When Ellen applied in 1857.
the colleges were Just begin
ming to feel the preSsures.
But last fall, when Jill en-
tered college, the pressures
for admission had really
mounted. We anticipate that
four years from now when
Carla is ready, the heat will
really be on. And what about
Janet, eight years from now2
In the spring Of 1859 we
became concerned about Jill.
We knew that the colleges
were filling up fast, and that
the early bird would get the
first pick Of available places.
So we devised a timetable,
starting with the opening Of
school in the fall of 1859.
September: Send for cur
rent catalogues and other
literature of the five selected
colleges. Tuition rates and a
number of other things are
likely to change from year to
year.
October: If you have any
questions not answered by
the catalogues write to the
admissions directors for as
sistance.
November: Check with
guidance elor on
grades, dry-run-Score and
other tests. See that all rec
ords are complete. First
week in November, send for
application forms from the
five colleges selected. Fill out
forms. Be particularly care
full in preparing autobiog-
raphy. Choose names for
references with great care.
Before filing applications.
check with guidance coun-
selor and parents.
December: File applica-
ton for College Entrance
Examination Board tests.
Notify school you want to
take the Scholastic Aptitude
Test exam in January and
achievement tests in March.
January: Busy month.
Take SAT in middle of
month. Check with hig h
school guidance counselor to
see If records have gone out
to colleges designated. Re-
quests for more information
may come in from colleges
applied to in November.
February: Arrange for
personal interview at college
chosen, if requested. Read
catalogues thoroughly so
that you don't waste time
or create poor impression by
asking questions you should
have found answered in the
colleges literature.
March: Take three CEEB
achievement tests. In March
you may hear from one of
the colleges, giving provi-
sional acceptance. Decide
whether this is the college
you want. Notify guidance
counselor of action.
April: Other provisional &C
ceptances may arrive. Or
you may get rejection slips.
You will not hear from
CEEB schools until mid-May.
Find out when colleges
notify candidates of accept
ance or rejection. Check
with guidance counselor to
see if all records have been
completed. See that CEEB
scores go to the colleges that
require them.
May: Final month. De-
cisions of CEEB colleges will
arrive. Cutoff date may be
May 81. Check with guidance

According to the author,
Mrs. Louise Walsh, the book
identifies all of the objects
and articles in the sanctuary
and the s~acristy; the vest
ments; tells how to care for
the sanctuary and ~sacristy
and how to prepare for Mass
and other services, and final
ly how to organize an altar
society. The Ian guage is
simple and non-technical and
can be followed by the I'M

They do not say that pub
lie review can eliminate gang
sterism and corruption from
the labor movement. Mr..
Oberer explicitly points out
that only police work and
preventive legisl can
deal effectively with this
problem. Neither do they con-
tend that public review will
automatically result in union
democracy. They do say, how
ever, that it represents a
significant step in the right
direction.
PUBLIC REVIEW" says
Mr. Harrington, lis not a
substitute for democracy but
an important procedural
guarantee which aids every
democratic tendency within
a union. It is not a miracu-
lous solution for all of the
problems of bureaucracy in
the labor movement, but it
is a major step forward.
If review were to spread to
other unions, it would not
create a dynamic labor de-
mocracy out of thin air, but
it would be an institutional
reform or real significance
for the ideal Of the free So
ciety."
1t is hoped, then, that all
of the major unions in the
United States will establish
public review boards on their
own initiative. If they fail
to do so, they will have no
one but themselves to blame
if the Congress eventually
saddles them with additional
legislation.

Our great '.t, sister lands

Pope John has created a
pontifical comm i for
Latin America to assist the
region in the vast strides for
ward which it must take.
The American and Cana
dian bishops, in consultation
with those of Latin America,
are extending strong and
helpful hands.
BEFORE LONG, the first
contingents of Pope's Volun-
teers - laymen and laywom-
en-will be going from North
America to offer their skills
and energies to Latin Amer
lean lay movements.
The augmentation of the
Church in Latin America,
caused by difficulties of COM
munication and transp 0 a.
ton in the past, is being
overcome. Lay people have
assembled in p~an-American
Catholic Ac I'll congresses,
and have drawn up a pro-
gram.
American and Can a d n
Catholics will contribute funds
to create seminaries in which
Latin American young men
will study for the priesthood
and learn the principles of
social justice which the
region desperately needs.
The Confederation Of Latin
American Christian Trade
Unionists has pledged itself
to work hard for land reform
and for free associations in
which farmers will obtain
the rights to which they are
entitled.
cASTRoISM is a present
menace; but it can be over
come. Latin Americans must
be shown that the way out of
present difficulties is not the
anthill state, which reduces
everybody to a n
misery and enslavement.
Conditions are bad; but Is
years ago they were worse in
many European regions. In
that space of time, thanks to
American generosity and the
application of the Church's
social teachings, Europe has
surged into prosperity.
If those teachings are obey
ed, all the world can make
dizzying progress into a new
order of things in which the
dignities and rights Of human
beings will be respected and
promoted.
Mankind must be seen as
one family in which every
one is responsible for the
good of all the other men,
bers, and all are responsible
for each one. Latin America,
with its profound Catholicity,
can take leadership in this
vast change if it is given the
help it needs.

