POETS CORNER ~!
The Snide Remarl


It's bad enough to criticize - but
it is worse to say
A vilifyfng sentence in an under
hand way;
To mention some one and to make
some comment on the side
That seem SO quite casual, but ac-
tually is snide.
1t is the vicious spark that starts&
gossiping campaign,
To ruin someone's character; for
some one else's gain;
1t is the serpent that, entwines ]. ;.
and poisons all the. tree,
And through it's branches reaches
out to choke all charity.
If we have fault to find, let us be
open and sincere 49,.
And not deliver venom to an un-
suspecting ear.

Police Chief Charles P. Thomas
made it plain that if foot policemen
are assigned to Buckeye Road they
will have to be in pairs. One patrol
man he said would be killed in a
very short time.
Thomas agreed that foot police
men could help curb the cuttings
and killings for which the road&Ss
noted. He said detailing extra Of
ficers to the Buckeye Rd., beat
could be done only at the expense
of other sections of the city. Buck
eye road is not the only section
that needs cleaning up, there are
many so-called good districts which
could stand the same treatment. AS
the saying goes there is so much
good in the worst of us and so
much bad in the best of u.s. that it
hardly behooves any of us to criti-
cize any of us.

Purpose In Life?
Said DR. Sox: As an indicator
that something is wrong. yes, it
most certainly is pood from a
medical standpoint, in that it
motivates person to correct his
disorder. Nor can | believe that
suffering is necessarily bad in
any other sense. After all. the

DR.. Nelkin disagreed. 1T is not
good for a person to suffer, ex-
cept as this leads to learning the
use of anesthesia God gave us
the means to reduce suffering,
and we must use them"

rule is eliminate all the suffer.

Bishop Walsh
To MOUe Out

HONG KONG-(NC) p Chinese
communists have ordered Bishop
James f. Walsh. MN, executive
secretary Of the suppressed Cath
Ollie Central Bureau of China. to
move from his quarters at the
bureau to the rcctory OF Christ
the King Church, according to a
report received here.
The Bishop will not be allowed
to offer Mass publicly in the
church. the report said.
Bishop Walsh, native OF Cum
berland, Md, and veteran of 80
years in mission work, was named
executive secretary of the Catho-
lie bureau in f943. The commun-
lists ordered the bureau to suS.
pend activities on June 8, 1851.
They accused the Bishop of turn.
il the bureau into "a prominent,
antl-communist stronghold against
the people. "
Since that time the Bishop has
been virtual prisoner OF the
Chinese communists.
Bishop Walsh was elected su
perior general of the Maryknoll
Fathers in 1886. Shortly after he
completed his f0-year term, he re.
turned to China. The communists
have stated that the Bishop is
free to leave China, but he says
that he will remain until he is
expelled.

day that his condition had grown
worse lately.
