may be true with regard to
their financial practices, but it
seems to me that the NAM
(Which | consider a useful and
necessary organization in Amer
lean economic life) could per-
form a valuable service by fac.

Mr.. Shefferman and to similar
problems in the field of labor
management relations which, to
the best of my knowledge, are
not adequately covered by leg

time.
USE OF RACE HATRED
Another ex am ple that
comes to mind Immediately is
the use some companies are
making of race hatred to dis
courage or TO thwart the estab-
lishment of bona fide trade UNI
ions. You are undoubtedly
aware of the fact that this is
a growing problem in some sec
tons Of the south.
don't mean to be critical Of
the NAM when I suggest that
this is the sort Of problem
which the Association ought to
try to eliminate by the process
Of ssIf-resulstion and self.dis-
cipline. Incidentally I ann sin
eersly hoping that the AFL-cIo
will also extend the process Of
sslf.regvlation and self-diseip-
line into this area Of racial dis
elimination and racial prejudice
and that, IL necessary, II will

We are happy to be able to

WASHINGTON The 35th
Congress reassembled here in
an atmosphere which many
members gravely asserted was
different from any they have
previously known.
The problem, roughly, is that
the United States must main
tain the position of world lead
ership into which it was thrust
by World War Ii and subse-
quent developments. This is
held to be necessary, because
the alternative is to place our
selves and the rest of the
world at the mercy of interna-
tional communism.
The solution, also in broad

ing way that nothing should be
allowed to interfere with the
good of our souls. An obvious
example,, unfortunately too COM

lesson is that of a Catholic who

they are as difficult to part with
as plucking out an eye or

NO NEED % PHI. DIS


Anyone who has an aware
ness Of the needs of others en-
joys the most %ennobling expert
ence known to man, save that
of divine grace. Again this can
all best be taught at home. And
parents do not need to be Doc
tors of Philosophy to do so.
They must first get the chill
dren into frequent contact with
others their own age. One of
the many simple devices for
this could be something as ordi-
nary as teaching them the right
use of cards. Maybe a simple
game such as Old Maid or Ca
sino. They can also promote
hobbies such as photography,
chess, photograph records,
stamp collecting, and so on.
They can teach that music
and art are a language a
wonderful language.
European immigrants to the
States have recently amazed us.
Though in their native lands
they were simple plumbers or
shoemakers, here they are

tickets, to visit art exhibits and
museums.
Wise parents had taugh t
them to use leisure time as a
means of becoming more aware
of their own needs and the
needs of others. At no time
does a person reveal himself
more honestly and more tell
ingly than during his leisure
time.

You Don't Need A Phi. ID.
To Teach Use OF Leisure Time
By Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

don't know what else to do or
TO say.
CREATIVE SILENCE
Silence can, however, be
good if it is creative and ac-
tive. Silence which is passive
can make us stupid. Sacred
Scripture says, BE still and see
that | am God" This is not
passive vegetative silence. Arts
totle wrote that leisure is the
center point about which ev-
erything revolves." The saints
show us again and again that
real closeness with God is at
tanned only when God is sought
out in silence and stiffness.
II was because Of Ieisurely
contemplation that chesterton
could write in his notebook.
Praise be to God for all the
sides Of life: for friends. lovers,
art, literature, knowledge, hu-
NOR, politics and for the little
red cloud away there in the
west"
But where will we learn
what leisure is and how to use
if not at homet The art Of
communication is an important
element in the right use of lei
sure time. This also leads to
friendship and to love. We have
a great deal of laughing, jost-
ling, back-slapping in this coun-
try, but so little friendship.
$3.50 very much--loneliness.
Knowing how to communicate
with others could give us the
deep insights we need for
friendship.

To be able to fill leisure
time intelligently may be
one of the last great pro-
ducts of civilization.
For outside of religion
what we learn about the use OF
leisure time is going TO influ-
ence our lives more than any
thing else we learn. Leisure
time is not lost time.
Like the food we eat we may
not notice it, but it. certainly
affects us. When wise oldsters
retire it is rather like an auto
retiring for a long mileage still
ahead. II does not mean being
shelved or put into a junk yard.
It is not passive rest.

