So often here are women who
would like to join a home demon

where or when. If this is the prob
lem, let the above information
solve that for you. If you live in
SUSSEX County, call the nearest
president to you and she will be
happy to see. that someone calls
for you, or can give you directions
on how to get to the meeting place
l will be glad to give you any in
formation i can.
In Sussex we have this plan
you are not asked to join the club
until you have attended three club
meetings. This is not to make you
feel not wanted but to give you an
opportunity to see if home demon
stration club work is what you
want and if you are interested in
the program for the year. We are
most interested in having you as
a member only if you want to be
a member. BY attending three
meetings you will have the oppOr-
tunity to observe a leader demon
stration, an agent demonstration,
and hear leader reports.

We have been told that there
is some organization that assists
congregations such as ours, and

of such an organization?
If you can assist us in this man.

l am sorry to see him walk out on

times I myself get disguised with

Maybe if Mr.. Rosenberg were to
search Segals mind and heart he
might find much worse than
shrimp on him. After all, shrimp
is only a matter of Segals stom-

Yet, in a burst of vanity,
must tell Mr.. Rosengerg that he

though I say it myself, it's gener-
ally pretty good column, despite
its faults and Segals shrimp.

It would electrify the captive peo-
pies behind the iron curtain.
Restoration of the cardinal to his
rightful dignity would be a stun
ming demonstration of the power
and providence of God, and of the
fact that communism is by no
means invincible or invulnerable.
Cardinal Mindszenty could be-
come the focal point of a glorious
upsurge of spiritual determination
to overcome goddess despotism,
and to establish a civilization fit
for human beings as images of
God. And if God in his wisdom did
not free the cardinal, our prayers
would help him to stand firm for
Christ, whatever befalls.
In praying for Cardinal Minds
zenty. we shall not. be praying for
him alone. We shall be praying also
for Cardinal Stepinac in Yugoslav-
la, Cardinal Wyszynski in Poland,
Archbishop Beran in Czechoslo-
vakia, and all the host of layfolk
and clergy who suffer under COM
munism.
We shall be praying, too, for
ourselves and for all our fellow
men; because communism menaces
all without exception.
