CHINCoTEAGUE, Va
Everything that has been
written, or filmed, about the
wild pony roundup down
here is true, but there are
no words that can describe
the patient, polite waiting Of
the fifty thousand people
who jammed this little island
during the annual festival Of
ponies.
The actual swimming of
the wild ponies from ASA
league, where the mares,
stations and their progeny
were rounded up by natives,
was scheduled for Tuesday
morning around 10 o'clock.
Tourists, from all over
America, drove as close as
they could get near the
beach line, parked, and then
walked the rest of the way.
Some dedicated people were
on the shore line as early
as eight o'clock, avoiding the
four-mile traffic tieup that
snarled cars and temperS
later in the morning.
Once the beach-head was
gained, the fun began.
Children got lost, parents got
lost, car keys were lost, and
parts of cameras were lost

off. The soft drink stands
ran out of soft drinks but
nobody seemed to mind.

cited children and their
frantic parents.
The ponies, except for a
few stations, were quite
amiable as soon as they had
found their families. Human
families were a little more
vocal as they called their
children to heel. Some Of
them had dashed into. the
water to get up the beach
to see the landing, others
had splattered across the
marsh grass to see the
ponies.
After another long wait
for the mounted patrol, who
came over on a barge after
the round up on Assateague,
the ponies were driven down
the Main Street of Chinco-
league, led by the Mayor in
an open press car. They were
penned on the Carnival
grounds, waiting over night
for the auctioneer's hammer
on Thursday.

only at night, burst into full

How to Lose Friends
During the Summer Months
By CAROLYN HAeNER SHAW

During the summer months
my family and I get a great
deal Of pleasure spending
week ends at our beach
cottage near my home town.
Unfortunately, being the
possessor of a "home at the
beach" is sometimes not as
pleasant as it sounds.
Last Saturday morning we
we're enjoying ourselves
thoroughly. The peace and
quiet of no telephones and
no visitors had us all in a
comfortably relaxed state.
Suddenly a raucous automo-
bile horn announced the ar
rival OF someone in front Of
the cottage. With a sinking
heart I went to investigate.
It was the Inexperienced's,
accompanied by two Of their
children. They all greeted me
with shouts, and Mrs. In
experienced rushed over say
ing, my dear! We just hap
pened to drive down this
way to get away from the
terrific heat. Remembering
that your cottage was, in the
vicinity, we just couldn't go
by without saying 'hello'!"
Needless to say, the In
experienced's took their de-
parture in the wee hours Of
Sunday morning, trailed by
two worn-out, whining chill
dren. They left behind them
a group of exasperated, and
Just as worn-out, people.

the coming council, he said,
will be held in the great nave
of St. Peters basiIica. This
will be a switch from the first
Vatican Council, some 80 years
ago, when the plenary SEES
sions were held in the tran
sept Of the great church.
Archbishop Felici said it will
be necessary to use the nave
because at least 1000 and
possibly as many as 5000
cardinals, bishops and priests
will take part in the coming
council.

Church, he added.
Archbishop Felici revealed
that two of the bishops attend
ing the meetings had their
travel expenses met by Vati-
can funds since they were
from mission countries and
could not foot the travel costs
themselves. He said that in a
similar way, there will be
funds available to bring TO
Rome for the council itself

who cannot meet their ex-
penses.
The Archbishop took time
to pay tribute to the Italian

VATICAN CITY-The
worlds neWsmen will get
help from the Vatican in
covering the coming Sec
ond Vatican Council.
This was assured by Arch
bishop Pericle Felici, secre-
tary general of the Central
Preparatory Commission for
the council, at a news con-
ference attended by more than
so Italian and foreign journa-
lists.
Archbishop Felici said that
his office already has two
ecclesiastical assistants who
are assigned to answer ques-
tons and furnish informa-
ton TO working journalists.
He emphasized however that
since the council is in the
preparatory stage there is
not a great deal Of immediate
news available.
THE ARCHBISHOP SAFE
there are plans for enlarging
press facilities to provide
for coverage Of the council
when it is closer TO being
held. He said plans at pres
ent are still in the formative
stage, but that when the ecu
menical council is at hand the
worlds newsmen will be fur
nished with whatever infor-
nation is available.
Archbishop Felici's news
conference took place in late
afternoon of the same day
(June 20) His Holiness Pope
John XIII addressed the
closing meeting of the first
session of the Central Pre-
paratory Commission. The
commission includes cardi-
nails, archbishops and bishops
from over so countries. Mem
bers and consultors of the
councils other preparatory
commissions and secretariats
attended its closing session.
AT his news conference,
Archbishop Felici said that
the foreign cardinals and
bishops had been especially
moved to find themselves
working close to the side of
Pope John during the week

What do they want? To divide
the Congolese, to stir up hat
reds, to excite here the old
quarrelS of their countries, to
prolong the Congolese crisis"
He also said: Two forces
are meeting head-on in the
Congo: materialism from
wherever it comes and our
spiritual tradition. The Congo
has become the terrain of
their irreducible antagonism.
The struggle is all the more
bitter since the Congo would
serve as a magnificent spring

Bishop Malula concluded
