@. Is scandal considered an
additional sin? Can the sin be-
incurred without one know
ing? Can ii be . mortal sin
without our knowing it7 4
A. Scandal constitutes extra
malice to a sin or an additions
al sin when we are aware of
that complication connected
with an action. If we do not
realize that scandal is likely
and if that lack of realization
is not due to neglect or DELHI
crate thoughtlessness there
can be no sin of scandal. We
can never commit a mortal sin
without knowing it. Scandal
consists of the harmful effect
upon the conscience of 9TH
ers because of our imprudent
or sinful action, and its malice
is increased by the likelihood
of the influence and by the
reasons apart from SIM we
have for an action. There is
scandal that comes from an
innocent action (e.g. eating
meat on an abstinence day
which is a holiday and on alb
stinence day which is a holt
day and so not bindirg) which
is not sinful although we
would show prudence and
charity even in these cases.

We never conquer lone
illness in its more subtle
forms until we face the
fact that there is an alone
ness common to all of us.
In every heart there remains a
room in. which no one else can
walk. We long to usher others
In but nobody comes Often
nobody can come!
We are sometimes forced to
ask. who really knows me-"
"Whom do l really know"
This can be the most poignant
loneliness known to human
beings. 1t can also be our rich
est conquest; for it involves
the spiritual. II could be one
of Gods ways of claiming His

like the angels, We have not

We can, therefore, never be

alove reflected in man. 1t is be-
cause of Him and our innate

On April 8, 1857 the
United Automobile Work
ers' Information Union
amended its Constitution
to provide for the estab-
tlishment of a Public Review
Board to be made up of sev-
en- impartial persons of good
public repute, not working
under the jurisdiction Of the
JAW or employed by the In
+, ternational Union or any OF
Its subordinate bodies"
This Board was given the
final and binding decisions on
all cases appealed TO it in ac-
cordance with Article 80 Of
the international Cons It'll
ton, and to deal with matters
related to alleged violations
of any AFLCI0 Ethical Prac-
tees Codes and any additional
Ethical Practices Codes that
may be adopted by the Inter-
national Union. article 81 of
the International Constitution
deals with the rights of indi-
vidual members or subordi-
nate bodies OF the UAW.)
THE RECORD
The reaction of the press
to the establishment of this
board was, in general. very
favorable. Not altogether un-
expectedly, however, a mi
nority of influential editors
and columnists rather sum-
marily dismissed the JAWS
creation OF the Public Review
Board as a cynical public re-
lations coup.
| said at the time, in this
column, that nothing could be
more futile than TO engage in
an . Priori controversy with
i these dlsgruntled critics of
the JAW and added that, as
snne of the members OF the
Public Review Board, | would
be perfectly willing TO let the
i record speak for itself.
AT that time, OF course,
there wasn't any record, for
the Board had yet to hold its
first meeting and some of its
members had yet to lay eyes
On one another for the first
time. Meanwhile, however,
the Board has had time to
build up a fairly extensive
record, which is adequately

PEACE TO WHOM
BY FIR. BRUCE yAwTER, C.M.

We who speak English,
whatever our religion, have
in common a literary tradi-
ton that has been formed
with and by the Authorized
king James, Version of the
Bible. Practically day by day
we quote the language of this
translation, without even be-
ing conscious of it, as we
use C t omary English
idioms and turns of speech,
just as we so often quote
Shakespeare without know
ing it.
ON THE OTHER HAND, the
Catholic is at times made very
much aware of the difference be-
tween the Authorized Version
and his own English Bible, when
there is question of certain we'll
known passages which he has
heard since a child. One of
these will be brought to his at
tention again quite soon.

Lords birth will be told once

1880, and the Catholic tranSia-
ton made at Rheims in 1882.
They were made not from the
Greek directly but from the La
tin Vulgate, itself a more ancient
translation, of course, where ap-
peared the words familiar to us:
pax hominibvs bonae voiunfa-
fis,"-"peace to men of good
will"
THE KING JAMES transla-
tors could say, with some justice,
that in going back to the original
Greek they were on firmer
ground than those who followed
the Latin Vulgate, which, at
least in this instance, seemed to
be erroneous translation.
BUT MODERN SCHOLARS
now agree that the Vulgate was
a faithful translation after all.
Better Greek manuscripts than
the ones known or at least reco-
gnized in the time of the King
James Version have since come
to light, and they support the
Vulgate text.
THEY SHOW that when the
Vulgate translation was made,
it was made from a Greek text

