Q. Is it right TO eat meat If
you hare ordered IL by mistake
IN restaurant and suddenly
remember? What about a
housewife toho has q meat
meal prepared and then re-
members that il is an ember
day?
A. The obligation to abstain
from meat on Friday is a grave
one. Unless there is serious
reason such as great financial
hardship or a question of
health, the man who orders
meat should not eat 1t. Incon-
vience or the thought of food
''going TO waste" is not suffi-
cient reason. On ember days
meat is allowed once but If
some of the family had meat at
noon and this situation arose, it
would be possible to call the
pastor for dispensation. Since
we have these laws In order to
develop our will-power, to show

On January Is the Senate
Investigation Subcommittee will
begin a full-scale investigation
OF racketeering in the labor
movement. II promises to be
one OF the biggest Congression-
al Investigations in years. pos
sibly rivalling the so.called ke-
fauver hearings of several
years ago.
Assuming that the investiga.
ton will be conducted impart-
ially-in other words that 1t
will not be misused for political
purposes as a means of harass-
ing the labor movement as such
we are all in favor of it. In
cidentally IL is our impression
that the majority of union lead
ers feel the same way about
the inquiry as we do and that
they will cooperate with the
Senate Subcommittee so long
as it sticks TO its last and re-
sists the temptation to play
up TO the galleries at the ex'
pense of legitimate trade un-
ionism.
The problem of honesty in
the trade union movement in
the United States is not as ser
ious as some of labor's critics
make il out to be. Nevertheless
we would be less than honest
and we would be an enemy
rather than a friend OF the la
Dor movement-if we were to
pretend that the problem does
not exist. We all know that Il
does exist TO an. alarming de-
gree, particularly in the admin
istration OF certain welfare
funds. We know, too, that, in
some cases at least. the union
or unions involved have failed
TO take the necessary steps 10
correct the situation.
In our opinion, David Du-
binsky, President of the Inter
national Ladies Garment Work
ers Union was dead right when
he said few years ago in the
official AFL monthly journal
that public report of abuses
In some union welfare funds

ton more and more likely, and
perhaps inevitable" Mr.. Du.

need not mention it but if there
is any doubt he should men
ton it. 1t is possible for people
TO excuse themselves without
adequate cause. There is no
obligation to do anything else
when it is truly impossible to
get to Mass, but it is good to
say some special prayers e.g.
from the Missal, a prayer book
or the rosary.
@. Why does the Church corr
denim Freendsonry and SIM
liar organizations?
A. Speaking for Christ the
Son of God the Catholic Church
protects her members from in
fluences harmful to the Faith.
The Church does not exactly
condemn these organizations.
They have some secret oaths
(Masons, Oddfellows, Knights
of Pythias. Modern Woodmen,
etc. or some religious ideas
which conflict with Catholic
teaching. The decision of the
Church in such cases has fol-
lowed careful study of the
manuals and rituals of the so
cieties concerned but some OF
them make no secret of their
hostile ideas. Albert Pike, for
years head of Masonry, stated

the sacrament. Ordinarily, a
daily communicant should go
to confession at least every two
weeks and as a rule we should
go to confession at least once
a month if we 60 to Holy Com
munion every Sunday. There is
no obligation to receive Holy
Communion except during the
Easter Time. so there can be no
sin in neglecting to 90 to Holy
Communion after going to con-
fession.
Q. If q person is outside the
Church (e.g. married TO a d.
vorced person. can he go TO
Mass, receive SdcrdmentS, etc.
A. Church law tCanon No
2260) states that "an excom-
municated person may not re-
ceive the sacraments: after a
declaratory or condemnatory
sentence he may not receive
even the sacramentals." Only
certain special and extraordin-
ary cases come under the deslg-
nation of 'declaratory or con-
demnatory sentence" so excom-
municated Catholics can re-
ceive the sacramentals. They
can and should attend Mass.

Cardinal Leger returned from
Rome to Montreal and knelt in
the train station TO receive his
own fathers blessing.
1t is the father principally
who helps prepare the Sunday
Mass from the Missal; the fa-
er who does not hesitate to
visit sick neighbor; the father
who leads the way to confes-
sion and to family Communion.
1t is, of course, the father
also who leads in Church sup
port! We know of the increased
economic pressures which re-
quire extra jobs and fewer
hours at home for fathers. Pray
God, more and more fathers
will spend longer hours at home
with the children and become
more available to them. Fathers

dren's lessons and put them to
bed suffer an irreparable loss.
Father Healy in his book on
marriage guidance says that "a
father sins if he permits his
wife to waste money, to run up
bills for luxuries that she can
not afford, to disregard econ
omy in managing the home. A
father sins, too, If he pays no
attention to the training of his
children or if he gives over the
task completely into the hands
Of his wife. Fathers must learn
TO prepare simple meals and to
care for the essential needs of
the younger children" We hate
TO still add more sins to mar.
ried life but sins they are.
Since the father officially
represents the family, one Of
the strongest desires of child
is to be proud of that father.
Children want that more than
money, than trips, than gifts.
In their many endeavors fathers
should ask themselves: "Will
these actions, these words make
my child proud of me or
ashamed of me?"

