The recommendations warn
ed against imposing foreign mu-
sic and hymns on people in mis-
sion countries and urged that
missioners strive to develop a
native music and hymnody in
their various mission areas.
The recommendations end
with two suggestions:
l. That, in countries where
they do not already exist, an
association Of church musicians
be formed, with the appreciation
Of the hierarchy, TO foster the
composition of indi genous
Church music and to- afford
mutual cooperation and aneeur-

many parts of the world. Dur
ing the meetings some of the
worlds most famous choral
groups performed and took part
in discussions Of sacred music
in the light of papal teaching.
During the Congress, a let
ter from His Eminence Celso
Cardinal Constantine, Chancel-
Tor of the Holy Roman Church,
discussed sacred music in mis-
sion countries.
Mention of this subject in the
recommendations is seen as an
echo of the Cardinals state
ment: indigenous melodies
must be accepted and Chris
tanned by the Church. Sacred
music in mission countries
should be based on the native
culture of those countries"
The Cardinal stressed the
danger of insisting upon the
use of Western liturgical music
in countries which have a cul.

No sooner had the chairman
of the resolutions subcommittee
finished reading the watered
down version of the AT of rs

WASHINGTON NC)
The 1857 Christmas message Of
His Holiness Pope Plus XII
could become one of the most
discussed of papal pronounce
ments. !
There has been considerable
comment already, and it has
been generally favorable.
Nevertheless, it is entirely like
Iy that its greatest impact is
yet to come. If its plea is
needed, it could become the
budapest on the way TO real
peace. If it is ignored, it may
be regretted for many years to
come.
The address was long, some
1900 words, and it fairly bris-
tied with thought-provoking
passages. Commentators have
found a wide variety of points
on which to write. All are
agreed on the utter timeliness
Of the address given to a dozen
Cardinals in the Vatican on
December %.

Innate matters of mutual in
tereSt.
''The convention supported
the AT of T when the vote was
finally taken. The resolution, as
amended and adopted, explicit
ly condemned the National Ed
ucation Association as a COM
pany union.
VICTORY DESERVED
There was a certain irony in
this unexpected development.
The resolutions subcommittee,
in an effort to soft pedal the
fact that the NEA is a COM
pany union, actually effected
the oppisite result: If the or
iginal resolution-including the
AT of Us explicit reference to
the NEA as a company union
had been presented to the con-
vention, it probably would have
been adopted in a perfunctory
manner and the story of MEAS
persistent opposition to legiti-
mate trade unionism in the
teaching profession wouldn't
have been spread over the rec
ord in such embarrassing de-
tail.
In any event, Mr.. Megel and
his associates had the better
of the argument and deserved
the victory which they finally
achieved. The NEA, as a pro-
fessional organization, has a
legitimate role to play in Amer
lean education. Whether or not
or to what extent it is salts
factorily carrying out this role
is not for us to say.
All that We are competent to
write about is the MEAS record
in the field of trade unionism.
That record, in our judgment, is
a discredit to an organization
which prides itself SO vocally
on its devotion to the princi-
Piles of democracy and major
ity rule. For that reason we are
happy that the AFLCIO con-
vention overruled the subcom-
mittee on the resolutions and
adopted the AT of rs resolu-
ton condemning the NEA in so
many words as q company un-
ion.

Shut Hot Air
Out of House
For Cool Day

Capturing" cool night air is
one way to keep a house from
feeling the full effects of hot
summer days.
In most homes, this can be
done by closing the house up as
tightly as possible in the morn
ing to keep sunlight and hot
daytime air from warming the
cooler air that has entered the
house during the night.
Even during long, mid-sum-
mer heat waves, there is often as
much as a 20-degree difference
in temperature between the cool
est early morning hours and the
hottest part Of the afternoon.
The method Of capturing cool
night air works best in a we'll
insulated house. Thick mineral
wool-at least four inches in
ceilings and three inches in the
walls-slows down the penetra-
tion of outside heat. Owners of
existing houses can have miner
al wool insulation blown pneu-
matically into these areas. Bats
and blankets are available for
installation by home-owners or
professionals where the wall or
ceiling construction permits the
material to be fitted in place.
Awnings, shade trees, refiec-
tive screening, and vine covered
trelliSes also are important, since
these block direct rays of the
sun.
Once house has insulation
and outside shading, a good rou-
tine TO follow for more summer
comfort is:
|. Close all windows before
the sun has had a chance to
warm up outside air.
2. Draw shades, curtains, or
drapes tightly on the sunny side.
The heavier and more opaque
these are, the more effective
they are.
8. Keep doors closed through
out the day. Teach children to
to go in and out quickly.
q. Use kitchen exhaust fan to
get rid of cooking heat and mois-
ture. Automatic clothes dryers
also should be vented outside.

Soft Green Blend

On y. S. TRoofl,ops

Americans still prefer green
on their rooftops, although their
tastes run more to soft, rf1uted
tones than they did Is yeags ago,
a national study shows.
The study, undertaken in 1856
by the Asphalt Roofing Industry
Bureau, a manufacturers asso-
citation, shows that almost one
third of the asphalt shingles
shipped from plants were in soft.
blended green's.
A similar study made in l94l
revealed that 20 percent of the
asphalt shingles that year were
in a bright, solid green. More
than 20 percent were hexagonal
in shape. :
The new study shows trend
away from hexagonal shingles,
with only percent sold in 1856
Most popular today is the
square-tab strip shingle.
Preferences for color differ in
various regions of the United
States, according to the study.
On the Pacific Coast, light gray
was most popular, while home-
owners in the Northwest pre-
ferred solid black or blue-black
and gray blends.
In the Southeast, straight
white led with 24.8 percent of
the shingles sold, and in the
Southwest, white shingles totaled
l6.9 percent. In both the South-
ern regions, solid color shingles
were preferred. ~
OF the total asphalt shingles
shipped from 68 manufacturing
plants during the survey period,
ll.3 percent were white.
