Supper Fete

Bigger and better than ever"
that is the aim of every COM
mittee of the hospital supper, an
nual benefit for the Montgomery

rides, antique cars, the Mello
Moods and other entertainment.
Robert johnson and William
Hartage are co-chairmen of the
mems committee, with Willard
Derrick heading a committee on
parking. There will be ample
parking this year, and the COM
mittee is working on arrange
ments for shuttle service from
the parking area to the cafeteria
where the supper is to be served.
The dining room will be more
comfortable, too, with Venetian
blinds at the sunny end and ex-
ira fans to cool the room. There
will also be additional seats SO
that about 400 can be served at
a time.
At a recent meeting held at

THE WEEK IN RELIGION
Reverent Good Friday
Observance Pushed

here and throughout the world
will hold the Good Friday serv-
ices between 3 and 6 pm, in ac-
cordance with the Holy Week
liturgical changes decreed by the
Congregation of Rites.
The Good Friday rites this
year permit Catholics to receive
the sacrament at the Holy Com
munion service, which replaces
the so-called Mass of the Pre-
sanctifled. The ceremonies will
include Scripture readings, SOL
emn prayers, and Alteration OF
the Cross. They will begin with
"a recitation by the faithful OF
the Our Father in Latin.
The liturgical changes also
will enable more workers to at
tend the other solemn ceremo-
MES of Holy Week, including
those of Holy Thursday, and the
Easter Vigil. Heretofore, both
services took place in the morn
Iing-when most workers could
not attend. Now, the Holy
Thursday rites will be held ir
the evening and the Easter vigil
at night.

With the arrival Of Holy
Week, attention centers again on
q growing movement for q more
reverent observance Of Good
Friday.
The day will be a particularly
memorable occasion to American
Catholics this year because 1t
will be the first time they will
commemorate it. according to
the restored Order of Holy Week
services decreed by the Sacred
Congregation Of Rites last No
vember.
Meanwhile, both Catholics and
Protestants through bout the
United States again have been
cooperating to broaden the
scope and influence of the Good
Friday observance movement.
The continuing success of the
joint movement, which was
launched by a group of laymen
at San Francisco in 1914, is re-
f1ected this year in the large
number Of civic and commercial
groups, as well as church mem

Three bills to make Good Fri
day a legal holiday are pending
in Congress. However, Congress
sional sources do not expect ap-
proval of Good Friday legislation
this year. Business and indus
trial interests. and some religious
groups, have opposed such a law.
Strongest opposition apparent
ly comes from business and in
dustrial executives who are
against the creation of new Fed
eral holidays that have to be
recognized in union contracts.
The objection of religious
bodies, such as the Seventh-day
Adventists. is that Good Friday
is distinctly religious day. sec

that for Congress to make Good

violate religious liberty and the
separation of Church and State.
Efforts to secure such a law are

u Local postmasters met Tues
day in Washington formulate
,plans for the Christmas rush.
.Afhong the postmasters present
were Herbert S. Hyatt of Damas-
Gus, Maurice Spalding of Gathers
burg, Mrs. Elizabeth E. Wood of
Sandy Spring, Mrs. Margaret B.
Tierney of Kensington, and Hugh
H. Hassell of Rockville. They are
mapping plans to handle the ever
increasing volume of mail and
request the cooperation of the To-
cal citizens.
Area postmasters urge the citi-
zens to shop early and mail early
this Christmas season to facili-
tate the processing of the largest
Christmas mailing in the history
of local post offices.
To put off mailing Christmas
cards and parcels until the last
moment results in an extra bur-
den being placed on the postal
employees and on the postal facil-
tiles of the area post offices.
Every facility of the local post
offices will be pressed into maxi
mum service so that again this
year, as in the past, the post Of
fees will be cleared, if possible,
of all Christmas mail by Christ
mas.
There are still some people
who retain the mistaken idea that
a gift or card arriving on Christ
mas Eve has a special signifi-
cance," it was said. 1T is the
thought behind the gift or card
not the time of arrival-which
is the most important considera-
ton"
In an appeal to all the citizens
of the area, local postmasters
praised the fine cooperation of
past years when record mail loads
were processed and delivered and
asked that this same cooperation
be again in evidence this year.
BY following the simple sugges-
tons of mailing early, wrapping
carefully and addressing plainly,
citizens will be assured of the
safe and timely arrival of their
! Christmas mail.
