This is the second grant to be
set aside for the camp by the
Kresge Foundation. In 1855, the
foundation gave $4,000 to the
camp and the college raised Si3,-
900 to more than match the sum.
With these funds, plus some vol
unteer labor, the camp was able
to open last November for class
groups under 40 pupils.
Outdoor education through school
camping is still something of a
pioneer development, and the Glen
Helen School Camp is the first Of
its kind in southwest Ohio. Public
school camping, such as is avail
able there, enables a teacher and a
class to live together for a week in
an all-weather camp, Mr.. Gould
explained.

The Ohio farm woods owner can
make good use of low grade lum-
Der produced on his own place,
Dean points out He can use it for
framing, rafters and foundation
timber in conventional farm build
ings. He can sell high grade mar
ketable trees, such as white oak,
walnut. white ash, tulip poplar and
sugar maple for special uses, such
as veneer, handle cooperage, floor
ing and factory lumber.
Both the Ohio woodland owner
and the timber operator are in
good positions to gradually build
up quality and volume production,
Dean says. He suggests leaving
high quality growing stock, prefer
ably 16 inches or under in dame
ter, harvesting mature and over
ripe trees, removing or girdling
hollow or Gull trees, using brush
killers on grade vines and weed
trees and protecting woods from
grazing and fires.
Winter is the ideal time to har-
vest timber, Dean explains. Trees
can be selected easily for size and
quality and moved over frozen
ground or snow to sawnills or
markets

Grove City Studies Plans
For Sewage Treatment Unit

Dill pointed out is "just isn't
good planning" for Grove City to
build it's own plant close to Co
lumbus but there are political
considerations involved" in join
ing the Columbus system.
A PETITION from about 100
resident of the Hoover Road area
near the present sewage treat
ment plant asked Grove City take
their plant somewhere else.
Lewis said a special census to
acquire city status would cost
about S1170. Grove City will be-
come a city in any event after the
1860 census, it is expected.
V. j. Ullman, superintendent of
the Southwest School District,
said if Grove City becomes city
the school district, most of south
west Franklin County, could then
function as city district if the
board of education chooses. There
would be only a Slight change in
finances" he thought.
FACED WITH A request from
the Regional Planning Commission
to help straighten Stringtown Rd.,
scheduled to become an important
thoroughfare, Council asked Dill
to meet with commission staff
mmbers.
Seven acres of land including
the site of Grove City Methodist
Church along Stringtown Rd. east
of town was annexed, resignation
of Richard Clark from the park
board was accepted and Joseph

GROVE CITY-Five ways of
providing adequate sewage treat
ment facilities, ranging in cost
from $225,000 to S775,0O0, were
suggested to Grove City Council.
Engineer Harold C. Dill of
Columbus told Council he hoped
a choice would be made at the
Feb. 18 meeting.
The Ohio Board of Pollution
Control will demand detailed
plans by April Is before extend
ing the Grove City permit, Dill
said.
Some of the effects of attaining
city status were outlined by So
licitor John H. Lewis in a report
to Council.
Lewis suggested many "compli-
cations can be eliminated" if vii
lage officers are elected for 1858
1860 before city status is certified.
GROVE CITY could then oper-
ate as city under more flexible
and efficient" village government
and have time to decide and pre-
pare its city form of government,
Lewis said.
Unless there is a charter, the
law requires too much machine
ry' for small cities, Lewis ex-
planned
Sewage plant possibilities out
lined by Dill are:
/. Enlarge present plant, to cost
100000 for city of 10000 or
$5O0,000 for 5000.
2. Build new plant on Scioto
River, plant and sewers to cost
$575,000 for 10000 or $775, 900 for
$1,000.
3. Run trunk line into Co
lumbus sewage treatment plant
for $285 900.
4.Run a line to proposed Co.
lumbuS sewer along Big Run, at
a cost of $225,00O.

sanitary sewage district.

