WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
nv WILLIAM MORRIS

A San Diego reader. Mrs.
J. W. Marsh. sends IN a clip
ping from a centry-old Bucks
County tPaJ newspaper with
this item encircled; Charles
Vert has removed 10 the lower
part Of the borough. on Main
street, and commenced butcher
ing on his own hook" She asks
II I can tell her the origin Of
the phrase "on his own hook"
This Ia a phrase from the lore
Of fishermen. Whatever the
angler takes ION his own hook"
Is done on his own responsibility
and rebounds 20 his credit.
why are horseshoes sup
posed 10 be symbols Of good
luck7" asks a 81. Louis reader.
The story behind this good
luck symbol goes back at least
to the 10th century. ST. Dun
stan. later to become the Arch
bishop Of Canterbury. was
mown for his remarkable horse
shoeing ability. One day the
devil asked him 10 shoe his
cloven hoof. st. Dunstan. rec
ognizing his customer despite
the disguise. performed the task
after tying the devil TO the wall.
He made the treatment so pain
full that he soon had the devil
begging for mercy. Dunstan
finally let him go in return for
the promise that he would never
again enter a place which had a
horseshoe nailed to the wall.
Among the notables who have
shown their faith In this symbol
we can count Lord Nelson. Bri-
tain's hero at Trafalgar. Nelson
had a horseshoe nailed to the
mast Of his flagship. Victory,
but its magical powers seem to
have been somewhat circum-
scribed. Britain won the battle.
but Nelson lost his life.

CENSUS RATED
BIG SUCCESS
Very Rev. Charles P. Brown
Praises Chairmen and CO.
Workers for Survey
TRIBUTE TO BISHOP

The Most Reverend Edmond ].
FitzMaurice, DID,, Catholic Bishop
of the Wilmington diocese an
nounced that the recent Survey
for Souls" taken in the Delmarva
Peninsula which comprises the en-
tire diocese was a complete sue
cess. This was made public by
the Very Rev. Charles P. Brown,
ssh, pastor, of ST. Joseph's
Church, Clayton, at all the Masses
on last Sunday. Father Brown
expressed his appreciation to the
parish chairman, Mr.. Charles Will
liams, the assistant chairman, Mr..
James Cantillon, to all the team
captains and enumerators. Through
the columns of the Smyrna Times,
Father Brown wishes to thank
all Catholic and non-Catholic res
idents of the area comprising the
parish boundary, for the heart
warming reception accorded the
census takers. The project, Sur
vey for Souls" was a door-to-door
census to enumerate all baptised
Catholics in the diocese. On the
first day, the entire committee
members visited door-to-door 1,768
homes in the st. Joseph parish
boundary. Since then an addi-
tional 324 homes have been visit
ed. Because of the severe storm
last week, call backs" were de-
ferred These will be made this
week. All returns should be made
at the Administration Building of
st. Joseph's parish, on Thursday
evening, March q. The full CO.
operation of everyone will be APP
preciated. The late Coadjutor
Bishop of the diocese, the Most
Reverend Hubert ]. Cartwright,
DID, began formulating plans for
the Survey for Souls" early in
October, 1857. 1t will be recalled
that the late Bishop Cartwright
visited st. Joseph's on two &C.
casions last year. He was the
Diocesan Chairman for the cam
paign. His death was a shock to
all. Bishop Cartwright was bur-
led on March IL, in Wilmington,
Delaware. The Survey for Souls"
was a memorial and tribute to the
late Bishop.
