lieves the Government consid-

The Saint OF The Week

Practically any Catholic in the
world would tell you without a bit
of hesitation that Friday, March
10. is st. Joseph Day. II is com
forting to note that even the name
Joseph is still one of the favorites
when ii comes to naming baby
boys. st. Joseph had q mighty job
on earth, for it was he who gave
his trade to the Son of God, and
it was his manner of speech that
the Boy Jesus initiated. He not on
ly provided for the upkeep of the
Holy Family, he held the authority
as the head of the house. Pray to
St Joseph for your father, and
initiate his manliness if you want
to be a man after the Heart of
Christ.

world these past five years.
Attention Ceffers
There is usually one of these lit
tie characters in each class. They
are the boys and girls who are al
ways getting into scrapes. II is
too bad that there are little souls
like these, but there is one consola-
tion about it, they usually grow
out of it if they live long enough.
1t is case of immaturity, and it
is the only way they can claim
attention. Parents and teachers
make noyenas for them, and hope
for the best. Perhaps the only cure
for them is to trust that some day
they will sit down and think things
out and discover much to their sur
prise that they would get more last
ing attention by just growing up
and accepting the responsibilities
that they should carry with their
years. Some saints started out that
way, but they learned in time.
Black Beauty
This morning proud father told
me about the special and glorious
change that has come over his teen
age son. II seems that Junior fell
in love with special type of black
shoe that he had to crack his bank
account for. Since he bought the
shoes he has acquired the industri-
Gus habit of polishing them at least
three times day. There is a spe-
cial kind of rivalry going on in his
neighborhood to see how much
gloss a fellow can walk around on.
Both the father and | silently hope
that it may develop into a shine
wave.
Thought For The Weak
One of the best ways to fight
temptation is to take several long
strides in the opposite direction.
