Sweaters are The heart of all
winter wardrobes, so they
should be selected with utmost
care and consideration.
AS the price of sweaters is
climbing, your knowledge OF
what constitutes a good sweat
er buy must also be increased.
Miss Janet Reed, extension
clothing specialist, University
of Delaware, offers the follow
ing information to be consid-
cred when making a sweater
purchase.
Cut and Sewn VS.. Full Fashion
Sweaters that have been cut
and sewn to shape will wear
as we'll as full fashioned sweat
ers that have been knit to
shape.
The big difference between
the two types of sweaters is
cost. Full fashioned sweaters
are generally more expensive.
They will last no longer than
cut and sewn sweaters but they
usually fit better and hold their
shape longer.
Full fashioned sweaters are

Buttonholes should be deep
with firm, secure stitching. Be
sure buttonholes and buttons
meet properly and that all
trimmings, including buttons,
are washable and colorfast.
Fiber Content
Wool sweaters are warm, dur
able, and resilient. Wool fibers
are often combined with nylon
or orion giving these fibers ex-
ira strength and durability.
They may also be combined
with angora or fur fibers to
add softness. Wool sweaters
may be washed and usually
hold their shape we'll.
Cashmere sweaters are made
from the fleece of the cashmere
goat. Because these fibers must
be imported, cashmere sweaters
are usually expensive.
Although cashmere is a soft,
fragile fiber, with proper care
it will give good service.
Man-made fibers such as N.Y.
Ion, Orion, and Dacron give
sweaters many advantages. They
are easily Numbered, quick dry
ing, need little or no blocking,
resist moths, and usually will
not shrink. They also hold their
shape well and are extremely
durable.
Care-read the label careful
ly and follow the instructions.
A good label will give you
important information on how
to care for the sweater as well
as the fiber content, any spec
ial finishes it might have and
it's wearing quality.

identified by fashion markings
at the armhole. These marks
result from changing the stitch
es from needle to needle in
shaping the armhole.
Cut and sewn sweaters may
usually be identified by the alb
sence of fashion markings, al
though imitation fashion mark
ings may be found on some of
these sweaters. These markings
are merely hand sewn stitches
initiating true fashion markings.
Construction
The sweater ribbing should
be firm, yet elastic, and the
stitches of the ribbing should
be smaller than those found in
the body of the sweater. Neck
ribbing that has been knitted
to the body of the sweater will
usually prove more satisfactory
than ribbing that has been sewn
on.
Sweater seams should be
straight, flat and smooth. Cuff
seams are particularly import
ant if you intend to turn the
cuffs up. Be sure they are not
bulky or unsightly.

claims and the Orthodox have
been replying in kind - but
there has been no meeting of
minds because there has been
no meeting of hearts in char
ity.
AS the Patriarch expressed
it, we have been telling the
Orthodox: "You are wrong.
Give up your errors and join
US" But he pointed out that
this approach is futile and
only serves to widen the gap
between us and our Orthodox
brethren. For they feel that
they are right and that it is
their antagonists who have al
tered the Christian teaching.
They stand in their own good
faith as representing the
primitive Christian Church.

this attitude of the Orthodox

Move The U.N.?

