The fourth, and probably the

Well, old news Hurricane Con-

vacations homeward bound, and
other hopefuls like your cores
pondent were hesitant to start on
one.
The weather was certainly sad
on Friday but we were determ-
ined to go on some sort of a
vacation or Dust. Rain pouring
but spirits high, the Miles family
took off to spend the weekend
on the farm of Mr.. and Mrs.
Philip Watkins at Cedar Grove.
The next day word came by
carrier pigeon that there was a
sight to behold on Sycamore
Landing Road near Seneca-that
word being "15 and 18 pound
carp swimming down the road"
What excitement to the fisher
men in the family-so off we
went, and believe it or not we
saw carp swimming in the road.
Your correspondent still think
ing about swimming in the ocean,
proceeded to get out of the car,
got in the water up to her ankles
with a board in her hand, and
gave a childs boot to her sister,
and said, I'll hit one over the
head and you get it in the boot"
We tried and tried and of course
we failed, but we had the pleas
ure at least of getting our feet
J wet.
To bring this tale to an end,
we would like to say that even
though we never got to the ocean,
the Miles family certainly had a
wonderful weekend, and saw a

Whether or not Carl Sandburg

on this. his 10th birthday. your
reporter does not know. He has
lighted enough flames in his life-
time to get along without the
dim flicker of candles on a cake.
Some weeks ago, coming back
on a plane from Europe. Carol
Binder, editor of the Minneapo-
lis Tribune, was talking about
his early days in Chicago when
Sandbure, Lloyd Lewis, Ben
Heciit. Ashton Stevens. Sher-
wood Anderson and Clarence
Darrow were enlivening that city.
Lewis was wonderful practi-
cal joker. !. recalled Binder, land
one of his classics was played
on Sandburg. A group Of them
were weekending at a place out
side Chicago. At the time. Sand
burg was doing a lot of research
on Lincoln, so to get away from
the reyeiry Of his comrades, Carl
preferred to go out in the fields
and get himself into the mood
to understand Lincoln.

Lewis. He persuaded Hecht or
one of the other madcaps to
don a frock coat, tall silk hat
and a shawl. AT dusk. as Sand
burg was sitting on a tree stump,

figure walk slowly by. Carl came

unSolved and with Father Barry,
the fledgling labor priest"
hanging on to his ideals for dear
life, determined to find a solu-
tion but very uncertain as to the
when and the how.
Wandering and Wondering
Something of miracle man in
the movie, Father Barry is re-
duced to human proportions in
the novel. When last seen, he is
returning TO his rectory, after
lonely midnight stroll along
the river front, wondering when
and where ne will ever find
enough allies - enough jealous
laymen-- to do the job of social
reform which they alone can do.
AS a priest, he can inspire them,
teach them, encourage them;
but after that, it is up to them
TO do the job on their own initia-
tive and in their own fumbling
way. Will there ever be enough
of them?
This question remains unan-
Swered as Father Barry turns in
for the night - in the final SEN
tence of the novel - and it re-
mains unanswered In real life,
not only on the New York wa
terfront but wherever else there
is work TO be done in the field
of social reform.
Some Ponderins, Too
As coincidence would have ii,
that Is the question which took
up most of the time at the Ma
tional Catholic Social Action
Conference held in Cleveland,
Ohio, Sept. TO, under the auSpie-
es of the NCWC Social Action
Department. One speaker after
another, at this the first of a
series of annual social action
seminars, emphasized the point
that Catholic social action must
increasingly become the work of
the laity."
In certain respects the Cleye-
land Conference was an import
ant turning point in the develop
ment of the Catholic social
movement in the United States.

