dear to Us, this sublime posi-
bility of art, the Pope added.
After praising the religious pos
sibilities of art, the Holy Father
noted that if artistic expression
gives voice to false, empty and con-
fused spirits" il it "stirs the baser
passions, it might, perhaps, find
welcome among some people"
But. the Pope warned. such
an art would degrade itself, de-
nYins its primary and essential
element; IL would not be uni
verssl and perennial"
The Pontiff then paid tribute to
the genius of Fra Angelica, who
rose to the loftiest artistic heights
by drawing his inspiration from
the Faith. He said Fra Angelico's
effectiveness derives from his sin
cere piety and also from ''the
Thomastic doctrine reflected in his
pictures"
The Pope concluded by saying
that, in contemplating Fra Ange-
lico's art, Our thoughts cannot
long escape an anxious considera-
ton of the present-day world, a
world, so different from that de-
scribed in these marvellous pic
tures."s
Fra Angelica was a famous 18th
century Italian painter, member
of the Dominican Order. Noted for
his holy life, he painted only re
iigious subjects and is said never
to have started painting without
praying. He painted frescoes in
two of the Vatican'S chapels, one
of which has been destroyed, in ad-
dition to many other works.
The opening ceremony of the
exhibition was held in the Vati-
cans Constantine Hall. Twelve
Cardinals, members of the Vatican
diplomatic corps and many notable
persons from the art world attend
ed. Among the paintings being
shown are a number from the
United States. including the KreSs
collection of Houston and a paint
ing from San Francisco.

cording to the head of Notre

Writing in the Apr. % Ave Ma

Sheehan contends that "these mis-,
taken laws do not promote peace
full and just management-labor re

work laws don't protect individuals
either. he said:
Rather, such laws tend to di
vide management and labor, work

Sheehsn holds, they are Iegisls-

also make illegal any union shop
or union security arrangements,
even though the employer and all
his workers have agreed to such
arrangements"
Tracing labor-management rela'
tions progress in the past 20 years,
the Notre Dame professor asserts
that "the very nature of industry

RANGE: Both species originally
found east of the Rocky Mountains
and from Canada and Great Lakes
south to Florida; especially album
dant in Mississippi Valley; found
in rivers. lakes and ponds; they
have thrived in Maryland and
afford sport and food to many,
especially in appointments; also
can be found at heads of some of
our fresh tidal waters, mostly in
spring.
DESCRIPTION: Both species are
a dark notified olive green, with
darker green splotches; the white
crappie has from to Z spines in
the dorsal or back fin, while the

laid and fortified, he guards the
nest; also the young for a few days
after Matching; spawning takes
place in spring when the water has
reached a temperature of ga to
GS degrees f.
HABITS: Both species gather in
schools; found mostly along shores
and around bridges in lakes, and
below dams. They feed on insects,
worms, crawfish and especially on
small live minnows-the anglers
best bet; it is a slow bitter.
MANAGEMENT: Food, cover and
unpolluted waters are essential;
with these, both species will
prosper with little legal protection;
at times ana in certain waters they
become so thick that growth is
retarded, and to obtain large speci-
mems they must be thinned out.
VALUE: Crappies are valuable
commercially and the take for this
purpose in the United States
probably exceeds a half million
pounds annually; its value for
sport exceeds its commercial value
in most waters. Wherever it is
taken it provides a very large
amount of fine food.
