scented figures in excess of avail.
able money. The alternatives be.
fore the board were to reject all
bids; eliminate certain portions
of the building: ask the district
for more building money in the

at the centennial celebration of
the Catholic mission in St. Ig.
natius, warned America that
great civilizations are subject to
decay unless they maintain a
guard against it.
The Cardinal told the huge
crowd attending an outdoor mass
that the Indian knows better
than anyone how great civiliza.
lions can quickly fall prey to
decay.
In speaking of his tours of the
now past great Indian civiliza.
tions of South America he said
Americans must be vigilant and
work to make their country a
better and healthier place."
In his sermon, the Cardinal
traced the relationships between
the Catholic church and the In.
dian and how through the work
of Father DeSmet in the Flat.
head Valley the Indians of west.
ern Montana were shown a bet.
ter way of life.

600 persons from throughout

ments presided with the Rev.
Louis Taelman translating the
sermon into the Salish Indian
language.
The greeting Tor the Cardinal
was patterned after that given
Father DeSmet who came from
st. Louis q century ago at the be.
quest of the Flathead people.
The original log cabin church
still stands. The mission has
grown over the years and now
has q larger church as we'll as
