THE HUNTING SEASON

The hunting season has already begun IN
some states, even though the weather is un-
comfortably hot IL most of them, and even
though the peak of the season is still some
time away.
Every year number of hunters are killed
or wounded, because of careless accidents.
Loaded guns in hunting vehicles cause some.
Hunters, of course, should not cross fences
with loaded guns, and loaded gun (0r an un-
loaded one) should never be pointed to an
other hunter. In addition to this care should
be exercised to see that the barrel is free
of foreign matter at all times, and that the
gun is in reasonably good working order,
oiled, etc.
One thing about hunting accidents which
may surprise many readers is the fact that
hunting accidents do not necessarily involve
beginners.
On the contrary many accidents occur
among veteran hunters who have become
careless or cocksure because of the long
experience they have under their belts.
AS word of advice to those who tend to
shoot quickly or get excited, one should al
ways carefully identify his target before
pulling the trigger. Every Thanksgiving Day
a number of hunters are shot down in the
brush, mistakenly identified as deer. The
hunting season of 1858 could be the best in
years if carefulness holds accidents to the
minimum, if game laws are obeyed within
reason, and if some thought is given to pre-
serving game for another year.
N%@&S
IN THE LIGHT OF FACT
Communist propaganda argues that CAPT.
talism ruthlessly exploits workers.
It's interesting to evalue that in the light
of irrefutable facts.
Last year, according to the American
Economic Foundation, about $328.4 billion
was paid out to the American people, not
counting social security and pensions.
Here's how all that money was divided.
The lions share, ISL per cent, went to en-
plOyees of enterprises and organizations.
The next biggest share, 1873 per cent was
earned by people who worked for themselves
farmers, professional men and women, etc.
Then 81 per cent was paid in interest; 81
ings are invested in corporations, and the
remainder, 80 per cent, went to property
owners in the form of rent
Adding the figures up, we find that 87.4
per cent of all the money distributed amount
ed to payments for working, as against 12.6
per cent which amounted to payments for the
use of savings. And these two categories are
not separate entities To a very great extent
they consist of the same people. About 10
million of US are stock owners. Some 21
million have savings accounts and 100 million
have life insurance policies, and many mil
lions have properties which they rent. These
all share In payments made for the use of
savings.
If this is capitalist exploitation, the whole
world needs massive doses. of it. ssss.s =

LOOK AT THE RECORD

How is Russian history taught in Amerl-
can public schools? What is said, for in
stance, of the great purges of the 1930s, of
Stalin'S man-made famine which resulted in
the starvation of millions and virtual peas
ant revolt, of the Nazi-Soviet non-aggres-
sion pact? What is said of Yalta, Tehran and
PotSdam?
Such questions crop up in ones mind
when one reads again and again, or hears on
television, the most veritable nonsense about
the Soviet system. Too many Americans
have the habit of substituting their own
wishes, sentiments and moral notions for
facts. When we move into a mood of get
ting alone with" the Russians, as we have
been doing since the Geneva summit confer
ence of 1855, an imaginary Russia is fabri-
Gated for the public and the facts of history
are often casually forgotten.
Those who seem incapable of coming to
grips with the Soviet question, and of seeing
this tyrannous system for what it is, are
increasing in number. Unless more of the
cold light of reality is focused on the nature
of the Soviet challenge, we can expect to
suffer from the follies of sentimentalsts who
detour around the stubborn facts of history.
So determined are some of our fellow cit
izens to be optimistic at all costs-even the
supreme cost of binding themselves to the
harsh truths about Soviet oppressions-Gh
they are building up new hope and new opti-
mism about the brigands in the Kremlin.
What, one wonders, did the people of ancient
Carthage say about Rome?

RECORD SHIP REPLACEMENT
PROGRAM

AS is generally known, leading American
steamship lines are, and long have been, pro
vided with differential subsidies by the Gov
ernment. This simply recognizes the fac
that it costs much more to build, maintain
and operate merchant ships in this country
than in the other maritime nations with
which we compete for cargos.
The subsidies are given under very strict
terms. For example, the ships must regu-
larly ply trade routes considered essentia
by the Government. They must be manned
with American crews. And the lines are
required to replace ship after 20 years.
This means, according to Wall Street
Journal article, that "the nations leading
steamship lines are launching the bigges
search for ship financing in their history.
Specifically, the lines will have to build more
than 800 new vessels in the next 10 to Il
years-the largest peacetime replacement
program in our history. And the cost t(
the lines, over and above Government con
tributions, will be more than billion dol
lars at the minimum Some shipping mel
think the actual figure may run as high a
two billion.
Thus the differential subsidies don't jus
automatically solve the lines economic prob
lens. The national security and welfar,
demand that we have big, modern i. S.

