pion, will join Deane Beman as
District representatives at the
National Open championship
this year. And it lis possibly
the strongest representation
the city could muster.
This is the second year of the
double qualifying to determine
the final field of $50 for the
Open championship June 1918
at Cherry Hills in Denver.
Doser and Eisinger won
places at Prince Georges yes
terday, the second test they
passed. Beman is an automatic
qualifler as the 1859 British
Amateur champion. Because
the latter tournament usually
is so close to the Open, the pre-
ceding years British champion
always gets the bid.
Emery Passes Up Trials
Doser has been playing the
best golf of the Metropolitan
Washington area pros this
year. with Glare Emery of
Washington Golf and Country
Club a close second. But En-
cry passed up the Open trials.
EiSinger spent several weeks
in Florida in the late winter,
and was medalist in the first
qualifying at Woodmont two
weeks ago.
1t will be the first Open for
Eisinger and the fifth for Be-
man, who hopes to qualify tor
the final 36 holes for the first
time. For Doser. now a PGA

O
Fair Play

Last week we used this column to point out the
unfair charges made against the Catholic Church by
individuals who are guilty of the very thing they pre-
tend to condemn.
We spoke out as we did, because Catholics have
the right and responsibility to defend the Church when
it is unjustly attacked.
MANY OF U FELLOW citizens know what
is to be the objects of bigotry. Our Jewish n%eighbors
have felt the lash OF intolerance for centuries and have
not escaped that scourge even here in America.
n NEGRO CITIZENS among US can attest to
the tragedy of discrimination in many ways, public as
well as hidden. Great progress has been made here,
but the situation is nowhere near what 1t should be.
Other minority groups, who have contributed to
our American tradition, have at one time or another
suffered from the prejudicial judgement that to be diff
ferent is to be wrong.
We should like to state at this time however, that
our remarks are not intended as an accusation against
our Protestant friends. This is not a Cathoic-Protes-
tant conflict.
Bigots are a race apart and although some Prot
estant ministers have been guilty of f0menting preJu-
dice in the current situation, we do not for one moment
consider them representative of the majority of our
Protestant citizens nor of the sentiments of the Prot
estant churches in the United States.
OUR EXPERIENCE, in this area particularly, has
for the most part been one of peace and harmony
among all citizens without regard to race, color or
creed.
That is why we deplore the anti-Catholic attacks
made recently. Such efforts cannot help but disturb
the spirit Of cooperation that marks our communities.
We do not consider this a major disturbance yet, but
to prevent it growing into a serious conflict we are
speaking out.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE have always been
noted for their sense of fair play. We are confident
that the tradition of justice for all will move almost
all of our citizens of every color, nationality, and re-
ligion to rise up and denounce these individuals who
destroy the harmonious relations we enjoy and try to
turn one American against another.
Asst WEEK U editorial said that the present
attempts at disunity and disharmony did not come
from any Catholic source. We need hardly say how
ever, that all citizens in the Diocese of Columbus will
be pleased to work with people of good will of every
religious denomination and those who belong to none
to promote the freedom, justice, and fairness for all
which is the inalienable right of those who live iii the

During the next few days, the United Community
Campaigns will be conducted In many of the communi-
ties of the Diocese TO raise funds for the support of
many of the private agencies of mercy and charity of
these communities.
WHETHER THE GOALS OF the campaigns are a
few thousand dollars in a small community, or a whop-
ping So, 555, 900 in greater Columbus, these goals have
been scaled down by the campaign committees from
the amounts which the Agency Boards think are es-
sential to continue their important works.
Usually, campaign committees want to encourage
the workers and givers in a campaign by giving them
a goal that does not discourage them.
SINCE THE GOALS reflect amounts that are less
than the amounts which are really needed by the peo-
peratlve that all of us support the campaigns whole
heartedly by our work and by our generous donations.
1t is imperative that the goals of the campaign should
be overSubScribed.
AS FOLLOWERS or CHRIST. we realize cur duty
to love our n~eighbors as ourselves, Whether Catholic
agencies receive support from the campaigns, as they
do in some of the communities, or whether Catholic
people receive help from community agencies as they
do in most of the communities, or whether there is no
idea of the religion of the people who are aided, makes
no difference.
IF WE ARE TRULY unselfish and Christlike, we
realize that the people who are helped are children
Of God, created in His image and likeneSs-people
who are distressed by the problems of modern living,
children whose parents cannot care for them-elderly
people who have been weakened by the passage of the
years,-sick people to be nursed at home or cared for
in institutions or hospitals.
HEY ARE REAL PEOPLE whom we would help
personally If we met them on the street or lived next
door to them in our neighborhoodS. They are truly our
%neighbors even though we may not know them per-
sonally.
We urge all to be generous, in prayer, in work,
in donations of money, so that the United Community
Campaigns will be successful.

