CAN SEE NO essential
conflict between Cardinal
Tardini's conclusions and
those Of the four American
experts who recently predict
ed cradle the-graye" secur-
lily for all Of the people OF the
United States. The Cardinal
wants 10 see government 60
clal security programs ex~
banded.
So do they.
AT THE SANE TINE, the
Cardinal wants 10 keep the
spirit of private charity alive.
and in addition, wants 10 safe
guard the role OF the Church
and Of other non government
ri organizations in the field
OF social assistance
Presumably the American
experts did not explicitly dis
cuss the latter points at The
recent Washington meeting.
Nevertheless | think il is fair
to assume, on the basis OF
their previous writings, that
they, too. recognize the i'm
porfance OF private charity
and the need for a cooperative
relationship between govern
mental and non governmental
organizations in the field Of
social welfare.
I WOULD SUGGEST, how
ever. that they look for an
early opportunity to clarity
their position in this regard.
In my opinion. what they said
at the Washington meeting
was entirely unohieetionsblc
from The poin, OF view Of
sound social ethics. But they
didn't say enough
THEY MIGHT HAVE added
for the record that while they
want governmental social 80
curity programs 10 cover
more subjects. more cases.
more needs they do not
want the government 10 mono
polize the field of social Sc.
curity.
OR, TO PUT 1T more posi-
lively, they might have EN-
phasized that IN this field as
in every other field Of human
endeayor they want The gov
eminent to encourage private
initiative and to respect the
rights and the prerogatiyes OF
the Church and OF other non.
governmental organizations.

We have become so &C
customed to the idea of
Christmas that perhaps it
no longer leaves the deep
wonderful impression on
us that it should.
If we could imagine oursel-
YES as foreign missioners fac
ed with the delightful oppor-
tunity of telling someone the
first story of Christmas that
the person ever heard we
would get the idea in all its
wonder. Sometime during the
holidays try to imagine what
your life would be if Christ
had not come. Then, perhaps,
you will begin to appreciate
how much He loves you.
TOUGH
Most diets knock the starch
out of you.
PERFECT PRAYER
The most perfect kind of
prayer is said in thanksgiving,
1t is said that if we spend all
our time that we devote to
praying actually thanking God
for life and everything our
life holds, He would find our
prayers much more acceptable
than our ordinary run Of pray
ing II is something to give
thought TO, and then a Bit of
an experiment. You may come
to find this your most salts
flying kind Of PRAYER.

sassinate candidates they don't
like, in America. they are
more diabolical, they try to
drown them in holy water"
GET THE IDEA
In attending Mass each
Sunday and holyday of obliga-
ton we have an ever present
duty 10 perform for our own
good. That is to get to know
more and more about the
Holy Sacrifice. AS long as we
have the use of our mind. we
ought to use II to perfect our
knowledge of the one great
act of worship that is worthy
OF our best thought. Those
who miss Mass feel that they
are not missing anything be-
cause they actually do not
know what they are missing.
YOU NAME 1T
A career is Just a Job that
a person really likes.
Howl TO DO TT
This will give you some
thing to think about if you
are too young to put II TO
work right now. Medical men
say that a person twenty-five
years of age and older should
reduce his food intake one
percent every year. One OF
the reasons given is that with
all the gsdgets one has to
help reduce work a person
does not require as much food
as in days gone by, and. one
begins to taper off in the de
partment of physical exercise
or eXertion. Right al this
time OF year such advice is

The opposition United Party,
of which DR.. Danquah is a

Balloting has been marred by

The United Party would like
to see Ghana become a consti-

Mr.. Nkrumah has hinted that
a favorable vote in the plebi-
scite may be regarded as a

Eisenhower
Asks Attack
On Disease

President Eisenhower today
called for a cooperative in
ternational attack on starva-
ton and disease throughout
the world. He said it should
be made on a basis of human
understanding, without regard
to nationality.
Mr.. Eisenhower made his
plea in a brief talk to some 200
delegates to the 30th National
All Conference. gathered on
the White House lawn Just
outside his office.
The President said all of
humanity has common prob
lens, such as poverty and di-
sease, that cry out for solution.
Unless these problems are
battled intenSively with in
creasing success the kind of
world we want is not going to
be achieved" he added.
The President stressed that
real understanding" is neces-
sary for solution of these and
other world problems. He said
people of different nations
might think differently about
some things. but can cooper
ate "and forget all about ma
tionality" in solving human
problems.
Greater understanding in
this field, he said, would lead
to increased understanding
that could help ease world ten
sions in other areas.
Two of the All delegates
gave the Presidents a part
ner-in-4-H" tie clasp as a SYM
boil of their greater apprecia-
tion Of your outstanding serv-
ice in behalf of youth" The
presentation was made by
Brenda Ann Tjaden, Kechi,
Kans., and Jimmie Mccormick,
Crossville, Tenn.
The conference yesterday
heard a leader of the Mormon
Church call for more apprecia-
ton of the value of the indi-
vidual.
Marion Hanks, Of the Coun-
Gil of Seventy of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, told the 300 top young
farmers and State leaders
gathered at Departmental Au-
ditorium:
"One Of the problems with
young people-simply for lack
of proper understanding-is
they do not understand. do not
appreciate, how much one man