lines have to be on their toes to see that tina

The New Year

new year without hope for better things
in the future.
And this in the face of these incon-
trovertible facts: There is no well es-
tablished peace; Communism still ram
pages and is as dangerous as ever;
There are more divorces, more broken
homes more delinquents than at any
time in history; There are millions of
people who are Disseminated against
for mt reason or another; and more
important, there are %uncounted throngs
who do not know the name of Jesus
and what it stands for.
But still there is hope. In the apos-
tolic era, tragedy in the form Of per-
secution, actually proved to be a por-
tentsof success when martydom became
the seed of new Christians, This lesson
has been repeated down through the
centuries even to u own day.

Modern Martyrdom

: The day of %martyrdoIn is not past.
More people have died and been sub
jected to inhuman treatment at the
hands of tyrants in our time than dur
ing the age of persecution under the
Roman emperOrs.
The reason for such viciOusneSs is
always the same. Countless Christians
are deprived of life or family or health
or property because they will not put
obedience to a totalitarian government
above obedience to God. They have
placed loyalty TO Christ and His Church
above all else, and they have paid for
it.
The bishops of the United States
have designated the Sunday closest to
the Feast of st. Thomas of Canter-
bury, himself a martyr at the hands Of
a tyrant as a Day of Prayer for Per-
secuted People This coming Sunday
is that day when we are asked to re-
member our brothers in Christ through
out the world.
We can do this by a remembrance
at Mass and prayers this Sunday. We

which we can see hint at or
imply the doctrine but it does
not explicitly teach the doc
trine of the Three Persons in
one God. There are references
to the Messias in terms i'm
plying divinity tsuch as the
words of David in Psalm 100
referred to by Christ in Matt,

not accept the doctrine Of the
Trinity. Any man of solid rea-

good will accept the existence
of one all-powerful personal
God, but belief in the Trinity
must be a matter of revela-
ton. We accept it as the

aster. So we must renew our faith in
God and rededicate our lives anew
according to the pattern given us by
His divine Son.
One way of showing fidelity to God
is to make some sensible New. Years
Resolutions. The first for every Cath
Ollie should be TO hear an entire Mass
every Sunday and Holyday. Then, we
should plan to receive Confession
monthly and Communion as frequent
ly as possible.
Next, we should combat any indif-
ference to the laws of the Church by
knowing the content Of these laws and
when they apply. Finally, we should
strive to know our religion better and
live it more actively. !

should implore God before the Blessed
Sacrament at the special devotions
scheduled in our churches to restore
peace and justice to those parts of the
world where it does not exist. We must
pray that God will strengthen those
whose Faith is under attack and grant
us similar graces should we need them.
The early Christians were consoled
by Saint Peter in their hour of trial.
His words still carry enough inspira-
ton to make modern martyrs worthy
of our Catholic heritage:
Beloved, do not be startled at
The trial by fire that is taking place
among you to prove you, as If one
thing strange were happening TO
you: but insofar as you are partakers
Of the svfferings Of Christ, rejoice
that you may also rejoice. with exvl-

II was announced at this an
niversary dinner that the Buff
alo Labor College. which now
has several sectional units
throughout the diocese of
Buffalo, has directly reach
ed a total of more than 5000
trade unionists-and, indirect
ly. many more than .that--by
means Of its adult education
courses in labor ethics and Ia
Dor relations. During the past
IS years approximately 100
other labor schools, generally
comparable to the Buffalo La
Dor College, have been spon-
sored, with varying degrees of
success and for varying per-
iods of time, in other dioceses
throughout the United States.
MISLEADING
The influence of these labor
schools plus the influence of
the old Catholic Conference
on Industrial Problems, which
dates back to the 20s. plus the
personal influence of literally
scores Of bishops, priests and
laymen who have spoken and
written a great deal about the
labor problam during recent
decades-all this, unfortunate
ly, seems to have escaped the
attention of Mr.. Pfeffer.
The result is that Mr. Pfef-
fer's passing reference 10 the
work Of fhe Church in the
field Of organized labor is vsrY
inadsquafs and misleading.

the Holy Spirit. This was not
ably evident in their attempt
to attribute the works of
Christ to the devil. There is
no definite sin which cannot
be forgiven so for the ordin-
airy wellintentioned person it
is necessary only to pray for
forgiveness for his sins, con-
fess them and amend his life.
For the unreligious or anti
religious man this text has a
definite point, for they can
ignore or reject Gods grace
for a certain length Of time
and then they risk eternal
persistence in their sin.

While there is something to
