IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE

Curtain keeps from visiting the
center of Christendom. The idea
sprang in part from the striking
aptness of many of the Passion
tide Masses, psalms, antiphons
and other chants to the position
of the prosecuted Church and peo-
pie behind the Iron Curtain.
Typical of the material broad.
cast was the Communion anti
phon from the Monday Mass.
MAY they blush and be struck
with fright--who rejoice in my
ills, be they clad with shame
and fear who speak evil against
me-"
On Tuesday were heard por-
tions of the Passion according to
st. Mark such as Christ's words
at Gethsemane. my soul is sor.
rowfuI even unto death" and on
the Cross, MY God, My God, why
have You forsaken Me?"
Holy Thursdays selections
struck the theme of sacrifice, from

On Holy Saturday listeners
will hear such selections as fhe

Lord, what has happened TO Us:
look, and see our disgrace. Our

signers."
The series ends on the note
of hope on Easter Sunday with Sc.
lections such as the Introit of the
Mass, Il have risen," and the
hymn, Queen of heaven rejoice.
Some of the music and many OF
the typical sounds and process

in previous years. Most of the
music used, however, was espec,

Holy Week in Rome Being Carried
To Millions Behind Iron Curtain

ROME - (NC) - Radio
listeners in eastern Europe
this year are being carried
| in spirit to Rome during
Holy Week through a series
of radio broadcasts from the
free world.
The Voice of Free Poland, one
of the five stations operated by
Radio Free Europe. is conducting
a series of daily half-hour broad
casts which began Palm Sunday
and ends Easter Sunday.
In each Polish exile commen-
tator describes the spirit of the
days liturgy and how it is car
ried out in Rome. Listeners then
hear parts of the days liturgy
sung by Roman choirs.
The material assembled for
broadcast to Poland, which has
the largest Catholic population in
eastern Europe, is also being
used in various Holy Week pro-
grams by other RIFE stations

High Schools,
All Catholics
Responsibility

CINCINNATI - tNC) - To
build Catholic elementary schools
is the responsibility of the indi-
vidual parishes, but to build
Catholic high schools is the re-
sponsibility of the entire Catholic
community.
This thought was addressed to
the Catholics of the Archdiocese
of Cincinnati by the head of the
See, Archbishop Karl J. Alter, in
pastoral which announced a
goal of S6 million in a drive for
expansion of regional high
schools in the greater Cincinnati
area.
An estimated increase of about
SIS per cent in high school en-.
rollment by 1864 LED the A,ch-
bishop to ask Catholics tc sup
port the drive. Three more re-
gional high scnools are scheduled
to be built and substantial addI-
tions to three ,xisting schools
will be made. There are now IA
regional high schools in the arch
diocese, ten of them for girls.
Even now" said the Arch
bishop, ."the registration of fresh
men classes for our high schools
in September far exceeds the ca
pacity to care for them Each
year the pressure will become
greater. There can be no further
delay. We must take action now"
The drive for funds will be
known as "The Archbishop's High
School Fund Campaign" The
project will involve about 10000
volunteers whose task it will be to
contact each of the estimated 63,-
600 Catholic wage earners in the
Cincinnati area for contributions

olic schools.
With many more elemen-
tary parochial schools there
than in the United States,
the Church has assumed a major
part of the burden of providing
an education for inhabitants of
that Central African territory.
Despite these facts, the Belgian
government has been trying, indi-
rectly. to close Church-operated
schools in the Congo by taking
away their government subsidies
and constructing state schools.
1t is with very good reason,
then, that His Holiness Pope Pi-
us XII is asking that special pray
ers be said this month for the
schools of the Belgian Congo.
Their peaceful existence and
development is being threatened
by an anti-clerical government,
which is setting up a new school
system in which religion and re-
ligious teaching are looked upon
as entirely secondary, and not
belonging among the essentials
of education.
