Hurt i'm Hurry
To See Pope,
Receives Blessing

VATICAN-NC) A recent pill
grim to the Vatican, who was in
jured while scrambling to get a
better view of His Holiness Pope
Plus XII, was consoled for in
juries by receiving a special
blessing from the Pope.
Mrs. Elisabeth Laux Sproll, who
had come from Stuttgart, Ger
many, was one of 5000 pilgrims
crowded into the Hall of the
Benediction at the Vatican. In
her anxiety to see the Pope, she
attempted to climb the four feet
high base of a column. She fell
from the slippery marble and was
seriously injured. =
When the Pope heard of the
incident, he expressed concern
over Mrs. Sproll's accident, and
gave her his blessing.

Oral examinations of all stu

Bishop said.

Who's To Blame
For Exams?

OMAHA, Neb.-It's that time
of year and, doubtless, from
grade school small fry to univer-
sity science students, that same
old question is popping UP -
who invented examinations any
way?
For those interested, Father
Raymond J. Bishop, ST., asso-
ciate professor of education and
psychology at Creighton Univer-
sity here, did some research and
came up with some interesting
answers.
The Jesuit priest recalled that
the Old Testament tells how A.
900 students" flunked an exam
ination and were put to death.
The students" we're Ephraimites
who wanted to cross the Jordan.
AS a test they were asked to pro-
nounce the word "Shibboieth"
to prove they were people of a
friendly tribe. But the best that
the unfortunate Ephramites could
do was "Sibboleth" and they
flunked away their lives. Father
Bishop related.
Students who must answer q
bsrrsqe OF questions in oral
examinations, Father Bishop
said, can blame Socrates (46o-

Father Carney also studied at

st. Joseph's Somerset and the
Dominican House of Studies in
Washington, DC.
He has served in several New
York parishes and taught at
Aquinas High School, Columbus.
Father Carney, one of IL chill
dren, also has a brother who serv-
ed in the mission field, Brother
Damien Carney, OFM. Brother

There is life which is distinct

Christ communicates the Life

the changes that takes place

crops spring UP, the flowers
bloom, the leaves burst into

Reports OF extensive outbreaks

Wainwright and Barrow have
been received by the Alaska De-

DIR. Charles r.. Hayman, acting

approximately 1000 cases, most
Of which have been mild, have
been reported id the past two
weeks.
All persons working in essen

the disease, Dir. Hayman recon-
mended, followed by vaccina

American Women
Prove Enigmdtic

one woman. as Turkey out
lawed polygamy in the late
twenties.
One Of the great reforms of
Renal Ataturk. founder Of
modern Turkey in 1928, was
to stop polygamy, give women
equal rights, including the
right to vote and be elected.
and accept the Western sys-
tenn of civil law. But some
old men with more than one
wife survived up to Q few
years ago.
Since Ataturk's reforms, ar
ranged marriages have gone
out of fashion. Love and the
personal feelings are the main
factors in marriages. but wise
couples still prefer to get the
consent of their families. for
harmony as well as financial
reasons. Married couples pre-
fer a separate home. Thus
they usually avoid ever-exist-
ing mother-in-law troubles
resulting from differences of
opinion between generations.
Marry Later
Most people in Turkey marry
later than IN America. The
average age is between $3.50
for men and 2I-26 for women.
Under normal conditions a
man cannot usually support a
family before he is Is, and thus
women have to wait longer to
find a proper husband. The
divorce rate in Turkey is / to

here. Despite too many laws
and restrictions in America,
the high rate of divorce shows
that this institution is having
a great crisis.

tosee Turkish women dress ex-
actly like Western women and
take the same place in society.
Men are complaining now. Just

In general my impressions
Of American women are good.
But they are so different from
what knew before coming to
America. Here are few OF the
surprises / met:
I was astonished to see in
America that sometimes wom-
en- propose marriage to men.
Once a girl of 20. whom I took
out several times in San Fran
cisco asked me to marry her.
I ask her if it is the custom
for women to propose mar
riage to men. She was so
angry she implied that ] would

The second one was q
greater surprise II ! had
accepted the offer Of a So

thought
1t was also great fun for
me to learn the real meaning
of the word girl. Once q
woman of so asked me to
speak to a group Of girls. !
accepted it mainly with the
hope of seeing some beauties.
When I met them. the young
est was SIS years old. But they
called each other girls" De-
spite their age they were
dressed like girls. ! surprised
them by saying 1T is q pleas
ure for me to meet 30 many
girls :"
I found American women
financially much better on
than I expected. They get
more and more prosperous
every day by working a. hard
sas men. and inheriting their
husbands fortunes. Laws de-
fend women and they know
how to take advantage Of the
situation. This means that
men should be very careful TO
choose the right women when
they plan to marry.
Complete Equality
! am in favour Of giving
complete equality to women
on condition that marriage
should never become q bust
ness deal and should not be
exploited by one side. ! hate
to see men feeling themselves