THE CATHOLIC is USED to
a different version of these
words from st. Luke's Gospel, a
version that is Incorporated in
the Gloria of the Mass: GLORY to
God in the highest, and on earth
peace to men of good will" He
may also wonder why this diff

to the festival of the Magi
which is held on January 6,
the Epiphany of Our Lord.
This, the twelfth day of
Christmas, is the day on
which the people of Spain
exchange gifts. This day
means as much to a Spanish
child as December IS does
to an American child.
ON JANUARY s, 1859 a new
note was added. Americans
were present at the festival of
the Magi. Air Force musicians,
under the direction of Lieuten-
ant Richard c. Daughterty,
came from their camp in Eng
land to take part in the Horse
Parade that Madrid stages every
year, Afterward they visited the
various o~rphanages. schools and
children's hospitals in Madrid.
THUS THE SPANISH children
who happily expected at Chris
tmaS time the coming of the
Kings OF the Orient with their
load of toys and candies, had
last year another attraction. They
saw a parade of soldiers of one
OF the greatest powers in the
world who came to join the hom-
age to the generous Kings who
reward good boys and girls.
1T is a FACT that up to seven
and eight years of age, the chill
dren in Spain firmly believe in
the three Magi and wait for them
to throw down through the Chin
ney, or leave next to their shoes,
or the fireplace, or behind Win
dows, their expected gifts. The
next morning very early they
are ready to start their rum
pusin joyful spirit.
cRoWN.uPs ALSO follow the
traditional expectation as par
ents. relatives and friends ex-
change gifts. To this expectation
the parade of the three Magi adds
strength and the toys and gifts
are intended mainly for the
poor and the sick. The addition
of the United States musicians
was, therefore, highly welcome
by children and grown-upS alike.
IN MANY PLACES both Span
ish and American children join
ed their laughter during the
festivities. This was particularly
true of the military bases. The
Chlplains OF the 10th Air Force,
stationed in Spain celebrated
Christmas Mass in their chapels
and then attended a special
Christmas breakfast.
IN SCHOOLS ATTENDED by
the children of the American
servicemen Christmas trees were
erected.
At one place there was one
tree with more than 1000. gifts
from American children to little
Spanish boys and girls.
THIS HAPPENED at the Mad
rid American College where the
teachers had also prepared the
children for singing of Christ
mas Carols in Spanish. Despite
the language barrier the Ameri-
can children made fourth place
among the % school groups parti-
cipating in the local Christmas
Carols contest.
AT THE AIR BASE in Tore
jon there was also a big feast
for the Children of the neighbor-
hood. Four hundred of them came

was Captain Jack" better known
as ''St. Nicholas of the Air.
OF COURSE, most children
know that Saint Nicholas comes
through the air in his sleigh
loaded with toys and gifts ou
Christmas Eve, pulled by the fly-
ing RENDERS.
But not SO in Spain.
CAPTAIN JACK n. cAPERS,
attached to a supply Air Force
group, had been flying back and
forth over more than 500 miles
in his inspection trips over the
oil pipeline being built from
Zarogoza to Madrid and from
there to Rota. His job was to
see that no brakes or leakages
went unchecked by the work
erS.
In doing this he had to fly low
all the time. In this manner he
Don became a close friend OF
all the children on the route who
waved to him from the ground as
he went by.
WHEN CHRISTMAS TIME APP
preached, Captain Jack" thought
that ii would be wonderful to
drop a few packages of candies
on his little friends yards. He
went with his idea to his COM
handing officers, and soon all the
men were chipping in their con-
tributionS; Their families also
joined in.
THE NEXT STEP was to find
enough red stockings (Which are
quite unknown in SPAIN but
finally he had enough and soon
they were filled with candies
and gifts.
When he started his regular
route of the oil pipeline, he went
around like a 10th century Saint
Nicholas. flying an airplane and
dropping gifts to his little
friends. He became for hundreds
of children a messenger of good
will who proceeds the coming of
the three Magi.
THE CHILDREN of Barcelona
have also benefited by the pre-
sence of United States service
men. For the fourth time in a
row American sailors stationed
in Barcelona came to help Faith
err Armengol and his Boys Town
School, Stella Maris.
THE FIRST TIME the sailors
met Father Armengol they re
allied the pressure, the many
struggles he was going through
to keep his school for poor chill
dren running. The first thing
they have done each year was
to present their Christmas party
at Stella Maris School and some
200 sailors would join in the
preparations.
THE FUND RAISING has
steadily increased contributions
and last year the sailors could
boast of a gift of $4,000. The
party, of course, had traditional
ice cream, cake, and candies but
there were also movies.
EACH YEAR AT THIS time
all the children receive new out
fits from top to bottom and are
given al their school books and
toys by the Saint Nicholas of the
Navy. So far most of the help has
come from the United States de-
stroyer Aucilla. Most of the crew
are trying to build a better
school for Armengol's children
