The Civil Air Patrol,

can not only be a deterrent
to Juvenile delinquency
through the activities it
provides for idle hands, Miss
Brown pointed out, but it also
supplies an introduction into
the aviation field for inquiSi-

must look increasingly to
youth to supply the scienti-
nc brainpower Of the future.
Cadet Lozano pointed out
that in only a comparatively
short time the air age has
progressed from "a few air
foils bonded together by bail
ing wire to aircraft that is
expected to fly well over the
supersonic mark and higher
than the shakespeare. But
the same spark Of initiative
that inspired our forefathers
to conquer the air is found in

|Liberinn Catholics
Need Outside Aid

ed more than a century ago
by Americans, still look to
the United States as their home
land.
American currency is the cur
.rency of Liberia. Take out the
48. stars from our American flag
and put one large star in their
place and you have the flag of
Liberia.
The country's small Catholic
- it numbers only
10000 - needs outside aid to
progress.
How wonderful if American
Catholics would adopt the
Church in Liberia as an act of
reparation for the many injus-
tees heaped upon Negroes in
the past and in the present.
In 1922 q small band Of
American pioneers landed on
the coast Of Africa TO esfab.
Iish q new nation. There was
something unusual about this
group. They were all Negroes.
They came not to take by
force but to purchase land for
their homes. Everything was
against them - the hostile
tribes; the hot, humid climate,
and the insects that carried fe-
yer. But despite all, this gallant
band of American Negroes per-
severed and in 1847 the Repub-
lie of Liberia came into being.
Who can blame them if they
were suspicious of the white
man who had snatched their an
cestors from these African
shores to lead them into slav'
cry. But today the white man is
welcomed in Liberia to assist in
the economic and social i'm
provement of the people.
The very first foreign mission
undertaken by the Catholic
Church in America was here in
Liberia. Few will remember the
names of Bishop Barron and
Father Kelly who left Philadel
phia more than a hundred years
ago to care for the Catholics ir
the pioneer group. Protestant
missionaries were here from the
very beginning of the expert
ment. And the work of Bishop
Barron lasted only a few years
So too we're the efforts of the
Holy Ghost Fathers and the
Montfort Fathers without visible
results.
It was not until 1906 that the
Church got a foothold in this
little republic. The Fathers Of
the Society of African Missions
established themselves in Cape
Palmas and spread along the
coast from there.
Bishop John Collins, Vicar
Apostolic of Monrovia and Pa
pal Internuncio to Liberia, ha!
spent As years in this country
When no roads existed, hi
tramped from one end of it tt
the other. He has matched the
tremendous progress of the las
Is years and his only regret il
that the Church, through lack o.
funds, has not been able to g
forward in the realm of the spir
itual in the same degree tina
the nation has gone forwart
materially.
/ have visited the bush mis-
sions and Cape Palmas, which i

Diamonds and gold are here. 4
modern capitol sits atop a hill
within sight of the porch from

Monrovia must struggle aloni
on a pittance.
In this land of perhaps 1000,
900 people there are only 10,OO(
Catholics.

priests in the Diocese and al
so the number of converts.