Green Means To Go

henceforth you shall catch men"
Let us think of the story this way. Peters
boat is the Church. Christ is the captain. Peter
the helmsman. The helpers are the other Apos-
ties. The nets are Christ's doctrine. The Chris
tians are the fish taken out of the waters OF
baptism. The voyage is over the sea of life to the
shore of heaven. This is a very nice smile and
can be translated into present conditions in the
Church. All but two of the factors remain the
same. Peter, however, becomes the Pope; and
the Apostles become the bishops and priests.
We are quite like the fish when we think
of the net of Gods mercy enveloping us and
raising us up to union with Himself. After all
it was Gods generosity and not our deserving
merit that brought us to baptism. But here
the fish story ends. Baptism changes us. 1t is
here that we receive the power to become sons of
God, as we read in the Last Gospel of the Mass.
We are changed from being just Gods creatures
to being His children. Because we are His
children. then His home is our Fathers house,
and so our home also.
Now just because we have a claim upon heav-
en-. this does not mean that it is within easy
reach. Saint Paul mentions in the Eplstle for
the same Sunday that, "We ourselves groan with
in ourselves, waiting for the adoption as sons
of God, the redemption of our body" In other
words life, even the life of the children of God,
is lived in a valley of tears, and many times we
long for the joys of the resurrection. But all
this earthly suffering is not without hope. Saint
Paul also says, 81 reckon that the sufferings of
the present time are not worthy to be compared
with the glory to come that will be revealed in
u.s. So we are encouraged to lead the Christian
life in patient hope.
The Christian life is a life of virtue. There
fore, to advance, to go forward means to develop
virtues. 1t is the purpose of the Pentecost Sum
days to present for our instruction these virtues,
to present for us the pattern of perfection.
Not many weeks back we mourned the blood
bath of Christ, the cost of our redemption. We
exulted in His glorious resurrection. On Pente-
cost day we were strengthened by the Holy Spirit.
Just recently we were nourished by the feast
of Corpus Christi and kindled by the fire of the
Sacred Heart. Indeed, as children of God we are
aimed and charged! Pentecost green is the signal
to move, to grow, to go.-B.M.

We were more than a little interested to learn
that Father John A. Shocklee of st. Thomas Aqui-
mas High School, st. Louis, reports no loss of
vocations from coeducation at the high school
level. Speaking before the Vacations Section Of
the National Catholic Educational Association in
Milwaukee recently, Father Shocklee said that a
survey conducted by him revealed agreement
among principals of 83 co-educational high
schools that 1.-THE boy-girl proximity had little
or no effect on religious vocations."
Here is a confirmation from statistics of a
pet idea we have held for years, and also Str1k-
ing statistical evidence against a false view OF
v~ocations to the religious life.
We have long maintained that a true voca-
ton is pretty impervious to the lures of the
world provided that it be properly nourished in
a good home and school and strengthened by
prayer. The boy or girl who decides to marry
because of a more or less chance acquaintance
with a desirable partner has not lost his or her
vocation; the vocation simply was not there.
Or you can put it the way the late Father
Dyer, former Provincial of the Sulpican Fathers,
is said to have put it. The story goes that a wor-
ried hospital sister once told him in great alarm
that one of his seminarians then confined to the
hospital was losing his vocation and falling in
love with one of the nurses. Father Dyer, they
say, answered: Sister. he is not losing his vo-
cation. He is finding it,"
A religious vocation means, roughly, the
right intention on the part of the candidate. nee
essary gifts of mind and body and character and
grace, and for the priesthoodO the c%anonical

