Why Jews Mourn

that Pspsl nyneios in other
countries freely issued PRO

Thus, Jews threatened by the
Nazis were placed under Vat.

Thirdly, Catholic monster.

Italy opened their doors TO
Jewish victims of Nazism and
SO these monssferies land con-
vents) became known as hid
ing places for entire families
Of Jews.
Fourthly, thousands of Jews
were smuggled out of Nazi-
occupied France by an under
ground movement organized
by Father Marie-Benoit, a
French Capuchin, under au-
thority from the Vatican.
Finally, Zukerman says that
the Pope's encyclicals and pas
toral letters and the sermons
of Catholic bishops denoun-
cling Nazi treatment Of the
Jews were 'the only rays of
light in the long, dark night
of Nazism and they provided
the hope and comfort which
the Jews needed as much as
the physical aid in a time Of
their greatest anguish"
In his inspiring eulogy of
Pope Plus, at st. Patrick's Ca
thedral on October 18th, Bish-
OPP Griffiths also cited the
Pope's aid to Jews during the
War. He said that 100. 900 cas-
es Of assistance to prosecuted
Jews were processed in the
Vatican.

The bomb explosion in
the Jewish temple at At
lanta was a shocking af-
front to freedom of con-
science. 1t was motivated
by the same sub-human
hate that flogged the
prosecuted Jews in Nazi-Ger-
many and drove them into the
gas chambers.
BY coincidence, the New
York HersId-Tribvne carried
a letter about Pope Plus XII
and the Jewish persecution at
about the same time as the
Atlanta episode occurred. In
its October 18th issue, the pa
per published a letter from
William Znkerman. editor of
The Jewish Newsletter.
The Jewish editor began his
letter by saying that there is
no mystery about the great
number of expressions of Jew
ish sympathy brought forth
by the death of Pope Plus XII.
s'There probably was not a sim
gle ruler of our generation
who did more to help the
Jews in their hour of great
est tragedy, during the Nazi
occupation of Europe, than
the late Pope"
Then he went on to cite
some facts about lone of the
greatest manifestations of hui
manitarianism in the 10th
century" First, when the Ger
mans occupied Italy, the Pope
threw open the grounds of the
Vatican and Catholic church
es OF Rome as a sanctuary for
Jews. Any Jew who managed
TO reach the Vatican was adj
mitted without question and
thereby removed from Nazi
jurisdiction.

il. 1t implies being without
the company OF others but
likewise the earnest wish to
be with others. Lonesomeness
can take place in a crowd or
in isolation.
One is conscious of being
lonesome and can take steps
to relieve this feeling. 1t is
nothing that we should really
be concerned about.
Aloneness also implies be-
ing without company. Eric
Fromm speaks Of a moral
aloneness" in which one real
ICES that he alone must make
a final decision on what is the
right or wrong thing to do.
Being alone can also mean
that one has retreated tenn
porarily from the social
stream.
A scientist does just that
when he wants to avoid dis
fractions. Being alone offers
an opportunity for concentra-
ton. II is desirable and often
essential. II is possible to be
alone without being lonesome
or lonely.
DISCUSSES
Loneliness, however, Is not
associated with health and
well-being. 1t is not something
one seeks or desires. II has
often been defined as "the
condition of an individual who
desires contact with others
but is unable to achieve it,"
This inability can be due to
the inherent character of a
person or to some external
circumstances in society.
There are degrees of loneli-
ness-some simply expressed,
some violently expressed.

Making Marriage Click
We Need Social Life
But Also Privacy
By Msgr. Irving A. DeBIanc


The story was recently
reported in the press that
a certain lady died alone
in a small one : room
apartment. She had kept
a diary in which she had
written for every day of the
past year, these words only:
"No one came"
Shortly afterwards an an
enymovs donation was re-
eeived in the same city by a
Welfare Agency with this
message: From another lady
who writes in her diary: Ne
one eame-thsnk soodnessI"
We do need social contacts
but we also need privacy.
We must always distinguish.
II is possible TO enjoy soil

There is no subject about

SUICIDES
One of the ways in which
sociologists measure the men,
tai health of a community is
by noting the proportion OF
suicides to the population.
Ever since the first study of
suicides was made about $50
years ago it has been realized
that isolation and loneliness
are possibly the most import
ant factors that make for
suicide.
Doctor Peter Salisbury re.
Iisbly showed that the Lon
don 6orovshs with the highest
rates Of suicide are those with
the greatest proportion Of peo-
pie living alone. N may be
helpful, however, TO consider
the differences between lone.
somensss, s~Ionsnsss and lone
illness.
Lonesomeness is a common
experience. We have all had

