man. She was the second young
est of 16 children and her mother
died when she was a year and a
half <old. The children were
raised by gOvernesses and tutors
and were placed in schools at the
proper age. Because one of her
older brothers was troublesome
at school, Mary's father was per-
suaded to send him to a Jesuit
College. His subsequent CONVEX
sion to Catholicism ("they called
him Francis Xavier from then
on') and his entrance into the
seminary brought about many
changes in the family.
At n, Mary was ssnt to .
Catholic school l"agsinst my
wishes"l and within the year
she too became Catholic
("fhey called me Mary when
was b~aptized"). Shortly after.
her father embraced fhe faith
on his deathbed.
Mary entered college about the
time the Communists entered
Shanghai as rulers of the people.

active in many student organiza-
tions which brought her to the at

activities with the Legionnaires

that her brother was studying for

suspicion against her.

Make Ruling
On ReadmissiOn
To Seminaries

VATICAN CITY - radio, NC)
Holy See in a new decree
has instructed all bishops to re-
frain, as a general rule, from re-
admitting into seminaries those
who left of their own accord or
who have been expelled.
The decree, issued by the Sac
red Congregation of Seminaries
and Universities, says, however,
that if after prudent reflection a
bishop wishes to readmit a stu
dent into a seminary, he must Pc
tition the congregation to this eff
feet so that the fitness of the
candidate for the priesthood can
be better established.
The congregation states, how
ever, that existing regulations set
down in the Code of Canon Law
under Canon 1868, Paragraph B.
remain in force. The paragraph
stresses the care bishops must ex-
ercise before admitting students
who have been discharged from
another seminary.

teammates so many in our day, it
is necessary that you preserve in
its genuine purity the virtue of
a total abnegation."
The Holy Father then declared
that a Religious is not worthy of
Christ if he runs away from the
austerity of religious discipline
and tries to live like a man of the
world.
whoever would attempt to
destroy religious disc ] piine

He counseled the Jesuits to de-
ny themselves those things which
men of the world may legitimate
ly use. He said they should fore
go everything that is not entirely
necessary to their ultimate goal
Among these he named vacation:

regarded by some Vatican OBJ

A part of the speech that at

Pope's strong recommendation
that Religious should forego ex-
tended and costly vacations and
the use of tobacco.
The Holy Father said that it is
among the past glories of the So

"What are little girls made of"
-. goes the old nursery rhyme
and is the theme of a recently
completed study of girls between
eleven and eighteen years of age
made for The Girl Scouts of the
u.S.A. by the University of Mich
igan Survey Research Center.
Over nineteen hundred girls, a
representative cross section of
approximately 7.3 million girls
in the United States in public
and Catholic and other private
and parochial schools, were ques-
toned for the purpose of deter
mining "What Are Ad0lescent

On the one hand girls are en-

cipal parts: a section on general
instructions and one each de-
voted to motion pictures, radio
and television.
TELEvIsIoN EMPHASIZED
Television is particularly under
scored, as a new medium, for its
marvellous powers for good az
well as its great powers for cor
ruption.
"This special power which tele-
vision enjoys, of giving pleasure
within the family circle" says
the Pope lis reckoned of very
great importance, since it can con-
tribute a great deal to the relig.
ious life, the intellectual develop
ment and the habits of those who
make up the family"
For this reason, the Pontiff ex-
horts Catholics, particularly the
clergy, to turn their attention to
this new art and to give their
full and active cooperation to the
development of its advantages.
The sneyeIicaI, one Of ths
longest issued by Pope Plus XII.

Iish without delay national Of

and feIevision in every country
where they do not already ex-
isf. Such offices, fhe Pope says
sre TO be entrusted TO "men
skilled in the use Of these arts"

bishops assisting them ss i'd
visor.
In this, the Pope echoed thu
call of Plus XI, in his 1896 ency-
clical Vigilanti Cura, for Catholic
review offices for motion pictures
in every nation. In that letter, the
work of the Legion of Decency,
organized by the American Bish-
ops on a nationwide basis more
than two years earlier, was ex-
plicitly praised.
In the current encyclical, Pope
Plus states:
we urge that in each eovn-
try, these offices dealing with
motion pictures or radio or fels-
vision should depend on ons
and the same committee, or at
least act in close cooperation.
At the same time, we urge the
faithful, particularly those who
are vigorous members Of Cath.
Ollie Action, TO be suitably i'm
sfrveted 50 thar they may per.
eeive the need to give willingly
to these offices their unifed
and effective support.
"And since there is a number
of questions on this subject not
capable of easy explanation and
solution in individual countries,
it will certainly be very useful If
the national offices of each coun.
try unite into an international
association to which this Holy
See, after due consideration, will
be able to give approval"

Pope writes, should fulfill the
grave obligations of acquaintinl
