Give Small
Parishes Break

Editor:
The Catholic Times is a
wonderful paper which | en-
joy very much, however, at
times there are observations
which disturb me and I'm
sure many people from small
parishes.
Perhaps these releases
come from sources and you
must publish them. Even so,
a true picture can still be
presented. Pm referring to
the listings of the Diocesan
Development Fund, The Most
Converts, Christmas Collec-
tons, October Communion
Count, etc. There are differ
ent sizes of parishes and
often the BIG TEN get the
rating as the leaders in the
diocese. Is this really true?
Numbers or census cards do
not make the leader.
We get tired of reading
about the big parishes giving
the most. Why should they

No DetOur

The mob violence against the Freedom Riders in
Alabama last week is an indictment against every
American who keeps silent when he sees racial in
justice in the North as well as the South.
A "cooling-off' period has been suggested for
the freedom riders. We disagree,
THERE HAS BEEN entirely too much cooling
off, and all of it has been done by those striving for
their rights as citizens. Too often as in Mississippi this
week, this cooling Off has been done in jails or work
farmsl
The fact that these incidents give us a bad
press" in other parts of the world as we'll as creating
fodder for the Red propaganda farms should give i'm
petus to their solution. But this cannot be our major
concern.
Our chief reason for speaking out against racial
discrimination in southern bus stations as well as in
northern neighborhoods, job opportunities, hotels,
motels, ct cetera is that it is immoral.
PATIENCE is A VIRTUE which the American
Negro has exercised well. But we agree with Arch
bishop Egidio Vagnozzl, the Pope's delegate to the
United States, who said recently that although patience
is necessary for progress there can be no backpedal-
ing in working to achieve indignation.
There can be no detour for the bus of interracial
justice-whether that bus rides south to Montgomery
or north to Columbus-It is up to us to see to that.

all weaknesses, all sickness of
mind and body be turned out

has anointed priests, kings,

author REV, Joseph Kern, S.
j. cited in the article states
the traditional doctrine that
the Amounting "was given by
Christ to the Church in or

death, might be spared the
pains of Purgatory and that
they might be transferred to
their heavenly abode without

A. The size of the host is
not important. The consecrat-
ed host received by the priest
is much larger than that re-
ceived by the Faithful, but
that does not mean that the
priest receives the Sacrament
of the Eucharist more than
anyone else. Christ is truly
present in a divided host; in
face we know that the early
name for the Mass was The
Breaking of Bread. II was for
long the custom to use some
thing like loaves Of bread for
the Mass. These were then
broken and distributed to the

dental breaking of the particle

vanishing
Americana
By WILLIAM GRIGC
Star Staff Writer


VANISHING AMERICANA. By Everett B. Wilson.
"a S. Barnes; $7.50)
WTOW long since you've sat in squeaEy
III porch swing? Or slid down haystack?
Or seen horses watered in troughs provided
by the city?
Or quenched your own thirst with water
from a we'll?
Or seen a hatrack in use? Or swatted
fly?
Running water, internal combustion, hall
closets and spray insecticides are fast erasing
the commonplace objects of a few years ago.
Everett B. Wilson, jr., of 76O5 Honeywell
lane, Bethesda, has recorded many of the old
scenes for vanishing Americana" He photo
graphed tall, old-fashioned barber pole in
Bethesda and, a few weeks later, found that
it had vanished.
He had to drive 5000 miles to find farm
where the hay hadn't been carted off to silos
or baled by machine.
His book, however, does contain many
Washington area scenes. Some are curios
ities-a hand-cranked vacuum cleaner, for
instance others are still fairly common, like
the big, rambling frame house, with wrap
around porch that was Papa's pride.
Mr. Wilson points out-with picture OF
the Chevy Chase Funeral Home, 5lO3 Wiscon-
sin avenue NW-that many of these big
homes are no longer single dwellings but
rooming houses, offices or funeral parlors.
Mr. Wilson was born in the first year OF
this century He grew up with the automobile
He remembers helping his father pull
wires through gas pipes to put electricity in
their home.
Driving crOss-cOuntry a few years ago,
Mr. Wilson became aware he had not seen
windmill or a team of horses for several days.
He began to turn his camera on the old. be-
cause, he decided, many of the objects are
neither useful nor beautiful by tOdays stand
ards Thus folks just throw them away.
For, nostalgia as they may be, who saves
privies, scarecrows and player pianos?

