total of 1,523,218 inquiries have
been made and 144,323 persons
have enrolled for instructions as
the result of the Knights of Co.
lumbus advertising campaign re-

tholic Faith, according to latest sta
tistics compiled at X. of c. head
quarters here.
Supreme knight Luke f. Hart
said that during the week ending
March IL, a total of e,805 inquiries
were received and 1,101 persons
enrolled for instruction, while for
the week ending on March 10,
10,423 inquiries were received
and 1923 persons were en-
rolled The X. of c. campaign is
carried on through advertisements
explaining the teachings of the
Catholic Church in the nations
leading secular magazines and
newspapers.
Beyond any question this is the
greatest apostolic endeavor ever
undertaken both in its magnitude
and its results" commented Su-
preme Knight Hart.

we usually act as if everybody had
gone stone deaf, or at least was too
stupid to be capable of graSping
anything not pounded into him.
The tendency of the inexperienced
craftsman is TO shout. to scream,
TO wave his arms and stomp his
feet, to overState and everyday and
overwrite everything.
People who want to communicate
successfully have to learn not to
do that. They must discover that
people are neither deaf nor stupid,
and that the most effective method
of getting across message, dra-
ma, story or even a joke IS. to
give it just the right amount of
force.
| know that television is young,
and | suppose that a great many of
the people in it are young. There
fore | have hopes for it. Young
people can learn; even older peo-
pie can learn. But certainly televi-
sion will not be what it ought to be
until it learns the delicate touch,
the fine nuance, the deft approach.
And if that is to come, | imagine
that those in charge of television
will have to start with their writ
ers and directors.
Television is an art of close
ups. 1t loses effectiveness almost
in exact proportion as it widens
and deepenS its perspective. The
screen is too small for that, except
in glimpseS and suggestions. Now
an art of cloSe-ups calls forsan al
most surgical skill.
Television, unlike the movies
and the theater, cannot afford even
touch of crudity. Awkwardness
and over-emphasiS that might pass
unnoticed, or hardly-noticed, on
the stage or screen, are glaringly
offending in teleyision. Television,
Al ~ 10 1GdllS W cu1NEGug must DC-
come surer, DETER and more ex-
sctingly artistic than either Holly
wood or Broadway But as of now,
it is by comparison often overdone
and laundering.
| think that those who write for
lteleyiSion, or direct its produc-
tions, ought to think of their art as
the quiet art. The serene, intimate
drama or entertainment-that is
the ticket for television.
TV is no place for the raising
of voices, the wringing of hands,
the uttering of shrieks and loud
sobbings or laughter Television
ought almost to take the hand of
the beholder and hold that hand
throughout, like a doctor with a
good bedside manner. like a mother
quietly telling a small child a story
at bedtime.
l think TV is entirely on the
wrong track with its crime and So
cial-problem plays, its vaudeville
and so on. The best program
have ever seen was Charles Laugh
ton quietly giving readings from
classics For what it is worth, |
give my opini0n-television ought
TO be the Quiet Art.

A beautiful. shiny-eyed girl Of
II was the center of attention
as she uttered a prayer in the
last century at an open-air re-
vival meeting in the mountains
of Wales.
The bell-like voice Of Rahel
Paynter swept over the hilltop,
her spirituality and beauty cap
turing the minds and hearts of
her hearers in the great awak-
ening Of Baptist evangelism.
From that day Rahel Paynter
was to become a spiritual force
in Wales. and later in the United
States. endearing herself to
thousands before whom she
preached the gospel.
Rahel Paynter came to the
United States just after the Civil
War at the invitation of Amer
lean Welsh societies. Wherever
this extraordinary woman went,
her poetic exaltation Of God and
the eternal verities captivated
her audiences, whether in the
dismal coal mine towns of Wales
or the sin-ridden frontier towns
Of the American West.
Wed by Wagon Builder.
She was wooed by Edward Da-
vies, a prosperous builder of
Conestoga-type wagons in Wis
consin. They married in the
early 1S7Os and settled in Water
town, Wis,
This is the woman in whose
memory her son. Joseph E. Da-
vies, former United States AM
bassador to Moscow and Bel
gium. has presented to the Ma
tional Cathedral a 50-foot
stained glass window set in the
west wall of the Baptistry.
The inscription reads simply:
I'm thanksgiving to God for the
lives of Rahel O'Fon and Edward
Davies" Rahel O'Fon was the
name in Welsh conferred upon
Mrs. Davies by the Association of
Ancient DruidS.
A private dedication ceremony
will be held at the Cathedral at
2::30 pm. tomorrow.
In 1887. when Mr.. Davies was
a boy of IL, his father was
stricken and died suddenly on
visit to Europe and Wales.
Mother and son returned to the
United States to make their
home in Watertown, Wis. From
there his mother, ordained
Baptist minister, made trips to
Welsh settlements all over the
country to preach the gospel.

tuary on Thomas circle and es-
tablished it as their national
