They Cut Corners for CARE

A teen-age boy in Laos had
his hand hacked of with a
machete-like knife and the
stump put in hot oil because
he had not harvested all Of
his rice for the Communists.
DR.. Tom Dooley. an Amer
lean physician in Laos, wrote
the Gordon Junior High stu
dents this in a Dear Stu
dent Council" letter thanking
them for the two midwife
kits they sent to the valley
Of Muong Sing.
A swami in India thanked
the Gordon teen-agerS for a
hand sewing machine with
accessories. students of this
village, which is hallowed by
the birth of Sri Sankarach-
arya, one Of the greatest of
saint philosophers of the
world. will cherish a kindred
feeling with you" he wrote.
In Jerusalem. the Gordon
Junior High students lent a
personal touch to their CARE
gift giving. They got a for
mer Gordon student, now liv-
ing there, to deliver two shoe
maker kits personally to new
immigrants.
1t was the rainy season in
Israel when Ariel Gaathon,
the former Gordon student.
stood soaking wet in front of
a warehouse and handed the
package to a suspicious
Moroccan and his family.
Afterwards, Ariel wrote his
alma mater, thanking them
for your very nice idea"
Now the Gordon students
have just collected more than
$500 in their latest CARE
drive. AS eighth grader Deb
bic Chapman puts it, The
letters of thanks make us
understand exactly what
happened to our money"
Maybe it's this understand
ing that gives Gordon one of
the best records in the Wash
ington area in contributing
to CARE.

By DOROTHY KICKER

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
A while ago you pub
lished . letter from . girl
who signed II "a SnOb?"
Her complaint was about
boys who expect girls to
neck and park to pay for
dates" She Is absolutely
right and 1 agree that
these boys are wrong.
But she did say. II don't
mind kissing . boy I really
like" and she's right there,
too. I am Is and have
been dating q girl who il
Is since last summer.
She refuses to kiss me
good night and won't even
hold hands with me. When
/ tried to explain to her
mother that I am very
fond Of her daughter, she
wouldn't listen and seemed
to think II would cheaper
her precious daughter.
II this girl doesn't care
for me, why would she keep
dating me? And why
wouldn't she want to show
q little affection now and
then?
JERRY.
It is rather unusual for q
boy to talk over this type OF
situation with his girl,
mother. It seems to me the
fact that you did shows you
do not have "dishonorable
intentions"
It appears this girl may b.
dating you just to have
someone to go out with. Tt
make sure my opinion wa:
logical. I discussed your
problem with several senior
high girls whose morals and
behavior are above reproach
They unanimously agreed
that when a boy and girl OF
your ages have dated several
months, the girl should be
fond enough of the boy to
want to hold hands with him
and give him a goodnight
kiss-at least occasionally.

Dear Mrs. Kicker:

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
l have a problem that Is
causing me a lot Of trouble.
My mother and father are
very strict and they insist
that when a boy asks me to
go out they must meet him.
It's not that I'm ashamed
of my parents, or my
friends, but it's embarraSs-
ing to have to tell a boy
that he must come to my
house when he has planned
to meet me somewhere else.
SHARON.
Your complaint is not really
a problem. The trouble" you
mention is not caused by your
parents but by your miscon-
ception of what is proper.
When you have a date, the
boy should call for you at
your home. Only in rare cir
cumstances is it proper for a
girl to accept a date to meet
a boy away from her home.
Dear Mrs. Kicker:
Whenever l am being
helped into my coat by a
boy I get all tangled up in
it and embarrass both of
us. Is there any way to
do il gracefully mean
one that really works?
DIANA.
The first thing to do Is
RELAX so the boys efforts
to be polite won't be turned
into a wrestling match. If he
is standing behind you and
you are not sure of the posi-
ton of the coat, look back:
locate the sleeve openings and
slip first one arm and then
the other into the sleeves.

