most important are these: % Ihat
it will help Christians realize that
they are the body of Christ on
earth, and that they are created
to serve the purposes of God
among men. (2) To develop an
understanding that every phase of
personal faith and life, and all con-
gregational work will take on
richness of meaning, depth and sig
nificance if our lives are dedicated
to the work Of God.
Pastor Thompson observes from
interest and response to the past

Strict Tests Through Every Process
Assure Safety Of SaIk Polio Vaccine

For the first time in history, a
vaccine is protecting millions OF
human beings from paralytic
polio. While the Salk vaccine
will not work in every case,
American children are being
safeguarded against the dread
disease, with no more risk than
they would take in a vaccination
against smallpox or typhoid
shot. The SaIk vaccine must pass
elaborate tests under the watch
full eye of a government inspec-
tor at every stage of production.
Then the final packaged vaccine
is approved by the us. Public
Health Service for distribution.
Here are shown a few of the steps
that assure American parents
their children are being given a

The battle reached the courts

of Jackson have urged him to step

In the meantime new hat was

JOSEPHITE BROTHERS HERE
Milestone In History of st. JOS
eph's Indusial School Passed

NllcStOne III History or st. Jos
eph's Indusial School Passed
With the coming of the Joseph
lite Brothers here last month a
new milestone in the history of
st. Joseph's Industrial School has
been passed. Long will the men,
ory of this day be cherished as
the beginning of new chapter in
the glorious annals, depicting the
work begun here some fifty years
ago. st. Joseph, patron of our
Society, has come thru famously,
answering our prayers to supply
this great need. Because of a
shortage of vocations, we have
been handicapped so long in furn-
ishing the religious atmosphere
created by Brothers, who dedicate
themselves to the cause of train
ing boys to know God better and
love Him more. Only God knows
that the seed they plant will gen.
crate many vocations to serve the
Lords vineyard fructifying and
blooming for the salvation of
souls.
Father Patrick Veale, SSH, now
teaching at st. Joseph's Seminary
in Washington, ID. c., conveived
and brought into being the idea of
a Brotherhood to help the priests
in their work for the Colored peo-
pie. He has prepared young men
for their training in the Novitiate,
instilling into their generous
hearts the ideals that make possi-
BILE their life of self-sacrifce. st.
Joseph's School here will be. the
scene of their many labors for
these poor boys whose parents
cannot provide them the home
they need. Tho the beginning is
humble we can look hopefully to-
ward a great future. The past
has been the witness to the great
zeal of the Josephite Fathers here.

every member in the congrega-
ton. The canvass should be un-
oertaken as soon as possible after
the congregation agrees on the
need for expansion. 1t should be
conducted by committee made
up of the leading members of the
church. The committee should Be
given full authority for obtaining
pledges from each church men,
ber.
1t is surprising how easy it is
to answer all of the questions on
style of architecture and size of
building after pledges have been
obtained in a well-conducted can
vass. The answers come easy be-
cause you then know how much
money you can spend and can
make your building plans accord
ingiy.
I am convinced that if church
people will learn to think of a
building program as basically a
Embarrassing program, it will mean
the elimination from the Ameri-
can landscape of those half fin
ished churches, and those sad
signs which stand for years in
vacant lots as testimony to the
failure of Americans to back up
their religious convictions with
the reality of giving.

HOW TO BUILD
NEW CHURCHES
Lewis G. Wells Gives Some
Observations In Various
Locations
SIGNS REPAINTED
BY LEWIS G. WELLS

President, Wells Organizations
Many Of us have seen a sign on
a corner lot announcing that a
church will be built on this site"
and observed during several years
that only one change ever took
place: the sign was repainted!
Some of us know of churches
which have been ''half-built" for
many years = small temporary
frame buildings or easements top
ped with roofing material.
I find it a sad sight to looR
upon such churches. I am sure
that most Christians will agree
that our houses of worship should
not be so neglected.
Why do so many congregations
fail to realize their plans for a
new church building or addition
Certainly the members of these
churches are aware of the need
for physical expansion. They dem
onstrate this when they put up
the familiar sign, when they an
nounce plans for a new church,
when they begin construction on
the temporary building or addi-
tion.
But, although their intentions
are good, they fail in their efforts
because they allow themselves to
be sidetracked by secondary mat
ters concerned with a building
program.
Putting up the sign is second
|ary. So is building a temporary"
structure until enough money is
available to complete the job"
And generally, before putting up
the sign or agreeing to start work
on the temporary building, con-
gregations engage in long discus
sions aimed at settling other Sec
ondary matters including: what
style of architecture should we
utilize?" and 'What type of heat
ing unit should we install? ?"
Of course these are important
questions. And when congrega- |
ton raises the money to build |
either its new church or an addi-
tion, these questions must be an
sWered.
But such subjects also serve as
a way of avoiding that very un-
pleasant matter: ''How much
money can we raise and when and
how should we undertake to raise
it ?"
This, after all, is the most i'm
portant question in a building pro-
gram. 1t should be settled before
any other matters relating to a |
building program are discussed.
When a church decides that it
needs to expand physically, it
should first determine how much
money is available for bzuilding
through a Embarrassing canvass of |

seldom have stick-tu-iteyeness for
creative writing.
Concentrate on short pieces.
Lengthy novels are on the down
hill in popularity. Mrs. Frings be-
lteves because writer's haven't the
time TO produce them. Television
ard pocket edition writing makes
a hit because readers want an idea
conveyed as quickly as possible.
Correspondence helps for prac-
tiee in description, she says, but
letter writing is getting TO be a
lost art" It's SO easy TO pick up a
phone, and long distance rates are
cheaper, so young people seldom
bother writing.
You must be good reader to be
a good writer, she believes. Read
as much as you can. Newspaper
reading is one of the greatest sour
ces of stimulation for would-be
writer's, she says. Travel is essential
too if you'd be a good writer.
If you can't find job working
at writing, follow night courts and
trials where you'll get your imagi-

If You Won't

By VIVIAN BROWN

AP kewsfeofyres
If you want TO be a writer, just
don't sit around and whine about
ii. Write something. That's the ad-
vice of one of the country's success
full writers, Ketti Frings.
"Wishful thinking viii get you
no place" she says, aspiration is
no good without perspiration.
Mrs. Frings whose recent writing
achievements include screenplays
for 1.-THE Shrike" and "Foxfire"
UniversaD, says you'll need TO
start out as bread-and-butter
writer if you'd learn to write at all.
Forget about writing the great
American novel is her advice. III
you succeed in getting in the swing
of writing at all, you can worry
about the novel later. She explains:
"A job on newspaper or as
copy writer or other writing for
profit will keep you tapping the
keys-the essential thing in writ
ing. Performance and deadline are
necessary TO a writer's moral. Don't
theorize. Get a thought and learn
how to express it by putting 1t right
down. Rules in grammar and pune
tuation are abused today by the
best writer's, so forla doesn't count
as much as ideas"
Good writer's are usually lonely
people, the kind who do not ex-
press themselves in other ways,
she says. They enjoy day-dreaming
