Mistaken For Freedom
Riders; conVosSerS Given
Up Treatment In Miss,

New Orleans (ANP) - Maya
zine canvassers, accustomed to
having doors slammed in their
faces, were surprised at the well
come they received in Mississippi
enroute here from st. Louis.
From the time they crossed the
state line into Mississippi until
they entered Louisiana they had
a constant escort of state highway
police cars. At one time the can
vassers riding in three automobiles
had a IL car police escort. Alto
gether, they said, 43 police cars
accompanied them through the
state.
1t was presumed that police mis-
took them for freedom riders be-
cause one of the group Of Is men
and women was a Negro. Five
were white women, one carrying
a small infant.
In New Orleans the group was
identified as magazine canvassers
by Bob Pierson, FL, field manager
Of the Gold Circulation company OF
Los Angeles.

Sit-Inners Win Victory
In Southern RhodeSio

Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia
CAMP - Africans in Salisbury
have started a sit-in campaign to
break the color bar.
Five members of the African
National Democratic party invad-
ed hotels, restaurants, stores and
elevators last week from which
nonwhites are banned.
In each case the Africans were
told to leave but they were allowed
to go up in a department store
elevator marked Europeans only
after they refused to get out.
This is a nonviolent campaign
aimed at exposing the color bar
in hotels and other places" Robert
Mugabe, publicity secretary of the
party, said.
1T is a small start but we hope
it will intensity" he added. Some
people, black and white, are organ
izing a similar sit-in campaign and
we hope we will be able to coordin'
ate our efforts"
A similar campaign has beer
organized in Nulawayo.

GUEST EDITORIAL
Youth And Unity

Bishop Paul J. Mailman of Charleston has given
us some salutary thoughts on the Theme of Youth
Week - Youth, Unity Truth.
In a sermon prepared for the observance of
National Catholic Youth Week, October % to Noyem-
Der 5, the Bishop has this to say.
1.-THE theme, Youth, Unity, Truth are the concerns
OF an undertaking as vast as the coming General Coun-
Gil. But they must also be the concerns Of our Catholic
homes, schools, parishes. Neither unity nor truth is
static; they are alive and full of vigor. Catholic Youth
must be united not only with each other, but with all
their fellows of the coming generation :. with their
elders who today hold posts of responsibility, and
future generations who will follow the youth of today.
That they may be one 80. that they may know the
truth. The body of divine truths is fresh for each gen
Grafton. Never changing in its eternal sameness, it
must be applied anew by young and old to the shifting
problems of the current age"
THIS is A A WHEN A vast morass of organi-
cations, agencies, institutions, activities of every kind
threaten to undermine the very sanity of our world by
division, confusion and wrong sense of direction.
People, youth and adults alike are growing increasing
ly home sick - tired of a home, a world that distorts
and divides but sick for a home that develops a sense
OF purpose IN their lives and breeds sanity and love.
Perhaps then this years observance of National
Catholic Youth Week should be a concern of all Of
us - Pastors, teachers, parents, youth, Rejecting on
this great theme it might make us realize more fully
that unity and truth are found only in God and that our
inconsistencies can be cured only when we become
firmly secure in our membership and participation in
our real home, the Mystical Body of Christ - the
Church.
Our own Bishop Issenmann in his youth week LET.
Ter to the Priests of the Diocese urged them to ZEN
courage our Catholic Young Men and Women to keep
this week in a spirit of prayer and generous observance
OF It's meaning for them in their lives. He asks the
Pastors particularly ito encourage the youth to receive
Our Lord in Holy Communion and to assist daily at
Mass. Devotion to the Holy Eucharist, s~pringing
from a personal love of Our Lord, will have its salu-
tary effect.
THIS "SALUTARY EFFECT" could be for all
OF us a greater awareneSs that in this day and age of
motion the best home is not the one with the most
social contacts, the best youth organization or parish
is not the one with the most activities - rather, it is
the one in which the members are constantly united
in the ceaSeless activity, the never ending motion of
the Divine Love of God.
Indeed, Catholic Youth Week could rightly be
called a family affair-ln the Diocese; Bishop, Pastors
and faithful, in the parish: Pastors, adults and youth.
In the home: Parents and children all united in the
Truth, God the Father of all.

Diocesan Youth Director

The Yardstick
Laity Must Assume
Social ApostoIate Role
by Msgr. George G. Higgins

is a task that belongs partl-
cularly to our sons, the laity,
since their work generally
involves them in temporal ac-
tivities and in the formation
of institutions dealing with
such affairs"
SO FAR AS the United
States is concerned, this dis
tinction between the role of
the Iaity in the social apos-
tolate of. the Church has al
ways been fairly we'll under
stood in theory.
In practice, however, there
seems to be room for i'm
provement. The record will
show, / think, that, proper
tionately speaking, the clergy
has played a more dominant
role than the laity in the
American Catholic social ac-
ton movement.
Even today, at a time when
the lay apostolate is gradually
coming into its own, the per-
centage of priests attending
the average social action
meeting, as compared to the
percentage of laymen, is out
of all proportion.
DO NOT THINK it can be
