Will, President
Urges Nation

WASHINGTON. ID. C.--lNC1
= No matter what lies ahead.
may this nation "be strong and
courageous and wise in the
doing Of our task in accord
with the Divine will"
And following these words
from his speech, President
Eisenhower lit the 67-foot Ma
tional Community Christmas
Tree, opening the Pageant Of
Peace being held in park be-
tween the White House and the
Washington Monument here.
Father John B. Roeder, vice
chancellor Of the Archdiocese Of
Washington, closed the program
with benedietion.
Father Roeder, terming Christ
the True Light, prayed that those
who today follow The True Light
will continue to do so and that each
day there will be others who also
will see in Him the only True
Light"
The Chief Executive, obviously
directing much of his brief speech
to the Iron and Bamboo Curtain
countries, said that in this Christ
mastide mans unquenchsble hope
for peace burns brighter than for
many years"
However. the President pointed
out, this hope is blemished by
some brutal facts"
Oppression. privatien, cruel

posed by inhuman masters on

manki, d." he said.
The President said that these
crimes must not be forgotten. for
to forpet is TO condnne and to pro
woke new outrage -
Neither dare We forget our
blessings, he continued. "To count
them is to gain new courage and
new strength, firmer patience
under test and q stouter faith in
the decency of mankind and in the
+ providence of God"
Turning his attention TO coun-
tries that stand against the United
States, in fear or in ignorance OF
of our intention" the President
said they know, as we'll As We.

The anguish and heroic courage
Of the Nietnsmese Catholics also
has made front page news through
out the world. But their experience
es merely reflected the difficulties
and sufferings Of millions of fel.

calling for daily heroism in the

Faith.
The Catholics in commUnist-eon-

God was scoffed and their sacred
beliefs were mocked with impuni-

the fact that constant indocfrina-

and left chasm between them
selves and their offspring.
Hundreds Of the more talented
and better instructed Catholic lay
people in Vietnam were carted off

These sufferings Of the Yietnam-

In addition about half the

This represents one Of the larg-
est shipments received by the Mis-
sion Board this year from dioceses
throughout the country.
The medicine and supplies had
been gathered from surplus and
sample stocks of local doctors and
hospitals, chiefly by st. Mary of
the Springs College students and
students of the ST. Francis School
of Nursing.
Included in the shipments we're
such items as booster vitamins,
prepared formulas for infants,
splints and braces. In addition, the
diocesan office also sent four OPP
Grating tables, a large number of
surgical instruments and operating
lamps.
Another hsIf-ton of medical
equipment was sent from this
diocese TO mission hospitals in
fhe Belgian Congo in answer TO
direct requests from the mission
aries in that area Of the world.
A total of 134.579 pounds-or
over 81 tons-of medical supplies
were shipped to the missions in
1854, according to the annual re-
port of the Mission Board.
Father Edward Garesche, ST.,
president and director. presented
the report of the work to the mem
bers of the board. A total OF 1O3

Another source Of help which
the board acknowledged is the 500
Blue Cross Circles all over the
country where the members make
bandages. dressings, and clothing
for the sick, They also gather in
struments and sample medicine for
the missions
The report said that these Blue
Cross Circles ordered through the
office of the Board $4,000 wards
of gauze, enough to make 368. 900
congresses.
Father Garesche and his assist
ants investigate each new medical
discovery to see if it can be used
in the mission areas.
Last year over 100000 tab
lets of DDS, the remedy for lep-
rosy, were sent TO the Missions,
the report said. Also enough
darspin was sent TO treat $4,000
cases Of malaria. 2,000, 900 Ison-

He has no outside power (of which
he knows) to call upon to help him.
He must help himself, or he is un-
done. as they used to say in books.
Every bird of every species, except
few foolish starlings or waddly pigeons,
seeks refuge, either under caves OF
houses. or preferably in trees and
shrubs.
Smaller evergreens, such as are ia
vorites for foundation planting, offer
the best shelter.
If one had x-ray eyes, he could see
the birds clustered in such places, hold
ing on easily, because the muscles are
SO adjusted that the harder the wind
blows. the tighter the claws hold.
Part of this firm grip is due to the
rounded form of the branches, pro-
vision of nature that seems ideally
aimed to help birds.
It may be that nothing of this was
planned. but that all simply fitted to-
gether. and the Lord called it good.
The birds clutch their claws over
the branch. point their bills into the
wind, and stay put.
Few are ever found on the ground
after storm, as our correspondent
says.
Foremost among physical measures
for their protection is good food and
plenty of 1t. Nature also sees to this,
except in sleet storms, when all-nat-
ural foods are covered with a coat of
ice

A Model Heorinq

The testimony received by the Watkins
committee, which has now concluded the
public phase of it's work, will not satisfy
every one that Senator Mccarthy should, or
should not, be censured. This proceeding
does prove, however, that it is possible to
conduct a Senate hearing expeditiously,
fairly and with appropriate dignity.
Credit for this goes primarily to Sen
ator Watkins and his fellow committee
members. It was clear from the beginning