evil of hypocrisy and disloyal-
ty to the fine traditions of a
movement which claims to be
and is rightly expected to be
more honest and more idealis-
tic than the average run of Sec
ular organizations.
Thanks be TO God. the mum
ber of racketeerS and hypoc.
rites in the labor movement is
relatively small, but even one
is one too many, | hope and
pray, then, that every local un-
ion in the United States, fol-
lowing the leadership of the
Ethical Practices Committee of
the AFL-ClO-which has taken
vigorous stand against cor
upton and dishonesty within
the ranks Of labor-will exam
Inc its own conscience and its
own financial books and, if it
finds any irregularities there
IN, will be ruthless i'm eliminat-
ing them as soon as possible.
Time is of the essence, for the
hard-won reputation of the
American labor movement,
whichswas established at great
personal sacrifice by our fore
bears, is al stake right now.
II ought to be emphasized
that this problem is basically
an ethical problem. This is
merely another way of saying
that a revision of union con-
Stitutlon or technical changes
in the organizational structure
OF union will not, of them
selves, accomplish very much
unless the rank and file are
convinced that they have
moral obligation, in Justice and
charity, TO assume their share
of responsibility for the poll
icies Of their unions. AS the
Bishops of Australia pointed
out in their 1850 Social Justice
Statement, no man may trade
his conscience to a political
party or labor union or. in-
deed, to any other organization.
On the eve of the first big
Congressional inquiry into the
subject of labor racketering and
pending the outcome of the
inquiry, we have nothing to
add to the above statement ex,
cept prayerful hope that the
daily press of the United
States will exercise at least a
minimum of self restraint in its
coverage of the Senate hear
ings. Our own fan mail, SO
much of which is completely
cynical on the subject of trade
unionism, is enough to con
vince us that some sections oi
the press have already done
considerable damage to the
cause OF labor.management re
lations by their previous lacl
of restraint in covering the
subject of labor raeketeering

In Cana Conferences one en-
Joys asking the question, And
why are women generally not
great leaders, great artists,
great industrialists?" Now and
then an honest may will say,
"But, Father, women do not
have a wife"
AS wonderful as women are
in their own role, women will
not be truly happy if they
usurp or enact mans role.
There is a confusion today
in what is mans role-what is
women's role. We can certainly
blame some textbooks which
overemphasize the masculine
and we can blame the many,
many women teachers, who,
through no fault OF their own,
help to feminine male students.
Am wondering who is to blame
for the pink shirts men are
wearing!
The father sets the pace for
the family. He represents the
family-just as Father" the
priest, represents the parish.
IL the fathers reputation is
good, the family's reputation
is good. If the father is
drunkard, the whole family is
dishonored. The father is us
uaIly better known in the com
munity: he must be in con
slant contact with it to make
living. II he is villain 1t
cannot be hidden. The father
officially represents the total
ity; the mother represents her
self. The whole family bears
the name of the father. His
voice has more authority in so
ciety.
II is he who works with this
society and can better affect
its course. 1t is he who can
more decisively communicate
family values to the commun-
ity. AS much as ii is woman's
job to be home-minded, it is
mans job to be home-and-so-

Soviet gold may now be buying
into American defense industries,
called today for a full investiga-
ton of the flow of foreign capital
into the United States.
In a newly released portion Of
its annual report. the subcom-
mittee noted that foreign invest
ments in this country at the end
Iof 1854 amounted to 1858 bill
lion of which Swiss holdings
were nearly SIS billion.
Swiss banks commonly allow
IdepositorS to maintain anony-
nous accounts, so that ultimate
owners could be of any ma
tionality." the report said.
Officials Concerned
The subcommittee asserted
that the investment of foreign
capital. because of its unknown
ownership. is causing concern"
for officials of the Defense and
Commerce Departments and the
Securities and Exchange Com
mission.
Soviet interest in foreign funds
coming into the United States
was demonstrated, the subcom-
mittee said. by the fact that some
Iof the $3.50 million in German
bonds looted from Berlin in 1945
by the Red army now are APP
'pearing in this country for val
idation.
One of the dangers of foreign
control of an American defense
corporation pointed up in the

trolling stockholders could be-
come privy to classified informa-
ton without the Government
knowing who these individuals
were.
