Columbus has received the doubt
full distinction of becoming a base OF OPP
erations for the Protestants and Other
Americans United for the Separation of
Church and State. This additionally
anti-Catholic group has named Col.
Paul r. Hunt, USA, Ret, as its repre-
sentative here, according to reports re-
ceiVed,
a meeting of the group was held
last Thursday, October IS, at the Indian
ola Methodist Church with Or. Lee c.
Morehesd, pastor, presumably acting as
. host.
The purpose of the meeting IN ques-
ton was to exhibit a movie titled
Captured which was produced by the
POAU. The film purports to show how
public schools, lie. by getting nuns to
teach in public schools.
The meeting also featured talk by
Paul Walker, State School Board repre-
sentative, TO explain his recent state
ment exonersting the uns in the Kali
da, Ohio, school situation. Mr.. Walker
has been severely criticized by POAu
for that statement.
According to eyewitness accounts,
approximately so persons attended this
meeting They received P0AU pamph-
let, saw the movie, heard the talks,
only one question was allowed to be
asked on the film by a member of the
audience. The formal meeting was then
closed and other questions had to be
asked on a private basis.
The point we should like TO make is
This: nuns have been teaching in some
Ohio public schools up TO 100 years.
There has been no problem in the past.
Why is there a challenge now?
The answer would seem TO be that
there has been a deliberate attempt at
creating disunity and disharmony where
relations have always been pleasant.

X LIFE A SUCCESS

Practically every person, whether man or women, boy or
girl, regardless of age and circumstances, hopes and intends
to make life a success.
Stated in general terms, this ambition is common to all
of us. 1t is only when we attempt to define the meaning of
success" that differences of opinion develop. Consequently
it might be a good idea for the individual to stop long enough
to ponder the question and answer it.
The individual, in his or her zeal to be successful, often
accepts a popular definition of the term, and thereby loses
sight of the real goal Ones success is not to be measured by
the wealth accumulated, the worldly honors received, or the
tickle reclamation of socalled public opinion.
So, today, when there are SO many ideas of success, we
suggest that the individual reader analyze his or her concep-
ton 1t should be obvious, we think, that one can be success
full only, when life is in harmony with God and with our inner
convictions. This might sound easy, but test it for yourself.
