Nun-Doctor Leaves Hospital
For Korean Mission Field

2OOO-A-Day Clinic

I've been waiting for IL
years"
That was the matter of fact
way in which Sister Maria
Fidelis described her feel
ings last Friday as she went
about her final duties at Mt.
Carmel Hospital pffor to her
leaving for Maryknoll, NY, and
then in October, Korea.
It's not that Sister Fidelis
didn't like Columbus or Mt Car
mel. But Sister, or Doctor, as she
is professionally called, has just
finished her one year internship
In the hospital after being gradu-
ated from Marquette University's
Medical school.
Now the 28-year-old Cincinnati
born nun returns to the mother
house near Ossining, NY, where
during the summer she'll prepare
for her British Medical Board ex-
aminations, review medical books,
and get her passports in readi-
ness for the October trip.
Sister explained that she will
take the British exams "just in
case" an emergency might arise
in some part of the East where
the British are in control.
Il can go right in and go to
work." she said.
Sister Fidelis has been assign
ed to the Maryknoll operated 100
bed hospital in Pusan, Korea. The
outpatient clinic alone has been
turning out about 1000 patients
4 day, according to sister.
II don't think I'll have to look
very far to find plenty of work, =
she said.
When Alice Rieckelman gradu-
ated from st. Mary high school in
Hyde Park, Cincinnati, IL years
ago she had no idea that 10 years
later she would be a doctor.

formal offense to sell any wares
on Sunday except in case of ne
cessity or mercy, 1t does, how
ever, permit the sale of milk, bak-
cry products, ice cream, confec-
tionery and non-alcoholic bever-
ages.
The high court said Mr.. Hurli-
man was wrong in maintaining
that the law is discriminatory in
that it permits the sale of some
items on Sunday and prohibits
the sale of others. Mr.. Huffman
contended that the exception
clause of the statute violates
"equal protection" clauses of the
state and federal constitutions,
and that therefore the entire
Sunday closing law is unconstitu-
tional.
Justice Inglis denied this, say
ing that the law would adversely
affect Mr.. Huffman only if his
competitors were granted priyil

13 months prior to his release.
He will 90 first to his home in
Belgium before taking up the
mission assignment among the
refugee Chinese and the native
Taiwanans.
Youthful and alert, Father
Van Lierde has made a remark
able recovery from the months
OF torture suffered in Peipins,
where the communists tried TO
force him and his brother
priests 10 confess being spies
for Tmperialists."
Everyone who is not com.
munist is a spy against the Peo-
pies Party" Father Van Lierde
explained. "The young people
have been so indoctrinated by the
communists that they no longer
accept the teachings and tradi-
tions of their elders. The young
Chinese have changed completely
and, instead of the traditional re-
spect for their elders, they even
testify against their parents, il
they think they are opposed to
the communists.
Still bearing the scars from
ropes which were twisted around
bis wrists and ankles while he
was suspended with his arms
shackled behind him from the
ceiling, Father Van Lierde is re-
turning cheerfully to the Far
East, thrusting behind him the
memories of days without sleep,
broken periodically by hours of
torture, ranging from beatings
tc the twisting of arms and legs.
His hands were so crippled that
il was four months after release
from prison before he recovered
their use.
Father Van Lierde said that
he did not believe his forfurers
enjoyed carrying out fhe mis-.
sion assigned them TO extort
Confessions" from fhe "imper-
ialisfie sries," but their fanaii-
eism Is SO great. they will do
anything they are sold by ths
eoinmissars.
Father Van Lierde said that
the majority of Chinese would
welcome a counter-revolution but
the present regime has so terror
lied the people that it seems inn
possible for this to materialize at
present. The missionary added
that il Chang Kai Shek could
make a successful landing on the
mainland, the people would rally
to his cause.

Scientific advances carry NOR
al implications FOO. What should
be fhe Catholics atti-
rude to ths marvellous yet
frightening world which is
opening before him?
The immediate answer is that
the world, which is the object of
science, has as its author the
same God Who is the author of
the Faith. There can be nothing
evil in the things of Gods crea.
tion, and there can be nothing
evil in the scientific mind that
brings natures elements into
useful operation. The only evil
can be in mans will.
If the intelligent being keeps
clearly in mind the hierarchial
order of what is good and the rea-
son for his existence and that of
other men, he will know how he
must cope with the marvellous
new world into which he is en-.
tering.
Both Must Serve God
A Catholic should know that
man was not created so that he
might serve nature. Rather ma
ture was created to serve man
And the two, man and nature,
were created to serve God. In

Existence of this problem was
brought to light by a story written
by Father Patrick O'Conner,
S.S.C,. Far East correspondent of
the News Service. His charge that
the retail stores operated by the
US. armed forces "are peddling
pornographic magazines to Amer
ican servicemen in Japan and
Korea" brought widespread re-
action and protest in this coun-
try.

ment of ths Army added:

cate that any obscene mass-
zines have been ordered; as .
matter Of fact, all of them are

It was not at once possible to
tell whether the magazines re-
viewed by the department were
the same group to which Father
o'Connor had reference in his
story. It is evident, however, that
at least some of these magazines
