Legal Holiday

WASHINGTON - NC)-"Over
80 countries in the world observe
Good Friday as a public holiday.
This day is commemorated with
appropriate solemn observances,
and given official recognition on
every continent of the globe"
This was the testimony of Con-
gresham Clement j. Zablocki of
Milwaukee, when he urged the
House Judiciary Committee here
to approve legislation declaring
Good Friday of each year to be a
public holiday.
The Wisconsin lawmaker list
ed 13 states and tern itories of the
United States that have adopted
laws o. issued executive procls-
nations, declaring Good Friday
or a portion of that Gay as le-
gal holiday or public holiday.
The proposal is consistent
with the spirit of our national
tradition. and it is supported by
many Americans, from coast to

Over and above his daily soicude for the universal

noble heart has prompted him to carry with ndefagabe

generosity and their continued
charity. the physical and finan-

is called upon to dispense in all
quarters ol the globe as check

II is likewise the only means
which the Sovereign Fontiff has

daily appeal to him for assist

In conclusion, Bishop Ready
heartily congratulated" the cler-

Instead of successive appeals
for war stricken youth. displaced
