that is
real progress"
Four boys even learned the Latin
responses at Mass, and served for
him regularly. But Father McCon-
vile is at the moment selecting
four more boys for this training
since the old servers are going
home. In the past three years,
about 700 patients have learned
some sort of work at the school,
and have returned to society to
work in special jobs.
Another example of his patient
training is found in the case of a
27-year-old spastic who is learning
Catechism with the aid of a type
writer. The young man, who is
unable to control his muscle reflex
es, manages TO punch the type
writer with his thumb.
Thus, a typical instruction ses-
sion finds Father McConville asking
the questions, and the student, who

"The Catholic Church does not
take part in these organizations or
in their assemblies or conferences.
She does not enter into any organ
ization in which the delegates of
many sects sit down in council or
conference as equals to discuss
the nature of the Church of Christ
or the nature OF her unity, or to
propose to discGss how to bring
about the unity of Christendom, or
to formulate a program of united
Christian action"
Emphasizing that the Roman Ca
tholic Church is 1.-The one and only
Church of Christ" the Cardinal
continued:
"She does not allow her chill
dren TO engage in any activity Of
conference or discussion based
upon the false assumption that
Roman Catholics too are still
searching for the truth OF
Christ.
For to do so would be to admit
that she is but one of the many
forms in which the true Church
of Christ may or may not exist i. !.
such an admission she can never
make, for she is now as she has
always been, the one and only
Spouse of Christ, the one and only
Mystical Body of Christ, the one
and only Church of Christ"
There is only one way to unity
of all Christians and that is
through the Roman Catholic
Church, Cardinal Stritch declared,
stating:
Nov this unity, clear and OBJ
viovs as If is, exists in the
Church of Christ today II is
found in the Roman Catholic
Church and in her alone. She
and she alone is the true Church
OF Jesus Christ. There is only
one way TO the unity SO anxiousIy
sought by some men. That is the
entrance into the fold Of the
Church of Christ, participation
in her life, submission without
reserve to her teaching and rul-
ing authority"

COLOGNE - NC = The
right and duty of the Church
to inform the public regarding
the moral and spiritual value
of motion pictures was reaf-

Catholic film evaluation,

producers as well as parents
and educators and all film
viewers to protect themselves
against the dangers to their faith,
and to spiritual and moral values
generally, that arise from films
harmful to Christian and human
dignity.
In making this appeal, the Catho-
lie Film Office said it felt itself
also supported by millions of non
Catholic film viewers, particularly
those anxious to perserve the sane
tity of family life.

Bernard of Luxembourg, reflect

thoIic Film Office, rejected
charges that cathol'e film eval-

Nothing in Christianity is mega
tive, Father Bernard said, adding
that tim evaluation contains a pos
tive element for the producers,
who should realize that such eval-
uation contributes toward building
up a type of customers demanding
new and better films and ready to
support them.
Catholic film evaluation. Father
Bernard added. constitutes also for
