ANOTHER AREA THAT

wolves a closer relationship
with relatives and friends.
One does not have to be
physically near relatives to
maintain affection. Emotion.
al closeness often suffices.
This closeness must be care
fully planned.
Some families may do their
shopping together, share lei
sure time together, or ex-
change baby sitting facilities,
books, etc. Some families, on
the other hand, are too close
to each other. Then a "loos-
ening" of ties becomes neces-
sary.
u LIKEWISE, PAR ENT
should develop common views
on child rearing practices.
Parents need to attend group
activities such as lectures, to
stimulate their thinking. They
wisely conduct discussions at
the dinner table or elsewhere
on areas concerning child
rearing. Each parent should
carefully balance the other in
trying to find a midway be-
tween ''too much spelling"
and "too much discipline"

The Fatima
Letter?

Editor:
OF recent date we have
received letters in con-
nection with Fatima.
They all seem to follow
the same line:
THE Fatima letter is sup
posed TO be opened in 1860.
SO far it hasn't been. When
is it. going to be opened?
Where? Why is the Church
keeping us in suspense? If
the end of the world is COM
ing, why not let us know
now. It's a disgrace to keep
us all waiting SO long"
FRANKLY, WE'RE NOT
surprised at this attitude.

Finds Dialogue
Meaningless

Editor:
I'm another one who
finds the dialogue Mass
disturbing. A convert,
who neither reads nor I'M
derstandS Latin. II is diff
ficult TO maintain a spirit
of piety, and devotion, with
the congregation re citing
aloud meaningless Ito mel
words.
Also the omission of the
beautiful prayers formerly re-
CITED at the end OF Mass,
seems a great loss.
Whenever possible | try TO
attend a High Mass in order
to avoid the dialogue.
Thank you for the oppor-
tunity of expressing my feel
ings.

Editor:


All the banter and editor
ializing about the religious is
sue i'm the Puerto Rican and
American elections amused
me exceedingly. Memory
takes me back to 1858.
The claque and clan of
sanctimonious liberal pro-
gressives who have been do
ing all the screaming, Foul"
in agonizing pain these past
few weeks are the same I'M
prineipled hypocrites who
passed out leaflets at the
church doors two years ago
promulgating the view of the
five Ohio bishops against the
Right-To-Work issue on the
ballot.
These opportunists will
use the Church and her
clergy whenever such deceit
advances their own special
interests. Well, Shakespeare
pointed out that the devil
could even "cite Scripture
for his purpose"

MANILA, Feb. II = Develop
ments here this week have DEM
onstrated that the Philippines is
not willing to accept the Eisen-
hover administrations formula
for settling Philippine war damage
claims against the United States.
The recent u. S. proposal was
to pay $73,000,0o00 in final settle
ment of remaining claims by in
dividuals in the Philippines. The
money would be handed over to
the Philippine government in a
lump sum, after dedueting S24,-
100000 owed by the Philippines
under the Romulo Snyder agree
ment.
The u. S. formula would limit
the payment to large claimants to
rs per cent of the amount recon-
mended by a u. S. board which
sifted the claims some years ago.
Secretary of Foreign Affairs
Felixberto Serrano this week de-
manded that the u. S. settle the
claims in full, which would boost
the total bill from $73000,000 to
1854 100000 He said full payment
had been promised by top u. S.
officials, including Pres Roose-
welt during World War II.
Last Wednesday the Foreign
Relations Committee of the House
and Senate approved a joint reso-
luton backing the Foreign Seere-
tary and demanding full payment.
The two committees also asked
that the U. S. Congress set aside
a certain percentage for opera
tional expenses in distributing the
money to individual claimants.

WOOIsey w. Hall, Federation

But after listening to testimony,
he said he would never ask that