Other Changing Areas

Foggy Bottom, for example, has been
completely transformed. Starting seven or
eight years ago as the city's third restora-'
ton area, it was made desirable by private
restyling of single-family houses and by
apartment construction. Projected there
now is huge Columbia Plaza apartment
and hotel project.
Likewise important in the unfolding city
are three other restoration areas-Capitol
Hill, the Kalorama Triangle, and George
town.
Economical use of land, small-scale gar
dens, architectural restraint, and use Of
color make Georgetown seem to many
architects and planners an outstanding
example of the functional city neighbor-
hood
The Kalorama Triangle and Capitol Hill
are newer, and rapidly developing Ada
cent to the Triangle is a large area now
being replanned through urban renewal to
include smart new uptown shopping and
office center at Eighteenth street and Co.
and restoration.
Almost wherever you look on the Wash
ington map, you see new apartments, new
areas OF re0eVelopment postwar con-
struction has pushed into the suburbs and
freShened the city. AS this movement
gains momentum, it is creating a new
Washington where new places to live are
within easy reach Of places to work.
One of the significant trends that has
been taking place is the growth of large
apartment units on the upper stretch of
Connecticut avenue and along the edges
Of the city-at the Sixteenth street border
and on the Virginia shore Here multi-unit
luxury apartments indicate the attraction
that the city is having on those who have
turned their back on the suburban life.
The edge-of-town apartments, some with
swimming pools and roof gardens, repre-
sent a desire to enjoy the advantages of
city and still retain some flavor of the calm
and more relaxed pace of the quiet suburbs.

Largest and most spectacular of the
brand-new neighborhoods is Washington's
spruced-up Southwest Ten years ago it
was largely Slum.
First residential project to be completed
there was the elegant 402-unit Capitol Park
Apartments at 300 Fourth street S.W. Then,
in quick succession, came the first group of
81 town houses nearby; shopping building
for the Town Center development at Fourth
and M streets, and two handsome apart
ment structures of group of four to flank
the shopping complex.
Construction or planning Is well ad-
vanced on thousands more apartments and
town houses to be completed within the
next two or three years.
Southwest's future is matched in sig
nificance by other areas of fantastic de-
velopment.

Features of Urbun Living

One recent visual breakthrough:
. Top-floor living rooms in private homes
having walk-out roof terraces.
Another:
Q Floor ceiling Potomac viStaS pulled
right into apartment life.
Still other attainments in new directions:
. "No-story" first-floor apartment lobbies
entirely enclosed in glass.
Settings that suggest miniatures of the
countryside in the center Of the city.
. Walking distance locations from work,
shopping and pleasure spots
. Controlled climate, winter and summer
in apartments and town houses.
Wider ranges of choice for purchase,
such as cooperative homes and apart
mentS.
New types of rental units, including
maintenance-free single- family dwellings.
Clublike gathering places for Joint use
in cozy neighborhoods.
. on-site swimming pools, indoors and
outdoors.
. Places to sunbathe, swim, eat drink or
relax in a garden setting atop apartment
buildings.
borhoods where children can play without
danger.
These precedent setting, giant steps are
both visual and psychological. They are
changing the city, and they are also
changing the way people look at the city. as
the scene for family life.
Thousands of new and restyled dwellings
and apartments already have begun to
delineate new image of intown living.
Search out these new bright patches and
you get an exciting picture of the present
as well as a substantial preview of golden
promise.
Contrasting sharply and seeming un-
related in many ways, these spreading in
town residential centers are alike in one
overwhelming respect: They symbolic the
phoenixlike resurrection of the city as
brisk and blooming place, equally as pleas
urable to look at as to live in.

Under the law in effect until
the beginning of this year, Mr..
Sullivan said, this couple could
not be paid any benefits for the
year if the husbands earnings
exceeded $2080. Under the new
law, his earnings could go as
high as $36l0 before the couple
would have to forgo all of their
social security benefits.
A retired worker with no de-
pendents, entitled to a benefit
of $74 (the average now being
paid) could earn about $1,000
in a year and still get some of
his benefits.
Many older working people
in the Kent and Sussex Coun-
ty area have not yet applied
for their social security benefits,
MIR. Sullivan noted. He said that
many of them may not realize
that their earnings are at a
level which will now permit
them to get some payments.
Some others may be under
the impression that if they earn
more than 200 in a year, they
cannot collect any social secur.
ity benefits. This is not so, he
said.
Another thing many people
don't realize is that regardless
of their annual earnings, a So
cial security beneficiary can be
paid his benefits for any month
he does not earn more than
