Now in Rome to report on his

is DR.. Daniel |. Arnon, University
of California scientist, the only
American to attend the study

Sciences.
DR.. Arnon joined an illustrious
roster of internationally known fell

DIR. Arnon will read his paper
on "Some Functional Aspects Of

discussion that follows.

Graduates of High Scho-l who
feel that they are called to
serve God in His holy priest
hood, and to labor in the Dio-
cese of Columbus should make
application before May Is
through their respective pastors,
for admission to the Diocesan
Seminary of ST. Charles, 2010
E. Broad St, Columbus 9, Ohio.
Each applicant will be assign
ed a time for interview. It is inn
portant that application be made
without delay. Young men who
are in the senior class in high
school should not wait for their
day of graduation to apply.
For those under financial
difficulties, scholarships are
available; arrangements for such
scholarships are to be made by
the pastor of the applicant, who
will take up the matter directly
with the Most Reverend Bishop.
No young man who feels call
ed to the priesthood, 0r who
thinks that he may have a
priestly vocation although he is
not of decided mind, is to be
denied the full opportunity of
seminary training. Nor should
such a young man fail to heed
the divine invitation, or show
remiSsnesS in following where
it may lead. He should see his
pastor at once, and make appli.
cation for admission to st. Char.
les.

Science Needs
Philosophy,
Pontiff Ayers

VATICAN CITY = (NC) -
Modern science, which is rap
idly progressing towards the
point where it faces +" t h e
greatest enigma of all visible
creation = namely the prob
lem of life," needs philosophy
to understand what it is doing
and where it is going.
That /, the key thought of the
4,000-word address delivered in
French by His Holiness Pope Plus
XII to members of the Pontifical
ACADEMY of Sciences and other
scholars here to attend study
week on micronutrient elements in
vegetable and animal life.
The Holy Father repeatedly
stressed the necessity of accom-
panying the amazing new facts
discovered through natural science
by a search for "a unifying syn
thesis"
Science, split up into innumer-
able sectors, cannot reach . uni
versal synfhesis of thought, and
needs permanent contract with
"philosophy OF critical realism"
10 ssfiefy mems search for truth,
fhe PonfiH continued.
At the same time the Pope warn
ed phiIosophieally against trying
ito define truths which are drawn
solely from observation or expert
ment and from the use of scientif-
ic methods"
He deplored the fact that for
some time science and philosophy
have become separated" He attrib-
uted the cause of this separation
to historical factors and to per
sons nho did not always possess
the necessary good will and COM
petence." He cited the example of
atomic discoveries for the failure
of the mechanistic theory of the
universe to explain the forces gov
erning the behavior of atoms.
Telling scientists that they hold
a powerful instrument with which
to do good, the Holy Father urged
them never te betray this trust.

st. Francis.
When the Order came to estab-
lish a hospital in Columbus in the
winter of 1862, the city had pop
ulation of only $4,000. The first
site of THEN endeavors was small
dwelling on East Rich Street, oppo-
site Holy Cross church.
Until the house could be furnish
ed to serve as a hospital, the Sis
tiers were engaged in home nur-
sing.
EarIy the following year,
after the battle of Pittsburgh
Landing, the Sisters were swamp
ed with work caring for wound
ad and sick soldiers. The East
Rich Street dwelling soon be-
came foo small for the work the
Sisters were doing and they
were forced 10 look for more
spacious quarters.
Through the influence of Doc
tor Startling Loving and other in
terested citizens, portion of the
Startling Medical College, located
on East State and Sixth Streets,
was turned over to the Sisters for
hospital purposes.
The early history of the Startling
Medical College is important be-
cause of the part it played in the
history of Columbus and in the
work of the Sisters of the Poor OF
st. Francis. Doctor John Hamilton
encouraged and helped the Sisters
in their work, and it was he who
suggested that they apply for the
use of that portion of the Medical
College which had been provided
for hospital purposes.
The Sisters purchased a 99-year
lease in 1865, and this saw the orig
in of st. Francis Hospital, the old
est hospital in the city of Colum-
bus.
Since its establishment, fhe
hospital has handled more than
10000 emergency cases, and has
cared 'or 7e2, ,420 patients. The
hospital also has the distinction
of being fhe oldest medical-col.

In pastoral letter to be read in
all parishes Sunday, Bishop Ready
called for "fervent petitions to
God that vocations might grow and
prosper among US"
Citing the need for many
priests and sisters in the diocese,
Bishop Ready noted that the
need grows more acute because
of fhe rapidly increasing popU.
Istion, the opening OF new per.
ishes and expanded school fseil-
tiles. He declared:
I'VE cannot meet such demands
unless those young men and wom-
en- in the Diocese, whom God has
destined for His service, will read
lily and reverently respond to their
holy vocation in life 1t falls to par
ents to encourage their sons and
daughters, to pastors and teachers
to counsel them, and to all of us
to pray that God may bring them
to the fulfiliment of His holy
Will"
Bishop Ready also requested that
the family Rosary, the daily Sac
rifice of the Mass and Holy Com
munion and the May devotions in
parish churches be 1.-The normal
routine for all families in the di-
ocese during this month" He call
ed attention, too, to the feast of
the Queenship of Mary on May 81,
to be celebrated by the Universal
Church for the first time.
The plea for intensified prayers
for vocations was made by the
Bishop in a letter to pastors urg-
ing them to include such petitions
in the regular May devotions. Ac-
companying these letters we're in
dividual prayer cards-one for each
person in the Diocese.

which form fhe basis of the di-

"The purpose of the study week
is to illuminate areas of knowledge
and areas of ignorance, and
then, says DIR. Arnon, sometimes
we find out where to look next"
The subject of DR.. Arnon's lee
ture to the Pontifical Academy,
micronutrient elements, the scient-
ist likens to the tiny bit of tung-
stem in the light bulb compared
with the bricks in the house lighted
by that bulb:
"You could not live in the house
without light, yet the weight of
tungsten used to light the house
is infinitesimal compared to the
weight of bricks or wood used to
construct the house. So with micro
nutrient elements: In plants they
are necessary; plants get sick if
they don't get them"

Persecution
RulnOrs from
Italy Scotched

WASHINGTON - MCl -
The us. State Department
says no Americans in ItaIv are
denied the right to worship as
they wish.
The department says there
appears to be "a general mis-
understanding" regarding the
problems of the Church of
Christ sect in Rome. It adds
that there is a confusion of
''the question of freedom of wor-
ship with that of placing a sign
on a building in Rome"
The latter difficulty Is the
one in which the Church Of
Christ in Rome has IsfeIy been
involved" the department points
out. This department knows pres
emily Of no case in Italy where
Americans are denied fhe rishf
10 worship ss they wish. Ir fact,
fhe Church OF Christ in Rome Is
open for worship and the repre-
senfsfives OF thar Protestant de-
nomination openly conduct serv.
ices and otherwise minister 70
their congregations"
The State Department says sit
may be of interest that at present
there re in Italy 81 American mis-
sionaries who have entered Italy
since 1913. With the exception of
three, all of the American mission
aries who did not leave the coun-
try voluntarily were permitted to
remain and still are in Italy.
THE s'hurch of Christ alone has
in Italy IA American missionaries
who, with the addition of ten Ital-
ian missionaries, minister to ap-
proximately 1000 members of that
denomination.
