This Marian Year it is very sim
pie for us TO try to appreciate
Easter through the eyes of the
Blessed Lady. If we are to get the
true meaning Of the greatest feast
of the year we have to ask the
Mother OF God TO give us some idea
Of what the day meant to her. For
all of US il ought to be the day
of great realization of what eternal
life means. If we remain in the
state of grace al through life the
day of our death will be the begin
ming of eternal Easter. My wish is
one of great hope for you.

US. Army Digs
Ground For New
German Parish

FRANKFURT, Germany (NC) -
The worries of 5000 Catholics in
the new parish of Gross-Linden,
near Giessen, are over-thankS to
the United States Army.
The parishioners, most OF them
expellees and refugees, had decid-
ed to build their own church. They
had the land but were much dis
couraged when the experts told
them that it would take at least
two months to dig the foundations
with Shovels and picks and carry
the dirt and stones away in wheel
barrOWS
Somebody suggested an appeal
for help to an American Army de-
tachment stationed near by. And
the help came soon in the form of
a steam shovel and small fleet
of dump trucks. In five days, the
whole Job of digging was done and
the maSonS could start their work
of laying the foundations for the
new church.

Tact, n Is Wonderful

Tact is the natural ability 10
deal wisely with others or the skill
to say or do the appropriate thing.
Perhaps you have it or are on the
way of acquiring it. Let's hope so,
at least. If ii isn't natural, You will
have TO make few little mistakes
before you get your diploma, but
the effort will be worthwhile
even with few boo-boos along the
way. These characters who pride
themselves on being frank hurt
more than they help, and we are
supposed 10 help others. Let's work
on it as a post-Lenten project.

On The Move

On me move
From two distant spots, Alex
andria, Indiana, and Boston, Mass,
| have gotten word that there are
Pilgrim Statues of Our Lady max
ing the rounds night after night
in Catholic homes. The Notre Dame
Sisters at ST. Mary's Parish School
in Alexandria promised to honor in
al special manner so they got a
beautiful statue of Mary and then
got one of the friends of Our Lady
TO make shrme-caIrying case
and left the rest up to the children.
Each night the Pilgrim Virgin" is
honored in a different home, and
she becomes the guest of honor.
There are special family Rosary
devotions, flowers and all the rest.
1t sounds great, and the idea should
spread.
You Are Not Through
Even though Lent is over, you
should not toss all forms of pen
ance out the window. II you don't
practice doing something difficult
each day, your will power will be
as weak as present-day coffee.
Thought For the Weak
If people began putting money
on human beings instead of on
horses, there would be more chance
Of winning.

Fleet
Worries
New England
BY HENDRIX CHANDLER

PASCAGOULA, Miss. "a A
Southern migration of the New
England fishing feet is adding a
new economic worry to that sec
ton, already concerned over loss
of some Of its textile industry.
Segmenks Of the fishing fleet, a
vital part Of the economy Of New
England coastal cities for many
years. are moving to shrimping
grounds in the Gulf of Mexico.
During the past four months the
Massachusetts, fishing centers of
New Bedford and Gloucester in
particular have seen some of their
fish and scallop draggers head for
the Gull.
What Is causing this southwark
migration?
Three Gloucester fishing cap
tains who left recently to take I'D
shrimp fishing at Gulf Shores. Ala.
blamed their troubles ON foreign
composition, particularly from
Canada, and low profits on
Catches. High insurance rates have
been given as another cause.
One OF the Gloucester shippers,
Tony Frontiero, said:
II can't see any profit there. I
only paid an income tax of $50
last year. I have paid as much as
IS, TOO on one year. It is time to
gut"
The Gloucester fishing CAPTAINS
said in Alabama operating ex.
penSes would be less and there
would be no foreign competition.
New Bedford has seen more than
20 OF its vessels, valued at several
million dollars, leave for ports in
Florida, Alabama and Texas. I'm
less they return, New Bedford said.
several allied industries dependent
upon the fishing feet may be hard
hit.
But at New Bedford, there was
a feeling that with arrival of
warmer weather. these vessels
might head back. New England
fleets normally do better financial
ly in the summer. In the Gulf, the
IfaA and winter months usually are
the best.
Some, like Capt. Jens Larsen of
New Bedford, operator of the So.
foot Cannot, found that the larger
New England fishing boats couldn't
operate as profitably in the Gulf
as do the smaller fishing vessels,
and have talked Of going back to
New England.
Gulf Coast shrimpers. apprehen-
sive over the new competition,
haven't welcomed the newcomers
with open arms. They said supplies
of shrimp aren't sufficient to take
care Of the existing fleet.