One of Mr.. KhrusheheV's many proposals last week
was that the headquarters Of the United Nations should
be taken out of New York and set up somewhere else. He
may - or may not! 49, have got the idea from The Tablet.
a conservative Catholic newspaper published in Brooklyn,
N. Y. 1t had just about then revived an old suggestion that
"a more distant location, like Geneva, would be preferable"
Geneva could be acceptable r. once more. Centuries Of
Swiss experience and skill in preserving neutral attitudes
could be at the service Of all; Swiss hotelkeepers attend strictly
TO their professional function; and there would be no wharf
ing complications.
Besides Geneva, where? The idea Of a small, supra
national area, having no economic or military significance,
open to all the world and its representatives as a center Of
civilized thought, has already been realized in the Vatican
State. Perhaps a World State might similarly be conceived
as the headquarters Of The United Nations. But perhaps the
Italian Government might object to choosing Italy as the host
country, on the grounds that it already has quite enough
trouble.
What about Ireland, then? On the outer edge of Eur.
ope, ii is a convenient world center for air, sea and cable
communications. A small island. security safeguards are
more easily organized there. On the other hand, there might
be depressves who would regard an invasion by the United
Nations with its staffs, its permanent and impermanent dele
cations, as a fulfillment Of one of the Prophecies OF ST
Malachy," that Ireland is to be engulfed some time shortly
before the end OF the world.
1t is all very difficult. Perhaps, if only people were more
rational, the United Nations might do well enough where il is,

EDITORIALS


The city of Columbus gained and lost in the en-
tertalnment field recently.
THE FOX THEATRE which had offered little
but notorious film fare changed its name to the Capt.
tol and its policy by submitting a subscription series
OF higher quality movies to potential customers
To be sure, all the films are not completely unobjec-
tionable but the list is published in advance for the en-
tire month and all are produced by established motion
picture companies.
The pleasure given by this move to all interested
in decent entertainment was dampened considerably by
the announcement that the Parsons theatre was open
ing under new management as a b~urlesque house.
Citizens reacted quickly to this and City Council out
laWed burlesque shows. The management however
changed the name to "Follies' and also stated it would
exhibit adult movies of the nudist variety.
AT THIS WRITING the burlesque entertainment
has not yet begun but the l~ow-grade movie entertain
ment has. 1t might be mentioned also that some other
theatres in this area are showing sensational type films
of pseudo-hygienic subjects which could appeal only
to the immature and prurient.
The change afforded by the Capitol policy is to be
encouraged. We trust the high quality films shown as
part of this plan will be patronized.
THE NEW POLICY of the Parsons theatre is to
be strongly deplored and protested. If there is one
thing we do not need in Columbus entertainment
world it is a place of this type. We have confidence
that the citizens who began the move to eliminate this
blight on a residential neighborhood will continue their
good Work.-GAF

MANY YOUNG CHRISTIAN communities have

communities must show themselves leaders of pro-

rich in promise! The Holy Father has raised up native
bishops from their midst and finally, cardinals both in
Africa, Asia and South America. His confidence i'll
them is proven.
We should express our confidence in these
sections of the Church, and our unity with them, on
Mission Sunday. They have heavier responsibilities of
leadership, teaching, sanctifying their nations.
WHAT WE DO on Mission Sunday reaches them
all, for it is distributed by the Holy See. Therefore the

are highlighted on Mission Sunday will nightly in

For Jacinta has returned

was in 1885 that her body was
taken from the cemetery at
Ourem, and laid in a COM

Guiding those which do not go

columnists.
IN A TIME WHEN the
press has either abandoned
the practice or pub
fishes only those letters
which show its viewpoint in a
favorable light, your publica-
tion is to be commended.
This practice is open testi-
mony that Catholics do not
have to follow every dictate
of the hierarchy and that
there is wide diversity of opin-
ion on temporal matters as
well as some Church practices.
Although ! think it is ever
necessary for Catholic publica-
tions to be more than fair
with both sides of every con-
troversy certainly though
Catholics want more than a
''parish bulletin" when they
subscribe to a newspaper.
Your policy of allowing open
debate on matters which are
not strictly those of faith and
morals is a challenge to all
your readers to do a little
thinking on these matters and
to voice their opinions.

to fix the destiny of any
soul. What God mainly seeks
from this person is interior
docility, complete confidence
in His divine providence and
voluntary surrender TO His

needed to make this decision
to be a celibate.
Celibacy is sometimes ac-
cepted on one day, but on an
other marriage is offered. It
may, of course, be accepted
by a girl as Gods will. She
did, however, have internal
docility. Docility is the issue.