of the current cost of living.
A study should be made
concerning the feasibility of

widows are eligible to re-

tense at their solution. 1t
simply brings them into focus
for our attention. Indeed,
there are postures and posi-
tons which will evoke vary
ing degrees of assent and dis
sent. That is, apparently, its
purpose and therein lies its
value. For if the present gen.
Grafton of Catholic leaders
can manage to avoid or post
pone hard decisions on many
of these matters the next
generation, most assuredly,
will have to meet them.
FOR THAT REASON, if for
no other, this is a book that
ought to be in the hands of
the coming generation. These
are people and ideas with
whom and with which they
ought to be having an over
growing familiarity. 1t would
make an ideal gift for any
young Catholic, be he or she
senior in high school, col
legian, seminarian, or relig-
ious.
THERE ARE SOME NJ
faults in the editing, with the
lack of precise dating being
the most unfortunate slip.
While Mr.. Mcdonald asserts
that all the interviews are
current, in the sense of the
last two years, it is a little
difficult, for example,, when
Senator Mccarthy refers to
the "last session of Con-
gress," to know precisely
which session he is referring
to.
All In all, however, the
editor and publishers are to
be sincerely congratulated for
making this record available
and this reviewer hopes they
are rewarded with whopping
sales.

THE TRUTH OF the mat
ter is that something went
awry between the time the
revolution began and the pre-
sent day when Castro is tied
up hand and foot to his Soviet
overlords. Not only American
newspapermen in Cuba but
also the majority of Catholic
churchmen on the island were
surprised by the e n
change.
1t would be helpful to
know what was responsible
for the change. But that is
hard to puzzle out since
Castro is such an irrational
and volatile person. But the
important fact for us is to
realize that there are bud
ding revolutions all through
Latin America today and they
are not yet under the direc-
ton of the communists.
SOME OF THEM bear more
evidence Of violent anti
Americanism than did the
Castro rebellion in the be-
ginning. | might say they
seem to be more Marxist than
Castro's movement in 1858.
But the fact is that they can
be saved from falling into
Soviet clutches if we Amer
leans have a proper apprecia-
ton of the real grievances of
the poor and hungry peoples
of Latin America.
TT is IMPORTANT that the
United States send these peo-
Piles food and money. Yet that
is not enough. 1t must be
done with sympathetic under
standing, imagin and
sensitive awareness of the
psychology of the Latin
American.
THE SOViETS ARE BUSY
as beavers in the vast con-
tinent to the South of us.
They are trying to work
their way into the revolutions
that are getting under way in
South America as they did
successfully inffltrate the
Castro uprising. It's not too
late to cooperate with these
revolutions so that they will
not be diverted from their
true course.

sire for a scholarly career

The promise, indeed, grows
out of the peril.
Danger is the goad that was
needed to move people to
action.
COMMUNISTS ARE DOING
all the mischief they can,
but Catholics are coming Wig
orously to life.
The western world, now
prospecting, must move to
help Latin America.
The people there are over
w~helmingly Cath 0 S; but
they have not been conspicu-
Gus, generally, for religious
practice or religious literacy.
They have suffered for
many years from a serious
shortage Of priests; and with
out priests, religion Ian
cuisines.
The faith, however, is deep
and strong. It is brave and
sacrificial. 1t runs all through
the fabric of life. 1t needs
only awakening, inspiration
and direction.
If Catholic Action is sue
cessful, Latin America can
become the greatest Christian
civiliz a ever seen on
earth.
OUT OF THESE neighbor
nations of ours there can
arise apostolic activities that
will astonish the world.
Conversely, Latin America
could be turned into a hell
of goddess materialism, threat
ening, freedom and human
rights everywhere = and not
least in North America.
Anything that anybody can
do to contribute to the right
future for Latin America
will prove, in the long run,
to be a great service to all
mankind.

important NOV e m e are