that he is adopted, perhaps
when he is school age. If his

society or was considered abb
normal. In ancient Sparta, for
instance, there was an annual
ceremony in which the elig-
ible bachelors were publicly
punished by the single women.
Celibacy was actually deSpised
by Roman culture. The Rom
ans promoted vestal virgins
but this ''virginity" was tenn
porary and questionable.
PASTORAL and agricultur-
al societies did not promote
celibacy because they depend
ed upon children to replen-
ish their manpower. Large
families were indispensable
for the very existence of a
community and were hailed as
patriotic and a good economic
investment. A type of ances-
tor worship was involved for
the family and its name had
to be continued. In many ways
this situation is changing.
Commonly speaking, a cell
bate is a man or woman who
whether by choice or not, es-
tablishes a way of life other
than that of marriage. 1t is
not imposed by nature but
may result from social condi-
tons or be a deliberate
choice. For the Christian Gel
ibacy becomes a vocation
linked with Gods will.
THERE ARE TWO KINDS

kinds of celibates: one is

Marriage and having children
must then fit into ones own

Social conditions often en-
ter into the picture. We note
for instance, that in some Sec
lions of Europe an epidemic"
of celibates exists. This may
mean that a race is dying out
or it may mean the absolute
refusal to have children.

One hears periodically
the complaint that both
the candidates for presi-
dent are politicians. It is
somehow taken to be UNI
fortunate that we do not have
a chance to choose between
an amateur and a profession
al, or even better, between
two amateurs as we select our
chief executive.
IMPLICIT in such a COM
plant is the notion that poll
tics is a corrupt profession,
and that professional politi-
clans are much more likely to
be dishonest than amateur
ones. An oft heard American
dictum sums up this theory
perfectly, "The trouble with
politics is that you have to
compromise"
This is a strange and novel
notion in the western tradi-
ton which has until recently
considered politics an honor
able calling and the ability to
compromise a virtue. Indeed

Should non Catholic

tend Catholic schools?
That is a question that
presents a problem that
is rather uncommon in the
United States yet it is a burn
ing question in a few sections
of our country.
SUPPOSE MOST OF US
feel that the presence of nom
Catholic children in our
schools is a great tribute to
our system of education. We
swell with pride when a
Protestant parent tells us that
he is sending his little girl
to ''the Sisters" because he
feels they teach the child
discipline and the three Rs.
Yet there are some Cath
: Ollie authorities who MAIN
tain that it is not fair to non
Catholic children to send
them to our schools. The ar
gument usually advanced is
that listening to Catholic
teaching, especially in moral
matters, is psychologically
harmful to the child of nom
Catholic parents. The idea
is that such teaching is usual
ly in striking contrast to the
child's way of life at home
and it starts UP inner con-
flicts and tensions within the
child.
TAKE FOR INSTANCE
the matter of divorce. The
Catholic teacher vii explain

in no uncertain terms the
sinfulness of divorce. Then
the non-C Catholic child will 60
home to his parents, one or
both of whom may be divorc-
ed. If the child respects his
teacher, he will begin to feel
uneasy about his parent
or parents.
His natural affection for
them will find itself in con-
flict, with his admiration for
his Catholic teacher. He has
been told that divorced per-
sons are living in sin and his
youthful mind does not recog-
nize the difference between
subjective" and collective"
sin. The inevitable result will
be a dangerous mental and
emotional disturbance WITHIN
the heart and mind of the
child.
ONE WAY TO HANDLE
this question is to say the
same problem often presents
itself to a Catholic child and
yet you would not therefore
deprive a Catholic child of a
Catholic education. That Is,
the parents may be involved in
a bad marriage, even though
they are Catholics. Or they may
be validly married but living
a dissolute life utterly at var
lance with what the child is
being taught in the Catholic
school.

Catholic woman, Pat Groom,

A. In spite of some anti
moral or immoral prejudice
on the part of some medical
practitioners and psychiatrists
it is possible and desirable
that physical medicine and

recognized that some people

fessors have always recon-
mended that certain types OF
penitents consult a physician.
That is a long way from adj
uniting that these natural
means can take the place of
the supernatural forgiveness
of God for sin. Where physical
or mental illness is present
the cooperation of priest and
physician is called for, but
in every case the Sacrament
of Penance is unique and in
dispensabIe for spiritual guild
snee and for the divinely-giv-
en- solace of Gods mercy ex-
tended through His appointed
minister Matthew 16:15-18;

This and the other deci-
sions Mr.. Bailey lists in his
fascinating report are typical
of the dilemmaS which face
politicians every day. To at
tempt to resolve such diff
culties to the best of ones
abilities is not corrupt or dis
honest. Rather it is a brave
man who has enough courage
and enough trust in his pru-
dence to venture into such

be destroyed and evils which
must be tolerated for a time
lest more harm than good be
done by their immediate Grad

The moral principle of the

which one judges the morali-
ty of an action which has both
good and evil effects, must be
used constantly by any poll.
