This view was recorded by Msgr.
Thomas f. Mcnamara. director OF
the Boys Guidance Center here, in
an article in The Pilot. Boston
newspaper. MonSignor
Mcnamara appeared before the
Senate subcommittee.
"'It is the obligation Of every
individual who has any contact
with q child to instill in him the
consciousness that he is breath
ing Gods air and accepting Gods
gifts of life, and all its faculties
and is responsible TO that God
for the use of such faculties, :"
Msgr. McNamsra pointed out. His
other observations incIUded:
a renewed consciousness on the
part of parents. that their job is
pretty nearly the most important
in the world, should be the first
step in fashioning any plan to help
the youngSter. This IN many cases
means parent education in how to
bring up child"

forced if necessary, TO consult over

nor said. Surround such youthful
personalities with the licenuous
adult, the preying deViate, the
adult purchaser Of liquor, the over
protecting or oyerindulgent parent
and you have your modern would
be hero of gangland." " he added.
Too many parents blame the
school teachers for the miscon-
duct of their children, he con.
finUed. The schools should not be
blamed for shortcomings when
there are parents who think
gambling on the dogs and horses
is more important than the chill
dren's school cUrrieuIa, and pre-
fer TO spend money in punish
ment rather than in prevention"
Monsignor Mcnamara called for
a return to ''the good homely au-
thority. sanctions with some teeth
in them -. With the return of
such policies we'd have much less
impudence and wise guyism' in
and out of our schools"

Education Policy Deceptive

funds are expended TO give them

all nonpUblic school children be
included, first, .scause they

Constitution, secondly, because

IL for sIIoestins funds TO the va
rious States and hence should

lY, because the school lunch law

for this type of equity"
Msgr. McManus concluded, how
ever, that no reconciliation of dif-
ferences can be reached If Mrs.
Meyer continues TO insist that
priests are puppets of the hier-
archy, that all the Bishops know
is power. and that all Catholics
are united in an insidious cabai to
ruin the public schools
Answering other statements on
parochial schools in Mrs. Meyers
autobiography, Msgr. McManus re-
called that Mrs. Meyer wrote:
Since the prime object of paroch-
ial schools is indoctrination rather
than learning, instruction in the
secular subjects is inevitably a
secondary consideration. Like many
parochlal school graduates today,
Carl (Mrs. Meyers brother) was too
poorly prepared TO pass the en-
trance examination of a first-rate
college !"
Msgr. MeManus commented. ZAP.
parently, her views are based main.

ther's unhappy experience in a Lu
theran parochial school and upon a
few tired, old cliches she has pick
ed up from speeches critical OF

Mrs. Meyer knows anything about
the Commission on American Citi
zenship and its curriculum for
Catholic elementary schools, or
about the standing of Catholic
school students in the New York
Regents Examinations, or about the
Catholic students who are at the
top of their classes in secular in
stitutions. or about the NCWC pro

Writing in the Catholic World
he praised Mrs. Meyers 'topflightf
newspaper stories on social prob
lens but challenged her to do a
reporters job in getting the facts
about Catholic schools and those
who defend their rights
In her autobiography Mrs. Mey-
er, deyoting chapter to her bat
lie" for federal aid to schools, said
that she was shocked" at NCWC
views on equitable federal aid dur
ing Senate hearings on two federal
aid bills. She said that from this
experience she learned the "salu-
tary lesson that the more one
makes concessions to the Catholic
hierarchy, the more they demand" >"
Msgr. McManus, in a point-by-
point study of Mrs. Meyers claims,
asserted:
u Mrs. Meyer. along with the
Bishops, has in the past been op-
posed to federal aid. And for the
same reason mainly because of
fear of federal control, but now
we see its great need and are pre-
pared to take the risk provided the
legislation contains certain essen
tial safeguards. .
p I'VE agree that it is legal and
proper to use public funds for bus
rides. health services and school
lunches furnished to nonpublio
school pupils In fairness to Mrs.
Meyer. / think she could be per
suaded TO campaign for the right
of all school children to receive
these essential services"

Chief Executive Asks That
Observance Be Carried
Out July 5th

Governor j. Caleb, BOggs has
issued a proclamation calling for
the observance of Independence
Day on Monday, July 5, because of
the anniversary date falling on
Sunday this year.
He also urged that citizens
pause in your weekend activities
to give prayerful thought to those
whose wisdom, influence and faith
provided us with the American way
of life which we so dearly cherish.
That it continue to be a model
for the free world to follow is our
most fervent wish"
The chief executive called for a
display of national and state flags
on July 4 and and such exercises
which may be appropriate to the
occasion. He pointed out that "it
is a tribute to the Founding Fa-
theirs that their great inspiration
and declaration of principle was
the basis for a form of constitu-
tiOnal government which today is
the oldest in existence in this

Tax They Are Paying
On Fuel They Consume.

Starting next week Gasoline
pumps throughout Delaware will
display small permanent signs tell
ing the total gasoline tax paid bv
motorists on each gallon they buy.
Mr.. R. S. Zinn, of Wilmington.
Chairman of the Associated Petro-
leum Industries of Delaware. an
nounced today.
The message on the signs will
read: Price Includes z cents Tax on
Each Gallon.
Mr. zinn said Delaware oil men
are posting the Gas Tax Reminders
on service station pumps because
they believe the public needs to be
reminded about the gasoline tax.
Modern computing pumps, which
mix the tax right in with the price
of gasoline, may cause motorists to
overlook or forget about the size
OF that tax" he asserted. But with
Gas Tax Reminders posted on all
pumps, motorists will have their
attention called to this tax every
time they buy gasoline"
Mr.. Zinn explained that oil men
approved the principle of a reason
able state tax on gasoline as a fair
means of paying a just share of road
costs. However, they believe that the
right to tax gasoline should be re-
served exclusively to the states, and
that the federal government should
withdraw from this field, he added.
He further declared that regard
less OF how anyone might feel about
the gasoline tax, no one can dispute
the right of motorists to know how
much it costs them. We feel this
Gas Tax Reminder program is an
important tax educational step for
the people of this state"
He said it was the committees
goal to have the tax Reminders
posted on every gasoline pump in
the state.
It is hoped that Delaware can
join the ranks of the other % states
by having legislation prohibiting
use of the gasoline tax for any pur-
pose other than making our high
ways the best and safest in the land.