~ nal Union was and al
ways will be our peoples most
potent vehicle on the road of
culture and spiritual heri-
tage.
The pioneers of our great
Society were a simple, God
fearing lot. After all they
were but a sampling, a cross
section, of that race upon
which Pope Leo x, in 1916
AID. bestowed the illustrious
title of "Fortissimum Ante
murale Christianitatis."
Their change of address in
no way cooled their religious
ardor. If anything, their
spiritual zeal received a
strong fillip in a strange coun-
try where at least CONVERSE
ton with their Creator suf-
fered no linguistic barriers.
AS these dedicated men or
ganized their lodges it was
natural to give these units a
name that usually bore some
religious connotation.
A check of the Unions 600
senior affiliates and 500 jun
ior branches will reveal that
most of them bear the names
of saints or some other reli-
gious significance.
First In America
It is noteworthy also that
the same pioneers who laid
the foundation Of our Soci-
ETY., Immediately thereafter
organized the first Croatian
Catholic church and parish in
America-St. Nicholas Of No.
Side Pittsburgh.
AS the Union grew and
expanded 50 did Croatian
churches for as soon as the
lodge was set up, the men,
bers then looked to their
spiritual needs.
| Within the domain of our
CFU no less than 33 churches
have been organized and are
supported by our fraternal-
lists.
In addition, the Society has
regularly and generously as
sisted Croatian schools con-
Quoted, in the main, by the
Croat parishes.
In a word then, our Soci-
ETY., though non-sectarian, is
the backbone of our Croatian
Roman Catholic faith in Anne
rica for it's members consti-
tute the faithful Of these
parishes.
Send Aid Overseas
| In addition to this impor-
tant function our Union has
now assumed, indirectly, ano-
ther role in which it's mem
bers' charitable proclivities
and spiritual fervor have been
the salvation of thousands OF
churches in the old country.

tai war and consequent reduc.

ucation 5000 superseded but
ever valuable texts such as
"The U. S. In the Modern
World" and Geography of
the American People" were
procured.
Our Society amply augmen-
ted this gift with the pur-
it's own expense, the Union
chase of 1000 other collegiate
works dealing with science,
technology, literature, etc.
Subsequently, and again at
added two sets of the re-
nowned Harvard University
Classics and two complete
sets of the National Geogra-
phic Magazine embracing the
years from 1912 to 1949.
These gifts prompted the
Good Will Publishers of
Gastonia, North Carolina,
to donate 1854 biblical
works; III Holy Name BIZ
bles valued at $50 each);
168 Catholic Action Bibles
and 79 copies of "Christian
Heritage.
These were all then pack
aged and sent to Washington,
DC, at CFU expense. From
there to their destination -
the Seminary and Institute of
Catholic Priests of Bosnia
and Herzegovina in Sarajevo
- Uncle Sam, through his

(USIA), gladly took over and
picked up the transportation
tab.
Society Is Lauded
In response to this most
worthy undertaking the rec
tor and president of the Sem
mary and Institute had, in
part, this to say - "As long
as our educational institutions
have existed nobody ever did
such a great service to our
students and professors. BY
this great gift you have made
it possible, for the first time
in our history, for our new
generations to become ac-
quainted with the progress
and scientific and cultural a.
chievements of your new
homeland, America"
without q doubt it has
been, is, and will continue
to be the strongest instru-
mentality for the perpetu-
alton of our proud Croat
language and thousand
year-old culture.
It is only because there is
a great CFU whose fraternal
empire spans an entire con.
tinent that the Croatian Ian.

years after our forebears be.

tion of funds forced just a
bout every parish in the land
to turn to it's brethren across
the seas for material aid in
the awesome task of repair
and maintenance.
H e art touching appeals
come to CFU headquarters
and these are carried in the
"Zajednicar," our official Or
gan.
In the past decade and a
half hardly an issue has
been printed that did not
carry such appeals to for
mer parishioners now scat
tered across this vast con-
tinent.
Whole pages give detailed
reports of the results of each
appeal and house to house
canvassing by dedicated indi-
viduals and groups.
Were we able to tabulate
all the gifts so collected we're
certain that the total thus far
amassed would reach into the
hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars.
We are safe in saying thai
very few churches in the
homeland exist today which
have not been the recipients
of these characteristic benev
olences of our CF'U member.

procuring some much needed
