on Sunday was huge success.
The parents and teachers work
ed very hard to bring this about
and are proud of the showing
that was made. We wish to thank
everyone who aided in the sue
cess of this activity and TO. thank
the parents and children who at
tended. We enjoyed providing this
extra entertainment for you.
On Monday the little first and
second graders came to school
with an uncertain smile and the
beginning of tear drops in their
eyes. Why? They were to take
the Salk Vaccination. But after a
brief but enlightening session
with the vaccine behind them,
they all received their 1ollipopS
and felt that they were big
enough to conquer the world. Why
they had taken the vaccination
and it didn't hurt at all. This was
an important phase in their lives
and the parents who came out to
help us should feel proud that
she was a part of this experience.
Loads of thanks to each and
everyone who so happily render
ed their time and services.
We regret that once again we
must say farewell to another in
tern who has worked so faith
fully in putting to practice what
she has learned. Miss Verneka
Johnson will be leaving us on Fri
day to finish her studies at
FAAdU. We do hope that she has
enjoyed>her stay with us and to
show how much we have en-
ioyed having her with us, we will
have "get together" on Friday
in her honor. Hurry back, YER
neka, and join forces with teach
ers in the education of our young
people"
Some of the members of the

HAPPENINGS IN OUR SCHOOLS
BUNCHE PARK
ELEMENTARY

National recognition has been
brought to Bunche Park School
by our librarian Miss Dolores
Hart. Miss Hart has a feature
article currently appearing in the
Grade Teacher-May, 1855. The
subject of this article is Region
al Fiction for Children" In this
article, the writer states that dur
ing these troubled times when
men and women are searching for
every possible avenue of world
peace and brotherhood, educa-
tors have begun to recognize the
desirability of teaching children
to appreciate and understand Gull
lures other than those of their
immediate environments.
A list of books were listed
which would provide children with
a kind of vicarious travel exper-
fences within our schools that
would be impossible.
These books tend to reveal the
outer differences between various
localities, as well as emphasize
the universal likeness of all hui
man behavior and develop desir-
able attitudes toward others.

COUNCIL STUDENTS
RECEIVE STATE POSTS

Last week Dorsey was repre-
scented well in the Fourth An
nual State Conference of the As
ISOLATION of Student Councils.
Converting at the new Stanton
High School in Jacksonville, the
conference had as its theme "OIr
Future Depends Upon Today's
Youth"
At the close of the conference,
David Robinson, an 18th grader
and president of the Student
Council, received the post of
State President of the Florida
State Association of Student
Councils.
Edwin Sapp, Dorsey's vice
president, became State parlia-
mentarian of this organization.
Hats off to these two students
for such leadership.

During the past semester of this
school term, several graduates
were given recognition in their
institutions of higher learning.
Hampton Institute has been
honoring Georgene Lambert for
maintaining such high academic
rating per semester since heren-
trance approximately four years
ago. Ter name always appears

GuatemaldS Red Problem

But what could be Guate-
mala'S chief problem now, in
the opinion of qualified stu
dents Of such matters, is the
task of "unpoisoning" the
minds of the masses. The re-
gime of President Castillo
Armas is finding it hard to
overcome the propaganda din
ned into the ears of the work
ers and Indian peasants during
the time Reds exercised high
authority.
Coupled with this is the fact,
they say, that Guatemala had a
background of some decades of
selfish Liberalism, European
style, when the communist
preachings Of hate and animos-
ity began to reach the people
on a large scale.
But, given time and reason

very good position to work out
its proper destiny, observers
feel There are some very en-
eouraging bright" spots in the
picture. A new Constitution is
expected to go into effect early
next year. Liberalism and So

tied with many leaders. The

the AFL will follow shortly.
In our opinion, the establish
ment of the CIO in the middle
'30s was one of the most inn
portant landmarks in the his
tory of the United States. 1t
was truly great step forward
in the development of human
progress-not only in the Unit
ed States but, by force of ex-
ample and moral influence, in
other countries as we'll.
Militant industrial Unions

cial justice and to the strength

is to compare the statistics on
wages. hours and working con-
ditions of millions of men and

itself, and it must be credited
in large measure to the efforts
OF the CI0 and its affiliates.