date. If the requisite qualities be present, this is

the opportunity. If these three requirements be
missing. or any one of them, there is no voca-
ton.
Now as for the false idea of v~ocations which
Father Shocklee dispels, too many people think
that, to discover a vocation to the religious life
or any variety of it, one must first look for some
anemic Pre-Raphaelist figure, a travesty of the
real mystic, some willOwy wiSp of a girl with
fatuous ideas of "piety" or some effeminate
character who could not make his way at all in
the world he would forswear.
Genuine vacations and long fruitful careers
which are their expression, on the contrary, are
found only among the representative young men
and women whom Father Shocklee and thou
sands of others teach in innumerable Catholic
schools!
Hence we were very much pleased to have
an educator, drawing on his own experience
that the average percentage for the number of
and that of others in the same field, declare
religious ~vocations in coed schools was the same
as that for schools enrolling only boys or only
girls.
WHY should it not be that way?
At the same time let us make no mistake
about our appreciation of and reverence for
preparatory seminaries. Such institutions are the
ideal place for a youngster with a vocation. And
it is not alone for the seasoning the prep
seminary affords, but equally for the concen-
trated studies in subjects related essentially to
the future candidates scholastic work. The SEM
~inarian's grasp of Latin and other languages
begun in the prep seminary gives him a tremen-
dous advantage over a student without such an
invaluable background.

There is hardly anyone in our country who
does not know the color signals for traffic.
red for stop, green for 60. These are syniDvis
or signs that tell us what we are supposed to do
when we are on our way some place. The I'M
portance Of these signals is impressed upon
the minds of little children; older people are
able to understand just how important they
are. But while we are conscious of traffic c%olors,
how many of us notice the color signals in
church?
Actually there are six different colors, which
the Church uses regularly, to signal us. Red
tells us of the fire of the Holy Spirit and martyrs
blood. Green reminds us of growth and living
things. White shows purity, JOY, sainthood.
Violet speaks of sin and sorrow. Black stands
for death.
On Sundays after Pentecost the. altar fur
nishings and the priests vestments have been
green. The sign of growth and living things!
Nature tells us that living things change, advance,
develop, aiming at becoming perfect specimens
whether they are plants, or animals, or people.
This law of nature applies also to supernature.
The Church green then is the signal to 60, to adj
vance toward heaven. But remember, only the
perfect enter heaven. So the Church-green is
the signal for us to get down to the serious
business of becoming perfect, of getting ready
for heaven.
This coming Sundays Gospel story indicates
how we we're aimed toward heaven. 1t goes like
this. Christ had been teaching the people near
the shore of the Lake of Genesareth. They had
been so anxious to hear that they were crowd
ing him. To make things more comfortable
Christ got into Peters boat and pushed out a
little from the shore and finished his instruction.
He then told Peter to move out to deep water
and lower the nets for a catch of fish. Peter
replied that they had been unable to catch any
fish all night long, but at Christ's command he
would lower the nets. You can imagine Peters
surprise when the nets became so full of fish
that they began to break. In order to get all
the fish they had to call another boat to help
them. Even then both boats were so loaded that
they sunk low in the water. When Peter and
the others saw the great number of fish they
knew that Christ had performed a miracle, and
they were afraid of him.. But Our Lord Gained
them and said to Peter, "Do not be afraid:

the soundest principles Of JUS
tice."
There are several things
wrong with this extravagant
apologize for the Spanish system
of labor-relations. In the first
place, for all practical purpos-
es, there is no real freedom of
economic association in pres
ent-day Spain. In other words,
there are no genuinely free
or autonomous unions and en-
ployers' associations.
The so called "Syndicates" in
which labor and management
are jointly represented are, to
a large extent, directly con-
trolled by the government.
Surely this is a major defect
in the Spanish system of labor
relations. To argue that it is a
necessary on inevitable defect
under present circumstances
would be one thing. but to
characterize it as an asset or a
positive virtue rather than a
fundamental weakness in the
system is something else again.
Secondly, strikes and lock-
outs are absolutely prohibited
in Spain at the present time.
Franco defends this prohibi-
ton on the practical grounds
that Spain. in her present eco
nomic p~redicament, simply can
not afford the luxury of work
stoppages. They are, he says,
contrary to the common good,
which states are called upon to
defend" Even assuming that
this is true, we are still faced
with the stubborn fact that an
absolute prohibition of strikes
and lockouts-while it may be
temporarily justified under a
given set of circumstances