A squad, B squad and Freshmen
compiled a record of 48 wins and
but 10 losses.
Heading the list of course, are
the Glass A conference and State
Champions, Sidney's Golden
Eagles" This team won FL Class
A games without a loss and split
in four non-league tits. The B
squad won IL of 10 games and
the Frosh IS of IA.
The State Champions scored a
total of 1851 points to their OPP
ponents' 1887. In rs games they
had a 58.4 game average to the
opposition's ASS. Not quite the
best offensive record among the
10 Glass A schools but by far the
best defensively.
Individually the locals had three
scorers averaging in the double
figures: Unanimous All State Ron
Quilting led the list with 1855
points in rs games for a 14.6 av-
erage. John Marman made 278

Shortage Of
Registered Nurses
Creates Problem

The shortage of registered
nurses at Community Memorial
Hospital has become so acute that
by the end of the month there
will not be sufficient professional
nurses to staff the various units
Of the hospital.
Sidney has been fortunate thus
far in having a sufficient num-
Der of registered nurses living in
this area who were qualified and
willing to serve at the hospital.
Many assumed the responsible
ties of full-time positions, while
others, because of family RESPONSE
bilities, have been able to work
only a few days each week.
Since there is a shortage of
$4,000 nurses in the country, many
small communities have had only
one or two graduate nurses for
the local hospital and some have
had none. In some places, the To-
cal hospital has had to close its
doors for lack of professional
help.
The Community Memorial Hos
pital has prided itself on the quail
ity of care it has provided for
the people in this community,
but such care cannot be main
tanned without an adequate staff
of registered nurses. While much
of the bedside nursing care can
be given by practical nurses and
aides under the supervision of the
professional nurse, there are so
many procedures and treatments
which can be given with safety
only by the physician or regis
tered nurse.
The reason for the shortage of
professional nurses at this time
is that a number of the best
nurses on the staff at the hos
pital have had to resign. The
reasons for this are: l. Pregnancy.
2. Entering the Air Force. 3. Hus-
band transferred to another state.
4. Desire to work in a larger hos
pltal. B. Husband completing his
education. 6. To accept a better
position. z. To further her nursing
education.
While all of theseireasons are
legitimate and understandable, it
has left the hospital with an
insufficient number of profession
al nurses for the needs of its
patients.
An appeal is being made to the
registered nurses in this area, who
are not working, to help out in
this emergency situation. While
full-time nurses are needed, the
help of part-time nurses can be
utilized and will be very much
appreciated. Registered nurses in
terested in offering their services
should call Miss Coleman, director
of nurses, at the hospital.

Public Service
Hearing Draws
Goose" Support

The North Dakota Public Ser
vice hearing at Cartwright Tues
day through Thursday of last
week drew capacity crowds and
witnesses for and against the re-
placement of the Goose" by the
proposed "Bruck" service. The
Great Northern Railroad said II
proposes to operate the Bruck out
of Williston through Alexander
following route % to Sidney ana
Richey. Another bus would serve
the area beween Alexander and
Watford City, connecting with the
Williston-Sidney-Richey Bruck.
A large majority of the Witness
es from the areas involved with
the proposed change opposed the
substitution of the bruck. A num-
Der of communities question the
ability of the bruck to meet pro-
posed schedules with a result of
poorer service for mail, passen-
gers and express. Dan Price APP
peared for the TRANSPORTATION
Committee of the Sidney Chamber
of Commerce and pointed out the
need for better transportation con-
nections between each of the
towns involved. He emphasized
the desire for better service for
each of the communities, such as
a modernized passenger Goose and
voiced Chamber opposition to loss
of service for areas such as Dore,
Molly and Buford-Trenton.

ers and railroad officials headquar-
tered at Sidney during the hear
ing. Community groups at Cart
wright served excellent meals
each day at the Cartwright hall.

pected some time in the near flu

Farmers Urged
To Plan Early
For Labor Needs

Farmers and ranchers in this
area can help avoid local labor
problems by planning for their
labor needs ahead of time and let
ting the Montana State Employ
ment- Service office know as early
as possible how many workers
they will need and for what peri
cd.
This is the suggestion of Jack
Egee, manager of the Sidney EN-
ployment office.
In 1857 the local employment
office placed 1856 job applicants
in gainful agricultural employ
ment. "The farmers and ranchers
have been very cooperative in
the past with our office" Mr..
Egee stated, "but they still face
the task of getting seasonal help.
1t is the task of the State Employ
ment Service to try to supply this
vital manpower."
willingness on the part of
farmers to employ and train in
experienced workers tend to ease
recruitment problems" Mr.. Egge
added.
Prospective farm workers can
help too, according to Mr.. Egge,
by registering as soon as possible
with the Sidney Employment Ser
vice Office.
The manager stated that the
local office is a supplement to the
direct relations between farmer,
rancher and worker, serving as
a clearinghouse. "If the farmer
tells us of his labor problem, it
will help us to help him get the
workers he needs at the right
time" he asserted.
Mr.. Egge suggests that farmers
and ranchers contact either the