these statistics never would
have been achieved in the abb

ligious orders are permitted
to enter the country, after
period in which the admittance
of needed missionaries was Sc
verely restricted.
While Guatemala must con-
tinue to defend itself against
the possibility of Reds again
gaining a dominant position
in the country, it must also
guard against falling into a
wholly negative "anti-commun-
ism" that would prevent social
advances. What Guatemala must
strive to create is a lively spir-
it of Christian cooperation.
That is why it is necessary to
overcome many wrong ideas
that are in the minds. of the
people.
All of which makes it clear
that a people do not easily ex-
tricate themselves from the
coils of Red propaganda, once
they are entrapped.
Fortunately for Guatemala,
and for our hemisphere rela-
tions, too, Castillo Armas is
thoroughly determined to guar
atee by the Constitution fair
legislation for workers and
peasants. He wants to avoid
those pitfalls that might con-
tribute to the Reds return to

application of those commands and counsels
For the saints were men and women like our
seves, confronted by the same temptations
weighed down by the same cares; suffering, most
of them. worse hardships than are our lot They
kept clearly in mind, at all times the distinction
between His kingdom of love and the worlds
kingdom of indulgence and baseness; We too
by initiating the saints in constant loyalty to
Him, are kept in the course He would have us
follow.
The Gospel of Sundays feast tells how Plate
asked Jesus the same question which the incred
uous world is still raising: Thou art then
king" The answer was addressed to Plate, but
the Saviors words still ring out for the whole
world to hear: Thou sayest it; | am king This
is why | have come into the world, to bear wit
ness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth
hears My voice" The saints heard that voice;
heard it in the phrases of the Beatitudes that
are the marks of true Christian living: BLESSED
are the poor in spirit Blessed are the meek
Blessed are they who mourn Blessed
are they who hunger and thirst for Justice
Blessed they who suffer persecution for
Justices sake Blessed are you when men
reproach you, and persecute you, and, speaking
falsely, say all manner of evil against you, for
My sake

Q. By ,0hdt right can one

How can the Catholic Church

A. If God chooses TO give af-

it should be obvious that some
one would have divine uthor-
ity and no one else. would have
it. From the life Of Christ it is
clear that He chose Apostles
and trained them and that He
gave them special powers, not
granted to others. The Bible
clearly teaches that Christ es-

degrading type of paternalism.
The Everlasting Problem
The CI0 has had its prob
lens during the past two dec
AIDES, notably the problem of
Communist infiltration. Forum
ately that problem was met
head-on and Sc far as the. CIO
is concerned no longer exists.
There is still the problem of
rank-and-file apathy in many
CI0 locals and internationals,
but this problem is not confin-
ed exclusively to the CIO.
To the extent that the AFL
and the CIO can solve this prob
lem in the unified labor move
ment which, thanks be to God,
Is about to come into exist
ence, they will put all of us
even further in their debt. For,
to repeat, a vigorous democrat
ic labor movement - which
means a labor movement in
which there is active rank-and-
file participation-is one of the
strongest possible bulwarks of
political democracy. For that
reason, as Professor Simon has
written, "any reform which
would jeopardize the operation
of labor unions or alter their
essential constitution is bound
to arouse the suspicion of the
democratic mind"
The danger of such re-
forms" is always present but,
in our opinion, it should not
be exaggerated at the present
time. All things considered, we
would expect the unified labor
movement, in cooperation with
enlightened management, TO
make gradual but. steady and
substantial progress in the
years ahead-thanks, in no
small measure, to the solid
foundation established during
the past twenty years by the
CIO.
The CIO is not going out of
existence as of December. Rath-
er il is going on to even great
er heights as an integral part
of what promises TO be the best
and rtrongest labor movement
in the history of the modern
world.

The Bishops Appeal

The Bishop is not appealing for himself. He is
begging for the children of the people of the
Diocese of Columbus, present and to come. In
his position as Chief Shepherd he must do eV-
erything possible to bring souls to their eternal
salvation He deserves the undying gratitude of
every soul he thus helps to Heaven.
Important in the work of saving souls is
that of moral training Holy Mother Church di-
reefs that this be done and urges her Bishops
and priests TO aid the parents IN their solemn
obligation in this matter. Sometimes little ones
have no parents, or are left lonely and without
care due to broken homes. These, too, must re-
ceive loving spiritual and temporal care. An or
phsnaEe at best does not take the place of good
home and family life But it does everything pos
sible to care for and direct innocent hearts to

WASHElNCTON LETTER

WASHINGTON -. The visit
President Carlos Castillo Arm.
as of Guatemala plans to pay
to this country at the end of
this month has very special
interest.
The visitor comes from a ma
tion which only recently threw
off a Red-tainted regime which
had dominated it for some
years, 1t is seeking now to coun-
teract the effects of communist
propaganda and demagoguery
exercised in high places. OBJ
servers who have recently Wis
tied Guatemala say it is not
altogether an easy task.
Coming at q time when the
Free World stands in some
danger of being deceived by the
new smiling facade" of world
communism, this reminder oil
Guatemala's experience should
have a SOLDERING effect.
Reports from Guatemala say
that former Red leaders are re-
turning to that country and to
FL Savador from more dist
ant places, and at time when
the new regime is still deeply
engrossed in the problems of
reconstruction. Guatemalan po-
lice were said TO have evidence
that several groups are at work
plotting the overthrow of the
present government.
