Wants Check
On Films

Editor:
Is there any way the Cath
Ole Times can instigate some
kind of legislative action to
prohibit showing such films
as mo Greater Sin" and
1.-THE Miracle of Birth"
These two films are current
ly showing at two DRIVEN
theaterS.
1t is certainly urgent that
some kind of action be taken
TO ban such films. In Cleve-
land a theatre manager was
fined for bringing such filth
TO local theatres.

Some of Us
Cheat God
EDTTOR:

EDIIOh.
We hate to be cheated
Ii we pay someone for do
7 ing a job, we want it to
be done right with no
flaws.
Because God has given us
free will it is possible for us
to cheat Him.
Our money, which is q gift
from God, because we have
used our minds and our
bodies to earn our salaries is
placed above the love of its
Giver.
The radio, TVS and films
are all given to us by God,
but do we ever compliment
those who give us wholesome
entertainment rather than just
condemn Tor worst do moth
ing) about those programs
and films which are not fit
for ourselves, much less our
children?
Some married couples see
nothing wrong with avoiding
the few hardships of child
bearing and rearing by abus-
ing the privileges associated
with having children.
Most of us at some time or
another place our selves
ahead of God. We seem to
consider Him less than our
equal. VIZ use his rewards
without earning them, by
obeying His laws.
God is kind and the re-
wards of life are here for us
to enjoy, but first, whether
we are Catholics or not, we
must earn our rewards and
never cheat God.

a huge nuclear fusion reactor