The gist of this letter which,

tanned in the following ex-
ccfpt: 1.-THE plain fact is that
there is already plenty OF legal
and other authority to enforce
honest business and corporate

comparable organizations would
be merely grandstand ges-
lures. Such codes are already

BY FIR. PAscHAL POLAND
On December 4, 1857,
Bishop Jose Alves Correia
ola Silva, of Leiria, Portug-
al, died at the age of IS.
For ID years he had been
the guardian of a sealed envei-
.ope containing the third secret
of Fatima.
That envelope is not to be
opened until 1860, but already
it is more widely talked about
than the other two secrets
which we're written down in
1927, but not published until
1912. Speculation as to what
this third message contains has
grown considerably during the
past Is years.
According TO recent reports,
the document is now supposed
to be in the possession Of His
Eminence MsnoeI Cardinal Con-
calves Cereieirs, Patriarch Of
Lisbon.
The only living person who
knows the contents of this third
message is Lucia Abobora. so
the last of the three shepherd
children who witnessed the
apparitions of Our Lady at Fa-
TINA in 1917. She is now Sister
Lucia, a Carmelite nun in COIN
bra.
From time TO time reports
have been circulated stating
that The third secret has been
rsveaIed-Bishop correis ds
Silva is said TO have opened the
envelope, Sister Lucia Is sup
posed TO have gone 70 Rome 70
tell His Holiness Pope Plus
XII the secret.
Both these reports have been
denied. yet the widest rumors
about the envelopes contents
have been spread abroad. These
include:
-Adolph Hitler was to have
taken the Holy Father prisoner
and, by dioboliesl means. to
have made him . maxi puppet.
Italian communists will
capture and kill the Pontiff.
The Pope will abandon
Rome and transfer the See Of
Peter across the ocean.
II and when the contents of
the third message are made
public in 1860, the thoughtful
Christian or average Catholic
might wonder about the cred
Utility of such extraordinary
matters.
Is it wrong for one not to
accept such revelations as true?
Does one sin by doubling them?
What is the teaching of the
Church?
Although certain visions and
revelations have been approved
by the proper ecclesiastical au-
thorities as being of supernat-
ural origin, the Church teaches
that Catholics are not obliged
to accept them as matters of
faith. II
Just as all Catholics are re-
quired TO keep the Ter Com.

TlUO Sussex Men
Killed In AirpLane
Crash On Saturday
CONTINUED from page one)

Frank Conoway and Harold
Downes, both of Georgetown, who
were clearing brush in the forest
about 100 yards away from the
spot where the plane crashed, saw
the flaming descent and ran to the
scene, but were unable to extricate
the bodies from the blazing wreck
age.
This Georgetown Volunteer Fire
Company and the American Legion
ambulance were summoned. Mean
while, flames scorched the grove of
trees and smoke hindered the work
of potential rescuers.
Sussex County Coroner Vollie G.
Gray said that the men apparently
died from multiple fractures and
other injuries, before the small
plane burst into flames.
Marvin Sewers, of Georgetown,
co-owner of the monoplane, who
had bade the two men goodbye at
the airport a few minutes before
the fatal crash, said that the pair
had intended to take short flight.
He said that the plane was a World
War II training craft and was in
good condition.
1t was reported that the plane
had just been sold, but that the
new owner or owners had not
taken formal possession CT the
craft.
Bowhall was the husband of
Betty ]. Roach Bowhall, and the
son of the late Orla and Freda
Bowhall, and was native of New
York, N. Y. He was member of
Sussex County Post No. 8, Ameri-
can Legion.
Other survivors include two chill
dren by a previous marriage; a
sister, Mrs. Arthur Everingham,
of Boothwyn, Pa, and brother,
Orla Bowhall, of Claymont.
The funeral was held Monday at
2 p. m. az the Carey Funeral Home,
Georgetown, with interment in Un-
ion Cemetery.
Henry. also native of New
York, moved to Georgetown last
October IA. He was the husband
of Catherine F. Henry, the father
of two children, and the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Ralph S. Henry. He was
a member of the National Rifle
Association.
The funeral was held Tuesday at
st. Paul's Episcopal Church, in
Georgetown, with the Rev. David
B. Mulford, rector, officiating.