A Question Still Unanswered

dominantly of priests, probably
would have concentrated on the
role of the clergy in the field
of social action. This, of course,
is still an important subject.
There is still lot of work for
the priest to do on his own in
itiative and more or less inde-
pendently of the laity in the
field of Catholic social action.
Nevertheless it was generally
agreed at Cleveland that the
time had come, if not to de-
emphasize the role of the clergy,
at least to give greater atten-
ton TO the role of the laity in
the social apostolate.
Msgr. Joseph +. Donnelly, di-
rector of the Labor Institute of
the Archdiocese of Hartford, set
the tone for the conference when
he said - in his keynote ad-
dress on the history of the Cath
olic labor school movement since
1910 - that the time has come
for new approach" This ap-
proach, he said, is to strive in a
special way ito train and send
out Jealous apostles who will
work for personal and institu-
tional reform The time has
come when "the training of
these apostles should be the
principal effort OF our future
work" This training he describ-
ed as intensive and restricted"
The same point was made by
several other speakers at the
Cleveland conference, notably by
John Cort of the Boston Catho-
lie Labor Guild and Father Dam
iel CantwelI, chaplain of the Chi
cago Catholic Labor Alliance.
Circumstances might demand
that the priest be directly involv-
ed in the affairs of temporal So
eiety, Father Cantwell said, but
even when he is involved, his
principal job is to give inspira-
tion to the laity, to energize and
stimulate them by his example.
At no time should his involve
ment mean that he has pre-
empted the field, that he feels
he can do the job better than
the laity. he should always be
ready and anxious TO step down" "

general life of a smaller Arab
city far from the sea and with
out any of the cosmopolitan at
fractions of Beirut or Cairo.
In the Lebanon the overtone
was very definitely French; here
it is British. The explanation is
quite simple. The Kingdom OF
Jordan came into existence un-
der British auspices. Its army,
the famous Arab Legion, was
also the work of British direc-
ton. One notes this difference
from the moment one lands at
the Amman airport.
All Speak English
Here numerous gentlemen, in
the headdress that reminds one
of the Legion, and others, in
pointed helmets of the kind that
thought went out with the NOV
les of the World War |, all speak
English. The street signs attest
the prevalence of our language
and give character TO the place
quite at variance with interna-

Cheek by Jowl
The major interest in Jordan
is, of course, its position in the
Arab world and its relations
with Israel. 1t will be remem-

Jerusalem and therefore finds
itself cheek by jowl with Israel.
Moreover, its territory gives it
peculiarly important place in the

bloc is very far from united In
its international position. The
press of all these countries is
filled every day with comment
on the recent Turkish-Iraqui pact
of alliance, and the vicissitudes
of the Arab League as a result.
The recent agreement of Egypt
and Saudi Arabia is another indi-
cation of the fissures that have
appeared in the apparently solid
wall of Arab attitudes.
Strategic Position
Jordan to date has been pur-
suing a middle road and from
some points of view might be
called 'neutralist." The efforts
to pull both this country and the
Lebanon into some sort of agree
ment constitutes one of the ac-
tive issues here.
The Prime Minister of the Leb-
anon left in late July for visit
to Saudi Arabia and, every day
! was there, comment was rife
regarding the possibility OF a
closer understanding between
Syria and the Lebanon. Jordan
occupies a central and strategic
position and this 10 especially
true in relation to Israel.
On this latter point I shall
have occasion to comment in lat
er articles in this series.
Neutral Ground
Although Egypt crashes the
daily press most frequently in
its conflict with Israel, thanks to
its occapation of the GAIA strip,
the longest of IsrsePs frontiers
is with Jordan. This Us particu-
larly emphasized by the fact that
the two countries occupy parts
of the city of Jerusalem itself.
Since ! am leaving in a few days
for Jordanian Jerusalem, / shall
also remark later on the atmos-
phere in this divided city where
the two apparently irreconcilable
forces meet on what, for the
sake of better term, may be
called neutral ground
Now, just few lines for the
prospective tourist from our
country. To date have not found
any of these eastern Mediter-
ranean lands unc0mfortably hot.
To be sure, one does not require
central heating in June and Ju-
ly But, on the other hand, the
reputation for binding, over
whelming heat seems to nae -
be exaggerated. In fact Amman
is considerably more comfort
able than, say, Washington, at
this same time of year. | was
consoled in this thought by read
ing in the Beirut paper that at
Baghdad it was registering some
thing like lis in the shade. IL
perhaps may be wise TO leave
Baghdad for the moment.
