v The law recognized that economic
insecurity due to unemployment is serious
menace to the health, morale and welfare
of the people.
v 1t recognized unemployment as a
subject of general interest and concern re-

the burden which falls with crushing force
upon the unemployed, and his family.

aside unemployment reserves to be used
for the benefit of persons unemployed

interview in The Catholic

Your policy of noninterven-
ton in the tyranny of Latin
American relationships made
a great and unfortunate inn
pact on Latin American
thought. You made much pro-
paganda about the Russians
taking away freedom in Eas-
tern Europe but you made no
outcry against the loss of
freedom under Latin Ameri-
can dictators. Even under
Dulles you gave them praise
and decorations"
The time is ripe for us to
come out with a blistering
condemnation of all dictators
in Latin America, red or
black. | don't mean that we
should send in the Marines to

more valued. A boy may even
hate his father and love his
mother but still his fathers
opinions affect him more
deeply - he still constantly
thinks and talks about him.
What can be done to cor
rect the situation where a
boys father fails to give him
Self-confidence?
FIRST, THE MOTHER must
use her enormous power and
refuse to be both mother and
father to the boy. At every
opportunity she must adroit-
ly refer him to his father for
answers to questions, for fa-
vors, for discussions which
the father should take care
of.
SECONDLY, THE FATHER
should work close to the boy,
not in artificial circumstances,
but when something really
matters to his son. It is only
under such circumstances that
he really gets to know him.
1t is not a matter of going
fishing together: fishing
hooks, beer cans, or guests
get in the way. 1t is not a
matter of taking him to a
baseball game: fun and eating
are a little too much competi-
ton for the occasion.
The father should mainly be
close enough to his son to
share all of his troubles
economic, emotional. spiritual.
This real trouble may occur
when the boy is broke and
has a date. or when he wrecks
the car. or fails in school.

D.D.F. Continues

The 1861 Diocesan Development Fund Drive is
history.
This year we exceeded last years achievements
with well over $500, 10000 pledged.
THE REASON FOR the improvement lies not only
in more experience but better teamwork.
1t is a tribute to the priests, parish chairmen,
team captains and workers that last years record was
bettered.
IT'S A TRIBUTE to the awareness of the people
OF the Diocese Of Columbus that theirs is an active
role in cooperating with the Bishop in the extension of
ChriSts kingdom in this area.
But we have labeled this editorial; "DDF Con-
tinues." And this is true, not only because some of
the pledges are unpaid as yet, but because our annual
sacrifice for the works of the Diocese is not something
to be thought about only in May. Since it represents
a years support it is to be considered frequently
throughout the year and to be provided for by long
term planning and savings.
THIS MUST BE BECAUSE the needs of the
Church are great The responsibilities of the Bishop
are many. And those needs and responsibilities are
on a year-round basis. Our cooperation in this matter
should not be any ess-GAF

Father James ]. McQuade S J. wrote sometime
ago in Today "Tf1e layman is the bridge between the
Church and the world"
ON ONE SIDE he is rooted in the Mystical Body
of Christ and is united with the whole Church.
On the other side, he reaches out into the world
of affairs: the world of politics, the world of econo-
mics, the world of religious thought, the world of So
cial living, and the world of intellectual and scien-
tifc interchange. His activities are not only deeply
religious but are also closely intertWined and identi-
fled with the interests of the secular world in which
he lives.
1T IS BECAUSE of this that the lay apostle must
be a man or woman acceptable in both spheres, He
must be a child of the Church and he must be a
man who is SO competent in his particular field that
eother men will listen to and follow him in the way
he goes =. :"
These words come to mind in rejecting on the
achievements Of the parishioners of st. Michaels In
supplementing the science program of their parish
school as outlined in last weeks Times.
IT IS A NOTEWORTHY achievement and a har-
binger of all kinds of future possibilities.
Possibilities not only of expansion of the science
program at st. Michael school but the extension of
similar programs to other parochial and public schools.
BUT SUCH PROJECTS need not be limited to
science. There are many pensioners who are skilled
in many fields who could contribute to a program of
study in their own parish or if a system could be set
up to share talents throughout the community.
TO APPLY THIS DITORiAL'S original premise
we could say that employment of the layrnan's skill
and experience not only would benefit our children
but would benefit the adults and the Church as well,
for the laymans role does not consist primarily In
teaching religion but in leading a full life with COM
