The top four in District 2 with

Perhaps the prettiest feather in

from Midlothian were regular

one.

James Monroe actually takes
the lead in the district with its

is being sought in Maryland
which would ban children under
is years of age from certain films
that would be designated by the
states motion picture censors.
C. Morton Goldstein, chairman
of the Maryland State Board of
Motion Picture Censors, said he
would push for such a law after
the states attorney general ruled
that special legislation was need
ed to make such a restriction. fe-
gal.
Attorney General C. Ferdinand
Sybert stated that he believed a
law banning youngsters from Gen.
sored films would be constitution
al, provided it applies to all chill
dren under Is, and that it spells
out exactly the standards of
judgment to be applied to films.
Mr.. Goldstein had asked for
the ruling. Later he asked Mr..
Sybert to draft a suitable bill for
presentation before the Maryland

Liturgy Cannot
Be sPlastered'
On Students

ST. LOUIS, NC) - Teachers
should not attempt to plaster
on" their students an under
standing and appreciation for the
liturgy, a foremost liturgical au-
thority said here.
Such an understanding should
be allowed to rise from the stu
dents own inner sacramento
life, said Msgr. Martin B. He'll
riegel,, pastor of Holy Cross
Church here.
Addressing nearly 700 high
school teachers attending the
Archdiocesan Teachers Institute
here, Msgf. Hellriegel pleaded
for more emphasis or the liturgy
in the high school curriculum.
This understanding Of the
liturgy, however, should not be
piastered on from without, but
rather should arise from an in
lei saeramenfsI life" the av-
thor Of "ovr Sung Mass" told
the teachers.
"Just as the fruit on the tree
is the outer expression of the
inner life of the tree, so also
the liturgy is the outer express
sion of a persons inner life,
nourished by the sacramental
life Of the Church"
Teachers, in particular, have a
great opportunity to further the
understanding of the liturgy by
bringing to their students a
proper understanding and ap-
probation of it.
"Today's students are tomor-
rows parents" Msgr. Hellriegel
said. sour schools must show the
way if the spirit of the liturgy
is to be brought into the homes"
